Wolfy, you're now saying something that we can see with our own eyes isn't real and is a distortion of the light as it hits our eyes. That's a level up from 'everyone is lying to us' - you're now saying we can't even trust our own senses. On that basis, surely if you did go to space, and did observe the earth as a sphere, couldn't you just argue that it remained a trick of the light? The eyes work with light waves not 'realtiy'. I feel sorry for Wolfy having to explain the basics to idiots. Read a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that means that a whole section of the horizon has not only been omitted, but that the rest of the picture has 'shifted down' to accomodate this loss?

The thing is, it's not just basic visual fooling with all this stuff. Some of it is basic natural verifiable science on everyone's part that can only be scuppered by people who choose to tell us that magic defeats our own normal logical sense. Now, don't get me wrong. If you choose to go with everything on that part, as we were all schooled into, then fine. I really have no issues with any of it, because like I said...I was exactly the same and had to go over stuff enough times to start to see how ridiculous some of the stuff we've been taught, is.

Your horizon is always at eye level, no matter how high or low you go, as long as you are looking horizontally level. The sky meets water or the sky meets land. Now picture a ship below that horizon line. It's naturally going to lose light to the bottom of the hull whilst the mast is going to sit closer to your horizon line and obviously higher towards more reflected light. Your eyes naturally take in this light but omit the darkest part which you now view as a sinking ship, or basically a ship supposedly going down a curve or Earth. Have you ever wondered why people mention ships going down a curve that are starboard or port facing to that person. What happens here? Because surely a ship doesn't move away from your view, sideways. See what I'm saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many people on here would consider me to be someone who follows the standard school of thought tbf. I seem to spend half my forum posting time arguing with people about the wider failings of Western civilisation. It's why no one likes me anymore But even I'm struggling with your position here. There is clear evidence refuting your theory, and no "non-theoretical" evidence in support of it - and the only basis upon which to challenge that is to question the legitimacy of absolutely every aspect of our society, and indeed I would argue, every person you meet. That's such a big jump that for it to make any rational sense, surely, you would have to have actual physical evidence of the claim. That's for you to be satisfied by it as a position, as someone with a skeptical mind, I would argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can prove it but my proof would never stand up to peer review, because it's a simple proof that we all know. Water level. Gravity being atmospheric pressure. The problem is, they will always be rendered as not realistic and cannot work, when clearly it does work. It gets thrown aside in favour of curved water and also gravity, with simple un-provable explanations cited. You mention things as basic as you can...something like, well how come a helicopter can hover and yet the ground does not move from under it? The usual answer is, " oh, because the Earth spins so fast that it drags the atmosphere with it and everything else within it, whether it's on the floor or in the air." Most people's logic tells them that this does not make any real sense. It really doesn't but we get told that the Earth has been spinning for millions of years and has managed to drag the atmosphere along with it and that's why if you jump up you just follow the rotation. Then when you say, "hey, how come we don't get flung off this Es that the Earth takes 24 hours to make one revolution so it's going so slow relative to someone in space looking at it. There's always an answer to the nonsense and people swallow it because it's "official" yet hid behind the comfort blanket of a "scientific theory"...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, conservation of momentum would apply. The atmosphere is also matching this speed, so doesn't act on the helicopter (assuming no wind).

Do you honestly believe that the atmosphere could carry a helicopter along at the same speed of the Earth if it hovered for 1 hour and that helicopter not losing any momentum. Basically just being dragged along by the atmosphere for 1 hour without any reduction by friction of drag? Added to that...did you watch the Felix Baumgartner 23 mile high jump from what we were told was basically a vacuum? Is he going to be dragged along with the atmosphere even in a supposed near vacuum? He was supposedly up there for over an hour and yet finished up landing just 73 miles or so away from his start point. The trouble with that is, if the Earth rotates at around 1000 mph or 800 mph to give a smaller estimate for Mexico, then shouldn't he end up around 800 miles from his starting point? You see, we're asked to just accept this and it literally does not make any rational sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, we're asked to just accept this and it literally does not make any rational sense. They're not being dragged along by atmosphere though. Atmosphere isn't acting on the helicopter in this scenario. Both the atmosphere and the helicopter have sideways momentum already. Once the helicopter lifts, it keeps this sideways momentum because there is no force acting against it (because the atmosphere is going in the same direction, at the same speed). The only way it slows down is if the wind or some other force works against it. And obviously in a live test that would happen - but assuming absolutely no wind, the atmosphere would have no impact at all - because it's matching the helicopter's speed. Which is presumably why it doesn't matter whether or not this happens in a vacuum. Because the atmosphere and all components involved in the process, travel at the same speed. Thus they don't act upon each other. Same for Baumgartner. Whatever he jumped from was in orbit at the same sideways speed it had when it departed. Thus he retained that sideways speed also. As he fell, then wind currents will have come into play and pushed him off course. But as you say, not by that much - because actually, he's moving at the same sideways speed as the earth more or less throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I understand exactly what you're saying, but the reality is that the helicopter lifting up from the ground would not keep an exact motion with a solid Earth for 1 hour. This is what I'm getting at. Imagine being on a spinning roundabout. You're attached to the roundabout by your feet by the friction of them and your body mass. If you jumped up, you would be flung off, but assuming the roundabout was absolutely huge and you jumped up...the roundabout would have moved a fair distance away in terms of the point from which you jumped from. Now judging by your vacuum mindset and saying no friction, then we can apply that to the scenario and come to the same conclusion that the roundabout moves away from the point of the jumper. A rotating Earth at over 1000 mph would follow the same scenario, if Earth was a rotating globe, which I do not believe for one second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cell among cells. If we could view it from outside, which obviously we can't, then I would liken it to one of an infinite cells, just like we would be looking at something like, frog spawn or even a boat load of poached eggs with Earth being one yolk among the infinite yolks, or cells. I don't really like to make analogies like this because I just know someone will make out that I think the Earth is a poached egg.
