I just now realized that I can't trust the level of the sidewalks on my calibration shots. I'll have to move Calibration 1 and Calibration 2 onto the surface of the water rather than taking them from the nice firm sidewalks like I was originally thinking. That'll make the calibration more...

They have. It's not super common but it's done from time to time by high school science classes. They aren't attempting to prove the Earth isn't flat, they're trying to measure the circumference of the Earth but the procedure is exactly that same. I submit that you know of no such thing. You've...

Patrick, Seriously, would my measuring anything significantly departed from a zero drop in the surface of a continuous body of water over a distance of 1.3 miles be sufficient to prove to you that the Earth is not flat? I explained the math involved in post #1294, in case you missed it. Clete

Nice link! I understand why the thought experiment was done on the equinox but the experiment will work on any day. If a person wants to prove to themselves that the Earth was not flat, all he would have to do is put a stick in the ground (it would need to be a flat and level piece of ground...

Me too! I am have a very difficult time finding anyone willing to help me do it. You can't believe (or maybe you can) the goofy looks and laughter I get in response to even bring it up, never mind asking people to help me make the measurement. Even my own kids make fun of me and tell me that you...

You're a fool.

Because they aren't about the environment, they're about politics. It is about power - pure and simple. It is about telling you how to live your life and what you can and cannot do with your private property. The end result of what environmentalists want is jack-booted authoritarianism, whether...

In fact, you are - the crazy one. I cannot believe - I mean I literally cannot believe you wrote that post. Now math doesn't work and the mathematical equations that tell you how circles work somehow also works on a flat surfaces!? Do you know what a tangent is, Patrick? (Serious question...

Patrick, If I measured the curvature of the Earth myself, with my own equipment, and the measurement came within a reasonable margin of error of that which would be expected if the Earth is a sphere 24,901 miles in circumstance, would that convince you that the Earth is not flat?

What a brilliant article! Thank you for posting it.

"Fabricated image." - Making me part of the conspiracy. That would be hysterical.

:up: Test run.... http://ge.tt/9FhV9ap2 Incidentally, I'd still love to know just what flat-earthers think that's a picture of!

That's what I did in that last post only with OneDrive.

I keep running up against a file size limitation on these photos of my own. I was just hoping that I could find a way to store them without having to have multiple copies of the same image. It's easy enough to convert them into smaller files though.

Photobucket SUCKS!

The continents do NOT contantly change size and shape. What changes is the orbital distance of the satellite and how wide the field of view of the camera. A point that has already been repeatedly explained perhaps a dozen times during this discussion. Don't worry about it though! No need to be...

This is not only proof that the flat earth image was a fake but it is very strong evidence, if not outright proof, that the Earth is NOT flat. The original must have shown the Earth's curvature. Otherwise, there would have been no reason to modify the image.

Not to mention the fact that anyone with virtually any camera with nearly any wide angle lens on it can make a curved horizon look flat and vise versa. It just depends on which lens and at what angle. In other words, it's a false dichotomy. Neither are lying, they simply use different cameras...

If you want, just skip most of this post and read everything below the dashed line... What? The surface of a body of water 1/4 of a mile in length would be less than half an inch, which is far less than you can detect with the naked eye and any distance shorter than that gets really hard to...

Don't lie to me, David. You quoted those passages in defense of a flat earth. No one here is so stupid as to have not gotten the point. I've never said anything like that. I simply was testing how married you are to this idiotic idea that the Bible teaches that the Earth is flat and that stars...
