Here:


Another idiotic post.  You can't see curvature on that scale down on the earth.

Secondly, if there were curvature shown in this picture, it would be equal at either end from center, since it curves both ways from center, but somehow here the alleged horizon is a bit lower left than the right, whereas both ends are equidistant from the center.

They did the "electromagnetic waves across a lake" experiments, which are bunk due to refraction mostly.

GPS relies on a satellite network, but you probably knew that. The GPS antenna on helicopters and airplanes is mounted on top, because the satellites are above them. Let that sink in when you talk about GPS-based measurements. No, it's not terrestrial masts. No, these satellites cannot magically hover over a flat plane on defined positions, kept up by balloons or something. Tell that to any expert in the field and he'll laugh at your face.

If you actually measure Sun angles they're totally inconsistent with a flat plane and consistent with a spherical Earth, there are tons of experiments and videos about that.
Blackswan is bullcrap:

Your ignorant rants about satellites is moot.  GPS equipment works, and their experiments with high-precision GPS disproved the globe.

"If you actually measure the sun they're totally inconsistent" ... I'm glad you measured the Sun angles.  These teams put cameras around the globe and did measure the sun angles and found them inconsistent with globe.

Blackswan blows globe out of the water.

So, are we just going to ignore that all these observations may vary from day to day?

Blackswan is bullshit.

No it isn't.  FEs demonstrate that sometimes the view IS obstructed, due to various conditions.  But you lack the honesty to admit that.  You post a single picture of something cut off and claim it as "proof" where the FEs take into consideration both possibilities.  There's a guy named Nathan Oakley who has these FE debates, and the scientist he was debating just said that the only thing this proves is that the radius of the earth isn't what they say it is.  In order for this to happen, the earth would have to be about 10x larger than they claim.

Microwave data links (which is what they were doing) are line-of-sight.  You have to have a solid, concentrated signal in order to network two computers over them and transfer data ... which is what they were doing.  See below how it explains that the signals are impeded by the earth's curvature and would require high tower heights and large dishes to overcome.  These guys had small dishes and were just about a meter above the ground.  If you had some refracted signal going over the curve, they would never have been able to achieve a stable network connection.
