DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner folks!
I'm going to assume that you meant to say that water IS level. Have you ever been on a boat out in the ocean? At about three miles away and with your eyes at one foot above the water, you can no longer see the shoreline (similar to what's happening in NYDutch's photo except his photo is taken looking across Lake Ontario). The rule of thumb among mariners is that you can't see a another ship until it comes within 12 miles of your position. Here is a table showing the approximate distances: Sight Distance
Gravity has nothing to do with density. Gravity acts on mass. You may have heard the riddle about which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks. The answer is that they both weigh one pound. Their density may be entirely different but gravity sees them as equals
According the the patent that Gleason filed, his map agrees with all of the other maps in terms of distances and relationships if you swing the hands around that were attached to the map. In mapping it is known as a "asimuthal equidistant projection" and it depends on the Earth being a sphere.
I could ask you the same question. Placing what you read over what you observe is not open-minded.
Planes fly however and wherever their pilots direct them (within the limits of the aircraft). We've all seen pictures or film clips of warplanes dogfighting and doing all manner of stunts. If you've flown, you know that planes have to make turns to get pretty much anywhere they're going even if it is just to make an approach.
Have you never heard of a "polar flight"? It is precisely described by the great circle navigation technique that you cited earlier.
That depends on whether you leave from the West Coast or the East Coast. If you leave from the East Coast, the plane will head somewhat Easterly. If you leave from the West Coast, the plane will head somewhat Westerly. How can you travel in different directions and get to the same destination? Is Asia between the West and East Coasts?
measurable curvature ??
Quote "Microwaves can easily be bounced off of the dome in a known direction as I have done it with a ham radio. showing a measurable curvature of the water line.?? C and Ku are GHz band. Do not pick words from a statement.
He's been entertaining though, on an otherwise boring few days recuperating from an injury.
What FLIGHT line intersects the pole. Quote" Fly North through the arctic then head south" North east or north west it is still North . Same with south.Not only that, but there are plenty of commercial airline flights over the poles.
You don't own a straight edge??
I didn't pick any words... You're denying the existence of satellites orbiting the earth. That flies in the face of the thousands on thousands of folks that work with the technology and know better, but you're so blinded by your faith in fictional writings that you refuse to see the provable, viewable, scientiific facts.
As I said above, you've been entertaining during a boring period, but now I'm ready to get back to the real world and leave your fantasies behind...
This bounce that you experienced was off of a layer of the Earth's atmosphere known as the ionosphere. The theory holds that with the right frequency and atmospheric conditions, the signal can bounce back and forth between the Earth and the ionosphere and travel great distances.
The table that I cited above describes the curvature of the ocean. It was developed using trigonometry and is supported by observation.
Water in level ! On a clear day Take a telescope to the beach you can see farther then 12 miles.
Why would a flat map work the same as a map that is curved? Gleason map
Plane's fly only in straight lines. Commercial airline flights in route not taking off or circling to land. Sorry I though everyone knows what we are talking about. Dog fighting in a plane full of cargo or passengers?? North east or North West Still North.
Gravity acts on mass??/ Mass is gravity . Why are you not sucked into the ground MASS.
Nice job - he walked right into that one. It seems that in the 'flat earth' line of thinking, they don't seem to grasp the scale of things or how that impacts visible sights, measurements, etc. They use this same failed logic in trying explain why you can see objects a mile or so away and argue if there was curvature, you wouldn't be able to. Well, by that logic, with a strong enough lens, you should be able to see Hawaii from Los Angeles, for instance.
The air would have to be Crystal clear the whole way fog, rain or dust in the air would block you view. As I said go to the ocean with a good telescope and follow a ship. your view will be blocked by particles in the air..
You don't own a straight edge?? to check the obscured inversion layer ? Prove to me they are not bouncing the signal !? Top people swear to Keep the secrets Everything is kept secret from other departments. This is BIG BUCKS$$$ Clark's belt Arthur Clark fiction writer first to coin the term satellite his pictures look like the satellite they show you.
People, please stop feeding this comic book. Nobody can change the mind of a fool, no matter which side that fool is on. 
This is typical - come up with excuses when something would disprove an argument or just declare, "it's a lie!".
I think everybody in this thread, including you and me, is a loser for different reasons.
