Put a flat earthier into space


Balloons and dirigibles etc can do all kinds of weather predictions and also planes, etc.
No need for so called space satellites.

We're told to accept that satellites are geostationary at 23,000 miles into space with no means of repair and are sent out to magically send out signals for computers and TV and all kinds of stuff.
Google Earth uses a CGI Earth to pinpoint a position until it gets to plane height before it starts to show you reality.

I mean I do admire those who tell/sell the stories and do the magical CGI and stuff. I think it's genius but then again I also think those that do films like armageddon and such like are also genius. I wonder if they're all part of the same group. But anyway.

All of who?
:D :D Not believing because of magic invisible signals.

You do know that when you turn the radio on in your car, there are not lots of tiny people singing in your dashboard, right?
 
There’s plenty of proof, you just choose not to accept it on the basis that it disproves your belief system.
What proof is there that you know for sure?
Nobody with any scientific credibility believes the Earth isn’t a globe.
That's your thought on it. You don't know any of this for sure.
Believing the Earth is flat in this day and age is attention seeking, it can’t be anything else.
Maybe it could be attention seeking but then again I don't believe Earth is flat. I've said time and time again what I believe it may be.
Anyone who posts on a forum or whatever is after attention or they wouldn't post, whatever the debate is.
Won’t they bounce off the dome?
They wouldn't get that high, In my opinion.
GPS is global positioning system
That's what we're told.
I'm answering as to what I believe they are.
There's a big difference there.

You're quite right that a belief in gods is based on nothing but stories. However you will find that most scientists don't believe in them.
I'd hazard a guess that many do. However that isn't the issue. The issue is about how many people all over the known Earth believe in a god.
The same amount can be made to believe almost anything as long as it has an authority tag attached, kind of thing.
We can be coaxed into believing all kinds of stuff without even knowing f any of it has an facts/proof to it.

That's largely because of The Scientific Method, a system that requires that everything postulated as fact must be questioned, tested, proven, checked, peer-reviewed and ultimately replicable by anyone with access to the correct equipment. If you start with a blank slate and you want to write on it "there is a god, FACT", The Scientific Method would require that you prove this to be true, otherwise it gets wiped back off the slate. (Or at least reworded so that "FACT" is removed and it becomes clear that it's an unproven hypothesis rather than an absolute scientific truth).
Peer reviewed is not proven. This is why the words "scientific theory" is bandied about. It pushes towards a mainstream truth but hides behind the word "theory." It's clever in its own way but facts are not involved.




No matter how many times you spout the same lie, science is categorically not based upon "stories". Science requires proof before anything can be declared a fact.
I absolutely agree. Science is about everything, it can't be a lie because science is the entire Earth. Being a scientist is about discovering what it all is and using it.
I have no issues with any of this
Time and again on this thread you've been shown proofs that the Earth is globe-shaped, and shown ways you can test these proofs for yourself.
Not once have I been shown a proof by anyone on here.
I've been told it's supposedly a globe by many. I've been told I need help because I don't believe it's a globe, by people who tell me it supposedly is.
I've been shown pictures by people who believe it's a globe.

I've never been shown any proof of Earth being any globe, nor a spinning globe.

Time and again you've demonstrated that you don't understand what's being explained to you (even the most basic maths that most 12-year-olds can understand), or you have put your fingers in your ears and spouted more nonsense to try to cover up the holes in your "story".
Not at all.
Nothing has been explained to me that covers what I'm arguing against.
Bits of maths have been brought up that shows nothing.
If you think there has then show me a math reality that proves a globe if it's kids stuff.
Just remember, if you calculate based on what you're handed without you having a real knowledge of it then all you'll be doing would be regurgitation of whatever you decide to use.
Time and again you've been asked to provide proof of your own model. Time and again you've failed to do so.
And time and time again I've told you all that my model is not based on direct provable facts. I don't pass anything of mine off as factual.
I have my own reasons and experiments that prove a lot to me which is irrelevant to anyone who does not follow that train of thought.
My argument is against what is handed out as factual by mainstream, in terms of what we're told Earth supposedly is.
Those facts are not there.
Your belief in your own model is very much akin to a faith that a god exists. It is based on absolutely no proof whatsoever and there's nothing about it that you can prove to anyone else.
Not really. I do experiments that show me a bit more. A lot of simple experiments show a lot more to me about what Earth is not, especially.
People ask me what those experiments are and I tell them to get themselves a simple bell jar and pump and evacuate air from it with objects and such inside.
Then there's the simplicity (like I've mentioned) of water level and water conforming to any container it is within and not conforming to any convex curve.....etc.

