GM Nostr.

Who is still here? Feels like most of you quietly moved back to bird site.

new phone, who dis?

Will we see most artists lose jobs and art start to go to 0?

Sure looks like it.

It wouldn’t be the first time if this “phenomenon that is described by the current science” with supposed evidence turns out to be an unfounded misconception. In my book light does not visually bring up objects from 5km under the physical horizon, unless I see properly documented scientific evidence of it occurring in real life. I will continue to look for evidence myself, but if you manage to find it please do share.

Wait, so one is not allowed to simply question the existence of evidence of a supposed phenomena happening in the real world? This is what you call science?

Once again, the burden of proof is on whoever claims that some phenomena does exist. It is definitely not me, the person who questions it, that should provide evidence of it's non-existence. I don’t have to do anything to be able to point out the clear lack of proper evidence.

The fact stays the same - there is not a single properly documented piece of evidence that suggests that terrestrial refraction has anything to do with real life. Stating that it can visually lift objects to the tune of many kilometers up in the air is a very bold claim with zero actual backing. Only simulations, approximations and suppositions that without exception lack all the needed relevant real world measurements 🤷‍♂️

How crazy is it that they can just halt trading when stock tanks and that’s not considered manipulation?!

#[4]​ already did! 🐶🐾🤣

I’ll take one pizza for a 100 BTC please. 🐶🐾🤣😂🤣

The next wave of online censorship is coming. We’ll have even more Nostr friends soon 🤣💜

Thank you, this link is much better.

How is it strange that I have doubts over a theory and want to see properly documented evidence for its existence in the real world? I always thought that this is what science should be about - not believing anything, unless it can be objectively proven in the real life.

So *on paper* this theory applies to all electromagnetic waves. However, in the link you provided the author claims that “the measurement of positions in space using Differential GPS enables us to measure the radius of the earth and earth's curvature without optical detours”. So does refraction affect all electromagnetic waves including radio waves used by GPS, or does it not? Seems like you and the author of the linked study are of different opinions on this subject. Anyway, I am interested in the supposed optical phenomena which is why I am only considering evidence regarding light waves.

For some reason, I do believe that light traveling through air is different from light traveling though water and glass (and especially through all of the above media combined at the same time)… Indeed, why would I believe that (if you exclude the fact that it is completely logical)?

I have looked through all of the equations that you mentioned and beyond, almost none of them have anything to do directly with the supposed terrestrial refraction. In many of them earth’s curvature is simplified away and calculations are made either with earth considered being flat or light rays considered being straight. And most of these equations are admittedly just approximations of a purely theoretical phenomena.

Regarding the study you linked, the author created a straw man of how refraction supposedly should act on a flat earth, and then disproved it using his purely theoretical simulations like it actually means something. Moreover, this study lacks all the necessary data points to objectively prove the existence of terrestrial refraction. Namely the temperature, pressure and humidity of air layers captured on video (and their relative placement) are completely absent. If you manage to find another study that does include them, please do share. I genuinely try my best to look into things, and am always open to changing my opinion on any given subject, but only if proper evidence presents itself. So far there is no properly documented evidence for me to believe light bends many kilometres up from below the earth’s supposed physical horizon.

I mean, I am beyond shocked that not one tech giant has the insight of a plebe.

Bitcoiners have done the work and showed the world that the FIAT is doomed. That the Fed can't raise rates to curb inflation without collapse of the economy.

That all FIAT in history has failed because it designed to fail.

Michael Saylor is the only CEO in the world that can do math? That can look at the history of money? That can muster the smallest gleam of insight?

Why hasn't Amazon, Google, Apple, META, on and on opened their eyes yet?

It will happen, it has to happen because FIAT is designed to fail at its most fundamental level. I'm just confused why these guys that we are told are super tech "geniuses" look like total numb nuts at this point?

What an honor to be asked this though.

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

And funny enough, intellectual property right don’t have an expiration date.
