Great work, @Bass In Your Face - I'm a total GE novice so would've struggled with any of that. So it does seem that he had the correct mountains labelled? Though I'm still confused as to why Greybeard appears to the right of the line through Fryingpan. I'm not sure why perspective would play a...

It does, amazingly well, apart from the mountains in the peakfinder view all being at significantly different "apparent elevations" (ie, degrees below the horizontal). This could be accounted for by the viewer in his peakfinder image being at 6000 feet, whereas in he says he was at 5382 feet...

A youtube video claims a discrepancy in the observed relative heights of four peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, supporting the flat earth hypothesis, however: The viewpoint indicated in the video does not match the actual viewpoint, as can be verified by looking at a map. By...

I just skimmed through a post-flight video presentation of that mission but didn't see the photo in question. Did see some nice shots of the (curved) earth, though - and a very groovy experiment with bubbles of lemon and strawberry drinks: (13:52)

I like their style. They're keeping it objective and he's being much politer than he was here. I guess there's room for both approaches. ;)

Here are a couple of my favourite "ships beyond the horizon videos": And a nice simulator of what a ship should look like on round/flat earths, from different viewpoints (including another good vid): http://www.fossweb.com/delegate/ssi-foss-ucm/Contribution...

Good work. :) I guess I was letting my busyness prevent me from properly checking my memory - which turned out to be faulty this time. Happy to be wrong! :)

Clicking on the twitter link, he says in the third comment down that the time lapse video is from Warren Dunes State Park, and also says the same in the abc57 article about the photograph. I think he mistakenly posted it as Grand Mere in the beginning, and it kind of stuck. The top of the...

I know I speak for myself here, but does anyone else have concerns about how much time they're spending on flat earth stuff? Debunking. Answering questions in forums. Researching and providing evidence. It does take a lot of time, and time I could probably spend better doing other things. I...

I think one of the big problems for Sandor and his team is that they don't seem to understand what a real scientific experiment involves. You've got to admit, it was a bit of a Keystone Cops show, with bits of sticky tape, guys holding tape measures over water, slanted boards, taking readings...

All this talk of an anomaly at Lake Balaton got me interested in looking at the geoid data again, even though we decided way back when (link to posts) that it wasn't relevant. I went to the geoid height calculator here and entered several sets of coordinates along the line shown below...

I don't know if this is pertinent, but I've barely heard of Sandy Hook, so don't have much to remember or forget. And I must not be unique in that (probably I was in the UK when it happened). Dunblane, Columbine...they're about the only school shootings I could guess with any conviction where...

Great that you did that, it was definitely time for it. Can I also suggest maybe a new thread is started? This one is mostly about the intricacies of the experiment - ie, input during the build-up, and much analysis and debate afterwards. But how about a straight, "Claim: Lake Balaton...

Agreed. And that's why I think this is a such a salient lesson for those who took part in Lake Balaton. Purpose of experiment: To measure curvature, or lack of, across a lake. Result of experiment: No curvature observed (ie, no obscuration of a distant landmark). Is the earth flat, then, or...

I'm not sure I would say the picture of the beach building is clear enough to deduce anything from. What I was more interested in was the railing. His picture from distance does appear to show the full railing, and some rocks beneath, so is basically right down to the water: Naturally we...

Am I reading this correctly? Are people asking if variances in geoid height might be a factor in local earth curvature experiments? Well gosh darn if I haven't been saying this for months. ;) Also, are we still debating the "direct hit into the camera"? Perhaps we could focus on that and get...

With all the ballyhoo over Lake Balaton I've been reminded of this video: in it a guy shows a railing right down to the water from 5.33 miles away which 'should' have about 8 feet hidden by the earth's curve. Now, as far as taking the photos goes, the methodology is good, the image is clear...

The results are in! Posted by someone involved, and shared by Sandor. Phew. Well I'm glad that's over and done with. Here's looking forward to life on the undeniably proven flat earth. Now I wonder what's for tea...?

Scratch number 6. I posted it in a forum and was rightly asked, "well, has this ever been done?" So I emailed the Keck Observatory and they told me they don't point the telescopes lower than about 20 degrees. Ah well. Maybe it's right in theory, but if it's never been put into practice, I guess...

Any idea where that is?
