       Our Flat Earth Experiment
   DIR By: suvel
       Date: July 27, 2019, 5:41 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I had mentioned a few weeks ago that we would be buying some
       items while in the US (vacation), and bringing them back so we
       could perform an experiment at our leisure. We are back now and
       have the stuff, but we needed connectors for the vinyl tubing.
       Finally found them at a little hardware shop in town, the guy
       said that we would have to heat the tubing in hot water to
       expand the ends to make it fit over the connector. So that is
       what we did this afternoon. See attached.
       To bring everyone up to date who did not read
       [member=79]Brett[/member] 's experiment idea (originally posted
       as "Newby Question), I will post it below. Do not get me started
       on the typos and grammatical errors--I have learned to live in
       peace with those as he lives in peace with my complete lack of
       mathematical capabilities:
       "My wife (Suvel) is a FEer and I am not, but I'm openly
       investigating.
       I have considered for a while a simple physical test that most
       could do themselves to prove one way or the other and want some
       feedback on the concept.
       The idea is to use a water level (see picture) and a lazer to
       test for curvature.
       The idea is to link three water level columns with 1000 feet of
       tubing at equal distances (column, 500 feet, column, 500 feet
       last column).
       Given the curvature calcs (8" per mile) there should be a 3/4
       inch deflection at the midpoint of these three columns of water.
       (~8/5280 * 500 = 0.75)
       So if we could set this up and aim a strong lazer light at the
       end point column's water levels, the middle column's water level
       should be approx 3/4 of an inch higher, if curvature is real.
       Where am I going wrong here?
       Or is this a way to test if curvature is true or missing?"

       [shadow=blue,left]someone give you that experiment to determine
       curvature of the earth. It is hard for a reason..to keep you
       from finding the truth.
       Distance is key and math can prove it. one does not need a model
       other that to prove the math.
       If the earth drops away at 8" for every mile squared divided by
       12" then in a 2 mile area, the drop should be ? 5.3 feet?
       [(8*(2x2))/12]

       Is it OK if I move this to the Flat Earth forum later

       Yes of course. I cannot get used to the forum here, and where is
       best to post.

       I guess the experiment went well.
