^ I believe that the distance to the Sun can be calculated from measured and known values, that doesn't make me a liar. Me trying to prove that it can be calculated isn't proof I'm a liar. What kind of sick bastard are you?

BADecker, he's a different kind of sick bastard. He want to force an assumption of either flat or ball before the calculation starts. I'll make no such assumption.







The Sun's un-refracted size (refraction removed) at sunset or sunrise when the Sun is at 50% visible (zero degrees) is 1 minute (resolution limit of 1 foot @ 1/2 nautical miles). The Sun's refracted height at sunset or sunrise when the Sun is at 50% visible is 16 minuets. The Sun's un-refracted diameter at 90 degrees is 32 minuets.

If our eye height above the plain is 1 foot then the horizon is 1 nautical mile away given a resolution limit of 1 minute. Given the ratio of 1 minute per nautical mile the Sun measures 32 nautical miles across when not affected by refraction.

So we know the Sun's radius is 16 nautical miles so it's distance according to the trigonometry calculator should be ~3440 nautical miles.

This is where I'm currently at.

Stop twisting the words. Its not you trying to calculate it what makes you a liar, its you CLAIMING to know that the distance to the sun is 3000 miles because, again, you just admitted to not know it. You also just said you "believe" but you call us out because we believe scientists. Somehow you think believing randoms on youtube is better than well known scientists

Now you know more than Einstein, eh? You seem to be claiming that you do. You even quoted a post of mine in your post at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114009.msg51612730#msg51612730, where I showed you that Einstein, himself, acknowledged the aether, and essentially said that it filled all of space.

I know. It's fun contradicting yourself on a continual basis, right? But it isn't really fun watching you essentially destroy yourself. So I have to pity whatever kind of doofus you really are.

Cool

Yes and then he came up with relativity and said he could NOT prove the existence of aether which was shown in my post above, your alzheimers is getting worse. Bottom line is, even if aether was real, its still science, nothing to do with religion here, again proving religion to be totally useless when it comes to technological development.

All you are saying is that one of the great high priests of the science religion (Einstein) has contradicted himself sufficiently enough that no sane person would ever want to accept science... if he wants to remain sane, that is.

Since that is the way you feel about science, no wonder you are having trouble figuring out the relationship between science and religion.

Cool

EDIT: Btw, Alzheimer is a name. So it should be capitalized. When you don't place the apostrophe before the "s" - Alzheimers - you are simply talking about more than one person, whose names are "Alzheimer." If you mean the disease, it's written "Alzheimer's," short for "Alzheimer's disease." Do I have to explain everything to you?

And thats exactly why Einstein was a genius and you aren't. He can admit when he is wrong, he is not contradicting himself. You on the other hand will NEVER ever admit when you are wrong, even when you linked an article that was mocking creationists as evidence for creationism lol, do you remember that one?


But Einstein wasn't wrong about the fact that the aether exists. But if he said he was wrong, where? And what does his being right or wrong about something have to do with science and religion?

You still haven't showed where Einstein has contradicted himself, although you essentially said it in a previous post, shown above. Humor me, and repeat what you are talking about regarding this.

It seems that you like to continually mix things up just to attempt to prove me wrong in something. Your raging and scoffing remind me of what Solomon said, Proverbs 29:9:
If a wise person goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.

Cool

Exactly, whether he was right or wrong does not even matter because he was using science and the scientific method to determine those concepts, not the bible. You still havent shown anyone using something in the bible to invent something. Bible is useless, even for morals as it contains laws supporting slavery or even rape or murder.

I believe the Earth is flat because it is flat,
I believe the Earth does not move because it does not move,
I believe the Sun is in motion because it is in motion and,
I believe the lights in sky are lights in the sky because they are lights in the sky.

The man in the small hat says he can weigh the red light in sky with heavy balls in a garden shed.

Well at least the man in the small hat DID an experiment, you on the other hand admitted to just believe what others tell you and we are still waiting for your final calculations. Where are they? Did you realize they were totally wrong hahaha what a fucking liar.

What have I lied about? You're taking the fact I lack a complete understanding of some technical detail as evidence that I'm being dishonest. You're a fucking asshole.

