Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

[gravityblock]

Former NAZI, Wernher von Braun, head of rocket program has Psalm 19:1 on his tombstone.  The firmament is in reference to the dome.

Psalm 19:1King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Below is an illustration of an experiment that would determine whether Earth is flat or curved beyond all reasonable doubt, without interference from effects such as  atmospheric ducting.

Description of the Experiment:
Two parallel pipes (one above the other and touching).
One pipe is half-filled with water and serves as a level for the other pipe, which rides on top of it (touching) and is "filled" with vacuum.  Periodic adjustable supports allow for exact leveling of the two pipe combo, on any non-hilly terrain.

The laser beam inside the vacuum pipe is compared to the water level in the water pipe below.


A 400m long pipe is enough. (or ¼ mile)


Formula for the difference in the length of the orange and violet ruler on a curved Earth:
Δh = ( r / cos( arc/r ) ) - r

_{where:
Δh: the drop-off of the curved water surface compared to a straight laser line.
r: mean radius of the Earth,
arc: the length of the arc (distance measured between two points along the water's/Earth's surface)}


LEGEND:
- All vertical rulers are referenced to the water level in the half-filled pipe.
   - The orange rulers are of equal length.
   - The violet ruler measures the result of the experiment.  On curved Earth it will be longer than the orange rulers.

- The green triangles are the adjustable supports for the pipes.

Yes, and there's a well known experiment that has already been done which proves the earth isn't rotating, which is the Michelson–Morley experiment!  Scientist's admit the Earth is the center of the universe at 14 minutes 12 seconds to around 20 min in the video.

Von Braun was not a NAZI.  You need to research stuff before posting.  This has been looked into many, many years ago and proven false...yet, since you didn't know about that, you post this crap. You need to read the FBI and CIA files on him and learn something.  Also, research Operation Paperclip.

Making this claim is the same as claiming that those poor bastards performing slave labor in the NAZI underground munitions works were also NAZI sympathizers as well.

Did he do what the NAZI guys told him to do?  Yes, and so would you.  I have like 5 books on him here on my shelves and none of them support your nasty claim for this intelligent man.

All order followers are bad people!  Who is more at fault, the order giver or the order follower?  The order giver says, "I didn't blow them kids up", and the order follower says, "I'm not responsible, I was only following orders".  The order follower is more at fault, because it is he/she who manifested it into physical reality and not the order giver.

You glossed over a big difference there.

"You need to do as I say or you will be shot!" 

Those poor bastards in the underground munition works were not following orders as much as they were trying to stay alive.  You can read all about this as much research has been done and all of it was published.
