LOL. All these fags are denying the existence of a fata morgana mirage at the horizon, they seem to think circle jerking will somehow make it go away. You guys are retarded, anybody can do the most basic research and see that's it's a real phenomenon.

I was going to report this as a spam megathread, which I’ve been doing quite often lately. But I see some big accounts posting here. Don’t you think all possible replies about it have been given? If someone is stubborn and believes the Earth is flat, you are not going to persuade him.

I think if somebody consistently denies the incoming reception of contrary information in order to continue espousing an outmoded belief they fit one definition or the other perfectly:

1. Insane.
2. Troll.

Or, as could very well be the case with both notbatman and joe, both.

That is a great idea.  If you think it will help, I will not post anymore.  I'm just repeating facts over and over.  If they can't understand it, I am wasting my time.  :/

Are you stupid or you just want to trick yourself again into believing in this crap? Look at the bottom of the ship, it's completely perfect, no illusion at all, how does the fata morgana work, does it only work behind the ship but not affecting the ship or what, for fuck sake dude, wake the fuck up.

Pretty sure you are being trolled.  Unless he is in grade school and hasn't learned basic physics yet.

I can't begin to imagine someone would troll for so many years. I think at some point after all the trolling he started believing.

What if they lead a boring life?  What if they live in their parent's basement, and have access only to a TV and internet?  What if they don't have the confidence to venture out?

This forum would be their only source of entertainment.  They would continue lying to you forever for the attention they crave...

"A Fata Morgana is an unusual and complex form of superior mirage that is seen in a narrow band right above the horizon." -- Wikipedia





The Fata Morgana mirror band is part of the visible horizon and all horizons have it, the magnitude of the effect depends on atmospheric conditions. "average" conditions result in a narrow band as seen in the image above. In the image below taken with a much more powerful camera (Nikon P900) and of a much less symmetrical ship shape, the mirroring nature of the effect becomes apparent.





There's no giant hump of curved water three miles out that ships are sailing up and over.

Another ship disappearing over the horizon. Weird!!

KYS

When a ship approaches the horizon there's a mirror band caused by a mirage that forms at the water line, it obscures both the bottom of the ship and the top of the water. The magnitude or width of this mirror band is dependent on atmospheric conditions. As the ship travels further away convergence reduces its angular size and the mirror band covers more of it. Eventually the vanishing point is reached and the ship is no longer visible. There's no hump of curved water three miles out that ships sail up and over.

Here is how anybody can prove that flatlanders who use the horizon argument don't know what they are talking about.

The horizon is relative. Use 3 cameras.

Place 1 camera at 6 feet above the water level.
Place camera 2 at 20 feet above sea level, right next to camera 1.
Place camera 3 at 1 inch above sea level, right next to the other two cameras.
Make sure the cameras are all facing straight out to sea, next to each other, aimed at the same ship, and true to plumb with the gravity of the earth.

What do the cameras show when camera 1 shows some of the ship over the horizon?
Camera 2 shows the whole ship, just as it would be seen if it were sitting just a few feet away from the cameras.
Camera 3 can't even detect the top of the highest part of the ship.

This is because the horizon is different for each of the cameras. The so-called mirror band doesn't have anythign to do with ships beyond the horizon.


Now, of course, this test isn't described in completeness. Any old flatlander can say all kinds of stuff about how the test is not "microscopically" correct in testing detail.

But you all get the idea. Go out and do your tests. Better tests can be done with cars on a level road than with ships. Use the 3 cameras at different heights, and the same car at a particular distance.

Better yet, use a house. If the 3 cameras are all within 1 foot off the ground, the house can be so near that there is no chance for any kind of atmospheric aberration that can be considered a mirror effect. Because the house doesn't move, you can actually use one camera, and position it in 3 different positions for the shots.

Flatlander use of horizon to show flat Earth is totally negligible, and totally wrong.

Cool

Where in the video is the water obscured?

That is a mirage, educate yourself



Fata Morgana is a type of mirage, kill yourself.

''is an unusual and complex form of superior mirage'' What a fucking coincidence that even though it's unusual every time you watch a boat sailing away a fata morgana happens, amazing coincidences.
Then again, there is no fata morgana in the video.







None of that happens in the video.


This is how the video starts:

People will be living on Mars in a few years and notbatman will still claim the earth is flat  Grin

Fake people on fake Mars who got there on fake NASA SpaceX rockets. If anything - this would be a gold mine for notbatman. He thrives on conspiracy theories, the crazier the better.

There's conspiracy fact like Flat Earth then there's "conspiracy theory", a term coined by CIA to help shield their activities from criticism.

If you like "theory", I'm currently looking into the New York giants. I suspect a world wide catastrophic event (1815) and coordinated efforts between the Jews, Jesuits and Masons (to name a few) were able to completely eliminate a race of giants (~ 12') that lived among us. They wiped their empire and culture from the history books and destroyed most physical evidence, took their land and pocketed everything of value.

It's time to go fucking kill yourself, go find an oven and crawl inside. Don't forget to turn on the gas, and blow out the pilot light first or you'll just cook yourself to death.
Wow that's just dark. And not because the pilot light is out.

It's a not-so-subtle reference to the Holocaust. It's very important for notbatman's opponents to get gassed, not cooked, for he thinks that "ball Earth" is a Jewish conspiracy.

At least batty-man infuses a hint of satire into his ridiculous posts and I tend to doubt he believes all the farcical flat earth nonsense he preaches on this thread.  
He's in so deep now , might as well continue the charade for shits and giggles.
But this joe wackaloon character...holy shit, he sounds like he's totally off his rocker.

Hmmm, very odd thing happened to me this morning.  I was awake and I saw the sun rise.

It didn't fade in, in the middle of the sky with a blue hue, as the flattards claim it would.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift)

It rose from the horizon and appeared quite yellow.  Almost as if the earth was rotating and the sun wasn't moving towards me...

 Undecided

Come on Canuck.  One more like above.  It's a shame you have been shut up on the science front.



I guess you've run out of steam.  Wife leave you?  Son disown you?

Compliments will not change the fact you are a nut job.  :/
