[@karame463]

Krassz ah, it they are. The vast majority of them, anyway. Their desire to believe the Earth is flat comes from their desire for the Bible to be true. The Bible has been shown to not align with what we know about the world time and time again, so they are trying to fix that (at least for one topic) be "proving" the Earth is flat. The problem is that they cannot prove that which is not true.

Funny but as Ello above says their is a ice shelf and a continent called Antarctica which is land holding the get this"SEA LEVEL" . Explain how we are a sphere at 24901 miles and eight inches curved for every mile sqaured but their is absolutely no curve from say cali to florida or anywhere you ask google to calculate. And you cannot observe any curve as well. Builders dont build to the curve either. Gravity is only density and boyancy , simple as that. Don't need seven books of theorys that never add up to tell us this. So the earth spins 1000 miles plus an hours west to east with the atmosphere but a little stupid bee or bug says na , i think ill go against the atmosphere and gravity today to eat. Or clouds going different dirrections at same time. Or a little bird flying when trillions of curved ocean water on a spinning globe upside down is held but the bird says screw you today gravity im flying. Where is the pictures of upside down curved ocean and people and buildings with these ten thousand plus satellites ? Don't you think that would be amazing stuff to see. Or say when they take the moon or earth pictures. Where the heck is all the space junk by the millions and the satalites by the ten thousands. All you see is one CGI SAtelite at a time. It goes on and on and on when you look into it. This isn't counting the fake moon landing, Hitlers scientists starting NASA, all the fake education and indoctrination going on. It gets deep. All of this is too make us dependent on scienctists , exactely like doctors and our f'd up medical crises with sheeple that depend on these guys and trust them are dying by the millions. And people like us that use our brains come up with natural ways to cure cancers and diabetes and tons of other diseases to save our friends and families daily. Wake up sheeeeeeeeeplllllllllle. Please, its too hard fighting Cognitive Dissonance . All we want to do is help people see the truth and that damn near everything they say and do is a lie for money.

They think Gravity is a myth. Some flat earthers say, it is weight, and some FE say it is buoyancy, which is the cause for we sticking towards the earth. But they won't understand that the formula for Weight is Mass × *gravity* and for buoyancy is density × volume × *gravity* Lol

[@KenPotter]

Easiest way to prove/disprove flat-earth: "star exposure photography". Above the North Pole - circle; above equator - sweeps straight across; What about southern hemisphere? If it looks like the north-pole circles, then the flat-earth model fails.

[@MayIPleaseAskYou]

Ken Potter may I please ask you to help me answer this question When you go up in a hot air balloon and spend an hour in the air, how far away from the take off point are you likely to be, given the spin of the earth? 🌏 Thank you 👩🏻‍💻 From Virgin Hot Air Balloon Flight How far will we fly? Hot air balloons can’t be steered in the normal sense so they travel on the wind with skilled pilot’s controlling the altitude by heating the air inside the balloon. How far you’ll fly depends on the wind speed. It also depends on how long it takes the pilot to find a suitable landing spot. You could fly a relatively short distance or as far as 20 miles. www.virginballoonflights.co.uk/faq/

[@GaijinMecha]

it's fucking insane... literally a simple camera and a few hours. This is dunning Kreuger at work

[@rayopeongo]

+MayIPleaseAskYou "When you go up in a hot air balloon and spend an hour in the air, how far away from the take off point are you likely to be, given the spin of the earth?" The spin of the earth will have almost nothing to do with how far you travel and in which direction. The local weather in your area will have a much bigger effect. The only effect that the spin of the earth has is that the Coriolis effect caused by the earth's spin does cause weather systems to generally move in certain directions at certain latitudes, but the winds in those weather systems, your position relative to them and the relative strengths of those weather systems will have much more effect on your movement. For instance, the Coriolis effect causes high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere to spin clockwise. So, if you are north of the center of the high pressure system, you will probably move east. If you are east of the center, you will probably move south. If you are south of the center, you will probably move west. If you are west of the center, you will probably move north. If you are dead center, you will experience calm winds and won't move too much at all.

[@ianmcneely2446]

Ken Potter No, the easiest way is to walk away from a tall building.

