Yknow, does algebra work as a concept?” “Well yeah, math is math, you can’t argue with math.” “Okay. Cool. Explain to me HOW algebra works, along with the proper sequencing so I have a decent understanding of algebra and how it works.” “I can’t… I’m not a math teacher.” Exactly. Just because someone can’t explain something, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I don’t know HOW my main meds stop my pain, but I understand that they work and trust the intelligent people who developed them. I have some basic information I can share, but that’s it. Same when it comes to a globe. I know it’s true because I can see it, and observe it. I have basic information and little tests to prove it but I cannot actually explain in detail how it works… I know that things in space tend to clump into spherical shapes, even granular materials like sugar in a bag. I know that I can run up and down a flight of stairs and watch the sunset or sunrise twice because I outrun the curvature of the earth. I can give logical information with evidence and science to back it up. Can you?

The funny thing with the basket ball test is that, if you scale it down, then there is probably more water on that basket ball than water on the Earth anyway. I have done the maths, that water is higher than mountains. The height of Everest is roughly 0.14% of the radius of the Earth. A basketball is about 120 mm in radius. If we find 0.14% of 120 mm, we should have the scale distance of the summit of Everest above the surface of our basketball. If we multiply 120 mm x .0014, we get about 0.2 mm. So, if you wanted to build the Himalayas to scale on the basketball, you would actually have a hard time making them small enough

Here's an experiment you can do yourself: wait for the equinox, drive 500 miles north, observe sunrise and sunset times, drive 500 miles west the next day, observe sunrise and sunset times, ask people in far-away places to do the same, try to explain the results using any flat earth compass/sun/geometry configuration, try to explain the results using a globe and known latitudes.

I have an experiment that anybody in Great Britain can perform with 1) a train ticket, 2) a decent telescope, 3) a tiny bit of math and google: Get your telescope and take the train to Dover, England. Walk to Shakespeare Beach and stand as close to sea level as you can get with a clear view of the Strait of Dover. Aim your telescope at France, specifically at Cap Blanc-Nez. The distance is approximately 35.5 km. On a flat earth, you should be able to see all 134 meters of Cap Blanc-Nez, but on a globe earth, only between 35~62 meters of the top, depending on the actual height of the telescope, and not accounting for refraction.

Don't worry. Your belief that Scottish people are lovely is true. One or two d-bags isn't going to change that. Idiots and A-holes appear in all groups of people. Every race, every culture, every gender, every sexuality, every nationality, every political persuasion, every education level. In all groups the vast majority of people are good, kind human beings who care for the people around them and want everyone else to be happy. And sure, in all groups, there are occasionally the jerks who behave badly, but don't fall into the trap of judging the entire group based on their behaviour. They will always be a tiny minority.

You don't even need a vacuum chamber to prove the point. Even flerfers in the main accept there is an atmospheric gradient, the further away from sea level you go the less dense the atmosphere becomes. Air pressure at sea level 14psi, air pressure at 30,000 feet 5psi. Wherever you are the air is more dense lower than higher. That being the case if you drop any object it falls vertically downwards due to gravity. If there was no gravity the air below the object being dropped is more dense than the air above it. The object should rise vertically, not drop.

To me the sharp horizon you see at sea or from a hilltop on a clear day demonstrates that we live on a ball. If we lived on a flat plane the horizon would always be misty, variable and indistinct like your field of view on a misty day. And I could tell that guy about ships I've seen going over the horizon. All common experience.

If we lived on a flat plane there would be no horizon, the only reason we have one is because we are on a globe.

I still have never met a flat earther in person but I would absolutely destroy one of them in a situation like this. I think they're all CGI.

Everybody thinks so, until they find one. Then they discover, oh the horror, that flat earthers are immune to logic. You'll have the same success trying to convince a madman than he is not Napoleon Bonaparte.

Whenever confronted by delusional people such as him and I am off duty my customary response is that I have neither the time nor crayons to explain things to you and just because in your mind you are speaking your “truth” does not make it fact nor truth so go rewrap your tin foil hat before “they come back for you…….”

I have arguments with random people on the street on a regular basis when I confront them about their behaviour. I'd love to have Dell shove his camera in my face and ask stupid questions.... that would be an epic altercation.

I have to remember that. "I have neither the time nor crayons to explain things to you."

I have no problem admitting to being triggered. I get annoyed by moronic flerfs spouting lies, misinformation, distrust and slander. Maybe I’m just funny that way but that sort of stuff just doesn’t sit well with me.
