A friend of mine believes that the Earth is flat. I challenged him to prove it by walking off the edge...

straight edge: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

I grabbed one of the guys and tried to hold him up to the horizon. He was furious fighting me and at the end I gave up and released him.

Do you have any other prove for a flat earth? Even if you get a small guy, it's difficult to hold them up to the horizon, they just won't stay level.

The proof is so simple any half wit can run the experiment:

All you need is a camera with a sun filter.

1) Take a picture of the sun every hour from sunrise to sunset using the sun filter

2) compare the relative size of the sun on every picture.

You will notice to your amazement that the sun's relative size does not change throughout the day

Consequences:

The relative distance between your camera and the sun throughout the day is always the same.

This means:

->The sun does not move relative to the earth.
->The sun is very far away from the earth
->the earth cannot be a flat pancake
->Only possible shape the earth can be is a rotating globe.

Notice no counter argument from u.. There is none... BOOM

How long is a "straightedge" (yes, sometimes orthography matters)? 30 centimetres? May be 50 centimetres?

Now tell me:
What is the angular size of a straightedge, held at arm length, at the horizon?
How many kilometres or what part of the circumference of earth does that represent at the horizon?
What's the height of the resulting circular segment?
Should you be able to see it?

I hope you can do some simple trigonometry (but I guess "no" - otherwise you wouldn't be a flattard).

The sun size does change. There’s a video in this thread showing it. Lol

Lots of friends of mine believe the earth to be a globe.
I challenged them to prove it....THEY CAN'T

Wrong, dimwit:

Go fall off the edge, Flatty Fuckwit.

There you go!
Consistent with the last 2000 years of solar observations!!!

The sun size does not change throughout the day.

Therefore earth must be a globe.

Case closed! Get a new hobby, flatties, you have been proven wrong!

LHP, thinks he’s so advanced that we can’t conceptualize what he’s saying . He thinks his 360 degree view should be flat on the horizon on a SPHERE!!!

I agree it would be on a plane. But this asshole thinks that our view from 2m, which can see about 4 mi of horizon, would be a level one on a land mass that falls off 8” per mile ^2

What a fool. This same calculation he would use to show ships falling offf the edge and out of view

Yet, 2 ships at the opposite end of this horizon are fine and can see each other because it’s a flat circle.

What a fucking clown acting as an authority on this subject

For once, we agree. Your drawing is insufficient

Try again

Try for once proving your heliocentric spinning ball earth nobody can see or feel with something tangible and easy

The proof is so simple any half wit can run the experiment:

All you need is a camera with a sun filter.

1) Take a picture of the sun every hour from sunrise to sunset using the sun filter

2) compare the relative size of the sun on every picture.

I said the horizon would appear flat. There is a difference.


See post above. If every point on the horizon has fallen off the same amount, where are you seeing a curve left to right?


And you prove only that you don't understand it.

Still waiting on that computer program.

It's very easy to prove flat, Simply hold a straight edge up to the horizon, if it's flat, level, straight = earth flat. See ANY curve, = globe.. She flat folks...

Wow, so we don’t see a left to right curve, just the one that falls off in front of us? What a special sphere and perspective you’ve created!

LHP world - it may look flat but it’s really a ball and it’s spinning too, even though you can’t feel it. Just trust him!

You would be able to measure earth curve on a horizon

There is no denying it. No tricks, nothing. It would be self evident

We don’t live on a ball. There are no straight lines on a ball.

So you can't answer the question then? If your horizon falls off at the same distance all around you then what part is lower than another to show a curve?

Still waiting on that computer program.

Lol, okay straight line sphere boy. Good stuff, sock puppet

Okay sock. I am avoiding your straight lines on a spherical body shit for a reason. It’s trash. Sign in to your other account sock
