You seem to remember me from the YT comments section as you call me Zombie Woof, which is what I call myself on YT. (Zomby Woof, actually. A Frank Zappa song.) This video you have cited gives an incorrect analysis. I'll leave an explanation of that to someone else, as I have very little time...

You aren't answering any of the questions raised in my post. Let's talk about one. You say the boat was 5 km from shore. I think it was much closer. How did you determine that the boat was 5 km distant? Please answer clearly. If it was not 5 km from the laser, the 6 foot figure would not...

In the promised experiment both the laser and the target will be on land on different parts of the lake shoreline 23Km apart. The target will be a camera. It's all explained here: https://www.metabunk.org/upcoming-laser-experiment.t7664/ Note: Sandor Szekely (aka SzS, aka DaMan) is the...

We've already had some exchange of ideas. Here are the mistakes you made this time -Wrong type of laser equipment. This is a laser stage projector. (I've turned the photo upside down so that the writing is legible.) Similar to this one...

No. "Dr. Zack" is someone else and lives in Spain; but they are collaborating on this. There's also this thread: https://www.metabunk.org/upcoming-laser-experiment.t7664/

So, do I think we should ignore FE? FE believers often have a psychology that is prone to "crank magnetism" - the propensity to hold multiple irrational, unsupported or ludicrous beliefs that are often unrelated to one another. While FE is harmless, things like vaccine denial are not. The...

I read that article. I think that poll would be negatively criticized by experts. Was it designed and conducted by a biased person? In those detailed interviews did she brow beat people into an answer? Were the poll questions designed properly to be as neutral as possible? Granted there...

This is not to say that all FE believers have come out of this Creationist culture. There are a significant number who have a personal psychology that makes the FE model both believable and seductive.

For those of you wondering what FE believers think is behind the ball earth conspiracy, I've collected some comments from YT videos. From YT video - Ships do NOT go over any curve! Roy Gennotte 1 day ago Hi there, if the earth is flat, and it's starting to make sense to me the question to me...

The distortion you see is called "barrel distortion." https://www.google.com/search?q=barrel+distortion&rlz=1C1RNOG_enUS590US590&espv=2&biw=914&bih=464&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjX072C1JfOAhWM5SYKHQUWB7MQ_AUIBygC

Not to mention the ships on the clipper route: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_route#Variations Were they doing 80 knots?

It's understandable that people are having a hard time accepting that FE believers are "real." Without saying any more about this right now, look at the comments section to this video. You don't have to watch the video. Just carefully read the entire comments section. Here's just one...

Examples of how your line of sight relative to the sun affects the perceived angles of sun rays.

It's interesting to see that when the objects casting the shadows are small and close, the crepuscular rays they create are a "scale model" of those created by objects that are large and distant. The angular size of the objects casting the shadow simply have to match for the crepuscular rays to...

This is a good collection of photos that demonstrate how your position relative to the sun (behind you, looking straight into it, etc.), and your position relative to and distance from the object(s) casting the shadows affects what you see...

Another very mysterious UFO; this time in the skies over Los Angeles. Or is it a tangle of balloons that once spelled out "LOVE"? It is even "chased away" by an LAPD helicopter. Link to advertisement for such...

A slope?

As I understand it, this isn't even measuring the same thing as Rowbotham's formula was intended to do. I'm lifting David Ridlen's illustration from the Earth curvature refraction experiments thread - page 3...

Here's the comprehensive coverage. I don't think much commentary is necessary. This speaks for itself. Just one thing. Starting at 7:27: dmurphy25: The trolls and detractors will point out that because we were observing Matthew [the man in the kayak] from the bridge, we wouldn't see the 16...

Update: A follow-up story produced by Tom Coombes gives more details about the Chicago skyline "mirage." He talks about the difference between a mirage and looming: http://www.abc57.com/story/31830937/skyline-skepticism-the-lake-michigan-mirage A short lecture on atmospheric refraction and...
