Introduction

Dear Visitors,                                                                                                                                    April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim.  Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat.  That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

Mike Helmick - taking apples for oranges #2


Dear Mike Helmick,

More bad science and flat Earth talking points do not add validity to your flat Earth assertions...  

- - - 

Contrary to your claims, as evident by the voice over recognition of YOUR statement (see shaded block), you did say 73 percent several times, not zero point 73 as you claim...

Your exact words were, "that up very noticeable 73% very noticeable and..." 

Then you used the 73% value to claim that distortion explains the curvature effect of the other photos.

Fact check 1 = You FAIL, since that whole line of thinking and subsequent conclusions regarding lens distortion is wrong.   

Fact check 2 = You FAIL, since you did say 73 percent, and used that 73% as an explanation several times the video.

You should recheck you prior video at time mark 11:03

There are a total of 24 block structures alongside of I10 going north.  Here are just a few pictures of the lot.  Notice in the lower right corner of each photo a listing for latitude and longitude.  Since that is different from photo to photo, we can be sure what each picture is of a different block structure.

So here now is the original Soundly photo of those block structures.

Fact check 3 = You FAIL, because lens distortion does not cause an image to curve downward ONLY as you claim.  

Here is an explanation of the different types of lens distortion...


   2017-06-12_12-19-01.png

 
None of the Soundly photos show that effect.

Fact check 4 = you FAIL, because perspective does not account for subsequent blocks curving downward following the curvature of the Earth.  With perspective, all objects above the horizon will forever be above the horizon.  However, objects will get smaller and smaller.

At the starting line:


   2017-06-12_21-00-13.png


At 1-meter down the line, there are two tennis balls and one ping pong ball (there is a flashlight behind it for illumination):


   2017-06-12_21-04-36.png

 

At 2-meters, a tennis ball and a rubber ball:

 

   2017-06-12_21-06-08.png

 

 At 3-meters, a tennis ball, a ping pong ball (there is a flashlight behind it for illumination), and a rubber ball:

 

   2017-06-12_21-07-16.png


So this now is perspective:

Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYVYa3BdI84


1. Notice that ALL Objects remain ABOVE the flat plane of the carpet.

2. Notice that ALL objects appear to be smaller (in angular size) the father away from the starting line they are.

3. Notice that ALL objects remain in a straight line. each behind itself.

So PERSPECTIVE IS NOT at all what were are seeing here...

Fact check 5 = you FAIL, because atmospheric REFRACTION does not account for our seeing ONLY 7 of the 24 block structures on the bridge. 

The effect of refraction depends on atmospheric conditions (pressure, temperature, relative humidity) and on the wavelength. For mean conditions (P=1010 hPa, T=10°C, yellow light) the refraction R is calculated by Saemundsson'sformula (Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms):

   at the horizon.png

So due to the density of the Earth's atmosphere, the maximum refraction of any object on the Earth's horizon, is only 35-arc minutes, or 1/2 of a degree.

That is the apparent angular size of our Sun as it rests on the horizon.

Fact check 6 = You FAIL, because this cannot account for the 17 concrete blocks missing from the Soundly video and pictures. 


- - -

Fact check 7 = you FAIL, because nether an INFERIOR or SUPERIOR mirage is present IN ANY frames of the video or photos presently by Soundly

Fact check 8 = You FAIL, for pretending to portray science accurately when all you say is wrong.  


Conclusion: Get a new life and try something else.