[@cryptojihadi265]

Exactly, as an astrophotgrapher the FE model fails massively. Even in the northern hemisphere a German Equatorial mount wouldn't work, but in the southern hemisphere it's ridiculously obvious. Just about everything that happens in the southern hemisphere disproves the disc model, including flight times and directions.

[@aidanjt]

When Robert Simmon said "It is photoshopped, but it has to be...", that crucial bit of context our flattard deliberately left out was what he would obviously say after that, is because space telescopes don't have a bayer filter that's just slapped on top of the CCD as used in your typical consumer and professional cameras, but rather robotically swappable colour filters that allows for extremely high scientific quality discrete colour channels in all the frequency bands of interest, not just red, green, and blue, those channels then have to be processed to produce a colour image that's within our visual range (and indeed, wont be dropped by the jpeg codec), and that the intensity doesn't wash out the final image, like say, an image of the Sun.

WHEN he said that , over 30 years ago, it was technically true. but those flat-earther idiots claim that quote proves every single picture NASA has EVER made is fake...crazy!

(aliens, god, I dunno.) 2) If the earth is motionless and the universe revolves around it, humans go from being unimportant specs of dust in the cosmos to being super duper important (since everything literally revolves around them.) 3) If there's an infinite stretch of ice past antarctica instead of a dome then maybe there's more "worlds" out there, buried in their own ice holes. qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-c57828dc26b550ee91a3cc9ab42796a9

Garett Macera This is insane. For real why do we have sunrises? Not your shrinking sun bullshit. The sun doesn't shrink. Get yourself a piece of dark glass and watch. And why do we have two celestial poles in the sky? That'd be impossible on a flat earth. But of course you won't answer. You guys never answer.

[@soloist2001]

theCoffinSeller not sure about why you've responded in this manner..i simply pointed out to the poster that the reason we cant see hundreds / thousands in one direction along the surface is because atmospheric conditions prevent it, not directly due to the curvature of earth...also since u mention it, i have seen multiple time lapse videos of the sun "getting smaller" at sunset, so u may go argue with other you tube channels on that. u have no idea who I am, and yet u are immediately willing to make a psychological determination about my sanity based on a few sentences.....do u always get this defensive when someone presents an idea that contradicts the dogmatic beliefs that modern science has "figured it all out"? I dont presume to know the answers to all the questions...but I sure as he'll dont just take "their word for it"

[@theCoffinSeller]

Garett Macera You saw videos with a time lapse - I challenge you to get yourself a piece of dark gpass and watch it yourself. The sun does not shrink. You do take everithing for granted because you do not challenge your own contradictory beliefs. Why do we observe two celestial poles? Why do we have sunsets? Challenge yourself!

[@soloist2001]

theCoffinSeller for the sake of your retinas I wouldn't suggest staring at the sun for hours to watch the suns movement if u are simply using some "dark glass"...u need to filter over 99% of the suns light to be safe...welders mask would suffice for a short time...i am certainly willing to test these assumptions myself

When I first heard of the flat earth conspiracy, I assumed it was a thought experiment! Prove the earth is flat. Prove it is round. See the evidence from both perspectives, and determine why we know for certain it is NOT flat! Unfortunately, human ignorance had reached a level I couldn't have imagined.

[@sarah-jaynemcdonald2594]

Dave's Think Tank it's not a thought experiment, I wish it was, it's alot more nefarious than that. It's a government psyological operation. The aim is to get the critical thinkers 'conspiricy theorists' sounding stupid in order to discredit the rest of them. So it'll be "oh, you question 911, you must believe the earth is flat too"

[@dabbingood2930]

Dave's Think Tank, Really - Human Ignorance is what you call it.. Well I think people that believe we are stuck upside down to a ball of mostly water spinning, twirling, twisting, and wobbling through space at 2,000,000 MPH is the exact definition of ignorance and indoctrination. See all Flat Earthers believed in that magical cartoon ball theory, but we were able to look at the Facts and see that it clearly is a bunch of BS.. just like it sounds when you step back and look at it.

