Nobody expects the inquisition, that's the beauty of it.

Kind of an odd comment - are you planning on killing yourself as all your creationist science dies?

With regard to the horizon, there are two horizons to be considered when measuring distance. These are the exact opposite horizons from the location where one is standing. When both of these are used with each other to measure distance to the sun, the distance and angle is shown to be slightly different than between you and one of them... when you use the sextant.

If you consider the earth flat, the distances from where you are standing could be thousands of miles apart, rather than the measly few that people see regarding GE horizons... even with all the distorted perspective science that you use. This would make sun distance more accurately measurable on FE than on GE. But the distance would be far further away that you or the sextant suggest.

Using satellite or satellite/earth triangulation, or triangulation between the earth at different times of the year (with far away stars as the base for proper triangulation) blows the whole, current "theory" of FE entirely out of the water, so to speak. If the earth DOES happen to be flat, your current model is entirely wrong, or your entire model is based on a bunch of unknown and unproven science, or it is based on mysticism.

Don't kill yourself by sticking with all your faulty FE science as it dies.

No idea.   You claim things.

I post what has been scientifically proven for a thousand years.

 

^^^ This is the third time an attempt has been made to strawman my argument regarding "angular size" with distance from the viewer to the Sun. The "Angular size" of an object is measured from the horizon vanishing point and correlates with an actual physical distance.

If you're going to argue my points with by changing subjects and putting words in my mouth i.e. strawman tactics then you should kill yourself. My proof still stands.

And it is the trig involved when you measure the distance to the sun from two very distant points on the earth, and when you measure the distance from two very distant locations of the earth in it's orbit, and when you measure the trig between two satellites or the earth and a satellite, all of which have and use telescopes and advancements on the sextant that have made the sextant obsolete long ago.

Fuck you man, You're straw-manning my argument about distance by changing it from the distance the diameter of the Sun spans to the distance from the viewer to the Sun.

The argument isn't about the distance to the Sun, that's calculated using trigonometry and another known distance such as that to a lighthouse. This is about the Sun's "angular size" relative to the horizon vanishing point (a visible object). It's directly measured at 32' with two readings, first you measure the angle between the bottom of the Sun and the horizon, then then the top and the difference is the angular size. One arc minute equals one nautical mile; the very definition of mile is one minute.

Kill yourself for being intellectually dishonest and straw-manning my argument you sack of shit. Also, this is the second time (^{"I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?"}) one of you shills straw-manned my argument about "angular size" with distance to the Sun, the Jewish method of 'accuse your opponent of what you're doing while you're doing it' rings true here doesn't it?

My proof the Earth is flat is empirical and it stands; the sextant measures angles on a plane and the Sun is 32 miles in diameter.

@Vod, how does it feel not being able to prove your claims and having to cry to authority and use intellectually dishonest argument tactics for every argument you make?

Canada is a Christian country Vod, the Bible is the highest authority. The Queen, her crown is place upon her head by the church. She literally still has "over 9000" power level with royal declarations. Your statements that the Earth is a spinning globe in a vacuum going around a million mile wide Sun a hundred millions miles away are in direct conflict with the Bible. Your statements are treasonous and provably so with empirically measured values. Not only that the political wing of globalism is a blatantly treasonous threat to Canada's sovereignty.

Canada still has the death plenty for one crime Vod, do you know what that is?

Do you know who Giordano Bruno is? History tends to repeat itself Vod!

I don't know why this forum does not lock obvious troll threads.  

I believe it should be locked once the discussion has become stale.

The OP has been unable to show any reasonable issue to keep the thread open.  Every point he makes has been debunked for hundreds of years.

I reported this thread to be locked and the report wasn't marked as bad, but they didn't lock it.

Talk to Theymos and the moderators...

The OP started this thread as a lie (read his initial question), and he will keep going until someone locks it.  :/

This still goes on and on and on...

No one believes the world is flat.

Obviously, no one could continue such a belief under the barrage of proof we show them.  You have to be incredibly stupid (which means you would be a ward of the state) or you have to be lying.   The fact notaman knows how to use the internet and type basic death threats means he is not an absolute idiot.  

After all this time, I still can't believe this is being debated.  There are still folks out there that believe the world is flat.  It's truly mind boggling.

Yes, we all know a sextant measures angles.

It cannot measure distance to a celestial object.

I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?

 

Wait, so I haven't been following too much lately, you are using a sextant to measure the angular distance of the sun, which is around 0.5 or 30 arcmin. So what?

"A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextant

"Minutes (′) and seconds (″) of arc are also used in cartography and navigation. At sea level one minute of arc along the equator or a meridian (indeed, any great circle) equals exactly one geographical mile along the Earth's equator or approximately one nautical mile (1852 meters, or ≈1.15078 statute miles).[9]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc#Cartography

"A nautical mile is a unit of measurement defined as exactly 1,852 metres (6,076.1 ft; 1.1508 mi). Historically, it was defined as one minute of latitude, which is one sixtieth of a degree of latitude. Today, it is a non-SI unit[1] which has a continued use in both air and marine navigation,[2] and for the definition of territorial waters.[3]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

No, I mean every educated person in the world knows a sextant cannot be used to measure distance. 

 

If by "the entire planet" you mean everybody except the Jews that edit wikipedia, then okay. Observe their entry, it says the Nautical Mile is defined as one minute, a mile by very definition is a minuet of angular size.



SI units are for psy ops.
