The points in the #40s are also damn good.

Showing flight paths on a globe earth, how a plane could fly direct route straight from sydney to santiago. But they always go north first, to Los Angeles before then flying back south to Santiago. But showing such a flight path on a flat earth map, Sydney to Los Angeles to Santiago IS actually a straight line! Many other such examples shown in these flight paths. How they make no sense on a globe map, but perfect sense on a flat map. As the routes all then are straight direct lines.

Pretty damn good.

The points he makes in the #20s are pretty interesting.

All about the spinning of the earth.

For instance, for those too weak to watch the video, here's a little something...

If the Earth spins at 1,000 mph, east to west, and a plane is flying 1,000 mph in the same direction, then it would be like it were suspended in mid air, never actually arriving at a destination. Planes are only now starting to fly at 1,000 mph. But at 500 mph it'd basically take so long for it to reach its destination as the destination would be getting further away, unable to make up ground. While a plane flying north-south, would reach a destination so much quicker because it's not fighting the rotation, however it's destination would now be somewhere else, rotated around.

False.

The plane is in the earths gravitational pull. For the same reason you don't move a few inches when you jump in the air and the earth spins from under you.

False.

The plane is in the earths gravitational pull. For the same reason you don't move a few inches when you jump in the air and the earth spins from under you.

Gravity is not an explanation for this phenomenon. Gravity has nothing to do with that anomaly of a destination spinning away from you and you not flying faster than the speed of that rotation. The destination is fixed to a point on a spinning globe. That point IS moving away from you at 1,000 mph.

Are you seriously that gullible? Of course a destination IS spinning away from where it was an hour before (on a globe earth) because that's why it once is face the sun and then 12 hrs later is no longer facing the sun. On a globe earth a destination IS spinning away from a point to another point.

Gravity has nothing to do with it.

A stationary earth, however, perfectly explains why planes can travel at say 500 mph, and reach a destination 500 miles away in an hour! Because the destination is NOT spinning away!

Of course the planet is spinning and yes of course a place is spinning away from where it was a moment before, but as I said gravity keeps us in check with it.

It's really not that complicated. We can feel acceleration and deceleration but not velocity. This is why when you have the car on cruise at 100kph you don't actually feel the velocity.

We, too, are spinning with the planet and because we are neither slowing or speeding up we do not feel it. However we are spinning along with it and it is gravity that keeps us spinning with it.

You missed the point, bro.
Read what is explained again....it has nothing to do with gravity.

Yes fair question and this has been brought up a few times ITT. I know because I have been one of the people contributing to this thread when it was on the conspiracy board.

So, why has it happened? What is the point of propagating a round earth theory if the world is actually flat? Who benefits?

Well, as cannot explained several pages back, it's because of Jesuits in China.

So now you know.

the chinese thought the world was flat up until very recently didnt they? makes ya wonder... why would such a smart race, that came up with a lot before the western world - have such silly world views? The same world views that funnily enough the majority of humanity has held for most known history

there are various theories as to you. No doubt you agree you knowing the answer, isnt proof of the earths true shape and motionlessness.

this one is interesting in regard to the military order of the Society of Jesus you mention

Ok, what the **** did I just read?

Yes a stationary earth would obviously have that example working too, but what I am saying is that is also perfectly feasible on a spinning earth because of gravity.

Oh I missed this. Thank god someone started it over again here where we can get back to discussing the topic genuinely

“I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.”

I was reading a debate between a flat earth scientist...

Please stop. There's no such thing.

Dude. Seriously. Gravity is irrelevant.

Try it yourself. There's gravity at work in your room. Get a spinning ball, a globe of the earth would be cool. Place a tack in a destination like Brazil. Place a tack in a departure point like Sydney. Pin a very long piece of string to Santiago, and hold the other end loosely in your fingers over the Sydney tack. Spin the ball, not TOO fast. But make it move. As it moves, let the string freely slide out of your fingers. By the time the Sydney tack reaches where the Santiago tack was, the string will be many miles longer (in relative terms). It would take say 1,000 miles of flying to reach a destination 500 miles away if the Earth was a spinning globe. Meaning the globe spinning at 1,000 mph and a plane flying 500 mph would mean the plane would never reach that destination. The destination would LAP the plane underneath it.

Here, I will say it -- EVERYTHING we've ever been told is a lie.

its possible

i think

 

[exe ex machina]

** Brazil ^ not Santiago.

 

[cannot]

Of course the planet is spinning.

sure sure

This is why when you have the car on cruise at 100kph you don't actually feel the velocity.

the car that is ... on the wobbling revolving spinning rotating planet ...

Is this a troll post?

This video will suffice, I'm still looking for the other one tho...

GG... if you are in a car going 100kph and you throw a tennis ball up to yourself, it doesn't fly backwards. Does this mean the car is not moving?

Everything in the car is moving at 100kph, so the ball continues moving at 100kph with the air around it doing same.

Now think of the earth as one big car.

this is like debunking 9/11 with the soda can again, or proving atmospheric refraction by shining a laser light into a fish tank

i like how often this analogy is used and for a wide range of fe theory

The corner stone of democracy and the core values of liberty and freedom - according to the man who was shouting at the ABC radio presenter last week

does 18c protect flater earthers from globehead hate speech? I hope so!

(1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:

(a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and

(b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or of some or all of the people in the group.

Sure....but the Earth is spinning 1,000 MPH. A plane traveling at 500 MPH would not reach a destination that is spinning away from it faster than the plane is traveling.

If a stolen car is traveling 200 kph on a highway, and you have a police car chasing it at 100 kph, same stretch of highway, same gravitational pull etc....guess what? The cop car would fall further and further behind it, never reaching the getaway car.

 

[exe ex machina]

The highway is the Earth (spinning at 200 KPH)
The getaway car is San Paolo Brazil traveling at the same speed (200 KPH)
The cop car is a plane leaving Sydney Australia (traveling 100 KPH) along a direct line in the same direction as the spin of the globe)

Ummm, dude, if there's a 100kmh differential between the cars, what exactly were you expecting?

I'd like to think that your last couple of posts are tongue in cheek, but it's starting to get a little worrying.
