Re: FLAT EARTH TARDS, EXPLAIN THIS PICTURE TO ME. I'LL WAIT.
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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722


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

On a clear day, easily. It is possible see up to about 300km depending on the clarity of the atmosphere. Humans also perceive verticality very well.

It should absolutely be perceptible.

There are many examples of vertical objects progressing to the horizon.

Have you ever verified yourself with lasers? I haven't. I'd love to! I have with scopes though.

Using the stars as a reference would be falling back to the assumptive "representational" model where you can get the same result regardless of the assumptive premise.

 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.
 Quoting: Bernd1911


Have you actually tried it? I doubt it, because you are wrong about the precision of the human eye.

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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79496395


Its easy. And I even made a small mistake because I had the circumference in miles instead of kilometers, this kind of error can crash space probes into distant planets. It turns out the difference is even less:

1 meter additional radius (if it would go the whole circle) would make a differene in circumference of

2 * pi * 1m = 6.28m

Now we have only a tiny fraction of this, only 28km of 40000km. So the difference scales down by the same factor:

2 * pi * 1m * 28 / 40000 = 0.0043m = 4.3mm

Less than half a centimeter.

So here is the LOW IQ of Ballers... they see this post and look at the black and white hand drawn pictoral of the power poles and lines top being flat... TOTALLY disregarding the ACTUAL photo which shows the top of the bridge curving at the same curve as the bottom of the power poles and lines....

If you are ever in a really long straight hallway and you look at the end of it you will notice it becomes small at the very end, kinda like the hallway in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory. When you look up at the ceiling and wall where they meet you will notice the two corners begin to sort of come together and if the hallway is really long you will see them actually come together at the far far end and drop. Its easy to test for yourself and that is what happens with these power lines. In fact if there were two sets of lines side by side and you were in the middle between them you would see the same effect. Also, if you use a zoom lens you will see what appears to be a curve and end of the poles become visible as though you are only a few feet away and yet they are completely disappeared.


This is basic stuff that even low iq people can understand.

I can understand how you came to that conclusion, however, you came to that conclusion due to faulty logic.

You need to first understand what a synchronous orbit is. If you understand the physics of it then you will realise the flaw in your logic.

I'll give you a simple analogy.

Imagine yourself holding a taught rope which is tied to a metal pole, and where you are rotating around this pole. As you circle the pole, you are always facing the centre axis of rotation (the pole) due to the forces keeping you there (the rope).

Your orbit around the pole is said to be synchronous.

Now, imagine the rope is tied around your waist so you are able to turn as you circle the pole.

As long as your rotational speed (turning in a circle) is constant, you will always face the pole at the same time interval no matter what your position you happen to be at in the orbit around the pole.

That's about as clear as I can explain it in layman terms. I'm happy to detail the actual physics of it, and I think you would find it quite interesting too.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77156420


I understand what you are saying but if that were the case then there would be no need to compensate by adding 3 min 56 seconds to the actual rotational time of the earth would there? Happy to hear any further explanations you might have.

Earths rotation, 1 turn, is 360 deg and is completed in a fraction of time less than it takes for the observation of the sun to appear in the same place in the sky at a fixed point on the next day. Because a fraction of the orbit is completed too. If earth did not go around the sun then the sun would appear in the same place every 360 degrees turn.

. 24 hours is not and was not ever said to mean 360deg rotation of Earth.

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.

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?

I'd just like to note that most globe Earth proponents say that the Earth can't be "a plane" because it would be different from the others that are supposedly a sphere.

Yet, that is what Neil D Tyson suggests. That Earth is the lone gourd/pear among planets. So, if he can suggest that with no photographic evidence to support, but the same photoshopped pics from NASA depicting a perfectly round sphere, then neither has any proof. Also, the accepted "science" is that it is leaning ona n axis but, never do these pics get displayed demonstrating this lean. They make sure to always show Earth studiously upright.

