(Like a pancake?) 2 hours ago, DonnyTJS said: ...so it has no natural radius from which you could derive a consistent mathematical formula. Don't give me that. It's not a PERFECT sphere so you can't do it? The fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere is consistent with the gravitational effect of the mass of its orbiting satellite. That's the thing you don't wish to grasp - these aren't a series of independent scientific claims that you are purporting to question, they are all part of a self-consistent whole governed by 'laws' that scientists have been able to derive from observation and model mathematically. The mathematical models not only explain much of the observable universe, they also enable us to make predictions, and many of which can and have been tested. I'm not a mathematician, but it seems pretty obvious to me that you can't derive a straightforward mathematical formula for the curvature of a sphere that isn't perfect. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2 x pi x r (so this can be applied to a perfect sphere by bisecting the sphere at any point such that the line passes through its centre). However, if the sphere is not perfect, the radius will be different at any given point, and without a constant value for r, there is no straightforward formula (perhaps it can be done with calculus, but that's beyond my ken).

Pretend it's a perfect sphere. (Scientism tells us that it's 24,900 miles around the 'equator' and it's 24,812 miles around the poles... so that's pretty darn close.)

DonnyTJS Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 2 hours ago, Scotty CTA said: Nope, nothing like that as you well know. I found an image that showed a 'circular' earth inside a square to give you an idea of what I meant and how 4 physical corners could be possible. You purposely took it as if I was showing you EXACTLY what the flat earth looks like because you are a gatekeeper and that's what gatekeepers do. Revelation 7:1 states that the Earth has four corners. In this thread you said: "Taking all of the Bible verses and putting them together, the image would look something like this...". Well, I was pointing out that the resulting graphic was not the result of all of the Bible verses. It was the result of cherry picking. Your previous attempt to show how "4 physical corners could be possible" wasn't consistent with anything, including the verse it claimed to illustrate. You still have not unsquared this particular circle. I am no more a gatekeeper than you are a fuckwit - why not stick to the issues and leave off attacking the man?

Far from watering down the truth I simply don't accept your version of the truth, in the case of the flat earth - same as pretty much everyone else on here. Yet I am the Gatekeeper? I'm not on the board much these days because I'm busy and not many topics interest me - this one does, because it raises fundamental questions about the nature of knowledge. Why do you need me to "admit the obvious" about JFK or 9/11? I rarely enter those discussions at all because I have nothing to contribute (you'd think any Gatekeeper worth his salt would be all over them). I know a bit about the history of science; I know a bit about the Bible; I know a lot about the transmission and interpretation of texts. I know nothing about the dynamic forces involved in what we witnessed on 9/11 nor about the events surrounding JFK's assassination so what would my ignorance bring to the debate?

Look at my posting history, Scotty; it doesn't bear that out at all. Quote One would think that they raise fundamental questions about truth. Seriously? If so, you don't understand what I mean by 'fundamental questions about the nature of knowledge'. Those were individual, one-off events involving countless variables and therefore not subject to 'theory' in the sense of testable hypotheses with predictive potential. The nature of the universe, on the other hand, is quite different and that's where fundamental questions apply. I like that you're questioning scientific orthodoxy - it shouldn't go unquestioned. But, by the same token, nor should your explanations of the nature of the universe. People answer your questions more effectively than you answer theirs. And there's a reason for that...

Huddersfield Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Scotty, have you ever taken a photograph of the stars yourself? I used to do it a lot, years ago as a kid, either through the local observatory or with my dad's old camera in the back garden on a long exposure. I've seen it & done it, & you get something like this (mine were never that good, but I recognise the pattern) - try it yourself: If you repeat the exercise repeatedly, from the same place, you get a similar, but observably different, pattern (the stars move relative positions, the planets move relative to the background of the stars - Venus is especially interesting to watch, likewise the Moon). You could probably do something like this with nothing more than a good mobile phone camera & a few decent dark nights. If you point your camera directly at Polaris (the Pole Star), you will get this type of pattern: Now, should you & someone a couple of thousand miles to the South of you point your cameras to the same point in the sky, at the same time & take the same exposure photo, you'll get the same pattern, with the single & glaringly obvious difference that Polaris will be noticeable higher abover the horizon to the northenmost observer. Should you manage to get a network of people, you will see a measurable pattern, explicable only by being on a spinning globe. This is schoolboy stuff, simple proof, no awkward maths or physics needed, just some simple logic; you can't create that pattern & the elevation difference any other way. Try the experiment yourself (assuming of course that you are truly open-minded as you claim) & see. Re. the Moon & its light - get yourself to a good observatory & look for yourself over a few nights; crescent to half-moon is good. Watch how the shadows change & move. You can see clearly shadow patterns consistent with a setting or rising sun. Free & simple to do.

If the moon is lighting itself it is pretty mystifying how these images could exist as no light source behaves in such a manner. What you are seeing is sunlight reflecting off a different area of the lunar surface as it orbits the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
