If you care to use your critical thinking, you will find that neither the "standard" flat earth or the assumed round earth adequately describe all of the observations.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79496395


The round earth model explains every observable phenomenon in a very simple and elegant way. And it is easy to understand and leaves no questions unanswered.

The flat earth model on the other hand fails to explain even the most basic observations and leaves a ton of questions unanswered.
 Quoting: Bernd1911


Prove it to me then.

Explain it "all in a simple and elegant way".

You say the words, but I doubt you have ever actually tried to verify that assumption of simplicity. All you do is present in an arrogant and self-satisfied manner, as if you had figured out the "facts" yourself, and aren't just regurgitating what you have learned.

Amusing.

What is this simple, elegant model you speak of that explains both curvature, and 2-point perspective (vertical is always parallel) simultaneously?

And why can I see the tops of distant thunderhead clouds when the bottom part of the cloud is below the horizon?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77545963


Your other questions do seem easiest to explain with a round earth model, though there is a fundamental "assumption" of roundness to contextualize your very observations.

A different set of assumptions can describe our observations better in some cases where the round earth model falls down.

I'll add this observation to this question though; Why do you see clouds in elevation (side-on) on the horizon, rather than tilting away from us?

In a round earth model as a cloud progress "over" the horizon we should get a significant view of the underside of the cloud (especially cumulonimbus), due to gravity.

No?

 Quoting: nimmerfall

Not an Engineer, but since you want to go there, here is an interesting "engineering" deliverable I was involved with.

The geometry: two parallel steel rails, one on the ground, the other one metre above. Horizontal distance of 28 kilometers, with signal boxes every 4 kilometres. Quantities for both top and bottom rails were exactly the same!!!

At 28 kilometres, the top rail should be significantly longer. No?

Exactly the same length for top rail and bottom rail in the 3D model, qauntaties taken from the model, installed perfectly (usually his would be ordered as a combined kilometer length for both top and bottom rails, so wouldn't be noticed).

Please Explain?

This is one of the projects that made me question round earth. I only "happened" to look at the lengths out of luck and discovered the aberation.

Also made me consider past projects where we HAD accounted for the curve of the earth, and most of those projects always had left over material.

Re: FLAT EARTH TARDS, EXPLAIN THIS PICTURE TO ME. I'LL WAIT.
According to Nasa the earth rotates at 1000 mph. Every day, year in year, it rotates at this constant speed.

Imagine your location at midday is degree 66.6 on the equator on the 360 degree circle of earth. Everyday at midday your position would be degree 66.6

Now draw on a piece of paper the sun in the middle and the earth to its right. Your position at degree 66.6 is facing the sun hence it is daylight. Call this summer or June 6th for reference.

Now bearing in mind the rotational speed of earth is constant you will always be at degree 66.6 at midday no matter what day of the year it is.

Now zoom forward six months. According to Nasa the earth revolves around the sun and the time it takes to rotate is one earth year. On dec 6th if you draw the same picture with the sun in the middle the earth should now be on the left of the sun having made 180 degrees of journey over these six months.

The problem for NASA though is at midday Dec 6th the earth's rotation on its axis means the 66.6 degree position in now facing away from the sun and therefore it should be night. Yet all our observation and experience proves to us it is always daylight on the earth on dec 6th at the equator, year in and year out.

So NASA and other scientists are barefaced lying to you but what do you expect from an organisation founded by the Satanist Jack Parsons, Walt Disney, L. Ron fucking Hubbard and various Nazi scientists spirited over during operation Paperclip?

For those who question the motive of this deception the answer is very simple. The flat immovable non rotating earth with the sun, moon and stars revolving around the earth at the centre of Creation working like a clock to aid man in knowing the times and seasons proves the Bible is true and that there is a designer Creator and that your life does have meaning and purpose rather than the fantastical nihilistic notion that everything came out of nothing and that you are noting more than a random accident with an unknown cause and no purpose whatsoever.

Too many of you will deny this reality and even people like Richard Dawkins when probed will revert to some sort of intelligent creator as long as it's not God (simulation theory etc).

So globe earth shills answer my example above how it is possible with a constant rotation of the earth axis to have daylight at midday in winter and summer when the earth is facing the sun in summer and facing away from the sun in winter according to the NASA model if you can. I am eager to see the intellectual contortions you will come up for this solitary example out of many that you have been lied to since you were born. That is why in the Bible God tells us Satan has deceived the whole world, not a quarter, not a half but the whole world, get it?

Prove it!