I'm analyzing how the atmospheric plane works as I'm gauging the Sun's distance at the point of maximum refractive magnification. I'm doing this because the Sun needs an object to be measured against; the horizon vanishing line. The horizon is at 90 degrees to the observers eye level thus it is the standard used to measure (with a sextant) the Sun is the measured (with a tape measure) height of the observer and the resolution limit (1 minute) of the eye.

Now without being able to explain and prove how the refractive magnification caused by the atmospheric plane works I can't account for it (i.e. remove it mathematically) while calculating its size from the measured value. This is where I'm currently at in my "calculation".



Events:

An idiot (you) sees somr FE threads and youtube videos and starts believing them

The idiot then creates a thread about it claiming he knows for sure the earth is flat and that we are all idiots because we simply believe things.

The idiot is then confronted about the math involved and admits he actually doesnt know jackshit

Where is the lie? Claiming to know the distance to the sun without ever calculating it before.

Conclusion: notbatman is a liar.

Do they ignore it? They don't ignore it, Einstein himself talked about Aether, for example, newton too, they simply couldn't really prove it, right now there are scientists still working on it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_aether_theory but it just doesn't have enough evidence behind it to be the accepted theory, it's not because scientists ''ignore it'' lol.


 ''In physics, aether theories (also known as ether theories) propose the existence of a medium, a space-filling substance or field, thought to be necessary as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces. Since the development of special relativity, theories using a substantial aether fell out of use in modern physics, and are now joined by more abstract models''


Since it is empty space that contains aether, and since such empty space fills all the volume of every atom (outside of the tiny volume of the nucleus and electrons), The aether is all over the place. Why is not the aether the priority focus of essentially every scientist, since it is the "substance" that fills all things way more than matter and energy?

What are you really trying to say about scientists? That they are stupid? That they can't even figure out what is important? Or maybe, that they have something to hide, right?

Just because their focus is directed at matter and energy things by their teachers, one would think that many of them would realize that the "substance" of empty space is the most important thing of all, since it holds everything else.

The point? They are ignoring the aether. Oh, sure. A few of them dabble in it. But essentially they are ignoring it.

Cool

I just told you there is not enough evidence for it and you come here claiming that aether IS this or that, how the fuck do you know what aether is or if it exists at all? Are you trying to say you are smarter than scientists and somehow always know things they dont but with 0 evidence provided? Maybe you are god.

Show me the fucking money!

Look at it this way. Find a piece of flat land somewhere, say, Kansas. Now, you will have to prepare this ahead of time.

Pick a spot where you know the sun will be directly overhead, say, at about noon. Since the sun travels in an east-west direction, get somebody to stand 16 nm east of the spot where the sun will be directly overhead, and get another person to stand 16 nm directly west of the spot. Stand them so that if you draw a straight line between the two people, the line would pass through the spot where the sun is directly overhead, and this spot would be right in the middle of the line, kinda like this >>> ·+· . (The two dots are the people. The vertical line shows the center of the horizontal distance the people are apart. The intersect is where the sun is directly overhead.)

If the two people look straight up, they should each be looking directly at opposite edges of the sun. But they aren't. Even transits or telescopes will show that they are still looking at the center of the sun. This means that the sun must be far wider than you suggest, or that there is some contradiction in you calculations somewhere.

Because of the size of the earth, any atmospheric distortion would be too small to notice looking straight up. Perspective isn't included, because the guys are looking directly at the sun, even with the telescopes, not at some width where they need to focus perspectively.

Cool

   I've already considered this scenario, no dice. The Sun is ~32 miles wide and the observers need to be farther than that apart. At that distance+ the question of whether the earth is flat or curves at 8" per mile^2 becomes an issue, and the globalist will start injecting the refraction is bending the light around the globe argument. The globalist (with a small hat) will kick the can so far down the road posing one augment after another for why the Earth is actually bent, that he's able to muddy the water while wasting time and effort and completely shut it down.

After much analysis I've come to realize that the plane where the Sun's light is refracted is well, a plain; a level layer of dense gas. This (the plane) and the linear refractive magnifying effect is why the one minute per nautical mile applies to celestial objects. The fact there's zero refraction at 90 degrees allows for the Sun's true diameter to be measured.

...
Show me the fucking money!

