This is a Picture of the Chicago Skyline taken from Grand Mere State Park in Stevensville across Lake Michigan 60 Miles Away ....

If we are on a "Ball", with a circumference of 25,000 miles ---

Spherical geometry proves the following elevation loss in all directions from a fixed point observer on a sphere with a 25,000 mile circumference:

1 mile - 8 inches
2 miles - 32 inches
3 miles - 6 feet
4 miles - 10 feet
5 miles - 16 feet
6 miles - 24 feet
7 miles - 32 feet
8 miles - 42 feet
9 miles - 54 feet
10 miles - 66 feet
20 miles - 266 feet
30 miles - 600 feet
40 miles - 1066 feet
50 miles - 1666 feet
60 miles - 2400 feet
70 miles - 3266 feet
80 miles - 4266 feet
90 miles - 5400 feet
100 miles - 6666 feet

That means Chicago should be 2400 Feet BELOW the Horizon (Technically, the Sears Tower is 1454 Feet so...it should still be out of sight by 1,000 feet). Errrr, can somebody please tell me What in The World is going on here ?? :think:

Is this a Mirage? :blink:

And btw, I have another 2,000 examples with most FURTHER than 60 Miles!

So if the Earth is 'spinning' @ 465 meters/second from West to East (1,000 miles an hour) and you're taking a flight from San Diego to New York @ 500 miles per hour, how do you reach your destination before the destination comes screaming up @ 500 miles per hour from your "6" , pray tell??


So if the Earth is 'spinning' @ 465 meters/second from West to East (~ 1,000 miles an hour) --- if I wanted to travel from New York to San Diego 2425 Miles, why shouldn't I just get in a Helicopter/Hot Air Balloon and "Hover" for 2.4 Hours ?? :gotcha:

If your premise (rotflol hysterically, btw) that the atmosphere is also 'spinning' @ the same speed as the Earth: then, please elucidate the mechanism by which the atmosphere is attached to the Earth; I will Accept VELCRO!! :laugh_point:

In your explanation, please Identify the Exact Location where this Atmosphere --- traveling @ 465 meters/second, KISSES the Vacuum of Space !!! Show the Fire Works !!!!!


So if the Earth is 'spinning' @ 465 meters/second from West to East and I shoot a Cannon Ball straight up in the air here in Missoura and it takes 15 seconds to land ---- it should land 7,000 meters (4 Miles) to the West ??

:rotfl3:

Next, can you show Pigs Flying.....?


Can anyone post One Fairytale Picture of The Earth from 'Space' that's not a Composite (aka: Computer Generated Photoshop Fiasco?? And then, let's take a look @ the various "Pictures" for a Compare and Contrast!!!



Get ready to face Cognitive Dissonance in a BIG WAY!! I promise an utterly Awesome Realization... on the other side. thumbsup.gif

Many years ago, I thought I ferreted out the lions share of THE LIES... then @ the request of friends, I dropped it.

I didn't realize how far it went. More importantly, I didn't take GOD @ HIS WORD!!! That ends here and now.
