Louisiana Odometer Statement: Fill & Download for Free

[Image: Diagram of the experiment conducted by the Eratosthenes, proving the circumference of the Earth with nothing but a pre-existing well and obelisk, a ruler and a slave to walk off the distance. Anyone, except the geniuses who believe in the flat Earth, can duplicate this experiment. I did it when I was 13 years old. No slave, though. My dad drove me and we read the miles off the odometer of our Chevrolet Caprice Estate station wagon.]I wrote this bit of prose in response to a response to a comment I appended to A. Adams’ answer to this question. As responses to comments don’t get a lot of visibility, I thought I’d post it as an answer. Where necessary for clarity, I have inserted in brackets summaries of what I’m responding to:[Adams said that he is in a better position to know the way things really are than are people—presumably like me—who simply rely on what we have read from others.]Let’s get a few things straight between you and me. I don’t believe what I believe because of what I’m told. I’m an amateur astronomer and space historian who has first hand observations and primary sources to back me up. I’ve spent thousands of hours observing the night sky with instruments and the naked eye. When I was thirteen years old, I won a regional science fair with the project: “Demonstrating the shape and size of the Earth with everyday tools.” I mathematically derived that size of the Earth with sticks, compass, ruler, the family car, and basic trigonometry within less than 1% of its known value (and, not incidentally, proving geometrically that the segment of the Earth’s surface between Shreveport, Louisiana and Cameron, Louisiana is a spherical arc—as I recall, about 2.75 degrees of arc, constituting something like 0.436% of the Earth’s curvature—but that was about 45 years ago).I’ve been in a B-52 bomber at 48,000. The curvature of the Earth was OBVIOUS to the naked eye. The color of the sky at that altitude, by the way, is amazing and the stars are almost indescribable. It is not, however, a comfortable ride. I’ve driven across the Lake Pontchartrain causeway and watched the buildings of New Orleans appear to rise out of the lake and have spent months on the sea and seen ships rise out of the ocean and sink under it as on a round planet rather than dwindle to a point as they would on a flat one. I’ve sailed across 2000 miles of ocean (in a sailboat, mind you) using chronometer, sextant, map, and printed tables, made calculations based on a spherical, not a flat, earth, and hit my destination with reference to no other navigational aids within 1.3 nautical miles, an error of 0.0075%. If I had been using a flat Earth as the basis, I would have been about 75 miles off. If you use a flat Earth as your basis of calculation for sailing from San Francisco to Japan, you wind up in Indonesia.I’ve observed earth orbiting satellites, with my naked eye and with telescopes, watched the space shuttle be launched and land, met three of the twelve moon walkers (one, though, before he went to the moon) and dozens of the engineers and flight controllers who made it happen (many of whom are relatives or friends of relatives). I’ve worked with people who install and operate long range microwave communication systems who aim their beams and build their towers based on a spherical earth (if the Earth were flat, you could build your 300 foot towers about 1000 miles apart, but because of the Earth’s curvature they can’t be more than about 50 miles away from each other. I’ve worked with naval radar and comms systems for which curvature of the Earth is a constraint of these systems that their operators face every single day.Ever flown an aircraft? I don’t mean “been flown in,” but “flown,” as in had your hand on the yoke and your feet on the rudder pedals. I have. Ever seen what happens to your artificial horizon when the erection system fails? I have. It’s actually a fairly common failure mode for that instrument. Your eye tells you that you are flying level, but the gyro slowly builds up a progressive error telling you that you are nose up/climbing, even though the altimeter says that you aren’t gaining altitude. The farther you go, the worse the error gets, something that only a round earth can explain. Did you ever bother to read about the early work on aircraft gyroscopes and artificial horizons and how their fixed sidereal orientation was a problem that the designers had to overcome? The references are out there for people who actually care about facts (and, if you actually DID care about facts, you would have already mastered that body of information before broadcasting to the world your total ignorance on the subject).I’ve gathered data on stellar occultations and conjunctions used by professional astronomers to make minute calculations of the then thousandth of a percent variations in the velocity of the Earth and moon caused by lunar mascons and other phenomena, the three-dimensional geometry of which make sense