yes, but the burden of proof means that as the presented of an argument, you have to back up your claim with proof
thereby having the "burden of proof"
but the claim was made by somebody here that curvature was witnessed through the window of an aircraft, so there's that FYI
that's true
but you began the argument
or the debate
@CryptoCypher ok so lets say the earth is flat, why would the government want to cover it up
about that particular topic
like whats the reason
thereby burdening you with the necessity of backing up your argument with proof
@Santa Phil well, one reason would be the $50 Milllion dollars a day that NASA gets from tax payers! that's a pretty good reason isn't it? there's plenty more though
But it is on some aircrafts, especially on the former Concorde flights
but they don't get that money for the earth being round
*this was a bad argument to start*
not at all
God that was too dumb and before it’s time, it’s a metal death trap imo
Crypto how did the experiment go
let me continue to read
go do some research or something
What are you reading
Ahh
Well the windows from end is concave, and the other is convex
I’ve seen windows be flat before, or at least appear flat
Not from the outside, mind you
When light enters the convex side it bends x degrees in one direction, when it exits through the concave side the light bends x degrees but in the opposite direction
Meaning that the net changein angle is 0
Note there can be magnification , but that is a linear transformation
Which doesn't distort
guess we can lay that argument to one side then
So the view from airplanes is legitimate
So there is a curve
Does a flat Earth predict that curve?
`. Chemically toughened glass. Annealed glass immersed in a bath of molten salt resulting
in an ion exchange between the salt and the glass. The composition of the salt is such that this
ion exchange causes the surface of the glass to be distorted (by expansion), thus putting the
surface in a state of compression. ` ... `c. Creep. The change in dimension of a material under load over a period of time, not
including the initial instantaneous elastic deformation. The time dependent part of strain
resulting from an applied stress. ` ... https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_25_775-1.pdf
Okay?
That talks about the formation of glass
it talks also about distortion
Not the way light flows through it
Yes
Of the glass
Not the properties of it's optics
