>people still trying to force flat earth lies onto the internet

the earth is not even perfectly round but it's nowhere near flat.

The earth's circumference is 25,000 miles and you think that being 20 miles up in the air will allow you to see curvature?

retarded

>15) If the Earth were truly a sphere 25,000 miles in circumference, airplane pilots would have to constantly correct their altitudes downwards so as to not fly straight off into “outer space;” a pilot wishing to simply maintain their altitude at a typical cruising speed of 500 mph, would have to constantly dip their nose downwards and descend 2,777 feet (over half a mile) every minute! Otherwise, without compensation, in one hour’s time the pilot would find themselves 31.5 miles higher than expected.

whoever wrote this has no idea how aerodynamics works

>what is cherry picking?

It's flat in your picture

if the earth was flat you should see the full map of the world if you were high enough in space, but yet proof like this doesn't exist.

infact the horizon would span for much longer because the curvature of the earth shouldn't exist, so you would technically see london from a telescope from the tallest building in new york, in a flat earth

pictures are flat, just like your arguments

we're on the same page

I really hope this flat earth nonsense is trolling

ok then faggot

>1) The horizon always appears perfectly flat 360 degrees around the observer regardless of altitude. All amateur balloon, rocket, plane and drone footage show a completely flat horizon over 20+ miles high. Only NASA and other government “space agencies” show curvature in their fake CGI photos/videos.

because those pictures are taken in actual space, not 20 miles above a 25000 mile diameter sphere

> 2) The horizon always rises to the eye level of the observer as altitude is gained, so you never have to look down to see it. If Earth were in fact a globe, no matter how large, as you ascended the horizon would stay fixed and the observer / camera would have to tilt looking down further and further to see it.

same as the first

> 3) The natural physics of water is to find and maintain its level. If Earth were a giant sphere tilted, wobbling and hurdling through infinite space then truly flat, consistently level surfaces would not exist here. But since Earth is in fact an extended flat plane, this fundamental physical property of fluids finding and remaining level is consistent with experience and common sense.

like many, fails to take into account that the earth and everything on it is all moving at the same velocity

>bubbles in "space"

nice deflection

You still have 196 left

Why is the moon a sphere tho?

yeah because calling a picture flat is such a winning arguement. oh look, he has a picture of the earth. but what are all pictures but flat canvases and sheets? this is proof right here that the earth is flat.

you have to be completely dense to refute science because of the parchment that its printed on.

and don't even go say "that's not paper it's a jpg" that's not even gonna help your initial argument you'll just be going further off topic into looneyland.

Have you ever seen the dark side of the moon? Checkmate

I'll go through each one of them

>4) Rivers run down to sea-level finding the easiest course, North, South, East, West and all other intermediary directions over the Earth at the same time. If Earth were truly a spinning ball then many of these rivers would be impossibly flowing uphill, for example the Mississippi in its 3000 miles would have to ascend 11 miles before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

>5) One portion of the Nile River flows for a thousand miles with a fall of only one foot. Parts of the West African Congo, according to the supposed inclination and movement of the ball-Earth, would be sometimes running uphill and sometimes down. This would also be the case for the Parana, Paraguay and other long rivers.

I'm honestly not smart enough to know the physics behind geological shit like this but I can assure you the person that wrote this also does not

>6) If Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference as NASA and modern astronomy claim, spherical trigonometry dictates the surface of all standing water must curve downward an easily measurable 8 inches per mile multiplied by the square of the distance. This means along a 6 mile channel of standing water, the Earth would dip 6 feet on either end from the central peak. Every time such experiments have been conducted, however, standing water has proven to be perfectly level.

>7) Surveyors, engineers and architects are never required to factor the supposed curvature of the Earth into their projects. Canals, railways, bridges and tunnels for example are always cut and laid horizontally, often over hundreds of miles without any allowance for curvature.

