Nice Bait..

Hmm nice, except. Look at the horizon when he's inside the pod. Its flat.

When it pans outside, its 'spherical'. It's called a fish-eye lens buddy, A.K.A a GoPro. Also if you hit the equilibrium when using a fisheye, everything goes back to normal, in this case the horizon would be flat again. Like it shows inside the pod.

Looks can be deceiving, especially when you don't know what a fisheye lens is..

'Bye'.


If that was a fish eye lens then more than the curvature of the earth would be curved in the still/thumbnail of the image whereas NOTHING else is like it would in a fisheye lens

'Bye'

The world looks flat, feels flat, measures flat. But IS round. It HAS to be. Because NASA and their photoshopped images say so. Yes makes sense.

Seriously that is just retarded. Go and get a tray. fill it with water. There is your surface. Now go and get an orange or some sort of sphere object, spin it, pour water on it. What happens? You guessed it, the water bounces off in the opposite direction.

Still though, for you lot that doesn't prove anything. That is simple logic and if that doesn't make you realize. Nothing will.


Are you **** serious? The water spins off in the opposite direction because the gravitational pull of an orange is NOWHERE near the force applied to the water from the rotation of the orange... you cannot compare that to something that is literally MILLIONS times the size


If you actually read my post, which you obviously didn't because your ignorant like the rest. I stated that the earth 'is' an 'oblate spheroid'. Also used it to expose NASAs lies.

Stop trying to tell me I'm wrong because you saw the words 'flat earth'. Especially when you haven't even read the whole post and took my side into account. FFS.




And yes, I realize that it was a bad example but it is still logic, no amount of gravity can keep a liquid form stuck on a so called spheroid. Especially when the vacuum of space is stronger.

Even if it was possible, no water around the whole world would be able to remain perfectly still. Simply because of the movement of the earth and pull on gravity happening simultaneously.

Correct me if I'm wrong..

Oblate spheroid refers to any shape that bulges at the centre instead of being a perfect sphere. In the case of the Earth, it is a SLIGHT bulge, but it is there.... The radius of the Earth at the equator is around 7,926 miles whereas it is 7900 at the poles... which means it IS bulged at the equator. I did read the post, Just I as a physics major cannot comprehend people thinking the earth is flat when it is a PHYSICAL impossibility

Ok so, lets assume there is a bulge, firstly. Why can you not see it from NASAs photos, or the worldwide mapping on Google Earth, or for that matter. Any type of 3D mapping (Yahoo etc).

Secondly, Neil DeGrasse Tyson stated it was pear shaped. Which is pretty different from an oblate spheroid. He then tried covering up his mistake by saying it was only slightly oblate below the equator. Which is a complete contradiction. Funny thing is he in Club 33 like the rest of 'em.

Lastly, if the flat earth is 'PHYSICAL' impossible (pretty sure you meant to say physically). Then please provide me with the proof stating so. Because I'm 100% sure you cant, and I'm also 100% sure there is evidence its physically impossible for it to be a globe. Period.

okok. Im not going to go into any pro science because your simply not worth it.

I will dumb it down quite a fair amount because, this is simply 1 of 2 things, bait or really really stupid.

So, ever been out into the open and thought, wow, I can see so far then it dies off randomly but you can see the space? For example, if you look into the sea, you cant see much past a certain amount [3.1 Miles]. Because of the earths curvature, it bends too much that you cant see past that but if you look straight into space, [would you belive more than 3.1 miles away] you can see stars ect.

So like, im interested in what BS bait you come up with next.

1) Because the Earth is MASSIVE and the bulge is SLIGHT. ZERO of the images provided are a perfect sphere of the Earth

2) People make mistakes, can't use that as a valid argument

3) So if you believe that the Earth IS flat, then every star and planet in the universe is flat? Every atom in the universe is flat? Gravity acts in all directions which means it is physically impossible for a 'flat' disc the size of Earth to exist since the Centre of Mass would pull the sides in, oh wait, like a sphere.... anyone with a basic understanding of physics can understand that.

I would LOVE to see this 'proof' you have it is impossible for the Earth to be a sphere

1) Actually, no matter the slight in bulge, you would be able to see it, unless of course it was like 2km. Then it would be pretty hard to tell. Also ZERO of the images are real, all CGI and edited with photoshop.

Notice the literally, duplicated clouds, due to bad editing and most probably laziness. Or maybe it was just easier for them

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]




2) Yes you are correct, if that was the case though. Surely he would of corrected his mistake, instead of going on to say it's oblate to cover up the fact he said its pair shaped.




3) I never said I believed it, I said its highly likely. So far I'm more convinced its flat then round. Due to the evidence. If you provide me with 1 piece of irrefutable, solid evidence showing the earth is round. I will absolutely believe the heliocentric globe. But it wont happen, because there isn't any.

And because supposedly earth is flat doesn't mean everything else is. Even though NASAs 'images' of galaxy's appear as a disc.. Anyway, the bible says that space itself doesn't exist, and everything exists inside the firmaments. I still have a lot to learn on that side of the subject. So its a massive conundrum.




To be honest. Using quantum physics, scientists found that theoretically speaking, you should be able to put your fingers though a solid object because it is composed of compressed atoms. But you cannot, this has had scientists startled, and to this day no one can figure it out why this phenomenon occurs.

The same as particles behaviour changes while being observed (double slit experiment) and it most definitely knows that it is.

Scientists, physicists etc. All have the most very slight understanding on atoms and particles. They still have A LOT to learn. So you cannot use that as a valid argument.




By the way, I never said I personally had evidence, proving it is impossible for the earth to be a sphere, I said I'm 100% sure there is. Which to be honest, is a cocky lie. Im more 99.9% sure there is. I'm still looking for the stone hard, nail in the coffin evidence. Though.

But still.. More ignorance, what a surprise.

You realize that we went into space right? We would know if our world was spherical.
