  • Hi all and thank you very much for joining me for another Flat Earth Friday, where today we are taking a look at Ranty Flat Earth.
    He seems to have stumbled upon what he thinks is the best Flat Earth proof you'll find all year...he is of course wrong but let's find out why!
    Here is Ranty's original video:
    • Presentation - For Bal...
    Have a great weekend and I'll see you Sunday night for a Science Top 5!
    Dan's opinions shared in this video are supported by verified facts (whether scientific or general) and they should be treated as just that: opinions.

    This is a dream come true for me. I am an ex Post Office Telephones/BT engineer. I spent 23 years or so at Charwelton radio station as a maintenance engineer between 1973 and 1996. THERE IS NO DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT BETWEEN THE BT TOWER IN BIRMINGHAM AND THE BT TOWER IN LONDON. The engineer in the presentation actually and correctly said the BT tower Birmingham communicated with the BT tower in London, but it did so via repeater radio stations at Charwelton, Dunstable Downs and Harrow Weald. Flat Earthers, do you your research fully!

      Which sounds totally logical when one has even the briefest understanding of how such things work. But is awesome to hear actual confirmation from someone that was his professional career. And of course Ranty mis-reads far more into what was said then actually said (per his biased pre-conceived idea), and goes on to mis-quote. Molly NEVER stated that BT tower in London had direct line of sight communication with BT tower in Birmingham. What she specifically states was with OTHER towers, she never named which ones. Nor did Molly ever state direct line of sight with all other towers. But that is apparently how Ranty erroneously interprets it. Smh.

      Yeah wow. There are plenty of places I have been too where it is obvious. One is Muskegon Michigan standing looking at Lake Michigan and believe me when you look at that massive lake it’s very obvious that you are seeing the horizon disappear from the curve of the earth. All you have to do is find a point ahead of you and you can clearly see that it curves downward. The same thing is brutally obvious when I have stood in several places at the Atlantic Ocean be it at the shore in Boston, New Haven, Fort Lauderdale, Ocean City MD, I have seen plenty of places up the East Coast. Oh yeah an I have also seen the same in Vancouver BC and Alaska. Just Alaska by itself shows you everything that you need to know about the shape of this globe thing. There were plenty of times when we were cruising the Pacific Ocean when you could just look forward on the ship and the horizon disappeared. The miles ahead and behind you were so vast because there was at some times no visible land anywhere close to the ship. Hey flat brainers try this sometime. It is mind blowing. All you can see sometimes is ocean. And there were times when all you could see was the top of mountains because they were so far away that because of the curvature you couldn’t see the whole mountain because it was too far away. Huh strange.

      One excuse I've heard a lot is that the flat earth is accelerating upward, creating the appearance of gravity.
      This is the thing with most flat earthers; if you present them with an undeniable observation, they'll just state some concept that _could_ explain it, and even though they have no evidence for this claim, somehow it's enough to convince them that your point is invalid.
      You might say something like: "If the earth is flat, why do we have time-zones? Shouldn't it be daytime or night time for the entire planet simultaneously?".
      To which they'll respond with something like: "Because the sun actually functions like a spotlight".
      Despite the fact they have no evidence for this claim, the fact that it _could_ hypothetically allow for your observation to exist on a flat earth is enough.
      In other words to a flat earther, a solution that could hypothetically invalidate your argument is equivalent to hard evidence that your argument is invalid.
      I've actually made the point in the past that this could be used to argue that many flat earthers (and people with similar sudoscientific belief systems) go beyond a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect, and venture in to the realm of suffering from a bonafide delusion.
      After all, one of the hallmarks of a delusion is that the sufferer will come up with rationalizations to explain away inconsistencies between their belief and actual observation, but just like with flat earthers, this'll be enough to convince them that these inconsistencies don't matter or even don't exist.

