If you have money you can pay the russians to let you go to International Space Station and see the roundness of the earth on your own eyes.

Uh, first spacewalk was actually done by Russians  Roll Eyes

Space race had to be one giant jewish lie, otherwise flat Earth theory would fall apart. Now, since first space rockets emerged from ballistic missiles those have to be made up too as they reach stratosphere before re-entering.

Nice to see you've cut down on the flying crap and insults.  Grin

However, this is what a mirage looks like:



Yes that's a mirage, but there are different types of mirages such as inferior mirages and superior mirages.
Please educate yourself on the subject before posting again. Thanks.  Cheesy


Superior mirage:




Inferior mirage:






Ok, so now that I've educated myself on the differences between superior and inferior mirages can you explain what type of mirage the following image is? Could it be that it is in fact not a mirage and the reason the city is visible at such a distance is because the Earth is flat?

Don't think this proves that the Earth is a spinning globe, it doesn't. It does however prove that I'm somewhat of a massive fool for just assuming the centripetal force would be a large value.  Cry

NASA and the rest of the establishment are a den of vipers. Their eggheads have however defiantly crunched all the numbers. I won't make the same mistake twice. Math is the only science you can be 100% sure of the results and I'm going to find a hole in their global conspiracy.

The Earth is flat!

'lili song' is the winner! (19jD5PfF5TqeF5xJWa5US2rM7GHVr5hdX) <-- 0.07 BTC

'jambola2' is the runner up. (1FRkoJDy8CwZ84RSeMs2tCEKBdVfHu32Ra) <-- 0.01 BTC

I decided not to be a cheap ass and reward the entire 0.08 BTC but, lili song's works sucks so jamola2 gets 0.01 BTC of her reward. Technically lili song posted while the reward was 0.01 BTC so consider yourself lucky.

Reduction in weight = Change in centripetal force = m(V^2)/r - m(v^2)/r =  84(464^2 - 0.8^2)/6,371,000 = 2.83861407

However, since centripetal force is in Newtons, this is in Newtons.
Converting it to mass equivalent with the number you gave (1 newton = 101.971621 grams)

2.83861407 Newtons * 101.971621 Grams per newton = 289.458078111 Grams heavier

Wait what really? So less?

Let's look at the equation of centripetal force again.
Let's calculate the total centripetal force for any person

Mass in kg * (velocity)^2 / Radius
84 KG * 464 * 464  / 6,371,000
The thing you notice is that the radius is so large it makes the speed look extremely tiny.

Quote
So you're saying that the force on an average person from being whipped around at 464 meters per second is 290.4 grams?  Cheesy There's a ride at PlayLand called the Gravitron, you should ride it sometime!

Also, the only velocities that should be used here are 464 m/s and 0.8 m/s. Where on Earth did you get 463.2 m/s from?

Yes it is so low!
The author of that response made a mistake (464^2 - 0.8^2) =/= (463.2^2) , but was correct for the rest.

I'm not sure if you're playing a prank on the forums, but that's what happens when something is inversely proportional to the radius of something, and that radius is HUGE.

The fact that someone noted that this was consistent with NASA calculations regarding weight at the poles hints that your idea is wrong.

Leaving margin for error, I can say with certainty that the weight of the average person will be approximately 826.59 Newtons. (YES, Google it. The SI unit of weight is Newton, not mass)
Or, to use your extremely weird scale of stating weights in mass equivalent, 84,289.46 grams. Can't vouch for accuracy, may vary between 84,280 and 84,300 grams.

And here's my address: 1FRkoJDy8CwZ84RSeMs2tCEKBdVfHu32Ra

Best attempt yet... but, I need some time to go over it and some sleep. If I can't poke any holes in it I'll send the 0.08 BTC.

EDIT:

Reviewing the other posts it looks like 'lili song' (19jD5PfF5TqeF5xJWa5US2rM7GHVr5hdX) may have beaten you to it especially with your margin of error...

                     Centripetal_force 1      =  centripetal_force 2
84,000 g * (464 m/2)^2 / 6,371,000 m = mass * (463.2 m/s)^2 / 6,371,000 m

mass = 84,290.4 g


Oh, my precious Bitcoins, this isn't looking good for me. 'lili song' did however post while the reward was 0.01 BTC.

I'm still going over the numbers...

Joint Assistant for Development and Execution (JADE) is a U.S. military system used for planning the deployment of military forces in crisis situations.

The U.S. military developed this automated planning software system in order to expedite the creation of the detailed planning needed to deploy military forces for a military operation. JADE uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology combining user input, a knowledge base of stored plans, and suggestions by the system to provide the ability to develop large-scale and complex plans in minimal time.

This would be true if the earth had no atmosphere. In reality due to atmospheric refraction, more of the ship would be visable to the observer in the lighthouse. How much light would be refracted would depend on air temperature, pressure and humidity.

So you see, light refraction allows us to see further round the earth than the maths says we can, NOT because the earth is flat.


That's so funny. Yeah I've heard of it before. Just goes along with all the assumptions people believe thanks to scientists. To believe in the sphere Earth you really have to believe a lot of assumptions based on scientists' studies.

And this is a "mirage"

Mirage of Chicago skyline seen from Michigan shoreline



Yes, correct this is a type of mirage. Because light waves are bent around the earth due refraction.
If the Earth was flat, light rays that bend down would soon hit the ground and only nearby objects would be affected making these types of mirages impossible.

I see you are finally coming round to understanding the Earth is round.  Smiley

Nice to see you've cut down on the flying crap and insults.  Grin

However, this is what a mirage looks like:

5693  Other / Off-topic / Re: Skill Testing Math Question -- 0.08 BTC Reward on: July 25, 2015, 06:12:43 PM
given:  if the equatorial velocity was slowed to 0.8 m/s?
Earth's radius at the equator: 6,371,000 m
Earth's velocity at the equator: 464 m/s
Average weight of a person: 84,000 g

formula: centripetal_force = mass * velocity^2 / radius

84,000 * (464-0.8/464)^2 / 6,371,000 = 2838.60141269 newtons
2838.60141269 *101.97 =  289452.186052 grams

this is my try Smiley
i think im missing something


a) The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.
b) You've only attempted to calculate part of the problem.
c) Other issues with the part you've attempted.

If you weighed 100 pounds at the north pole on a spring scale, at the equator you would weigh 99.65 pounds, or 5.5 ounces less.
we'll apply the calculation used to answer this skill testing question to the north pole as a test of its validity later...

84,000 * 9.79/0.00843823575 = 97456390.6916 grams. Grin

a) The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.
b) Where do you get '9.79' from?
c) Again, where do you get '0.00843823575' from?
d) How is the result of your calculation in grams and not newtons?
e) Many other issues.
