Let's hope they offer us a better setup than the tin foil and whatnot.
Maybe this time colleges or even university kids may knock up something a bit better than the schools did back then.
There's no hole being dug. This applies to all of us.Erm nope as you have just said if 2 people are arguing different viewpoints its up to one person to prove his own point of view and be able to verify themselves.
"When a person wants to argue with another, say me and you for instance, then you have to provide genuine realistic evidence that you can verify yourself to be able to stand up and offer as factual in confidence.
If you cannot do this and your reliance is based on appeals to authority then your argument offers you no more merit than what you're arguing against"
Your words, no one elses. But you keep digging that massive hole you have created for yourself
You have offered zero proof of anything except appeals to authority.
I can be classed in that bracket from your side. This is why the argument is ongoing because nobody offers direct proof that another will accept.
You and I can argue that we do but it comes down to whoever wishes to actually question whatever side of an argument as having more potential than another.
I'm 100% sure we do not live on a spinning globe in the space they tell us about.
Clear and simple experiments show me that. Simple logical observations show me that.
You disagree and that's why you're fully engrossed in the global system, which is fine by me because many are and that's the narrative most follow.
It's all good to watch. I used to watch Buck Rogers in the 25th century and star trek (the older version). And when I was a kid I actually watched lost in space. And so on.It’s all CGI and witchcraft. I’ll not waste any of my time watching that
Nothing wrong with watching sci-fi.
It's like a time travel film. They can offer your mind an "I wonder" but the reality is somewhat different.
Nothing wrong with people believing in things they can't verify to be real or not. It's all down to each individual to decide in whatever way they see fit.

This one :-
Modern flat Earth belief originated with the English writer

titled Zetetic Astronomy, writing under the pseudonym "Parallax". He later expanded this into the book Earth Not a Globe, proposing the Earth is a flat disc centred at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, . Rowbotham further held that the and were 3,000 miles (4,800 km) above Earth and that the "cosmos" was 3,100 miles (5,000 km) above the Earth. He also published a leaflet titled The Inconsistency of Modern Astronomy and its Opposition to the Scriptures, which argued that the ", alongside our senses, supported the idea that the earth was flat and immovable and this essential truth should not be set aside for a system based solely on human conjecture".

And what does it say about a parabola and measurement?

Do your own research clownshoe - I am not going to spoon feed you stuff to disagree with by typing a load of bollocks. The book mentioned above is a load of old drivel anyway be right up your street

His favourite past time is writing bollocks and believing nonsense whilst thinking he's the smartest man alive and that everyone else to a man is thick or hasn't thought for themselves. He's a maniac.
To maintain belief in the face of overwhelming contrary, publicly available empirical evidence accumulated in the

out of the necessity of explaining why major institutions such as governments, media outlets, schools, scientists, and airlines all assert that the world is a sphere. They tend to not trust observations they have not made themselves, and often distrust or disagree with each other.

Ok, but you did offer it. Anyway, no probs.

No I didn't I was answering your question you plank - "What book from 200 years ago describes a parabola?". You seem confused about everything on this thread and shocked that the Parabolic equation (a form of quadratic equation) was mentioned 200 years ago when it was solved by the ancient greeks a few years before that.

what is a quadratic equation? can you explain it in your own words without reference to authority?

The Earth as shown from supposed space is a ball. It's a globe as shown.
Tell me about this parabola and how it works on this globe we are shown.

Aye, and how does this equate to a ball?
I don't think it's possible for you to miss the point by any wider margin
Did you attend school? At all?

Steady on that's looking like gravity and we know that doesn't exist, so that's your parabola dismissed

Any idea?
Any idea why you use a parabola for a line of sight over a ball as I'm explaining with the 8 inches per mile squared?
I know the point he is making and you are missing, but you need to figure it out yourself, you can't be relying on what I say can you?
