I wrote a response to this thread last night, but it's mysteriously gone. So here is a new one:
If an FE reported an FE result from an experiment, I would be intrigued. I would hope that nobody would simply take an internet forum posting as "evidence" of anything, and no I would not merely take the FE at their word. For example:
Ok, I've performed it, the light on the ball was different to that on the moon. Do you believe me?
I'm not going to merely believe you because you say so. But this is an interesting result which contradicts my own results, so please show us the photos, and we'll want to dig deeper from there. By coincidence, I was just listening to Flat Earth Math's Civil Discourse last night, and he had a FE on who made exactly this claim. What do you think FEM said next? He said he'd like to see those photos. The FE in question didn't have them, but presumably he'll send them later.
I understand that you aren't being serious in the above post. Instead you're trying to make a point. Your point is that some (even many) REs will not accept any amount of evidence from a FE. As long as you use the words some/many, I'll agree. But there are some of us who will absolutely look at genuine evidence.
As I'd mentioned in my previous post, if you can come up with compelling evidence for the FE, I would be very interested in reproducing your results. If I can reproduce it, I would like to begin the peer review process (informally at first), and ultimately publish a paper on it.
Before you bother, there are some experiments that are particularly not interesting because they really don't prove much of anything in the way of FE:
1) Shooting lasers or looking straight close along the ground. Refraction makes these extremely unreliable for any purpose.
2) Taking spirit levels on airplanes.
3) Pointing out "fake" photos or videos.
JRowe, on your map claim, what you're showing there appears to be the Gleason AE map. Is that correct? I'd be happy to re-examine that map if you like, but it was my understanding that you have already rejected this map yourself. Certainly I have looked at it and found that it suffers from distance distortion and pac-manning all around the outer rim.
