It might just be possible to measure the temperature of the moon, especially at full moon if you have a sufficiently narrow antenna beam.scott wurcer said:I did take a little 1.2GHz Yagi outside and point it at the sun, pretty sizeable change in received noise.
sufficiently narrow antenna beam.
Amazing, time for a real science break.

Actually, I'm afraid that's the reason why we got stuck with the flat earthers in the first place..By locked room, I was thinking maybe "space ark" in the way of Douglas Adams:

time for a real science break
The mirrors for the opto-mechanical part of scuba-2 were developed/manufactured in these parts.
To obtain the desired accuracy for shape & roughness, nearby roads had to be closed during the manufacture.
Is there a flat earth explanation for long path shortwave radio signals, you know the ones that are 180 degrees off from what you expect? If there was, I missed it ....

I have not seen much mention of radio in the flat earth texts. The classic texts predate radio, perhaps later ones mention it.
Well I moved a mountain today. Progress was made.
He was taking the 8"/mile squared to literally. What I mean is he wasn't taking height into consideration. For example a lighthouse was visible from 20 miles out, he was just subtracting the lighthouse height from the end number of 266' obscured. Since the height of the lighthouse is 182' the obscured height is really only 7' 20 miles out. Then there is refraction. Anyway I got him thinking and so he messaged one of the alpha flat earth members and he had a meltdown about it. My buddy said he is starting to believe me after a lot of math and illustrations.

So you took someone who was (presumably) content in his belief, and caused him to have a meltdown? Why?Anyway I got him thinking and so he messaged one of the alpha flat earth members and he had a meltdown about it. My buddy said he is starting to believe me after a lot of math and illustrations.
School lessons, airplane flights, pictures from space.....just how do these people get convinced that the earth is flat ?.
Ditto, same as those who believe that the earth is hollow and that there are underground alien bases....
Search on YouTube and there is no end of long videos 'proving' that the above are true.

The prediction is so true. It has gone a notch higher 'Great wall of culture': China is making its own version of Wikipedia | WIRED UKI stumbled across this TED Talks last night that deep dove into the world of astroturfing:

According to Sharyl Attkisson we're awash in contracted and intentional misrepresentations benefiting special interests. Political and commercial interests flood the Internet with targeted propaganda. Even Wikipedia, for example, for a fee apparently allows articles to be directly controlled by the subject, essentially turning them into online advertisements. It seems plausible at some level people - nurtured from birth by the 15 minutes of dissembling and obscurantism per TV broadcast hour - are suspending trust in mainstream messaging, opening up opportunities for other 'certainties'.
Flat earthers may be a consequence of the tragedy of the commons afflicting honesty in society....

Twitch.tv, Earthcam, Facebook Live and doubtless scores of other real time Internet resources provide constant evidence for the smooth transition of day and night across our 'so-called' globe. The conspiracy must go deep. Very, very deep. 😉
One wonders that if the globular earth is a conspiracy who started it, when and mostly who is benefiting and how?
acceleration =9.8m/s
365 days/year
24 hrs/day
60 minutes/hour
60 sec/min
V=1/2AT^2
V= 1/2 * 9.8 * (365*24*60*60)^2 = 4.873e15
speed of light in vacuum is 3e8 M/s
4.873e15/3e8 =16million times the speed of light in one year.
And they haven't figured out if the flat earth theory will violate the speed of light?

Can't they just put offer those that are convinced - about the earth being flat - in an orbit round the earth?
If they then still complain about animations or distortion of the lenses (windows), put them outside...

Who had the meltdown?
School lessons, airplane flights, pictures from space.....just how do these people get convinced that the earth is flat ?
- School lessons: They might not agree with what your parents teach you.
- Airplane flights: Only show how flat the Earth looks. Hardly proof.
- Pictures from space: Ever watched a sci-fi movie? Plenty of beautiful pictures of planets that don't exist.
acceleration =9.8m/s
Acceleration is increase in speed per second, m/s per second, m/s.s
AT^2 = m/s.s times s^2 = m
1/2 AT^2 is the travelled distance, for a zero speed at T=0
V = A.T (for V=0 at T=0)

Richard C Hoagland the proprietor of this site is described as a conspiracy theorist and fringe pseudoscientist by by others and as "a unique mixture of amateur scientist, genius inventor, scam artist, and performer, blending true, legitimate speculative science with his own extrapolations, tall tales, and inflations." by the publisher of his books.
Mr Hoagland received the Ig Nobel Prize for Astronomy in 1997 for 'identifying artificial structures on Moon and Mars including a face on Mars and ten-mile high buildings on the other side of the moon'.
The presentation of these traditionally ends with the sentence "If you didn't win a prize but especially if you did: Better luck next year!".
