RE: Flat Earth - The End Debate

in #science7 years ago (edited)

I agree, very patient guy here..

If you fly at 80,000 ft high, you will see the curvature of the earth. But most people will never see from that position. I have had pilots describe it to me though.

I have circumnavigated the earth.
It took a few months, but if you keep going East, you do end up back in California, if that's where you started from.

Sort:  

That's a bold statement to make about the 80,000 ft considering the Jay Baumgartner Red Bull sky dive from space disproved that. At 120000 ft there is no visible curve except that which created by a lens or a piece of glass being viewed through. Look at the video from the Red Bull skydive from space when the view is from an out of capsule camera with a fisheye lens there is a clear curve but when the capsule door opens and the view comes from a camera without a fisheye lens inside the capsule magically the curve disappears. Also there was a video released a week ago of a camera sent to 100,000 ft by weather balloon and it had a lens to correct the curve created by fisheye lens and there was a very slight curve detected but not enough curve that there should have been visible at that height. The videographer went on the show the lense used still have a bit of barrel Distortion and he was able to correct that and so that even at 100,000 ft there was no visible curve.

Also your comment about circumnavigating Earth shows you've done 0 research on how the flat earth works if you go in a circle you'll continue to go in a circle traveling East you continue to travel east you'll never go off the edge the map, Google the azimuthal equidistant map to get a better idea of how circumnavigating the Earth Works in the flat-earth idea.

Right, their has never been recorded curvature at ANY altitude, even NASA tells us we should be seeing curvature from any flight at the normal cruising altitude (36,000 feet). Earth is 71% water and water always seeks to remain level. Their has yet to be any observable or repeatable proof that water can conform or convex to hold the shape of a sphere. Not to mention their are 4 separate experiments proving the earth is stationary.

Not even going to address this one. You come straight outta the 1400's...

This comment shows a total misunderstanding of the most basic scientific concepts. Water seeks to remain level, yes. But level relative to what? In the round earth model, it is level relative to the gravitational center. The water is not unnaturally conforming to a convex shape. At each point it is being pulled downward to a central point.

If you want to argue flat-earth, fine. But you should at least try to understand what you're arguing against.

as a Hollow Earth proponent, AND someone who understand how easily this could all be a simulation, why can't you all just accept that the Earth can be both flat and round and hollow all at the same time? it just depends on whose looking and how, i mean, ever heard of spooky action at a distance? Things could be programmed to hange as son as you observe them 9funny we just acept this as some fundemanetal law of the universe when no its just part of our simulation lol its like rendering of 3d shapes, they render what you look at they dont render the whole thing, just whatever the players are obeserving

anyway it upsets me how upset the anti flat earthers become...its like the flat earthers are totally loosing the debate when they get angry at the flat earthers and im constantly seeing teh flat earthers with more confidence and they seem like they know theyve already won because their view is trendong online

i just wish we could understand that if the earth realy ios round,l then you have nothing to worry about! let the flat earthers believ what theyw ant because eventually theyll get in a spaceship thankls to elon musk and theyl see the round earth for themselves! But thats just another reason we need more investment in Space and why we all need to save money so we can aford tickets to go to low earth orbit!

When you take a flat earthers to the mars Colony with elon musk it will be extremely hard for them to continue talking about the flat earth.....

they will see that there is no freakin firmament theres no fucking glass dome, the bible is cool and all but hey, come on, hah YHWH's Terrarium lol its really cool for just tripping ouit and imagination of new worlds its so cool to imagine like hey what if that WAS true, i mean you could easily see how it could be true if we were simply living in a matrix like simulation, then the entire world woiuld be maleable we could have the world be whatever shape we wanted

I just want to say thank you to @fulltimegeek for upvoting the above comment of mine and bringing the value of this single comment to just over 25% of the value of the OP. The pay out on this will give me the SBD I need to finally be able to invest in bitconnect. I appreciate the support of champions of truth-seeking such as yourself. Thank you again.

That sounds like an adventure, you posted about it?
