Seriously GTFO I absolutely refuse to believe there are people so thick that they believe the earth is flat. It's a troll

Have you investigated in any way,or just been told?

 

[cannot]

Ah. So as the sun "rises" in the morning it'll be tiny, get bigger throughout the day till midday & then vanish into the night as it moves on?

i think that is the explanation: https://aplanetruth.info/17-if-a-flat-earth-why-does-the-sun-go-down/

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

not really, its been said several times before

when you went to buy some milk did it feel like you lived on a globe today?

The best part about you continually asking this question like it proves something, is that it shows you have a completely nonexistent understanding of physics....again, and again.

Do you feel like you're travelling at 80kmh when your sitting in your car, coasting on the highway? No.

You will feel acceleration though.

ever try telling people 9/11 was an inside job a few years ago?

No.

I once had a girl tell me that the number printed on the bottom of her clear plastic water bottle that she had filled was to identify to the consumer how many times that Mount Franklin bottle could be refilled.

Stupid people believe in stupid things.

Why does the brightness change so drastically between the two?

The top one looks REALLY bloody bright.

I'd hate to be there at midday, as I'd imagine it'd be a shitload brighter than that as it'd be super close.

I know what you mean,this dude on the internet once accused me of being a druggy or mentally impeded because I converse with my friends

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

However when you are below average a 5 minute conversation with an average voter can help.

Perhaps you could help answer my brightness question above since the link you linked me to earlier is out of order.

This is really interesting stuff.

You will be surprised. I never just cannot believe that there would be flat earthers around in anymore.

I have a picture of "Moe" from 3 stooges stuck in my head everything i see cannot post.

 

[Santoz]

I'm off to bed. I'm eager to view the sunrise in the morning to start my research.

There is what is known as an atmolayer between the sun and the observer. This effects the projection of light.

respectfully, that is a somewhat lazy approach

http://www.vorply.com/world/list/co...t-being-round-which-will-scramble-your-brain/

im not ignoring it, ive read many flat earth debunking things, so of them more convincing that others

alarmingly a few of the flight paths stuff is some of the better ive seen... which is concerning as i was anticipating a mountain of evidence the earths is a slightly pear like globe as has been indoctrinated

1. The horizon always appears flat.
At ground level, the average human eye is unable to see far enough to detect the curvature of the Earth. The Earth is pretty damn huge compared to us and so what we are able to see appears flat. However, if we are able to see enough of the Earth (generally using sight aids such as telescopes, binoculars, etc.) then we are able to start to detect the curvature. The photos used in this link are panoramic and rely on the steady hand of the camera operator. Two of them actually turn upwards when examined closely (not that you can examine them closely enough because the quality of the pictures they have used is awful).

This photo was submitted to the Flat Earth Society by a Flat Earth believer claiming it is flat, when you can quite clearly (and even more so in a photo editor to zoom in) see the slight curvature of the Earth at the sides.


2. The supposed curvature factor is not presented in engineering plans.

Wow. Maybe because those plans deal with the ground that it is actually on itself? It also goes up hills and down hills, winds around, goes through tunnels in mountains and around the sides of them. Again, the Earth is so damn big compared to the size of any of these projects that you cannot detect any change in the level. This is genuinely one of the dumbest arguments possible.

3. Curvature factor is not presented in airplane flying tracks.

There is no adjustment needed as the aircraft will naturally follow the curvature of the earth without any input from the pilot. This is because the aircraft flies through the atmosphere which also follows the curvature of the earth. I'm no aviation expert, but the explanations in this thread nail it.

http://aviation.stackexchange.com/q...ght-path-to-allow-for-the-curvature-of-the-ea

4. The spinning of the Earth should allow us to travel more easily.

The Earth moves at a constant rate, which includes the atmosphere as well, that means the plane needs to move relative to the ground not just hover and have the ground move underneath it. A better explanation can be found here:

http://www.sciencealert.com/watch-if-earth-is-spinning-to-the-east-why-isn-t-it-faster-to-fly-west

5. No one has measured the Earth's spin yet.

We have measured the spin of Earth by determining the length of the day compared to the size of the Earth, but exactly how are we to measure the spin specifically by itself? I'm not entirely sure. The other part of this point claims that we can't feel it. But neither can we feel the actual movement of an aircraft that is flying steadily despite it going at a very rapid pace.

Here is an explanation: http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-we-don-t-feel-earth-s-rotation-according-to-science

That's all I can be bothered doing for now because it's getting late and this link doesn't explain any of it's points. It just make random points that they haven't bothered to research themselves and can be explained if they had listened a little bit in school.

Here is a timelapse video of the Earth spinning around that can be seen from the spacecraft 'EPIC'. Of course this isn't a single video and you'll no doubt call it doctored and whatever else, but the explanation provided by the lead scientist is fascinating (to me at least):

http://www.space.com/33493-earth-from-1-million-miles-away-one-year-time-lapse-video.html

Have a compilation of ISS videos as well, just because I think the video is damn well beautiful (and it quite clearly shows the curvature of the Earth in its so obviously completely and utterly doctored videos)

Are the people you know stoners?

Mate I don't mind having some green from time to time and I'm not bastshit crazy like these morons.

What gases make up this atmolayer?

Oooh but didn't you read the OP.

 

[Santoz]

What gases make up this atmolayer?

And is there a glass roof called the firmament holding these gasses in?

I've been doing a little bit of reading this morning.

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

Although totally unrelated to this topic I will agree with that quote.

The irony in this case is that you're the idiot you are alluding to in your quote. Thankfully there aren't many of you around.

I am just trying to understand these flat earthers, so lets say we fly east of new zealand for a few hours. Are we going to fall off the world and enter space? where is this massive wall of ice in the pacific and atlantic?

I love dinosaurs.

I also like how they've been found in Antarctica, like Cryolophosaurus.

I just wonder how they got there if the continents didn't begin from Pangea?

You see the Illuminati have infiltrated all of the airlines and all of the pilots are in on the conspiracy. They will have their computers that show the flight path all set-up to deceive us.

Recently I flew to San Fran from Sydney (East) and I have worked it all out. Really what the pilots do when 'flying east' of NZ is actually make a huge arc and come around the other way and secretly fly west to America. Then they use a special cloaking device to cover the earth below to make it appear to be water that you're crossing, when instead it's actually Asia, Europe and then mainland America underneath you.

And then they fly past San Fran and make another loop around to make it seems like you're coming from East when in fact you were flying West the whole time!

Open your eyes Total Power, don't be fooled!

Lol,I notice the round earthers are still offering commentary while excluding any factual proof for Gravity or producing the unedited photos or video footage of the entire earth as requested. Funny that

 

[Heisenberg_]

Why is it that the people trying to prove what is commonly seen as a fact are the ones who are expecting others to put in all the research when the burden of proof should be on them.

I'll prove gravity.

Hold something heavy fairly high above your keyboard plz.

Then drop it & observe what happens next.

He could hold a brick above his head and drop it, though I doubt he'd notice anything.

Because of the abuse. If your so confident to abuse the proof shouldn't require research, it should be readily available and easy to access.
So your factual proof for Gravity please.And seeing your such a smart guy,factual proof for the Big Bang and dark matter would also be handy.
The burden of proof lol.
