Cool, what did he do, where are the results?

I don't have the details per say but he went on the chartered boat and worked the balloon, flair and distance factors. His friend was on land with a drone and access to that big beach entry in Santa Monica. They used the balloon, flair, drone and land elevation to map the visual cues as the ship disappeared beyond the horizon. Again and again.
 
@VonBonfire I'm working out how you can measure the index of refraction of air yourself at different heights above the water, to see how it changes like the sugar water demo. Measuring that sorta thing is old technology, but I'm trying to figure out how to do it in a modest size without fancy equipment. Search term is "refractometer" in case you wanted to poke around and see the sorta thing I'm talking about.

Nonetheless, I don't see how an experiment like this demonstrates how one is able to see around the rise of a sphere in average atmospheric conditions.

7704 is a physics guy. It's nice that he's taking the time to attempt to explain stuff in laymen's terms whether we choose to believe it or not. He could be doing other stuff with his time, like rocking out on that sweet Marshall combo he has.

Overall point is to demonstrate that average atmospheric conditions lead to light curving around the sphere, though it might take several experiments to build to that. @VonBonfire another related search term would be "geodetic refraction" I think.

I get it, and the experiment supports the hypothesis, but it seems a far ways off from truly demonstrating that light consistently (And conveniently I might add) bends around the curve so as to nullify one's direct observations.
 
How is this thread still going?
You'd have to be among the most ignorant humans ever to walk the earth to even consider being objective with a flat earth theory.
Because there is no objective way to consider it. None. Nada. Zero.

Hence "multiple experiments." I'm starting with establishing some optical principles like index of refraction, and then once those are in place moving to experiments probing whether average conditions have the optical properties necessary for the curvature.

Pretty sure you and the other guy are just trolling.

Not at all. Why is it trolling if I don't agree with everything taught in public school as fact? I don't really believe in flat I earth but neither do I believe in a ball earth spinning in "space". Space is just made up terminology, a repackaging of "heavens". I think ball earth is mostly lies as geocentric and heliocentric theories have been in competition for thousands of years.

Nobody cares what you believe, because you're a broken record imbecile who states the most moronic things possible as facts.
 
I believe you believe @VonBonfire :dunno:

I know this can be a controversial topic but I don't like people pissing all over each other - even if it is OTC

Especially between 2 friends of mine :yes:
