This experiment can duplicated right there in the UK Stu. Have you ever thought about that?

I can see France from a P&O ferry docked at Dover. The shortest distance across the Channel is 33.3 km, from Dover to Cap Gris Nez.

I would be about 10-15m up. Using that formula, I should only be able to see 11.2-13.8km. To see across the Channel, I should be 100m up and the P&O boats certainly aren't that high.

It's also easily calculated using Pythagoras. R is to the centre of the earth.

Yes but what you see of france from that distance is just the hill tops /mountains or whatever. You cannot see the shoreline or the beach etc as tht is obstructed by the curvature

So yes you can see the france fromm 33km away but you cannot see the full coastline until you hit the 11 to 13 km mark

No hills in Calais or along that coastline. I can see the coastline. All very flat. The sum of the height that I am at, above sea level and whatever land I can see in France, above sea level, is a lot less than 100m.

Just for fun, this is how much physicists believe in what they're doing is true. Yours truly here in the Faraday cage, attacked by the lightning from the Tesla coil. https://www.facebook.com/krunoslav.prsa/videos/vb.602906358/10154419075231359/?type=2&theater But yeah, I know you'll say it's all a sham. Cheers, k
Being in a Faraday cage would keep you almost 100% safe as it is designed to dissipate the electricity I do believe. About the only thing that could go wrong would be if there was some construction issue.

The shortest distance between uk and france leads to escalles which is to the left of Calais and is hilly - more than 100m above sea level

True.
However, in addition to that, the atmosphere “bends” (i.e. refracts) light. You see sunrise and sunset earlier and later respectively because of this effect for example. This effect in principle depends on the density of air, so on temperature and atmospheric pressure. For standard atmospheric conditions the result is given here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon#Effect_of_atmospheric_refraction
so instead of 3.57, the factor changes to 3.86.

The derivation for this (seems correct) is here:
http://mathscinotes.com/2013/08/distance-to-the-horizon-assuming-refraction/

That wouldn't account for seeing across the Channel or Stu's observation. However one also couldn't make those observations under standard conditions.
From wikipedia link above: “This correction can be, and often is, applied as a fairly good approximation when conditions are close to standard. When conditions are unusual, this approximation fails. Refraction is strongly affected by temperature gradients, which can vary considerably from day to day, especially over water. In extreme cases, usually in springtime, when warm air overlies cold water, refraction can allow light to follow the Earth's surface for hundreds of kilometres. Opposite conditions occur, for example, in deserts, where the surface is very hot, so hot, low-density air is below cooler air. This causes light to be refracted upward, causing mirage (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage) effects that make the concept of the horizon somewhat meaningless. Calculated values for the effects of refraction under unusual conditions are therefore only approximate.[5] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon#cite_note-ATYoungDistToHoriz-5)”

If the earth suddenly stopped spinning... no, we wouldn't all fall off , but there would be tremendous winds as for a while as the atmosphere would still be going round. The winds would be at 1100mph, which I think would be a rather severe hurricane. Half the globe would remain in perpetual daylight and the other half night, so life may be somewhat difficult.

Anyway, I thought any ISIS wouldn't be allowed back in? Was there not talk that they would just be killed on foreign soil by the SAS?

We've done this before. You know what I'm talking about. It's beyond the range of the human eye. Then when we refer to images which are brought into view by zoom that should be beyond the curve the answer is refraction.
No I've never seen Ireland personally but I have seen The Isle Of Man and as I say Blackpool Tower which is 56 miles away, depends on the weather for visibility.

I would say not for the most part J as it is individuals picking holes in NASA et al own released footage. I have put vids up where you clearly see guys on the ISS on harness ? And also someone tugging at one of the other guys harness when he was in danger of scooting off out of control. There is footage of Nasa control room with Tim Peake in background on a blue screen background. Why the need if they are where they say they are ? Why are all the photo's of the earth CGI ? Why not real ?

{quote} It's the size of the conspiracy that I take issue with. I know human nature very well. Do you know how many people would have to be in on all this fake NASA, no moonwalk, no ISS, no orbiting space shuttle? We are talking thousands of people over decades of time. I am open to any kind of debate, one thing I like about the RH. Jen will not censor. I admire that. Back to the Occam's razor argument. Do you really think that many people can keep that many secrets for that long?
Come on J... how many people were in on JFK ? People in controls rooms looking at monitors means what exactly, it means they all think it's real ? They don't have to be in on it. How about all those lookalikes from the space shuttle that all died but are nw alive and well, just a coincidence and two of them have came out and said they are twins.... pure comedy !
