Flat Earthers

[keybuk]

Have you actually ever run a laser over a lake or along a canal to check that?

You might be unpleasantly surprised.

I think this is the point at which he'll claim light bends.

Surprisingly, given its name, Light is actually heavy. This is why it bends at the end due to the sheer weight of it.

But here the light would be bending up. BUSTED.

I cant , just like you cant provide any evidence that water conforms to the exterior of objects , which is strange as 2/3 of the earth is covered in water

So you haven’t seen the photo of the swimmer where his head is above he surface but still covered in a film of water, or seen a meniscus form on a liquid, or seen one of those fancy wage features where the water runs down the outside of a ball of marble in an even manner then. Scale that up to a planetary scale and it isn’t really all that shocking

do you know all so called dinosaur bones in museums are just plastic replica`s

Apart from the real ones that is.

cause the earths flat and the atoms in the object are denser than the air around it so it drops

And what keeps the air from floating away into space?

 

[chelt_mackem]

whether in a bath , lake , reservoir or ocean the surface is always flat and level . nowhere do we see water bend or curve - explain that on a spinning ball

Logon or register to see this image

Water never curves you say?

 

[taipeisafc]

I may not be able to spell but I aint so stupid to believe I live on a spinning ball that's 2/3 water

No it is not 2/3 water the surface which is a tiny portion of the globe is 2/3 water the rest is heavy stuff like rock and metal it is like saying an orange is 100% skin. I am disappointed in the quality of your windups on this thread

Have we proved the world is round yet?

It has to, otherwise it would snap due to the weight.

It always surprised me that the Chinese were amongst the last to believe in a flat earth. That Christian missionaries were putting them right, right up until the 17th century.

Really? In other aspects of astronomy and observing they were quite a bit ahead of Europeans.

They never developed glass, which means they didn't have lenses, so Europe overtook them.

Yeah. You'd think the connection would be ready to be made but it doesn't quite connect nevertheless.

I did not know that about the glass lenses mind. Cool.

 

[Kent_Mackem]

They're not even worth engaging. At least happy clappers are actually convinced they are right. Flat Earthers are just attention seekers in a mad world.

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

It's definitely flat like nee two ways about it

 

[AlpineExile]

It's definitely flat like nee two ways about it

Of course there are, you can go eastwards around it or westwards, but you'll still have gone about it both ways.

The tropopause

The problem is though, once you start involving physics, the flatters have to deny it.
So what how come I can sail round the globe following a compass?
Magnetism is a lie
Why does the water stick?
Gravity is a lie
How come the laser proves it’s curved?
Electromagnetic theory is a lie
What about the view form space?
Astronomy is a lie

The end result being that you have to deny all of physics, in which case how does any machine or building work? Why aren’t we still sitting in caves on our flat earth?

They're absolute idiots.


What I don't get is even if it was flat, what's the point of lying about it?

 

[Ilios]

all fairy tales n BS , just remember your lied to from day yer born till the day you die

You're also told truths (or at least non-
lies - there's a distinction) every day, so what? That isn't in any way evidence or justification for you believing any ridiculous proposition going. How do you know the 'Flat Earth' isn't one of the lies?

What would falsify your belief? What would need to be shown to you, to convince you you're not correct?

And the scale of the lie. How do they convince joe explorer, who’s just tried to row round the world only to bump into the wall of ice, to tell people he got all the way round?

Put him in a plane and fly in straight line in any direction and see where he ends up.
