FECORE's Laser Farce

The largest and most glaring error in the 'FECORE Laser Level Experiments' is FECORE’s calculation for refraction is an absolute joke — several miles of atmosphere cannot be treated as a single interface to which you apply Snell’s Law. You have to integrate Snell’s Law over the entire distance as a continuous function of changes in air density, composition, pressure, and temperature. This kind of gross negligence disqualifies this as a valid 'experiment' right off the bat.

They also ignore diffraction effects (scattering of the beam along the surface of the water) and try to count ‘I can see the laser’ as equal to ‘laser has gone in a straight line’.  This is another grossly negligent aspect of this test that completely disqualifies it as a valid 'experiment'.

Another thing I immediately noticed is that you can see, in numerous of the images they posted, that the laser light is being reflected down from layers in the atmosphere back onto the water surface. You can see this as very bright blue spots on the water well below where the laser is.

Flat or Globe that is thoroughly disqualifying.

There isn't even any point in checking their 'experiment' any further.

At heart I think they try to do a valid experiment but these are such gross errors I find it difficult to sustain this good will.

Lasers are simply not a good way to run this test.

Sandor was told many times on the Metabunk thread to do the experiment the way Wallace did it -- setup very carefully measured rods at at least three points well over the water (at least 10 feet or so) and observe them with a telescope in both directions.  This method is almost refraction proof -- refraction can skew the results in either direction but won't align all three points without some extremely rare atmospheric conditions.

Of course, we all know that this will show the Earth is curved and they'll just deny it... Again...

Sorry but Flat Earth adherents aren't logical, reasonable, or honest -- even if they think they mean to be honest their beliefs get in their way.

What everyone agreed they saw in the telescope.