only with a round Earth and a heliocentric solar system.So don’t accuse me of just relying on what other people tell me. I understand and have personally validated the observational and geometric basis for my statements, over and over and over and over. I’ll probably see evidence of them again tonight.You do understand that the more you write the more you illustrate my point: that you don’t know jack. Your amazement that I can say that you don’t know jack when you have access to the entire Internet only illustrates your ignorance—you can have the world at your fingertips, but if you don’t understand any of it, then you still don’t know anything.Do you understand Eratosthenes’ experiment? Can you duplicate it? Can you explain it in light of a flat Earth?For example, there is your so-called flaw in gyroscopic erection is “how does it know which way round the Earth the plane is flying?”Seriously? I’m going to read that twice to see if you actually said that. [Reading] Yep. Answer: The Earth’s shape approximates a sphere (within a tiny percent variance). That’s a SPHERE. A sphere is, by definition, spherically symmetrical, meaning that it doesn’t care what direction you are moving across it—it’s surface diverges from a tangent to that surface by the same amount irrespective of what direction you travel across its surface.Incidentally, you accuse me of using “expletives” to discuss a rational subject. Assuming for the sake of argument that the flat Earth position to even the remotest degree partakes of being “rational,” I challenge you to point out the “expletives” in my post.In answer to your question, certainly discussion of gyroscopes is not limited to gyroscope experts. However, ASSERTIONS ABOUT HOW THEY OPERATE made by people who have no actual idea how they operate are totally worthless.You evince surprise that your assertions generate some heat. That, more than anything else you say, shows how little you know. I have personally observed the roundness of the Earth and worked with it, I have worked with others who can say the same thing, I acknowledge my debt to a civilization that is built largely on that knowledge and that relies on it every day. When you assert the flatness of the Earth, you are calling me a liar. Me. Personally. You’re calling all the sailors who navigate the world based on the round Earth liars, all the pilots, all the astronauts, all the astronomers, all the geographers, all the map makers, 2500 years of scientists going back to Eratosthenes. I note that you are one of the individuals who don’t believe humans landed on the moon. (So, now we have no doubt that you are stupid beyond words or in grave need of medication—every single one of the “hoaxers’” idiotic “arguments” has been blasted to tiny bits uncountable times by people who are actually NOT morons—see the site linked at bottom) So, you are pissing on the cause for which several brave men (one of whom I have met personally and a few others whose families I know) died and calling their sacrifice a lie. You’re calling my cousins and uncles liars. You’re calling Gene Kranz, whom I know and look up to, a liar. All when you have no first hand knowledge of anything, not even adequate second and third hand knowledge of anything, and know nothing about the people whose reputations you are shitting all over.All based on your contemptibly ignorant, erroneous, moronic assertions, any of which are easily refuted in light of basic 8th grade science or basic avionics? Do you really think that you are right and that every Earth and space scientist who has lived for the past 400 years is wrong? The monomaniacal arrogance required to support such a statement is staggering. Most of these people forgot more about spherical geometry and geodetic science during their morning crap than you will ever know.Given the magnitude of your crimes against the intellectual achievements of Western Civilization and the engineering/space flight achievements of your country, and your direct attacks on the personal honor of myself and tens of thousands of people from Eratosthenes, through Magellan, to Yuri Gagarin and John Glenn and Buzz Aldrin (who should punch you in the jaw, just as he did that loathsome fleck of maggot droppings, Bart Sibrel), I think my language has been remarkably restrained.I understand that Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Ted Freeman, C.C. Williams, Elliott See, Charley Bassett, and the Challenger and Columbia astronauts have several children still living (and, I assume, many of the Challenger/Columbia spouses are still alive). Why don’t you track down some of them and tell them what liars and scallywags their fallen relatives were. I warn you, though, many of them live in Texas, so you may be greeted with a shotgun.I advise you to duck.debunking the moon hoax[If you like my Quora Answers, you might like my swashbuckling, rip roaring, damn the torpedoes space navy/military science fiction/space opera novels published by 47North books and available on http://Amazon.com.