[@dabbingood2930]

Sarah-Jayne Mcdonald Clearly you haven't really looked at the evidence for your magical ball theory either. Yet you have this wild theory as to why Flat Earth is becoming a movement. I will tell you why - it is because in all reality it is the truth. Go out and prove/show/measure the curvature of earth. I will help you out.. The Heliocentric model says it should be 8 inches times the mile squared. Not that hard.. 3 miles it is 6 feet of curvature.. 40 miles and it is 1066 feet of curvature. So go out and prove this is really happening.. You can't and most like won't try. That is the cold hard fact of this movement and why it continues to grow every day.. There is NO observable or measurable curvature. And clearly your heliocentric math shows that it should be visible and measurable.. I know it is hard to think you have been lied too and deceived your entire life.. But that is what has been done to us all.".Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." - Mark Twain (maybe)

[@marcallain5447]

@Dabbin Good There is loads of evidence, including photos and videos, that prove the earth is a globe, and exactly zero evidence that it is flat. The problem is that when people fall for these conspiracy theories, they tend to disregard any evidence that contradicts their conclusion, and accept any pseudo-evidence that confirm them. I'm sorry to break it to you, but the earth is indeed a globe, and I think you should put the pipe down and maybe read a book or two.

[@dabbingood2930]

Marc Allain Clearly once again, you just talk about all this evidence you have for a globe.. So tell me where are all these pictures that show of a globe?? There is only about 12 that I know about that actually show a "globe".. NASA admits that 11 of them are CGI.. made from putting "strips" together.. The other one is from the Apollo mission.. And if you believe they actually went tot the moon... well that is just another kind of "stupid" There is no evidence for a Flat Earth.. Why do you think this movement is growing by the day.. Why do you think the president is talking about it??? Not because it is so little conspiracy theory. The SIMPLE FACT is.. there is nothing a person can do to show and measure the curvature.. You can't fly in a plane and film it.. you can't climb a mountain and show it.. There is nothing you can do.. except show NASA photos or fisheye lens shot to claim their is curvature.. SORRY to TELL you that isn't Fu(king Science.. It has to be observable and repeatable.. SO I will say it again. You have NO evidence for your belief of a magical spinning ball. Your Heliocentric math for the curvature.. says we should be able to see and measure it.. But it just isn't there.. and we have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.. How about you get your nose out of the damn books.. and go out into the REAL WORLD.. and PROVE that the things you READ, and why you think you are soooo smart. Are actually TRUE... LMAO.. I read it in a book.. So that makes it true.. dumbarse.

My best friend tried to tell me that the earth was flat because the shadow from this recent eclipse moved west to east across the earth and according to him the earth is spinning to fast for that to happen. So I literally did all of the math for him calculated the degrees of movement of the sun and moon in the sky during the period of the eclipse. told him how to measure that on his hand. calculated the total distance you would move with the rotation of the earth during the eclipse. Calculated the speed the shadow moves (it changes by the way depending on the stage of coverage) then calculated how many miles it would gain on you during the eclipse. Even after having all of the math done for him he didn't accept it. After a brief discussion which I provided counter arguments and proof for my arguments he proceeded to say some pretty nasty things about me that no "friend" would ever say to one another. Needless to say were not friends anymore not because he believes in FE but because he is so militant about it and I refuse to be treated that way by anyone. Some peoples minds you just cant change.

[@Timg95]

First and foremost, wormholes and multiple universes are nothing but mere speculation and conjecture at this juncture in their lives; however, many mathematical formulations point to the potential for their existence. Second, the title of theory is a title bestowed exclusively upon an idea that has significant merit, and is the highest honor any idea can attain within the scientific medium.

Shame on you, gobsnobber muffin. "If only these people were educated in the fields of mathematics, geometry, and physics" would likely yield more benefit than their non-existence. How do you have any way to be sure that they will be flat-earth-belieiving fools while they are still in the womb? I suspect that even the majority of the downs-syndrome-affected population accepts that the world is round because their teachers told them so, possibly hundreds of times. Downs is pre-natally detectable, but I have seen no evidence of pre-natal detectability of flat-eartherism, and would be highly skeptical of any such evidence offered, because flat-eartherism seems to depend more upon memetics than genetics. While they will never be rocket scientists, the folks who deny the spheroid shape of the earth can still be whopper-floppers regardless of their understanding of the shape of the Earth or gravity, because the meat patty will still fall back to the cooking surface whether they believe it should or not. They can still mop the floor. They can still wash your car. They still have utility. They can still enrich our lives. They can still change their minds and become ex-flat-earthers. In the worst-case-scenario, if they're so fatally-gullible, snobs like you can easily defraud them and enrich yourselves (It's okay as long as they're stupid, right? And if they fall for it, they are!). There is no logical excuse for denying them life upon the grounds of disbelief in a spheroid Earth, and I once again suggest that you should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting otherwise. What if I proposed that anyone who lacks empathy for the disadvantaged should be aborted? How would you feel about that? (Hint: this is a reasoning test)

