RE: Flat Earth - Jesse Kozlowski Lake Pontchartrain Soundly Marriot photo - responding to a comment on my last video.

in #flatearth6 years ago (edited)

I'm not disputing the numbers. And your video says that it's not consistent with the globe when you actually proved that it very much IS consistent with the globe. Even on your youtube video, everyone is commenting that you proved the flat earth, because they are AGREEING with you, when that is not what it shows at all! It is perfectly consistent with the globe with a small amount of refraction.

So you EITHER have to admit that refraction exists (it does) or that you somehow proved the earth is a globe, but 1-2% larger than scientists state! You simply CANNOT deny that is obvious curvature EVEN if you completely deny refraction, since it is completely inconsistent with a flat earth... as your video PROVES.

Since we have known about refraction for thousands of years, and we have been measuring it for several hundred, and all the photographers who take those long distance images say they got them in positive refractive conditions, and even the Chicago Skyline image was PREDICTED on television the night before with the weatherman actually showing the public what the conditions looked like that were likely to cause refractive conditions, I think the former is the most likely, don't you? Refraction exists. I don't know why you have this issue with refraction.

Here's the video of the Chicago Skyline newscast the night before the notorious skyline image was taken predicting refractive conditions.

Here is a comment from one of the photographers on the long distance photography website.

I don't deny that refraction exists but I question the mechanics of it as it pertains to a globe. I can't help if people interpret this as proof of a flat Earth, it was never suggested and I tried to be intellectually honest by stating that what we see is not possible on a flat Earth either, without refraction of course. Anyway, since you seem to understand refraction so well, maybe you could show me or make a simple diagram explaining the downward curve of light over a bulge of water?

Not sure what you are questioning about refraction. It's quite well studied and you could just... well... look up why that happens.

you want you to post more beautiful, so that we can all see and you can vote a lot
