The Flat Earth

[johnnytodd]

Sadly, as I flew to Paris a few weeks ago, I was unable to get that elusive proof, because my daughter insisted on having the window seat.

Why do five-year-olds en-route to Disneyland insist on ruining science?

didn't you just hover above your house and wait for the earth to spin beneath you??

 

[johnnytodd]

Thanks, I was really worried about this, glad we have Johnny Todd going up in his balloon to give us a final judgement on this big matter which scientists have been unable to solve.

got called off

Why is the horizon at 179.92° instead of 180°?

Why is it when Kansas a state measured at 213,096 km² and literally flatter than a pancake, you cannot see or find any curve whatsoever and such you can physically see with your own eyes via a telescope for over 100 miles in a straight line..............and if the earth were as NASA and the Freemasons tell us a globe there should be over 600ft of curve...........pfft

epic dodge LOL

 

[johnnytodd]

epic dodge LOL

impossible if the sun is as big and as far away as NASA says it is LOL

johnny is cornered and doesn't kno what to do

i sense great panic in u

why isn't the horizon at 180 degrees? tell me

why isn't the horizon at 180 degrees? tell me

how can i see something from 60 miles away with a telescope when a globe earth says it should be 300ft below horizon?..............cmon tell me???????

see post 23 Ebeneezer...............oh and answer my question too LOL

179.92° for the entire earth = round earth

The Mathematics behind this Calculation

This calculation should be taken as a guide only as it assumes the earth is a perfect ball (THIS IS STILL TO BE PROVEN BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT) 6378137 metres radius. It also assumes the horizon you are looking at is at sea level. A triangle is formed with the centre of the earth (C) as one point, the horizon point (H) is a right angle and the observer (O) the third corner. Using Pythagoras's theorem we can calculate the distance from the observer to the horizon (OH) knowing CH is the earth's radius (r) and CO is the earth's radius (r) plus observer's height (v) above sea level.

Sitting in a hotel room 10m above sea level a boat on the horizon will be 11.3km away. The reverse is also true, whilst rowing across the Atlantic, the very top of a mountain range 400m high could be seen on your horizon at a distance of 71.4 km assuming the air was clear enough.

now comes the bit where u explain what this has to do with my question

off u go

off u go

no answer have you?............like i said brainwashed.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

no answer have you?............like i said brainwashed.

no answer to what? the arbitrary calculations you just provided me? getting desperate now old bean, im about ready to claim victory in the name of christopher columbus

 

[johnnytodd]

why isn't there a big mountain of water in the middle of the atlantic ocean....................after all the earth is a ball

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

why isn't the horizon at 180 degrees with the earth

why is the horizon so close

this is a real head scratcher

Ironic given you said this about Adam Johnson...

If he does 3 years he can still attend her 18th birthday.

what you on about Lama head?

There's no such thing as gravity.

 

[johnnytodd]

There's no such thing as gravity.

It certainly has not been scientifically proven.

 

[johnnytodd]

The Mississippi river in its 3000 miles would have to ascend 11 miles before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

LOL

There is. It's called the horizon and is the reason you can't see America from Cornwall.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Well done Johnny, you have an 18th century grasp of astronomy.

 

[johnnytodd]

which is far more reliable than what NASA brainwashes you with Eberneezer......LOL

Funny you can see 60 miles with a telescope and only 3 without,standing in the exact same spot,,,,,, thanks for falling for my trap,

LOL

I'm still waiting on that whole 'angle of the sun' question from before.

I'm still waiting on that whole 'angle of the sun' question from before.

And me for circum nav top and bottom

 

[johnnytodd]

If the horizon is approximately 3 miles ahead for your direct vision and it then curves away ( apparently ). Your peripheral vision approximately 180 degrees will be 6 miles in width, yet there is still no curve whatsoever.

The earth is flat
