Any reasonable person would expect in this day an age to have many hundreds if not thousands of real images of Earth that are not composites or CGI.

Re: Need a CLEAR, non-CGI, non-photoshoped picture of Earth from space
Right guys I'm sick of this debate. Let's use logic shall we - if you are on a spinning roundabout in a playground and it spins too fast the force pushes you out. If you are on the waltzer you get stuck to the wall and you can feel the movement and you can feel the force.

Tell me why can we not feel the earth spinning? Why do we not get sucked out into space?

Please don't answer with gravity as Gravity is just a theory and is obviously easily disproved by birds being able to fly, planes being able to fly, skateboarders getting air. Etc.

Also why is sea level? Should it not be sea curve? Why don't we have tilted buildings where the earth bends?

Why is there a horizon? Horizontal line

Why do sun dials work? How do they work on a globe?


So many questions.

OP let me explain this to you in terms you might understand. The earth is not flat like the lead paint chips you ate as a kid. It is round, somewhat like the meds you take every day.

 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

Because the countering "force" produced by earth's rotation is a tiny fraction of earth's gravity.
Please don't answer with gravity as Gravity is just a theory and is obviously easily disproved by birds being able to fly, planes being able to fly, skateboarders getting air. Etc.
 Quoting: Idiot

Holy shit, are you seriously this stupid? I have a Winnie the Pooh book that I used to read to my kid where Pooh makes exactly this misunderstanding of "gravity." Congrats, you have reduced yourself to the intellectual level of a fictional stuffed bear. The ability to fly does not disprove gravity.
Also why is sea level? Should it not be sea curve? Why don't we have tilted buildings where the earth bends?

Well thank you mutt for your delusion of grandure answer. Making a mockery of someone trying to have a friendly debate shows you have a very weak demeanor and proves you can't actually answer the question like a civilized adult and you didn't even try to use your own reasoning. Another mindless ego fueled human. Laughable. Please move along and let someone else who knows how to debate reasonably answer.

You made a mockery of yourself pal. You think flight proves gravity false? An elementary school student knows enough to understand why that's false. Most children know more about basic physics than you do! Aerodynamic lift, look it up. The ability to resist gravity by applying a countering force does not disprove the existence of gravity.

a quote from your chosen evidence source from Nasa saying pretty much without a doubt... its an Image a composite CREATED from BANDS is all it is.

July 22nd, 2016 (from your links about page)

These images were created using the bands from EPIC that are within the human visual range. They have been color and brightness adjusted to represent what a conventional camera would produce.

The EPIC BANDS are the composite they strips.

Define "composite." If by composite you mean composed of images shot through red green and blue filters, then I have news for you. Every digital photograph you have ever taken with a digital camera is a composite. They all use pixels filtered for various colors of light and then combine those images. In consumer cameras this process is hidden from the user and done internally in the camera. The images I linked to are a "composite" in that sense, but so are the images from the cell phone in your pocket.

Strawman. Your questions have already been answered if you'd bother to do your research. The problem is you refuse to even understand the first question, which itself illustrates your stupidity by your asking it. You think flight disproves gravity. It doesn't, no more than rockets disprove gravity. Just because a force can be applied to offset gravity does not disprove gravity.

You have all the intelligence of a fictional stuffed bear, which is both hilarious and frightening at the same time. You are now a plaything for my amusement, trying to educate you further would be a waste of my time; you have the intellectual capacity for science of a 2 year old and yet you have the ability to type sentences... Remember people, this dumbasses have the right to vote...

Why would you assume I have not done research? What these ideas come out of thin air?

I used to be like you until I studied and until I did my own research.

All you go on about is gravity, answer my other questions and I am no strawman I am simply man.

Why do you assume I can vote? Why would I want to? Also who are you asking? Also what's that got to do with me asking you to answer questions and you not answering them still? Lol

Also I didn't even say what I believed you just assumed and you know what they say about assuming.

The argument from the start was the OP wanted to see one pic of the earth taken with a real camera showing what it looks like without needing to be composited, banded or a representation through any kind of image manipulation and you cannot show that, refute that or even argue why it doesnt exist. So ya would have been better served to stay off the forums today because each new answer you give only shows your inability to address the questions brought up by the OP and others... in other words your work is done here... fail... now ... next ---->

Right guys I'm sick of this debate. Let's use logic shall we - if you are on a spinning roundabout in a playground and it spins too fast the force pushes you out. If you are on the waltzer you get stuck to the wall and you can feel the movement and you can feel the force.

Tell me why can we not feel the earth spinning? Why do we not get sucked out into space?
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

The centripetal force is equal to less than 1/2 of one percent of gravity.

Please don't answer with gravity as Gravity is just a theory and is obviously easily disproved by birds being able to fly, planes being able to fly, skateboarders getting air. Etc.
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

Cavendish experiment proves gravity exists. Birds and planes fly because they create lift to oppose gravity. They stop producing lift and they come back down. Skateboarders come right back down.

Also why is sea level? Should it not be sea curve?
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

Refers to the elevation. Sea level is a uniform distance from the center.

Why don't we have tilted buildings where the earth bends?
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

You think you can see a tilt of less than a degree?

Why is there a horizon? Horizontal line
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

Because the Earth curves away from you. On a flat Earth it would not be a sharp line defined by the height of the observer.

Why do sun dials work? How do they work on a globe?
 Quoting: Answer this please 74806777

Not only do they work on a globe, they ONLY work correctly on a globe. Flat Earth still can't work out how the Sun should rise due East for all observers on the equinoxes and in the SouthEast in the Northern hemisphere winter.

Wrong. It's an image designed to represent what a conventional camera would produce. It's not the same kind of camera you have in your cell phone, obviously. Neither are most astronomical CCDs. But the filters used and data processing can be done in such a way as to produce an image that represents what a normal camera would see. It's no different with my own astrophotography. Does that mean my images are fakes or just art? Nope.

The argument from the start was the OP wanted to see one pic of the earth taken with a real camera showing what it looks like without needing to be composited, banded or a representation through any kind of image manipulation and you cannot show that, refute that or even argue why it doesnt exist. So ya would have been better served to stay off the forums today because each new answer you give only shows your inability to address the questions brought up by the OP and others... in other words your work is done here... fail... now ... next ---->

but its still a way cure avatar and sig...cant take that away from ya :)

And he got it on page one and ignored it. He was presented with it again and called it CGI.
Here it is again.