Mobile phone operators still use microwave dishes to link a lot of there towers together. As part of the back haul for traffic, moving more to fibre now, due to high data demands. There is no direct link / line of sight between Birmingham and London. As part of my job was line of sight surveys, and there are a number of towers running down the country. As for the lady speaking in the video, she was just speaking generally and isn’t a radio engineer, so probably doesn’t fully understand the terminology used, when describing a microwave hop.

The reason that scientists don't believe the earth is flat, is because they understand that it isn't and the reasons that it isn't. It's not a conspiracy, they aren't just trusting what someone has told them as you believe. The reason you need to trust someone else on that is that you don't understand the science. You would be better spending your time understanding the science. However, I don't believe that you will because actually your problem is much deeper than that. You should seriously look into why that is and find the root causes.

    I am a radio amateur from the Netherlands and there is a reason we have these repeater networks on the 2 meter, 70 cm and 23 cm bands, it is because of the curvature of the earth. I speak to a friend almost daily via PI6HVN, a repeater about 19 km from here. We are about 34 km apart so we cannot talk to each other directly even if we would both climb on our roofs. But by using the repeater in the middle we have a perfect and static free connection even if we are both on ground level. Given that this country is one of the flattest in the world it shows that the earth in between blocks a direct signal and is indeed a sphere.
    Dan, it is not clear what you meant by 'scatter' because that is a very general term. We do use E and F layer (upper atmosphere) reflections a lot for long distances but that is on HF up to 30 MHz, the 6m (and sometimes even 2 meter) band, around 145 MHz. The E layer reflection does not happen often and is unpredictable and that is why we call them sporadic E aka Es. For frequencies of 1 GHz and upwards it is impossible to reflect against these higher layers so you do need a direct line of sight at all times. With repeaters in between if needed of course.

    (Ranty, our favorite closet glober, not only is wrong on the workings of the towers, -he also got his numbers wrong. He says that on a flat earth, there would be a direct line of sight. But if you calculate it properly (but we all know, that isn't the strong forte of flerfers) you would see that it hasn't a direct line of sight. The height of the Birmingham tower is given as 151 meters, but that's to the top of the crane on top of it. The height to the highest disc is at a height of aprox. 141 meter. The London tower has a height of 191 meters, with the discs much lower at aprox. 171 (and then I'm being generous). The line of sight therefore crosses the point where the highest elevation can be found (at 63.7 km from Birmingham) with a height of 167 meters at a height of 153 meters. Even if we just take the entire heights of both towers, we come at a crossing height of 167 meters, and that's exactly the height of the hill blocking the direct line of sight. A disc just touching the maximum heigths of both towers, doesn't have a direct line of sight on a flat earth).
    This is what you get when you team up a house-painter, with a sacked Tesco delivery boy and a taxi-driver without a license and try to deliver scientific evidence.
    *edit* I should retract this whole comment, because it was pointed out to me that I forgot to include the height of Birmingham above sea level (140 m) and the height of London (11 m) above sea level. As a matter of fact, there is a line of sight on a flat earth model (which obviously and observably is the wrong model).
    However, I won't delete it, it's wrong and I admit that it is wrong.

Her expertise is in building bridges and buildings that don't fall down (as a gross generalisation). She probably only knows as much about microwave Engineering as she's been told for this camera piece.
      Having said that, she almost certainly does know that there is a repeater network which the tower has LoS with, and she definitely knows the earth is a globe (because she's smart and educated).
      But she is, in this context, just a presenter. She's not an authority on microwave Engineering and she's not really even an authority on this specific building: she probably wasn't even born when it was built.

      @EdwardHowton 5 років тому

      @tie pup Does the inverse square law come into that too? I only know the barest basics about that. It's, what... when you double the distance of a transmission, you square the amount of power needed? Something like that? So having a single tower eating several power plants' worth of power to emit one unreliable signal over a too-huge distance is a bad idea, especially since smaller transmitters at the edges could easily overpower the weakened signal, which is how people hijack channels for pirate broadcasts?
      Either way, it's clear Molly was referring to the network of towers with each part being close enough to signal its neighbors but not the entire thing. It's like flerfs have never seen a hair net before.
