You should go chat to some scientists about that. Why couldn't you fly over the ice wall?

Apparently one can't. Admiral Byrd or a more modern effort, with 1950's planes, reportedly they lost planes because they hit an "invisible" barrier beyond the ice walls. Just saying what's out there in this regard.

 

[Catfish Alley]

You believe that or just stating what's on YouTube videos?

And what do they say about other planets and stars being spherical? Or do we just somehow see the fat disc side of everything rather than the thin edge?

There's no certainty a planet is even a solid mass, but more like a contained pulse of electromagnetic energy.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Got to say, they've never looked like that through telescopes I've looked through.

Get a better telescope

These look like clearly faked videos.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Well, I've looked up through a couple of cheapo ones but also observatories.

Planets being pulses of energy makes even less sense. I'm not sure whether you believe in this stuff or just like looking at strange videos.

Try it for yourself then, and report back. Get a good telescope.

Anything is possible....except what isn't.

If I get the chance I shall. In the meantime, you should ask a few amateur astronomers why their efforts are yielding spherical planets rather than blobs...

I'll definitely look into it. I mean it.
The thing about all this is, there's so much counter-info/fact back and forth.
It's worthy of more research, open-mindedness, not huffing anything off as silly.

I'm still stuck on the first page of this theory to be honest. If you've been on a plane I'm not sure how you couldn't see the curvature. It doesn't even have to be a Concorde.

You cannot see curvature of the Earth even as high as 100,000 feet. It's impossible to take in the Earth's curvature unless you're like out of orbit. That's how massive the Earth is. An example would be.....a mosquito sitting on a basketball, akin to how a human in low earth orbit (100k feet) would see the structure. The horizon always still rising up to eye level....because it's PLAIN is still expanding.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Ah, so you can see it.

This is 100,000+ feet. Impossible to see curvature. Also flogging Amber Plaster again in the process



Compare to NASA photos of the Earth at 100,000+ feet, and it's obvious they're intentionally bending the Earth with CGI/Fish-eye effects to overstate the spherical earth concept. NASA does it all the time, overstating the curvature. Meanwhile, curvature math NEVER passes the test on Earth. Suaz Canel, Bridges, miles of ocean between two bays and still visible structures, mountain ranges miles away still same height as mountains miles closer. Etc.



The diameter/circumference of the Earth is wrong, and/or the curvature math is wrong, and/or we're living on a plain, not a sphere.

 

[exe ex machina]

But man has never gone higher than low earth orbit....

Only 5 mins long.

1:56 for NASA people admitting man cannot go farther than low earth orbit
2:53 for Obama admitting man cannot go farther than low earth orbit

Just to name a couple instances in that video where people admit it.

 

[exe ex machina]

Watch the entire video, always fun.

But specifically go to 9:14 where it shows "planets" are just stars. Even a good little practical test is shown inset in the video, to possibly explain why these stars are acting this way.

Once again, the authenticity of the videos needs to be questioned - there are some simple means for explaining the apparent lack of a curvature.

The sheer size of our planet, when weighed up against the limited scope of human sight, is the most obvious one.

The trouble is, one theory has a wealth of supporting evidence and the other relies on conspiracies that exist for no apparent reason other than just because. There are many conflicting notions of a flat earth - some have it with a dome, some don't. Some support an ice wall, some don't. Some support universal acceleration (though with no explanation of the mechanisms), some support repulsion theory.

 

[exe ex machina]

Seriously, you have to watch. This guy hammers it. Proves so much correct. Helmets can't swivel. Photoshop reveals fake picture of moon. Speeds of clouds should be a blur. Etc.

You havent responded to NASA and Obama themselves admitting man has never gone beyond low earth orbit.

Except of course, for all those Moon visits. https://www.quora.com/Why-havent-humans-gone-beyond-low-Earth-orbit-for-over-40-years

NASA has sent people beyond low-earth orbit, just not for some time, not because it cannot be done but because there is no demand for it.

So, to the points I raised...

Are you sure you're not wanting to believe something fantastical for other reasons? When you search for these videos do you also look at ones on 'sphere theory'? Also, what do these YouTube videos suggest is the reason for this conspiracy? All countries have been in on it for quite a while and I'm not sure what the benefit would be.

You should go chat and show these videos to someone at Uni or CSRIO. Just a scientist - not even someone with links to astronomy. Dismissing 100s of years of scientific study because of some YouTube videos seems dangerous. Like a Black Mirror episode.

Jeeez, you have managed to bring hollow earth theory into this, goooood luck.