>8) The Suez Canal connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea is 100 miles long without any locks making the water an uninterrupted continuation of the two seas. When constructed, the Earth’s supposed curvature was not taken into account, it was dug along a horizontal datum line 26 feet below sea-level, passing through several lakes from one sea to the other, with the datum line and water’s surface running perfectly parallel over the 100 miles.

the ground follows the curvature (obviously), therefore if they're building on the fucking ground they don't need to take it into account

I can't quite read 9 without getting confused, it's not very coherent

10) The London and Northwestern Railway forms a straight line 180 miles long between London and Liverpool. The railroad’s highest point, midway at Birmingham station, is only 240 feet above sea-level. If the world were actually a globe, however, curving 8 inches per mile squared, the 180 mile stretch of rail would form an arc with the center point at Birmingham raising over a mile, a full 5,400 feet above London and Liverpool.

davidsenesac.com/Information/line_of_sight.html
8 inches per mile * 180 miles = 120 feet, not a whole fucking mile

11 is long so I'll leave it out

the railway isn't going UP from the center of the earth 8 inches per mile, the earth CURVES 8 inches per mile, making it flat relative to the center

12) The Manchester Ship Canal Company published in the Earth Review stated, “It is customary in Railway and Canal constructions for all levels to be referred to a datum which is nominally horizontal and is so shown on all sections. It is not the practice in laying out Public Works to make allowances for the curvature of the earth

see above

>13) In a 19th century French experiment by M. M. Biot and Arago a powerful lamp with good reflectors was placed on the summit of Desierto las Palmas in Spain and able to be seen all the way from Camprey on the Island of Iviza. Since the elevation of the two points were identical and the distance between covered nearly 100 miles, if Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference, the light should have been more than 6600 feet, a mile and a quarter, below the line of sight!

taking something from 200 fucking years ago as fact isn't very smart & see above for the drop thing

>14) The Lieutenant-Colonel Portlock experiment used oxy-hydrogen Drummond’s lights and heliostats to reflect the sun’s rays across stations set up across 108 miles of St. George’s Channel. If the Earth were actually a ball 25,000 miles in circumference, Portlock’s light should have remained hidden under a mile and a half of curvature.

not sure exactly what this is supposed to be proving or even testing

already covered 15

Of the earth is flat why can i dig down all the way to china?

Checkmate retards.

>16) The experiment known as “Airy’s Failure” proved that the stars move relative to a stationary Earth and not the other way around. By first filling a telescope with water to slow down the speed of light inside, then calculating the tilt necessary to get the starlight directly down the tube, Airy failed to prove the heliocentric theory since the starlight was already coming in the correct angle with no change necessary, and instead proved the geocentric model correct.

the earth is rotating quickly relative to the stars, which hardly move apparently due to being lightyears away

>17) “Olber’s Paradox” states that if there were billions of stars which are suns the night sky would be filled completely with light. As Edgar Allen Poe said, “Were the succession of stars endless, then the background of the sky would present us a uniform luminosity, since there could exist absolutely no point, in all that background, at which would not exist a star.” In fact Olber’s “Paradox” is no more a paradox than George Airy’s experiment was a “failure.” Both are actually excellent refutations of the heliocentric spinning ball model.

what is redshift for $100, alex

If the earth is flat, explain meteorology. All of it, any of it. Something tells me that the average flat earth theorist thinks meteorology is the study of conspiracy theories as to where the dinosaurs went.

>18) The Michelson-Morley and Sagnac experiments attempted to measure the change in speed of light due to Earth’s assumed motion through space. After measuring in every possible different direction in various locations they failed to detect any significant change whatsoever, again proving the stationary geocentric model.

einstien has a whole thing on this called relativity

>19) Tycho Brahe famously argued against the heliocentric theory in his time, positing that if the Earth revolved around the Sun, the change in relative position of the stars after 6 months orbital motion could not fail to be seen. He argued that the stars should seem to separate as we approach and come together as we recede. In actual fact, however, after 190,000,000 miles of supposed orbit around the Sun, not a single inch of parallax can be detected in the stars, proving we have not moved at all.

again because the stars are apparently motionless due to being fucking far away (lightyears)

>20-29

you can test this by getting into a bus on a freeway and jumping in the aisle
do you go flying backwards at 60mph? no

again with the referring to data and experiments done centuries ago

I'm not going to respond to any more since I'm getting tired of reading though similar "theories" based on bullshit

Get fucked faggots

what is inertia?
You know why you dont fly back 60mph if you jump on a bus? Because you're going the same speed as the bus while you're on it.