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

weve explored quite a fair deal of antartica. no where have i ever seen a dome shape like that. thing is if the earth was flat, gravity of the earth would collapse it back into a ball shape. even if it didnt then gravity would make it seem like your going up a steeper and steeper hill until at the very edge it would almost seem vertical. cities would have to be put on an incline so that it would feel like right side up was at a right angle to the ground. suck a simple thing almost destroys all arguments of a flat earth. not to mention the fact that with a fair amount of helium balloons and a camera you can actually see the curvature of the earth

[@tntmoncton]

I pray for you Man . The Bible is wrong ? Wow.

[@jakewastaken]

Even if we presuppose that God is real and even if we presuppose Christianity was the only one to get it right, we definitely know "the bible" is rife with inaccurate and downright "wrong" statements. First of all, there are practically countless versions of this text, so referring to it as "the bible" is quite useless as different versions not only have different translations, interpretations, outright re-wording and summaries, but different versions also have different collections of scripture inside. Then, once you identify which book, you have to look at which version and in what language.Are we talking New Testament? Old? Which books are to be included? Which gospels? Which scrolls? Let's assume you're using the King James bible edition in English printed for an American audience with editing and a new copyright of sometime in the last 30 years,, as that is the most likely and most common type of bible being discussed by people in your position. It is positively trivial to find incorrect and inaccurate statements within this specific text. We also have the history of how it was made and edited and which strategic changes they made to the texts and for what gain. There are many passages that were altered to suit their specific viewpoints and stances and to help push it onto a larger audience. You can't just say "well it's the word of God and or Jesus, so it can't be wrong." Even if it WAS meant to be his word, you sure as shit are not looking at that one right now and your beliefs are focusing on the nuances of that specific text if you're a fundamentalist rather than the "original" source (again, basically a worthless phrase and concept as there were multiple versions that were varied). If you're a genuine believer AND you still continue to think your views are based on a flawless text, than you should spend more time praying for yourself rather than other people. You're going to need it. PS. Flat Earth aside, let's not even focus on that. Satellites do exist and would exist even if the Earth were flat. It is also trivial to prove that satellites definitely exist. You can try to make up crazy explanations for how they get up there or how they actually travel/behave, but you can't just pretend they don't exist and aren't up there. If you think this can be the case, you just don't know enough about them from a technical standpoint. There are all kinds of hobbies out there that center directly around people's study of satellites and the tools we have to observe, manipulate, and otherwise interact and understand them and their paths. It is easy for them to hide satellites, but it would be harder to fake them at this point than to just really put them up. We have a lot of technology that would not work at all without them and could not be faked by stations located on the Earth.

Go to the seashore and watch a sun rise or sunset. What you will see is the sun disappear below the horizon because the Earth is a sphere. If the world was flat what you should see is the sun get smaller an smaller until is vanishes from sight. What you do see is the sun which is still the same size as it sets cut in half as it sinks below the horizon. On a flat Earth this could never happen because the sun could never sink below the horizon as it would always be above the horizon until it reached the vanishing point. You would never see a half of a sun as it sets.

[@thephaneron3676]

*+Mike M* Lol. The sun isn't visible in the Arctic (North Pole) for a solid 6 months a year. If earth were flat, the sun couldn't possibly set. Given it's proposed altitude, the trigonometry concludes that in the southern hemisphere, the sun couldn't possibly sink lower than *12.9 degrees* above the horizon at it's lowest point. In the Arctic circle, the sun couldn't possibly sink lower than a whopping *28.7 degrees* at it's lowest point. It would be midnight sun everywhere- all the time.

