Mega Thread The Flat Earth Mega thread.

Interesting, it's funny.

I am no flat Earther but I find it extremely weird and confusing that say when I am on the ground I can see a ship sail over the horizon, but if I was elevated 10 miles in the air I can't see the curve of the Earth.

Think of a circle first. So if you look at the whole circle you see it as round. Now just zoom into a small part of that circle. Now you don't see the whole cricle any more. But still you see a curvature. Similarly you making the cirlce larger and look into the same point. When the circle get large the difference between one point and the next point looks (gets) lower. Now think in 1000 km scale

Some curvature is still perceptible (but only just). Standing at a higher vantage point will increase your ability to see the curvature.

You can try this with google earth:

start at high zoom level at your location, or anywhere — so that Earth would actually feel flat, as it does normally
use middle mouse button to rotate camera to get view parallel to Earth or similar
gradually zoom out showing how the curvature becomes more and more apparent as you go deeper to space
f inally you are looking at the Earth from space. Now let the person you're trying to convince rotate it and play with it in other ways.

After that show several images of the Earth taken from space to confirm that what one sees in Google Earth is what the astronauts see.

There's been pics taken of the earth from Chinese, Russian, Indian, EU satellite's/orbiters. People suggesting they are ALL conspiracies when all these independent images show the same thing? i mean come on!

But oh yeah Shaq said so , so i am convinced

I get what your saying about the Earth size being so big that it can be deceiving your eyes into thinking it's flat which I do accept as a reasonable explanation, still it seems weird though.

Best way to see the curvature is to fly a concorde plane. See it for yourself, if i post a video thats dismissed as fish eye immediately. Here is a video.





See some curvature is visible at 2.00



These are amateur rocket launches, not connected with NASA, any government, nor its connected to the so called illuminati

So FE FE FE FE and bang fish eye.


Regarding your point, i would say this. If you dont have an object to test your horizon on, you will not see the curvature. Like city of melbourne. You can see the buildings sinking as you float away from Melbourne. But imagine if nothing there. Can you actually see anything? you cannot. Cause of the scale of the earth, its huge. When you fly a commercial airline, how will you test the curvature consider your window is tiny and we are at 36,000 ft? the above video is a great example of this, how it seems flat, but depending on where you are you can see the curvature too.

Rejoice flat-earthers, for ye have a new hero to champion your cause - exalted mental mammoth Shaquille O'Neal!

Because when he has driven from New York to LA it seemed flat to him.

Congrats, so all billionaires are the most intelligent on earth then.

Just when you thought you cant sink any lower

Oh look another meme! while posting pics of shaq and lyrics of RHCP to prove the point. Sheesh.

beatles, not rhcp

Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings

You are on fire! but atleast you have stopped posting about airlines and satellites

O'Neale is a complete moron. A very very rich one, but a moron nonetheless.

Anyone who has ever heard this guy talk, at all, would attest to this.

Shaq has looked closely at a basketball and concluded it's flat.

 

[cannot]

good one

 

[Judd2Sewell]

heard hawkins talk?

beep beep

No, I've never heard Hawkins talk. He uses some computer translator instead.

Have you ever heard Shaq talk? He'd be lucky to have two brain cells to rub together.

Absolute beast of a baller though.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Well it's not hard to put a ball in a hoop when you're two inches from the ****ing hoop and weigh a million pounds

Sorry. I remain unconvinced & a nay-sayer.

Next you'll be telling me that all of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler & Newton were in on the NASA conspiracy.....hundreds of years ahead of time.
