1965 scientist claims the moon is plasma - UNCUT | RetroFocus ABC News (Australia)

Published on May 8, 2019

In 1965 this scientist tried to turn conventional science on its head. Among R Foster’s theories was that the moon was in fact made of plasma, not rock, and that landing on it would not be possible. Mr Foster claimed that once his ‘profound and decisive’ investigations were proven, a complete re-investigation of the laws of nature would be necessary. This is the uncut version of the interview posted on 28 March 2019. The ABC has been unable to confirm Mr Foster’s identity beyond the entry in the production notebook from 1965: “People – Int Tasmanian Professor (FOSTER)”. We have also been unable to find any documentation of his work.

Visual border height on perfect spherical planets

Abstract

Derived formulas, drew diagrams and ran calculations for spherical earth claim

Two individuals on planet earth at the same elevation standing 6 miles apart with a body of water between them should have a visual barrier of 6 feet of water between them

A 6 foot tall barrier of water is the same as average height of European Caucasian  humans rounded to the nearest foot

If people approximately 6 feet tall standing at the same elevation (relative to sea level) can see each other's feet with binoculars while standing 6 miles apart then this would refute the claimed radius of the earth if it is a sphere.  It would not refute that the earth is a sphere because it could just be a much bigger sphere instead of flat for example which might indicate hidden land.

Intro

My calculatiions could be wrong

If my calculations are correct the ideal distance to test the alleged shape and size of the earth is two people standing 6 miles apart from each other at the same elevation 

A way to try to stay the same elevation might be to look at each other across a body of water with their feet standing near where the water meets the land at the coast of the same body of water

The reason for that distance is that at a path of 6 miles between them there should be a visual barrier of water between them that is 6 feet tall

6 feet tall is the average height of Caucasian humans of European ancestry rounded to the nearest foot

If the earth is a sphere of the radius claimed they should be able to see more of their bodies as they get closer to each other than 6 miles and less of their bodies (at a certain point none of their bodies) as they stand farther away than 6 miles

I checked for the alleged radius of the earth at the equator at the highest mountain on the equator where the radius is supposed to be the largest and the alleged radius between the north and south poles where the earth's radius is supposed to be the smallest and in all cases two individuals standing 6 miles apart as you would walk the curve would have a visual barrier approxiamately 6 feet tall between them (between 5.989 feet and 6.016 feet) this is approximately the standing height of a person rounded to the nearest foot

The following is an explanation for how to calculate the height of a visual barrier of water between two people standing on a spherical planet followed by diagrams that go with the explanation for how to get the formula then followed by calculations using the radius of the earth according to sources listed later below,  screenshots of calculations and diagrams were created at websites listed in links below in the last section, along with various websites by other people related to the same topic for additional reading, the information in some of these websites do not give the same results as one another and it is important to understand the difference between a visual barrier due to curvature and a visual drop due to curvature I am hoping by viewing these other websites along with my own explanation of how to calculate a visual barrier this will become more clear to the reader.

Method of Formulation

If two points A and B are selected on a outer surface of a sphere with less than one fourth of the circumference of a circle with an equal radius to the sphere apart from each other as traveled by the shortest arc path along the surface of the sphere the following can be calculated using a diagram of a two dimensional circle instead of a more complicated diagram of a three dimensional sphere because only two orthogonal dimensions are needed to represent the shortest path of travel in Cartesian coordinates.

Let us call the direction of the shortest straight line between the two points (A and B) horizontal and the other direction perpendicular to it vertical.

If one were to try to imagine eyes being at the one point and looking at the other point (at a distance of zero units from the surface) the eyes could not see the other point because there would be an opaque barrier between the points and the vertical height and horizontal width of the barrier could be calculated.

Let R be the radius of the sphere and P be the shortest arc distance between the two points (A and B) that one could travel walking on the surface of the sphere to get from one point to the other.  Let H be the shortest straight line distance between the two points (A and B) which would be the horizontal width of the visual barrier at it's thickest in the horizontal direction or the horizontal width of the visual barriers base.  Let V be the height of the opaque barrier at it's highest in the vertical direction which would be the distance measured between a point called W halfway between the two points (A and B) to a point called T which shall be located at the top of the sphere halfway between the two points horizontally but not vertically.  Let C be a point at the center of the sphere.

Let the angles measured be in radians.  Let us call the angle ACB the name Theta.  The angle ACW  has an equal value to the angle  WCB both being one half of Theta.  Two symmetric triangles with right angles are formed one contains points A, C and W and the other containing points W, C and B.  Using those two triangles the following can be calculated.