It is all such a farce. I am 100% convinced the Earth is NOT moving. It's not spinning and it's not rotating at stupendous speeds across the universe. It is set in a foundation in one spot.

Earth terrestrial sphere can not be physical because measured land forms do not fit on it unless they are distorted going north or south of the equator, this makes the ball Earth theory not valid.

Anyone have a Earth terrestrial globe showing the correct sizes and dimensions of all of the continents and oceans, no there are none.

You can not use the distorted ball Earth terrestrial globes to judge how the Earth should look.

Globe terrestrial Earth degree of longitude at the equator is 69 miles, at 30 degrees north south 60 miles, at 45 N S 49 miles, at 60 degrees N S only 35 miles per degree longitude. No accurate depiction.

Ball believers have a looked at a physical terrestrial Earth globe, do some study measure things, you will see.

Earth is flat and non-rotating, zero proof of Earth being a spinning water ball in a 'space vacuum.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72821184


I'm using software to calculate where in the sky exactly the stars and the planets should be located tonight at a certain time, taking my latitude and longitiude into account and then I point my telescope at exactly these calculated locations and there they are spot on in the middle of my eye piece. It works. Every. Time.

The software is using the ball model of the earth. Apparently this model is the easiest method that allows to calculate where the celestial objects should appear in the sky at any given moment in time.

Tell me please: Why would objects in a hypothetical flat world sky mimic ecaxtly the movements that would otherwise naturally occur in a globe world? How did the flat world creators manage to make it so that they always seem to rotate around an axis that in northern places points very steep upward into the sky, that appears horizontal when i am near the equator and even pointed downwards (or reversed and pointing south into the sky) when I am in the southern hemisphere?

How does a flat-earther explain that the starfield is rotating counter-clockwise around Polaris in the nothern hemisphere and at the same time(!) is also rotating clockwise around Sigma Octantis when looking at it while being south of the equator? How would you even try to begin to explain this in a flat world without your head exploding after 5 minutes?

What crazy multidimensional hyper-shape must the curtain that has the stars drawn onto it have so that it can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time without showing any distortions anywhere at all when looked at it from a flat ground surface?


With the globe model I can explain all these effects to a 5 year old and it is absolutely intuitive to understand. I have yet to see any flat earth model that would even begin to explain any of these effects.

Re: FLAT EARTH TARDS, EXPLAIN THIS PICTURE TO ME. I'LL WAIT.
Earth is flat and non-rotating, no amount of imaginative arguments and wishful thinking will make Earth a spinning water ball in a 'space vacuum.

Anyone have a Earth terrestrial globe showing the correct sizes and dimensions of all of the continents and oceans, no there are none.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74163062


Actually, there's plenty, they're just expensive and need to be very large if you want them to show the surface as anything but smooth.

This is the problem with people like you, you don't even understand the very basics of why some globes have the warning label about them not being for certain uses.

The Earth itself if presented on a globe with true scaling done properly is smoother than a tournament legal pool cueball!

What this means is that the dips and protrusions in the Earth's crust are actually less pronounced than an object we work very hard to make as smooth as we can.

This is the problem with you flerfs, you so poorly understand what you're supposed to see if the earth is in fact roughly spherical that you constantly think you've found these gotchas which are in fact exactly what you'd expect to see etc if the earth was "spherical".

Every last one of you I've ever spoken with insists that you understand and KNOW the globe model better than the people who actually believe in it...

And yet you obviously don't because your kind keeps posting beautiful examples that show earth is a ball as socalled proofs of it being flat!

If you don't actually have a thorough working understanding of what you should see and etc if the earth is round, you will never ever successfully disprove it!

Give 'em time.

Being an unemployed basement dweller means they don't have to wake up until mom yells downstairs that their Hot Pockets are ready.

Do you think that ad hominem attacks stop the truth? No, they just out you for who you are: a globe earth shill.