Exactly, you are trying to prove it but havent done so how do you know if you havent proved it yet? Did you just beljeve it or what?

You might want to check the last 773 pages, I'm fairly sure you'll find I've posted some valid reasons on why the Copernican model is a crock of shit.

Even if it was true and you presented valid reasons against the copernical model, you still cant use that as evidence FOR the flat earth. Thats an argument from ignorance. You already admitted to be a liar.

^^^ Fuck, like you've ever measured and calculated the distance to sun yourself and got 93,000,000 miles? Everybody just trusts the fucking liars at NASA to provide factual information.

There's enough information from the angular measurements and the known distance to the horizon to make the calculation, I just need to figure it out.

Yes my first attempt was horrific, very horrific, but I'm including the apparent size this time and I think I'm getting closer... The only value I'm assuming is correct is the angular size limit of the eye, and considering the nautical mile is based on this value, and that I have peer reviewed documentation it's not really much of an assumption.

It's simply a matter of time before I derive the correct equations and they give constant results with variable inputs. Yes I believe the 32 mile diameter and 3,100 mile distance values are correct but I'm actually trying to prove it. You just go with whatever your told by the men in small hats and never question any of it.



Again admitting that all along you simply believed what other youtubers told you and yet you have been claiming to know it's close to us. You are a liar, exposing yourself at this point basically. Yes you believe those values are correct but why? What made you believe that? The youtubers?

''You just go with whatever your told by the men in small hats and never question any of it.'' And you just go with what youtubers tell you and never calculate or experiment for yourself, LOL.

We are trying to make people aware of the damage caused by vaccination, but so many people believe the false figures pushed by big pharma, that it is an uphill struggle. America is the most heavily vaccinated country in the world, and it has the worst health of any developed nation. It also has the highest medical costs to attempt to cope with the damage caused by pharmaceuticals and vaccination.

Can you link real figures then? I'm sorry but vaccines have been proven to work, they have stopped terrible diseases, yes, vaccines have side effects just like any other drug/medicine, however the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Vaccines have NOT been proven to work. All that has been proven is that something worked. It might have been the life cycle of the "bug in question." But the timing made it look like it was the vaccine.

However, even if vaccines work, get vaccinated for one thing, and then wait for years, letting the immune system purge the vaccine poisons, before you get another. Getting loads of vaccines at once simply weakens the immune system, making you vulnerable to all kinds of stuff. In addition, there are loads of side effects that will show up later.

Cool

You know what's funny, if you apply the same argument against miracles, you wouldn't agree.

As I explained several times, scientific theories are like crimes. How do you solve a crime? You can't go back in time and if it's not recorded, how can you make sure who did it? Well, you look at the evidence and when you find the DNA of the killer on the scene and the victim, the weapon in his house with his fingerprints, his motive, witnesses that saw him at the time of the crime around the area of the crime, etc, you can be pretty sure he did it but are you 100% totally sure? Never but it's more than enough to go to jail, same thing with scientific theories.

But that isn't the point.

The point revolves around the science that scientists want to accept. People like the clear way Einstein stated Relativity. So they ignore aether theory, micro gravitation theory, electric universe theory, and a whole lot of theories that might even be better at explaining things than Relativity. It's a personal preference. And for those who aren't studied in, say, Relativity, they simply get on board because of the popularity of a scientist who pushes a popular theory. The theory, itself, might be worse than a whole bunch of other theories, or some science that is not even a theory, but the choice is made for reasons other than the science involved.

Take Dawkins and evolution. Dawkins might be a bit of an evolution scientist. But he is mostly a popular mouth that says all kinds of things he can't scientifically back up. And he even admits this in his books.

Many forensic cases are being overturned because forensic science isn't accurate AND because it wasn't really followed anyway. Yet there was a guilty verdict because the jury trusted the forensic people.

The only reason a person goes to prison for a crime like you explained above is, he doesn't have enough sense to stand up for his rights. So, he volunteered for prison. Almost never will circumstantial evidence convict a person who firmly demands his rights: witness and conclusive evidence. OJ Simpson is an example of this.

^^^ Yeah I'm sure you'll say anything to make people believe that only NASA or a Jesuit trained astronomer can calculate the distance to the Sun.

