@xCivicx

@xCivicx , I trust you can handle this. Although why bother.

Handle what?

This was already discussed in the other thread so I'm not sure why creating this thread was necessary

@Black Panther

I'm not seeing where they explicitly state how much curvature is supposed to be observable over the length of that experiment in your post

Also, can you post an more up-to-date version of this experiment?

There's much better technology that can accurately run that test now than there was

What's funny is that that test actually came back inconclusive back then because both sides thought they proved what they set out to prove

But you posted a pretty biased article about it, which isn't surprising

??

A gyroscope generally can't "prove" that an object is 3 dimensional so I'm not sure what you mean by the bold

Also, that experiment should have been done on the flat surface of a large body of water. Land is uneven in general

Why are y'all making me repeat myself, then saying that I'm not answering your questions??

Why are y'all asking me to explain this experiment when I've said multiple times that it isn't legitimate??

Why are y'all attempting to call this a heliocentrism "win" when even in the ORIGINAL experiment from centuries ago, BOTH sides believed that they were proven right in this experiment, meaning that it's actually an inconclusive way to determine the shape of the plane that we're on??

The first investigation was carried out by Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816-1884), the president of the Flat Earth Society, in the summer of 1838. He waded into the river and used a telescope held eight inches above the water to watch a boat with a five-foot mast row slowly away from him. He reported that the vessel remained constantly in his view for the full six miles to Welney bridge, whereas, had the water surface been curved with the accepted circumference of a spherical earth, the top of the mast should have been some eleven feet below his line of sight.

Rowbotham repeated his experiments several times over the years but his discoveries received little attention until, in 1870, a supporter by the name of John Hampden offered a wager that he could show, by repeating Rowbotham's experiment, that the earth was flat. The noted naturalist and qualified surveyor Alfred Russel Wallace accepted the wager. Wallace won the bet. Hampden, however, published a pamphlet alleging that Wallace had cheated and sued for his money. Several protracted court cases ensued, with the result that Hampden was imprisoned for libel, but the court also determined that Wallace had, indeed, cheated.

In 1901 Henry Yule Oldham, a geography reader at King's College, Cambridge, conducted the definitive experiment described above.

On 11 May 1904 Lady Anne Blount hired a commercial photographer to use a telephoto lens camera to take a picture from Welney of a large white sheet she had placed, touching the surface of the river, at Rowbotham's original position six miles away. The photographer, Edgar Clifton from Dallmeyer's studio, mounted his camera two feet above the water at Welney and was surprised to be able to obtain a picture of the target, which should have been invisible to him given the low mounting point of the camera. Lady Blount published the pictures far and wide and, apart from some hypothesising concerning refraction, and dark hints of collusion between Blount and Clifton, these have not been explained.

Finally, why are y'all CONTINUING to talk around my questions in favor of posting strawmen arguments??

Y'all are scrambling

I constantly respond to and refute these strawman arguments. When will one of y'all man up and actually ADDRESS MY QUESTIONS DIRECTLY??

So this should have been done in flat water?

As soon as you ask a flat eather to explain the Southern Hemisphere, and the star constellations they only get to see compare to the northern hemisphere

Yeah it should have been done over a large body of water if they were trying to recreate the original(which was still inconclusive according to reports from the time)

You cant be talking about anyone on this forum because I've addressed the "southern hemisphere" plenty of times in flat earth threads