You state a massive assumption there as if it was fact.

It is also categorically wrong.

Find me a single example of non-parallel vertical objects due to gravity.

I'll give you a few you can start with:
*Wind turbines across hundreds of kilometres - always vertical and parallel.
*Buildings across a huge urban area - always vertical and parallel.

*Power poles on very long straight roads - always vertical and parallel.

I'll wait.

In case you want to say that the angle is imperceptible because it is too small to see, here's the numbers:
For every 111km horizontal distance, there is 1degree of tilt "assumed" on a round earth.

Humans are highly attuned to vertical alignment (we can see very quickly when large vertical objects show any signs of non-verticalness - self-preservation). An average human can perceive 100th of a degree angle, highly tuned individuals can perceive up to 1000th of a degree.

So, do you have any support for your statement?

Leonardo Da Vinci proved this with a large pane of glass and telescopes.

He traced what he observed through the glass, and used telescopes to see detail at the point of perspective (vanishing point).

This is how he figured out 1 and 2 point perspective, and is why all drawing boards since then have a fixed vertical straight edge, meaning all vertical lines are parallel.

It is literally what we observe, so you are so very fundamentally wrong.

Vertical is ALWAYS parallel, otherwise 1 and 2 point perspective drawing doesn't work.

Have you ever tried to draw flat objects on a curved surface in perspective?

Every single non-parallel surface requires a deferment vanishing point... that is just not the reality we see.

Would it be significantly more though? The difference between the circumference of the Earth and the circumference one meter up is 6 meters. And that is over 40,000 km. So your difference over 28 km would be less than a centimeter. Don't believe me? Do the math. I used the Equatorial radius of 6,378 km (or 6378000 meters) and got the circumference for that versus 6378001 meters. Only a little over 6 meters difference.

Exactly. You cannot see this with your bare eyes. How would you look at two towers 111km apart at the same time and be able to see one degree angle between them? Do you have any idea how tall these towers would have to be?

But it can certainly be done with laser interferometry or if you don't have the tech then just measure the angle in both places at the same time with the stars as reference, this has been done already long before we had laser interferometers to determine the earth radius.

you're allowing the flattard troll to distract you. Nowhere in the Bible does it claim Earth is flat.
 Quoting: nimmerfall


You're right, it doesn't. What it does say it it's fixed and immovable which is exactly what I cited and therefore the questioning of the heliocentric model. You should pay more attention to what was actually posted before spewing your bile saying I said the Bible said something when I did not.

That's too much curvature.
Is the world that small?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76838710


that picture looks fake, and then video in the link looks like a cgi clip

go to the lake in google maps, there's a bridge that goes all the way across

go to street view on that bridge, it's flat as fuck as far as the eye can see

I'll give you a few you can start with:
*Wind turbines across hundreds of kilometres - always vertical and parallel.
*Buildings across a huge urban area - always vertical and parallel.

*Power poles on very long straight roads - always vertical and parallel.

I'll wait.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79496395


They are not parallel.



In case you want to say that the angle is imperceptible because it is too small to see, here's the numbers:
For every 111km horizontal distance, there is 1degree of tilt "assumed" on a round earth.
 Quoting: Bernd1911


Exactly. You cannot see this with your bare eyes. How would you look at two towers 111km apart at the same time and be able to see one degree angle between them? Do you have any idea how tall these towers would have to be?

But it can certainly be done with laser interferometry or if you don't have the tech then just measure the angle in both places at the same time with the stars as reference, this has been done already long before we had laser interferometers to determine the earth radius.


yes so the curve of the earth is far too large to perceive, yes exactly

this means the OP and the picture of curvature is a lie

In 3 miles a 6 foot man should disappear behind the curve.

The geometry: two parallel steel rails, one on the ground, the other one metre above.

At 28 kilometres, the top rail should be significantly longer. No?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79496395


Yes. It will be 7 millimeters longer.
 Quoting: Bernd1911


lol...

Show your working?

... but I believe you are about right!

I never actually did the math on that one until just then, and just assumed there was a significant difference.

See the danger of assumption?

Not so significant in that particular case... eh?

Thanks for the effort. I have egg on my face for not considering that example better.

Though, my bad example addressed and put aside, how do you reconcile the fact that all vertical surfaces are parallel?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722


No. This is an (almost) horizontal structure, it is easier to look along such a thing and see its actually curved.

You can't see from that perspective that the poles are not parallel, for this you would have to look at it from the side and then the first and the last pole would be too far apart to judge their angle.
