Looking through, his main objections seem to be that sugar in a fish tank can't represent the actual atmosphere we live in, and his idea that the air 0-1km above the sea is less dense than the air above it, therefore refraction actually bends light up (he also shows pictures of lasers bending...

I stand corrected. I've seen that term around but didn't know what it meant. Now I do. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

I've knocked up a frame with some bits I found lying around: The idea is that I can locate the horizon in between the two metal bars, so I have a straight edge not only below but above the horizon. Vertically stretched, it looks like this: Pretty good in the centre of the frame, and a...

Somebody should make a video of your analysis and post it to YouTube.

Bruce Maccabee's conclusion: In this case it appears that an airplane would be consistent with the observational evidence. Although I can not prove there was an airplane flying over the telescope, there is no reason to believe that an airplane could not have done so. Since there is no evidence...

You mean for making a screenshot? I usually put it on full screen, start it playing seven or eight seconds before the shot I want, and by the time it gets there the title has disappeared and I can screenshot it while it's in motion.

He's going to try to do the same thing again? I guess he hasn't been keeping tabs on this thread, where the much easier to do and more conclusive daytime observation was suggested. I also emailed him to suggest a place near Brighton where he could do a Wallace-style Bedford Level observation...

Finally got around to 'finishing off' the obstruction calculator. I decided the best way to approach the 'mountainside equation' would be to have it output the predicted visible elevation above sea level at a known distance. This returns the following (using the recent San Jacinto shot as an...

The live video shows them on the beach (quite high) and at 21:10 is where they see the laser aimed up into the air: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyv3n2aCfEM&t=21m10s

In 'Escaping The Rabbit Hole' there's a fair bit of talk about the conspiracy theory 'demarcation line': the idea that we all exist on a 'conspiracy spectrum', and that theories and ideas are either seen as credible or ridiculous depending on where our demarcation line lies. Here's an example...

I was at a spot this evening that gives a nice view of the sunset from about 600 feet above sea level. My water level was a bit rushed to put together, but I got a few half-decent shots, such as this one: Those distant mountains are up to 4600 feet high, so a nice example of far taller...

It may just be me but it seems a little difficult here to work out what people are referring to. There are three clips in the OP, so saying which one a particular debunk is of would be helpful. Also, I'm not sure what the reference to "P-Brane using a bad photo" is since he's using video...

Small scale Wallace Experiment here? It's between Brighton and Worthing: https://www.google.es/maps/place/southwick

Dark now. Not seeing any action on the beach...

If they want to be precisely one metre above the water then where they put themselves is going to be dictated by the tides.

I wonder if they've worked out that the tide will be further out than those places?

Whereabouts? The only thing I can see that could be in the way are the ruins of Brighton West Pier, but it doesn't seem to be an issue.

I was waiting for a Himawari-8 live image the other day and I think it was a 10 minute delay. Just checked now and it was 24/25 minutes.

I guess they're just situated by the piers. I thought the same thing too.

The experiment is happening today, from 1500GMT. There'll be livestreams at the following YouTube channels, which may provide an opportunity to make comments: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrV1BQhaufM-PsEtMjjehDQ https://www.youtube.com/user/roxanne291 To summarise: 6000 lumens LED torch...
