this is just more lies and misinformation designed to discredit and distract the Flat Earth truth

Your trolling is at a low. Is your work place's coffee machine broken?

did u even watch the vid? does it seem credible or feasible to you? or was the little BS alarm ringing in ur ear?

What do you mean by "slow down the dispersion"? And if you think the glass portion of the mirror is important, do you think the experiment wouldn't work with a metallic mirror? If I stick a shiny piece of metal in water, would it produce a rainbow? No glass at all, just reflection.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency.[1] Media having this common property may be termed dispersive media.
The most familiar example of dispersion is probably a rainbow, in which dispersion causes the spatial separation of a white light into components of different wavelengths (different colors).



In a dispersive prism, material dispersion (a wavelength-dependent refractive index) causes different colors to refract at different angles, splitting white light into a rainbow.

I thought you already knew this because the video you posted talked about this , that the rainbow is not just refraction, light needs to disperse as well, (slow down its frequency)
This is why you need the glass (or the glass of a mirror) in your experiment.

Hollow Earth Theory is the original psy-op to make you think the world is a ball.

It works the same with every transparent materials. for example water drops, Vodka drops, Pálinka drops, air etc.

i always find it amusing, as a physics student, reading other people talking about physics like they understand it so well and know it all.. :) (wasn't targeted at anyone specific, the worst thing you can do is argue with someone so far back in the dunning kreuger effect)

EDIT: i've just skimmed through one of the pages of the argument and would advice everyone to learn what these three words mean: Diffraction, Refraction, Rarefraction. Oh boy, people arguing about a topic without knowing what the words they use mean.. :rofl:


what you're seeing is a devolution of a conversation. Rather than building on agreed points like a normal human being Card likes to continually devolve and change lanes in a cat and mouse game. These conversations invariably start with Card asking for "proof" of a round earth, then people post multiple videos and it quickly becomes clear that all video and photo evidence must be set aside, because he claims they are all fakes made by nasa in photoshop to convince people. So you're left with the actual physical arguments, then when you go down that avenue Card plays another trick, he begins to redefine terms and change lanes again. So you start to realize that most actual physics isn't a conversation you can have either, because he won't agree on the definitions of terms with you much less stay consistent in his own definitions. So eventually you devolve into a conversation of a simple observable experiment that he has latched on to from the phase of Physics arguments, such as this prism rainbow conversation which undoubtedly arose from someone describing a phenomena in an attempt to draw a parallel for Card on an unrelated topic at which time he bailed on said topic to derail the conversation to what was meant to be a simple illustration you assumed you both agreed on.

but overall people argue with him because watching someone constantly change their ideas/definitions is hilarious, and he's pretty easy to paint into a corner.

Are you claiming that all water and air has a dispersive quality, if so what proof do you have for this?

"Agreed points" - so what is that - a doctored photo from Nasa you are indoctrinated with and shown a 10000 times and told if you dont worship this picture, your a worthless human being?

Of course the earth is round - a circle is round - that you dont know this isnt changing lanes - its pointing out the simplified thoughts and misunderstanding that prevail in your mind.

The conversation with you is always the same - you got your photo from Nasa and you demand proof that every photo from Nasa is doctored and cant understand how anyone could not be as indoctrinated as you.

This is why you believe in Bigfoot, you saw a picture and it proved it for you and are angry if anyone doesn't believe what you do, and explains your need to strawman and never give concrete examples. Stay in the slow lane, its where you belong and where you feel safest.
