Here's a novel idea:

I'll post this excellent video from the Russian Electro-L satellite camera.

Good grief, that is an embarrassingly FAKE video.

What's fake about it? You have complained before about NASA images because the clouds are obviously copied over and over. Here, the clouds show different patterns every day for several days and you can easily see where they came from by looking at the previous day's clouds.

I mentioned the reflection of the sun on the water but you're ignoring that, so far. Maybe you needed a week or two to think of some reply. Don't worry there's plenty of time.

So, what about it? What precisely do you think is fake in this video? Please be specific.

Ever since sailors have been navigating the Atlantic Ocean, they have relied on measurement of the angle from the horizon to the height of Polaris to tell them how far they are from the equator.

Even today, this measurement is a reliable gauge of the degrees north of the equator.

You have been unable to explain how that can be if there is no curvature from north to south, and it's really funny to watch flat-earthers turn head over heels trying to avoid the obvious. You're making a joke of your own blindness. :rolleyes:

Am I the only one to notice, that even when Neil gets answers to his questions, he just ignores them?
He posts questions, to try to sow doubt in the minds of outside observers.
He's not interested in admitting that he might be wrong.
There is an answer to his question above, but is it worth responding to a person who is not interested?

You don't have to pretend you're talking about me behind my back. I'm right here.

Let's hear your answers. I already asked the questions, but you have perhaps forgotten them because you didn't copy them.

Restated: How do sailors find their distance north of the equator on the Atlantic Ocean (for example) by sighting the elevation of Polaris above the horizon, if not by understanding that it is directly proportional due to the earth's curvature?

Do you know what instrument they have been using for at least 600 years for this purpose?

BTW: How is the method sailors use to estimate their latitude comparable to the method surveyors use to lay out a simple circular curve in a new highway?

Or is that question beyond your pay grade?

Maybe you're of the opinion that highways don't have circular curves or whatever.

I am so quick to respond every time Neil Obstat posts in a flat earth thread because I am not allowing him to sow doubt in the minds of outside observers; that is our job. :wink: I also notice he sometimes tries to post in a flat earth thread when he thinks we are most likely to not be looking.

Are you "so quick to respond" this time?

How about a substantive answer for a change? See above.

Noticed he ignores most and for that reason doesn't deserve answers.

So let me get this straight.

When you can't answer the questions you pout, and pretend you're getting even?

If not, then please answer the questions. That is, if you can.