Even if the world was flat, gravity would pull it back into a sphere

[@bryanmiller476]

Studio Warfare not really Gravity it nothing more than the earths centripetal force from its spinning throwing everything against itself And the bigger the object spinning and faster it spins the stronger the force That's why the moon which is smaller than the earth has gravity but it's much weaker Out in space, there is no gravity pushing on the earth There's no defined up or down in space either You feel the same walking around weather you are the north side or the south side cuz the centripetal is equal at equal distance from the center from all ends So people never feel like they are upside down to other on the opposite side of the earth

[@Chribit]

Bryan Miller Gravity IS NOT centripetal force. Gravity can act as a centripetal force if you look at why earth revolves around the sun for example. The sun acts as central and centripetal force in such math equations. "Out in space, there is no gravity pushing on the earth"... uhm... we rotate around the sun due to gravity of said sun. the stars in our galaxy also revolve around a giant black hole (probably) due to gravity. Gravity is the attraction of small objects to bigger objects in space or objects to each other in general. the last sentences are right though. Gravity is the reason why we don't feel like being "upside down"... also because there is no up and down really. (you could say up = away from earth and down = towards earths core though) Now we have to remember: we do not know what gravity is, we just know how it affects other objects. it could be dark energy or dark matter that tell us why this attraction happens. who knows.

[@bryanmiller476]

Gravity is caused by centripetal force of the planet or sun rotating

[@bryanmiller476]

It's also why water and tornados spin in opposite directions on the north and south sides of the earth Just like a spinning ball, if you look at the top as it spins in a giving direction and then look face on at the bottom would be spinning the opposite way

[@Chribit]

no. gravity also occurs if you have two completely stable objects in a no-gravity area. those two objects will attract each other over time. yes, water and tornados do spin in opposite directions because of earths rotation. but that has nothing to do with gravity nor centripetal force. that's just simply due to the air moving with the earths rotation around it's own axes. (although the air does stay on earth because of gravity.) gravity and centripetal force are not the same thing.

The most irritating thing that Flat Earthers say is " The horizon always RISES to eye level " that statement alone disproves FLAT earth. Are they saying that the earth is concave and the edge of the earth rises up, AND, you can see to the edge of the earth?? If you are standing on the shore line and 6ft tall -183cm, eye level is about 5ft 8in -173cm, on the horizon eye level is still 5ft 8in - 173cm. The higher up you go the higher eye level is. The horizon never RISES.

Only south of the equator. GPS is ground based. Just like LORAN before "GPS".

[@jenbill]

Goodall72 GPS is not As someone who has worked in GPS and space geodesy my entire life GPS Satalites are not dependent on cellular mast. GPS is microwave L band, signals don't go through buildings, hence why people don't use it indoors. And you need to track 4 satellites for a position solution. So you'd need MILLIONS of masts to even get close to the coverage provided by 24 satellites 12500 miles up. GPS works globally, so you'd need masts in the Arctic, Antarctic, in Siberia, deepest darkest Africa, its just silly, they would be everywhere. The problem is compounded even more because commonly receivers track 10 or more satellites, so every position on earth would need line of sight to 10 masts. A last sucker punch comes from the fact that GPS is one GNSS system, of which there are a few (Galileo, Glonass, Beidou, Compass...), they would all need their own masts. Interesting enough, masts are sometimes used as 'fake' satellites to augment GPS when coverage is poor. They are called pseudolites. Another subtler problem with ground masts is plate tectonics. 'Fiducial GPS', used in my previous work is accurate to a few mm. It is so accurate, tectonic plate motion overwhelms any time series you produce and it has to be removed before you could get near the phenomena you wanted to measure. Ground based transmitters, subject to the same plate motion as the receiver would see no such effect, plate motion would cancel out, unless you measured a baseline across a plate boundary or something. Lastly, there are thousands of continually operating Fiducial GPS stations scattered around the world, the data is free to anyone. If you process some concurrent data from many or all of those stations, the resulting network solution perfectly describes a spheroidal Earth. The mast system would theoretically work, but you'd need millions, and they would all need different numbers. LORAN short for (LOng RAnge Navagation ) worked that way, because it used much lower frequencies that COULD travel through solid objects, but there is a detrimental trade off with system accuracy, results would be orders of magnitude worse than GPS accuracy. E-LORAN has been adopted as a back up to GPS in an extreme emergency for shipping and localized airport terminal use