Distance to the horizon and the Sun's elevation in degrees above the horizon is enough information (maybe) for anybody to make the calculation. If not the addition of the Sun's apparent size and possibly another object of known distance and size will fill the gap.

At this point I'm making an attempt, my calc for "A" may need work but the distance is 3 miles for a 6 foot person so I'll check that formula over later.

In a way, these posts are already an admission that you simply believed other people until now, you should have done these calculations long ago, no? You have been claiming the sun is 3068 miles away several times but it turns out that you have never done the calc?

Measurable facts are science dogma, even though they don't fit the dogma of formal religion. Why? Because they are things that can't be changed. Do a science experiment exactly the same way every time, and you get exactly the same results every time. Science dogma is even stronger than religious dogma.

There are many science theories that are popular, but haven't been proven one way or another, yet remain theories. So, it is the decision of scientists whether or not they will drop a theory from being such.

Cool

No you don't necessarily get the same result every time. Schrodinger's cat can testify to this. Also, it is true that many science theories haven't been proven one way or the other. Although most theories have substantial evidence to back them up. (For instance, the predictions given by the Theory of General Relativity keep testing out as true.)  That is why they are called "theories."

All scientific theories have susbtantial evidence behind them, thats why they are scientific theories. Badecker thinks that only "facts" matter but in science and in anything a 100% fact simply does not exist.

So you think that it's a 100% fact that 100% facts don't exist?

Regarding Schrodinger's cat, the whole idea is to look at things that might go beyond, even, relativity. It's an area of random in the sense of the unknown, not in the sense of spontaneity. So, it isn't being done the same every time. Rather it is being done differently every time. Consider that as the earth turns, and revolves around the sun, and the sun moves through space, that the location is different. So nothing is the same.

Even Einstein showed that Relativity only worked with things of Relativity. Many people think that he didn't accept the ether. But all that he did was to reject the ether as operating in the same sphere of universal influence as Relativity:
...

Recapitulating, we may say that according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense. But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be applied to it.

In other words, science theories exist in their sphere of existence. But the complexity of all nature keeps us from understanding many connections between many theories, which connections render the theories in ways that are not part of the theories.

Cool

Obviously big pharma doesnt have the best reputation but vaccines have been proven to not cause autism. "Researchers now link falling immunization rates to recent resurgences of vaccine-preventable diseases. In 2010, California saw 9,120 cases of whooping cough, more than any year since the whooping cough vaccine was introduced in the 1940s. Ten infants too young to be vaccinated died of whooping cough during the outbreak. The CDC warns that events like these will become more frequent and harder to control if vaccination rates continue to fall"

The tech companies have not quite gotten this bad -- it appears they are moving in this direction -- a company may ban all speech except those derogatory to a certain group of political ideology (or in favor of that groups competitor), and claim the content on their platform is user generated and as such exempt from libel liability. I do not think this is what was intended when section 230 was drafted, I believe the intention was to allow for competing ideas to be published.   

It has been happening since trump got elected, youtube/google, facebook or twitter. All of those are banning people that support trump, youtube is clearly demonetizing trump supporters and conservatives, they are not even hiding it at this point, its blatantly there.

Sure you can. It is simple trigonometry. Given the either the distance or the size, it is easy to compute the other.

As for calculating the effect of refraction, I meant this: "Given the angle above the horizon and the distance, what is the amount of magnification?"
You don't know either the actual size or the distance! ...

In your diagram you label the sun's diameter as 32 nautical miles (nm) how do you know this? How do you know that the 1 nautical mile per 1 minute applies to the 32 minuets you measured the sun at?

You have said many times that the sun is 32 nm wide because it is 32 minutes wide and 1 minute is 1 nm. I'm using your numbers. Now you say it isn't 32 nm wide?

... Hold a dime at arms length and it's size is 32 minuets wide, does that mean it's 3,000 miles away? Fuck no! ...

A dime is 18 mm wide, so if it is 32 minutes wide, it is 0.018 / 2 / tan(0.533 / 2) = 1.9 meters away.




At this point im reconsidering the possibility of notbatman trolling us. He is literally contradicting himself and in the other post he said something like he passed out from calculating too much, sounded pretty trollish.
