Is the prize for showing that the Earth is flat, or for doing the experiment? ;)

True dat - but because the poles themselves would be marked with measurement indicators, it would mean that the height of the camera could be varied.

Q. Anyone know the depth of the canal? I'm thinking poles mounted in concrete blocks sitting on the bed.

A lollipop [UK: school crossing sign] is exactly what I was thinking of - and maybe going beyond one at mid, but with targets at a quarter and three quarter points also, or perhaps even more. I was also thinking targets could be laterally staggered; could perhaps be placed in pairs across the...

Q. What size would a target have to be that a P900 would see it clearly at 6 miles away?

I passed over the Old Bedford Level last year on the railway bridge and it certainly got me thinking. I may be in England this summer and might be up for something. Similar to Mick, I've been thinking of a semi-permanent installation which people could view, investigate, and corroborate at...

Maybe B.O.B. can take his Kickstarter money and buy a ticket on this instead. It's only twelve thousand dollars. What's the guessing on how a flat earther on board would explain their trip? (Assuming they're measuring, plotting, photographing, tracking, and verifying, etc.)

Or rather, that those particular officials were unwilling, in that instance.

Can you provide examples of this? While the mainstream news has reported on the modern phenomenom of fake news, it seems more in the way of interest and analysis rather than suppressing alternative viewpoints. What is the "worldview we're all being encouraged to have"? I don't personally feel...

I do find those stats interesting, and am glad you posted them. Though the previous assertion was about "most western people", not just Americans.

Those were some fun videos, but I don't think they proved it: because they only ran each test three times, there's still a probability that they obtained the 'correct' results by chance.

One of the best things about the internet, I think, is that it's so easy to find the truth about all the nonsense one reads on the internet.

I suppose the question is: before the internet, did people read more? Were they more well-informed? Were they less likely to believe things that aren't true? Were they better able to put together a decent argument to back up their beliefs? I'm not so sure the answer to those questions is "yes"...

The breakdown is there on the current page also; need to click the tabs beneath the table. Anyone have the link to the "live poll" (rather than the "very religious" page)? Figures were slightly different - eg, 89% rather than 84% overall. I know I visited it yesterday but I'm having a devil of...

It's in the OP. ;) Mick's links'll take you to the main site, eventually. Though I see the survey is still running, and the latest figures are a bit more slanted towards globe earth belief.

What we do see in the poll, though, is a steady and consistent trend towards globe earth belief being stronger the older the respondent, and doubt in the globe earth being weaker. If we assume that the millenials were 'messing about', they would be bucking this trend. And if we assume a...

So you think they were just having a bit of fun with the survey?

It says London now. :)

I stopped drinking coffee 20 years ago and I don't have cancer. That's proof.

Interesting. When I checked in with this a few weeks ago he didn't seem to have had much activity on there for a few years. I messaged him but got no reply. And when I looked again his profile has been deleted.
