Science Theory Flat Earth

[Randysavage]

Equipment can be calibrated based on it's unit definition. For example a second is defined as 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation sent out by a cesium-133 atom at 0K because it so happens that all cesium-133 atoms send out the same frequency radiation at 0K. This means that there is indeed a clock that never needs to be calibrated because it is precise by definition. In a lab where they have equipment to measure this, they could calibrate equipment that keeps track of time without needing someone else's.

Good answer but time is the most calibratable unit due to atomic clocks but it still varies at height ( i’m sure you know who that time travel faster at higher attitudes) When you calibrating something like temperature when do you start calibrating the probe probe that you use as your constant

Whatever you calibrate you do an experiment of which you already know the outcome. If your sensor isn't calibrated correctly you will get a different result than the one you expected, you can use this wrong result (sometimes after doing some math) to adjust the sensor so that if you do the experiment again you do get the right result.

As for calibrating clocks, it doesn't matter how strong gravity is. When you bring a clock calibrated in space to Earth it will just run a bit slower like all Earth clocks.

How many clocks have you sent to space?

You obviously have a good grasp of science, what I’m trying to get at (badly) is that when you calibrate a piece of kit you usually use another piece of (normally more accurate) kit. That piece of kit at some point has to be calibrated (with another more accurate piece of kit, usually calibrated to a higher standard). My question was when does this cycle stop as eventually a piece of kit cannot be calibrated because it’s the highest up the chain. Obviously there are national standards for things like length and mass but even these vary with atmospheric pressure and temperature.

The most convincing prouve the earth is round is navigation. If you believe the earth is flat and go to explore the see with that conviction, you will not be able to find your way back to your port of origin and is most likely to die at the see.

We believe the earth to be a shape close to a sphere because until this day any one how tried to thing otherwise got lost at the see or crashed on a plane.

If one earns a living doing gardening, cooking, shop assisting, etc, it does not matter the shape of the earth, but if you are an air plane pilote or see captain, you better to learn how to make trigonometry over a sphere. Plane geometry will kill you.

This is my Darwinian approach to the flat earth problem. Unfortunately, this argument doesn't work with creationists!

I find it interesting that due to atmospheric refraction you can use a laser theodolyte at sea to prove the Earth is flat, or round or concave like a bowl, depending on weather and sea conditions. Yet sighting of ships at the horizon is commonly cited as proof of only one of those observed effects (a round Earth).

How many other common observational measurements in fact differ due to complex real world effects from what people think they are?

No convexity of earth has ever been proven. You can't bend water in a lab.
But hey CGI is more credible to the sheeple

Flat earth? Totally fine
Me saying anything anyone dont like? Conspiracy theory nonsense

15° per hour drift, and every thin large enough natoraly colapses into a sfere you know GRAVITY. and for those who say you cant have preasure without container near the vacuum. REALY what about jupitrr neptun sun all gasse no container and ner vacuum... cacuun doesnt suck! but i do.. go back to school oo and australia
