https://flatearth.ws/t/miroslaw-hermaszewski It's a joke at the end of the interview. Earlier in the interview he says earth is sphere.

Igor Volk

The entire interview is done through 2 way translation, making closed captioning auto translation basically impossible. I figured out that the clip in question is at the very end of the interview. They're smiling and joking, it's obvious. The entire interview is about space. Someday I'll translate it.

Previously classified documents on flat earth

They're engineering tradeoffs. They're mostly super old because their computers sucked.

And all of them acknowledge gravity. Some account for rotation or centrifugal force of the earth.

HELIOS

HELIOS laser anti missile system has a range of 5 miles. The rail gun anti missile system has a range of 100 miles, which i believe it's what he's referring to.

One is made by Lockheed, the other BAE.

Witsit describes the electric universe. This video basically asks all the questions I've been asking https://youtu.be/T9q-v4lBGuw

No models No quantitative predictions Weight in a faraday cage


Planets

Discovery of Neptune

Discovery of Neptune based on irregularity in Uranus orbit shows Newtonian physics is predictive

Questions

  • Why can we see Venus from the dark side of earth when its orbit is smaller?

Horrocs Transit of Venus, 1639

Phases of Venus

We never see the full face of Venus, and what we do see changes. Venus is perpetually ahead of us in orbit.

Russian Venera Missions

8 lands on Venus. Photos look real and couldn't be cgi from the 1975. https://www.planetary.org/articles/every-picture-from-venus-surface-ever


North Star

Thuban

The Egyptians didn't use Polaris as the north star, they used Thuban, based on orientation of the great pyramid and light shafts

Polaris and the personal dome

The 12,000 km personal dome. Find the edge of where you can see Polaris, then move and show it is gone. If it goes over the horizon versus just disappearing in the sky, the personal dome is bs.

Southern cross

If using the southern cross is a valid navigation technique for south, how does it move all around the pizza depending on your longitude?


Sun

Why does the sun never change size if it's close? Why doesn't it get hotter with altitude if the sun is close?

Solar orbit daytime shift

we should be in darkness at noon on the winter solstice

Rather than looking at 4 points on the orbit, imagine each day. Draw it out on paper. 24 hours is the amount of time for the sun to be in the same horizontal position in the sky (noon). This already includes the angle change along the slightly elliptical (nearly circular) orbit path.

And hours, minutes and seconds are all manmade instruments to measure this exact phenomenon\

Solar observed radius arcseconds

https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03932

The solar diameter has been monitored at the Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy (today the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada: ROA) almost continuously since its creation in 1753 (i.e. during the last quarter of a millennium). After a painstaking effort to collect data in the historical archive of this institution, we present here the data of the solar semidiameter from 1773 to 2006, making up an extensive new database for solar-radius measurements can be considered. We have calculated the solar semidiameter from the transit times registered by the observers (except values of the solar radius from the modern Danjon astrolabe, which were published by ROA). These data were analysed to reveal any significant long-term trends, but no such trends were found. Therefore, the data sample confirms the constancy of the solar diameter during the last quarter of a millennium (approximately) within instrumental and methodological limits. Moreover, no relationship between solar radius and the new sunspot-number index has been found from measurements of the ROA. Finally, the mean value for solar semidiameter (with one standard deviation) calculated from the observations made in the ROA (1773-2006), after applying corrections by refraction and diffraction, is equal to 958.87" +/- 1.77"

Your naked eye can see objects of any size, if they emit or scatter enough light to trigger its detector cells. Light visible from the star Deneb covers a minuscule fraction of your visual field (its ‘angular diameter’ is 0.0024 arcseconds). A light-emitting object seen as the same size when 15cm from your face, would be 1.75 nanometres wide. That’s only about 10 times the width of an atom of gold! And you can ‘see’ smoke and fog, even when their constituent particles are too small to pick out.

What is limited is the eye’s resolution: how close two objects can become before they blur into one. At absolute best, humans can resolve two lines about 0.01 degrees apart: a 0.026mm gap, 15cm from your face. In practice, objects 0.04mm wide (the width of a fine human hair) are just distinguishable by good eyes, objects 0.02mm wide are not.

Sun Speed

Why does the speed of the sun through the sky not increase in the southern hemisphere in a flat model? The circle is huge. The angular velocity should be observably different.

Sun rotation in southern sky

The sun rotates the other way in Antarctica than it does at the North pole. Clockwise versus counterclockwise. Just like the stars.


About

I'm just a guy who was told about flat earth, looked into it, and decided after a lot of thought that it's a ball. This site is a catalog of all the topics I looked into.
