Prove or disprove FLAT EARTH | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64698495 You see rivers sometimes run uphill. That's why Dams do not work well. All standing water is convex. People go out and measure the curve in the water. It's so dam cool. The Nile is 30 percent of the Earths diameter and runs 363 miles up hill before it can run down hill. When the water goes on the down hill side it picks up crazy speed. That is why people vacation there to ride the crazy current. People keep saying water finds it level but the Nile River proves the Earth is a Ball. The River prove we live on a ball. End of discussion. |

As proven by cool things like the Hubble Space Telescope and even Space Faring Probes to other Planets in our Solar System. The Earth is a Round Sphere Mars and Jupiter are Round Spherical Masses The Moon is a Round Sphere Orbiting Earth in a Spherical, Orderly, Predictable Path. That is All [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Check this out and then please stop wasting all these Good Peoples time with your Obtuse and Idiotic Argument.

Both sides of the debate have anomalies.... Quoting: anonymous kiwi 73431310 The flat earthers state that the UN Flag is the true map of earth and that Antarctic is actually a large ice wall encircling the land and sea. There appear to be no credible evidence of anyone ever circling the globe by air from North and South route. Firing a rocket to escape high enough to hit the "DOME" is not really feasible .... HOWEVER Flat earthers why not try and circumnavigate Antarctica.. The flat earth narrative is that Captain Cook attempted this but travelled for months and over 42000 miles and didnt come back to the starting point. Replicating this voyage is doable and provable to end the debate one way or another So all of the other planets in our solar system are flat too? Is this what is being taught in universities? So all of the other planets in our solar system have life on them? Is that what is being taught in universities? Because one thing appears one way does not mean all things must be that way. Saturn has rings, they happen to appear flat, are you going to argue them away because no other planets have them? Don't be a tard. |

There is no weather balloon or blimp holding it up. Hundreds of amateur astronomers have photographed it also. Once you establish the ISS is there and orbiting the earth, FE is not possible. BTW, I have posted this more than 10 times and FEers just blow it off by ignoring the post or some BS response. Never even trying to see if it's true. |

The wave action is just so limited. Because all the standing water on the Earth is Convex, you don't need to worry about an Tsunami effecting anything but the local area. They don't travel across vast Oceans due to the climb they would have to take. It just takes the energy right out of them. Just think of the lives that have been saved because all the standing water is convex. Today when you are feeling thankful eating your Turkey remember what a blessing the ball is, remember all the lives that have been saved. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77256626 Canada 11/28/2019 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They say the ISS can be seen because it is reflecting sunlight to the viewers eyes. How is it that it can be seen for such a long time? Eight minutes would have it travel a distance approximately the width of the USA. How is it constantly reflecting sunlight to a viewers eyes for that duration? Anyone who has played with mirrors and sunlight know that the angle has to be precise for the viewer to see the mirror light up. |

I would rather fund a trip to circumnavigate directly south through the south pole. If you came out the other side, it proves the globe. But if not.................. we need some GLPers with maritime links to organize an ocean voyage to do this circuit of Antarctica. your 2nd point , firstly you are not allowed to explore Antactica and secondly if its flat you would never get across it. |

With a household intermediate telescope, on top of Mt Everest, one should be able to see the ENTIRE disc, everything on the continent. Every major city skyline, The Pyramids, at least the damned ice wall. This theory has been around long enough to prove something as silly as a massive ice wall surrounding our perimeter. Where does magma, lava, liquid rock come from?? From the depths of a flat earth? So, what we float on a magma ocean? and beneath it is more ice? How does flat earth explain volcanic activity? How does flat earth generate a magnetic field to protect us from the sun. We certainly need UV protection for our skin. Flat earth has every hole imaginable in it’s logic. |

[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] just click formula The demonstrable effect on earth is only possible all over due to us being a globe, otherwise it would only happen in certain spots of a flat spinning disk. The disk doesn't spin neither does the earth. in short the earth's shape or rotation has nothing to do with Coriolis effect. It's likely an electromagnetic affect or force of some kind. And now we have hit the cognitive dissonance wall. Why because I refuse to accept scientific dogma? Tesla did the same thing and look what happened to him. Just stop. Comparing Tesla to you flat earth retards is the most goddamn dumb thing I've ever read on here in my decade on glp. Congratulations. |