P = length of curved Path between points A and B

V = height of Visual barrier = length of line segment WT

Length of WT + Length of CW = V + Length of CW = R

Length of CW = R * cos(Theta/2)

V = R - Length of CW

V = R-R*cos(Theta/2) = R*[1-cos(Theta/2)] = R*[1-cos(P/2R)]

H = width of base of visual barrier

H = the straight Horizontal distance between points A and B

H = length of line segment AB  = length of AW + length of WB

length of AW = length of WB = R * sin(theta/2)

H = 2R*sin(Theta/2) = 2R*sin(P/2R)

R = the Radius of the planet

Theta is an angle in radians

Theta = P/R

Theta/2 = P/2R

Theta/2 = inverse sine of H/2R

The straight line length from A to T is equal to the straight line length from T to B is equal to the square root of V squared plus (H/2) squared.

Now imagine an individual whose eye height from the bottom of their feet to their eyes was a height of Z was standing on point A and a duplicate of that individual was standing on point B.  If they were both oriented as line segments that were purely in the vertical direction with no horizontal components in order to see each other's eyes Z would need to be greater than V.  But if the line segment of the person standing on point A was parallel to the line segment AC and the line segment of the person standing on point B was parallel to the line segment BC.

Then in order for the two people to see each other's eyes

Z = Standing eye height

Z*cos(Theta/2) > V

Z*cos(P/2R) >  R*[1-cos(P/2R)]

And

Z > V / cos(Theta/2)

Z > R*[1-cos(P/2R)] / cos(P/2R)

And the horizontal distance between their eyes length N would be

N = H+2Z*sin(Theta/2) = [2R*sin(P/2R)]+[2Z*sin(P/2R)]

Z and N are not yet included in diagrams at the present time

If Venus is between the earth and the sun it should not be possible to view venus at certain hours during the night because the observer's view would be facing away from Venus since the observer's view would  be facing away from the sun once one is deep enough into the night.  Now if the distance between Venus and the sun is less than the distance between the earth and the sun at certain times of night it should not be possible to view venus in certain parts of the sky no matter where Venus is positioned within that distance from the sun or less.

Some astronomy guidebooks will tell you that because Venus is a so-called "inferior" planet — a world  that is closer to the sun than Earth — that you can never see it in the middle of the night. But this week, for many locations, Venus will be visible at the witching hour and for some localities well beyond the stroke of midnight!

Reverse communism negates rights to a free market for it's supporters

Reverse communism where you tax the working class to give to the elite is worse than communism where you tax the rich to give to the poor.  Big corporations and the elite and many politicians support reverse communism while pretending to support a free market when talking  to right wingers and pretending to support communism or socialism when talking to to left wingers.  Big corporations are not entitled to a free market as an excuse to censor the working class on their media platforms or do many other things libertarians say it is ok for a business to do but not a government because these big corporations elite owners oppose a free market for individuals who are in the working class.

Open borders on personal property by government mandate

If your required to accept people you do not want to by law for a business that is a open borders policy for your own personal or private property until those open border policies are removed for personal and private property you can defend your borders by having closed borders for the entire state you live in.  There ought to be a right to refuse clients with whatever reason you choose but the government ruled you must accept clients with hiv aids for your private business.  Barack Hussein Obama additionally removed restrictions on immigrants with hiv aids.  There used to be something called a quarantine.  Now people are getting Ebola and the plague and measles in Europe and California.  When you are not allowed to prevent people with infectious diseases from getting on your business property and people are also crossing state lines with those same infectious diseases then diseases locally eliminated  like measles or never before present in "first world" countries will come in from the "third world."  No mandatory vaccines for school students and children will stop it unless there are mandatory vaccines for immigrants but there can not be mandatory vaccines for immigrants with open borders.  And you can never achieve a state with more (compared to not letting them in) libertarian policies by voting while accepting immigrants that vote for more government power (or anti libertarian policies) who come from locations with a lower percentage of people that support libertarian ideology.

What percent of the boat is visible?

If the water surface is found from a globe earth than the lower portion of a boat should gradually disappear even when observed through a telescope or binoculars or video magnification now I have seen videos where a boat disappears until it is zoomed in on through a telescope but on a round earth with a round water surface the boat would still re appear when zoomed in on by a telescope but a gradually increasing portion of the bottom should disappear until the whole boat is gone however on a flat earth with a flat water surface the same percentage of the bottom of the boat should be present when zoomed in on.  I am impressed by the videos of a boat reappearing when zoomed in on but I want to know if the percentage of the boat visible decreases as less of the bottom can be seen indicating a globe earth with a curved water surface or if the percent remains unchanged.
