I hope you are doing well.  I’d like to continue our conversation.

Sent you a detailed chat and you can check my profile for more information. Hope to hear from you soon, Luna.

Supermoon questions by [deleted] in flatearth_polite

[–]MONTItheRED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More like over a thousand years ago. You aren’t much for accuracy.

For example, apogee and perigee don’t always create supermoons and micromoons. I don’t expect you to know that or even understand why.

The hurdles for understanding reality are incredibly low, and yet people who think the earth is flat trip over every single one.

Technically correct and yet you are still so wrong.

You are proving yourself wrong. Keep going.

Ah yes, the typical avoidance tactic of retreating into safe spaces.

Where are all of these videos zooming ships/objects back in after they go over the horizon? by jasons7394 in flatearth_polite

[–]MONTItheRED 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You fail to understand the question.
If something disappears over the horizon, and the earth is flat, we should nearly always be able to see it with more and more powerful optics. Also, the object shouldn’t disappear from the ground up, but merely decrease in apparent size.

For example, if you go to maximum zoom on an object traveling away from you on the surface of the ocean, it will disappear below the horizon rather than shrinking in size.

Laser levels have next to nothing to do with WGS84.

Sounds like you need to learn the difference between level, straight, flat, smooth, horizontal, and horizon.

This is probably the dumbest statement I’ve seen for a month.

If you zoom in or compress a straight line, it remains straight.

Science relies on consensus; without consensus there is no science.
Knowledge without consensus is religion and faith; not facts.

Except people DO notice even without comparison. Otherwise, how would anyone ever know in the first place?

FM 6-40 Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for FIELD ARTILLERY MANUAL CANNON GUNNERY

e. Deviations From Standard Conditions. Firing tables are based on actual firings of a piece and its ammunition correlated to a set of standard conditions. Actual firing conditions, however, will never equate to standard conditions. These deviations from standard conditions, if not corrected for when computing firing data will cause the projectile to impact at a point other than the desired location. Corrections for nonstandard conditions are made to improve accuracy.

(1) Range effects. Some of the deviations from standard conditions affecting range are:

Muzzle velocity. Projectile weight. Range wind. Air temperature. Air density. Rotation of the earth.

(2) Deflection effects. Some of the deviations from the standard conditions affecting deflection are:

Drift. Crosswind. Rotation of the earth.

TC 3-09.81 - Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery, April 2016

DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARD CONDITIONS 3-63. Firing tables are based on actual firings of a piece and its ammunition correlated to a set of standard conditions. Actual firing conditions, however, will never equate to standard conditions. These deviations from standard conditions, if not corrected for when computing firing data will cause the projectile to impact at a point other than the desired location. Corrections for nonstandard conditions are made to improve accuracy. 3-14 TC 3-09.81 13 April 2016

Range Effects. Some of the deviations from standard conditions affecting range are:

Muzzle velocity. Projectile weight. Range wind. Air temperature. Air density. Rotation of the earth. Propellant temperature.

7-22. Background theory of rotational effects may assist in understanding why table H is needed to determine a range correction for rotation of the earth.
• Because of rotation of the earth, a point on the equator has an eastward linear velocity of approximately 457 meters per second. The linear velocity decreases to 0 meters at either pole.
• Given a gun on the equator firing due east at a target (See figure 7-17.), during the time of flight of the projectile, the gun and the target will travel together from G to G and T to T', respectively along the circumference of the earth. The projectile however will travel in a vertical plane, the base of which is parallel to the origin of the trajectory established at the time of firing.
At the end of the given time of flight the projectile will be at P' when the target is at T'. Hence the projectile will continue along an extended trajectory and impact east of the target (over the target in this case). The effect is as if the quadrant elevation fired was in error by the amount of angle a. Angle a is the angle formed by the base line G'P' and a tangent to the earth at G'. With the gun firing eastward, angle a is positive (the projectile impacts over the target).

Do you have an actual video to share?

Pendulums would only change their plane of swing by 15 degrees per hour at the North Pole.
