High school experiment to find the distance to the moon.

Posting in a shill thread.

OP hasn't done the experiment himself and nobody here has the resources to do it either.

But yet OP says it's "basic" as if anybody can just casually do it on a whim.

Retarded dipshits.

lol, total and utter bullshit - you are a dismal pathetic failure at understanding what you are trying to talk about - ROFL

The curvature in that picture is visible and measurable because the basketball is a sphere.

If the photographer zoomed in a little more the horizon would disappear altogether and the ball would not even be visible.

That is a disingenuous photo that only serves to convince those who are eager to satisfy their confirmation bias.

Notice that the camera is pointed down towards the ball as if it were a picture taken from the sky rather than a straight forward shot from a 90 degree angle as it would be if a tiny person was standing on top of the ball.

This was done for a reason. Maybe he tried it from a more human perspective but it did not yield the results that he desired?

Curvature is non existent when a picture is taken looking straight down at a 90 degree angle of a spherical object. All that is visible from that perspective is a circle. The steeper the angle of the shot, the less curvature is visible.

The angle and zoom were set just the way they are in order to minimize any visible curvature but none the less it is still visible and it is still there.

I would expect nothing less from a Redditor.

Also notice how quickly the horizon drops off and how very little of the ball you can see in the distance. If I zoom my camera on the ocean the horizon doesn't drop off and disappear, I simply see more flat water.

I see maybe 4 rows of dots on the ball. What does that equate to in MMs? I don't have a ball handy to measure but I would guess 3 or 4 MMs.

Where is the rest of the ball? You can't see it because it drops off because it is a sphere.

I noticed there has been no comment on my statements about light rays and how they are affected by different kinds of lenses.

Just because there's things flying in the sky doesn't mean the earth is a globe.

My god you people are the stupidest fucking worthless sacks of shit imaginable.

I didn't cherry pick anything. I am simply stating scientific facts that do not match up with the claims of the scientific establishment.

I don't have any experts, I am the expert. I don't have a leader, I am my own leader.

I don't post memes and copy paste from websites. I explain everything in my own words based upon my own provable knowledge.

I am not a flat earther, if there is such a thing as that.

I did not demand information, I supplied information.

I don't claim any high ground, I am stating facts that are easily verifiable without needing thousand of dollars worth of special equipment or having to rely on government sources or photographs taken by strangers that are posted on the web.

I already presented the evidence, known and easily verifiable science is what I am talking about. If you don't understand how lenses work then look it up. No one is going to disagree with me about how concave and convex lenses affect light.

This really is a high school experiment. Just go and buy a $5 magnifying glass and go and burn some grass with the convex lens that is in it that causes the rays of the sun to converge and create a hot spot.

Go get your boosters retard globers

Another simple experiment is triangulation or parallax. The moon diameter or distance can easily be found by simultaneously observing from multiple locations of a known distance. The further the distance the more accurate the calculation.

It's a high school experiment that no high schooler and very few if any high schools have the equipment to perform.

This thread is probably boxed up so no one can see it anyways but whatever.

anytime you want to send a high altitude balloon up to see the footage first hand your welcome to join "Mrcoolone".

lol. Talk about being a hypocrit. At least I know all you are is a "copy and paster".

Congrats for measuring the height of the firmament btw. Although that information has been out there for a while.

... bounced waves from the Moon.

I already offered mrcoolone the opportunity to join me, send a high altitude balloon up to 130 thousand feet with a standard lens.

Then we look at the footage after.

Of course he doesnt want to because it takes a giant dump on every single video where they show you a curve at 70k feet saying "wow look at the curve"

Especially the ones from an airplane. Because that means even though theyre showing you a curve with their fish eye lens, what their seeing with their own 2 eyes is flat. So they are just blatantly lying about what they see.

Good luck explaining away the reason why theyre lying to your face.

all you have to do is ask a flat earther to show you how a lunar eclipse on a flat earth is even possible

Ie the earth passing between the sun and the moon. They can't and won't even attempt to do it
prove me wrong. I'll wait

They would blow a fuse over the math alone, but I'm hoping the fact it's a high school experiment might penetrate that mental ice wall of FE thinking.

Look at a basketball, does it slope down on the sides? No matter what angle you look at it from you will see a high spot in the middle and it will slope downward on either side.