Thats why if you take put the windows and crash the bus, your body goes flying out the front at 60mph

You fucking retard. Learn highschool science.

That's exactly what he fucking said, dumbass. God I hate canadians.

different than this?

Flat earth threads are the most effective slide threads ever.

>you can test this by getting into a bus on a freeway and jumping in the aisle
do you go flying backwards at 60mph? no

This is literally an explanation of inertia. You are moving along with anything you're being transported with.

>No, he said something different
Maybe if you're fucking retarded. It's okay to admit you were wrong leaf.

I hate Canadians so god damn much.

>"I have no arguments!" The post

The reason there is life on earth is because the earth is flat. No other planet is flat and no other planet that we know sustains life.

Have you ever felt like you were on a ball, upside down, spinning at thousands of miles
per hour? Me neither.

It's all a matter of perspective. Science-faggots like to say 'muh facts' and conveniently forget that space-time is relative.

To a particle traveling just under the speed of light, the earth is flat. If we are beings of light, earth is actually a flat 'board game' to us. The only reason it seems round is because of the limitations of the game.

>We've been to space, looked back on the earth and confirmed it's a sphere

I just don't get it

>tfw people this dumb were put onto the planet to entertain people like me.

Good show boys.

>being a blue pilled faggot

all true flat earthers are narcissists. a friend of mine likes to post flat earth theory pics on fb and he knows it's all lies. otherwise people who unironically post flat earth theories are usually wholistic health practitioners breaking the ice with potential clients and customers

for the third point:

>what is gravity

like you said, everything else on earth is moving too. The earth's core, that is as dense as a flat-earther's brain, pulls the water toward it.

prove me wrong then faggot.

I don't have to! it'd be like arguing water is wet! I'm already right!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>This thread. Please delete this board.

God damn your dumb if you're not just trolling. This is why the US ranks 17th in education.

yes, to add to number 17 in a more general term. The sky is entirely filled with ENERGY, not light. Since light is a form of ENERGY, yes, a partial amount is light. If you looked at the night sky using a microwave detector, you'd find that the entirety of the night sky is emitting them. The person that came up with that paradox obviously didn't understand that light isn't the only form of electromagnetic wave, and also that that light was the only form of energy released by a star, or was the majority of energy emitted by a star.

this is a dumb game.

We need to ban these type of threads

>cant tell if this is elaborate shitposting or if people are actually this stupid

You probably think the apple accelerates towards the earth, too, don't you?

Educate yourself faggot. Space-time is relative. That's why it's theoretically possible to use wormholes to travel faster then light.

As a particle nears the speed of light, space is warped. Go fast enough, and the earth is a disk-shaped. Prove me wrong or fuck off faggot.

>Go fast enough, and the earth is a disk-shaped.
the earth is percieved as disk shape because you're going to fast to percieve all of it. that's like saying everyone is a blob because go fast enough and everyone appears to blend into each other. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

>As a particle nears the speed of light, space is warped. Go fast enough, and the earth is a disk-shaped.
>he thinks things that apply to particles going just under the speed of light applies to us
The earth is flat to them because they're going fast as fuck. That doesn't make the earth less round retard.

If Earth were as big as a marble it would be just as smooth as one with all its mountains and canyons

it also doesn't make the perspective of the particle wrong either. Both are objectively accurate. Just because it's true for YOUR frame of reference doesn't mean it's anymore accurate then others.

Why the fuck do you guys think einstein's work was so revolutionary?