A bell jar and pump can show why orbits in so called space are nonsense (in my opinion).
Lots of stuff that simply takes a person who is interested to look into.
Anyone with a mindset of shrugging stuff off because a so called flat Earth nutter says it, will naturally never see anything in any experiment.

Conversely, the rest of us have an almost endless amount of proof that the Earth is a globe and a multitude of ways to demonstrate it to others.
And yet nobody has.
Don't rely on anyone else. You show me one proof that is plain and obvious to you.

You're just choosing to ignore it all, skipping around your dome-shaped totem pole singing "Laaa la la laa, I can't hear you, it's all just stories, tra la laaa".
No. I choose to question it all and believe it to be nonsense because that's exactly how it comes across to me.
Once upon a time it all made sense to me. Why?
Because I followed that train of thought when younger. believed the stories because I felt no need to question them.
It's massively different when you start to see a lot of stuff that begs them.
Why is the flat earth being hidden from us? What is the deception for?
I don't believe a flat Earth is being hidden from us. I don't follow a flat Earth.
:D :D Not believing because of magic invisible signals.

You do know that when you turn the radio on in your car, there are not lots of tiny people singing in your dashboard, right?
You do try, I'll give you that. ;)

Show me evidence - but I cant provide any evidence of my on.
Your just following stories you've been told all your life - Im going to create my own story for which there is no proof (but I'll still ask you for proof).
Renowned scientists throughout history dismissed - some nobody who believes there's a big dome over the earth (but no proof of this) knows better.

The desperation to be different to the norm & inflate their lack of intelligence is obvious.
 
I am still at a loss as to how a bell jar and pump disproves planetary motion

He's done the experiments.

Nobody can argue with the 'logic' he uses. Basically if any information is second hand or comes from any source other than ones self then you're just believing what the story makers have said. Pointless reading a book or listening to an expert in their field as they might well be lying and involved in some mass millennia secret deception to make everyone think the world is a ball.

What is your water level experiment, and what does it prove?

He’s on a massive wind up. It’s that simple.
Others on here have suggested he is a proper flat earther and we should cut him some slack because he genuinely believes what he’s saying. He isn’t though and I can’t prove he isn’t, but I’m just following his mantra there.

Yeah I agree. What I can't get my head around is why? Why spend hours upon hours trying to wind up a bunch of strangers on the internet over something that's easily proven. At least pick a subject to wind people up on that's a bit controversial and isn't so easily proved.

So there's a dome - how high is it, who built it, what material is it built out of, when was it built, why can't I see it flying 40,000ft in a plane?
Choose something that isn't so fecking ridiculous ffs.
 
I worked at sea for 11 years as a communications specialist, I can navigate, used to be able to navigate quite well, I probably would have noticed a flat earth like...

For some reason the link thumbnail views show the first post of each page rather than the post I linked in each case, but if you click the links it'll take you straight to each of the actual intended posts:

On this thread alone there's been:

Experiments for kids and also how the ancient Greeks determined the shape and size of the Earth:

Observing France from Dover at cliff level but not being able to see it from sea level:

How a Foucault Pendulum shows that the Earth is rotating, and how the motion of the pendulum is different depending on where on Earth you do the experiment:

A group of professional flat-earth youtubers spending $20k on a special kind of gyroscope to prove the Earth isn't a spinning globe, the device proving them wrong, and them covering it up so they can keep milking their cash cow:

Observing the lights in the sky to see their apparent rotation...
...and how those observations change the further south you go:
...and...

Observing Mars in the night sky to show the different orbits of Mars and Earth around the sun:
...and...

Using a telescope to measure the angle between the ground and Polaris from different vantage points:
...and...
...and...


Then there's the simplicity (like I've mentioned) of water level and water conforming to any container it is within and not conforming to any convex curve.....etc.

I debunked this nonsense for you in the bottom portion of this post:

Can you explain what you mean by this? What exactly was your bell-jar/pump experiment and what were the results?

You already know he's gong to say that none of that is proof of any kind and just what you have been told.
 
Then there's the simplicity (like I've mentioned) of water level and water conforming to any container it is within and not conforming to any convex curve.....etc.

And just in case you need a visual aid and further explanation of this...

Logon or register to see this image


At the top of this drawing, the black outline represents a convex container full of blue liquid.

Below that container, the dotted lines indicate the distance from the bottom of the container to the centre of gravity (in our case, this is the centre of the planet Earth because this is our net centre of gravity.)

The labels r1, r2 and r3 represent the distances from the bottom of the container to the red dot.

The red dot represents the point of the net centre of gravity.

What you have said is that the liquid will never conform to a convex container such as the one in my drawing.

What I am saying is that it all depends on the values of r1, r2 and r3. If r2 is less than or equal to r1 and r3, then the water will conform to the container

When you try this experiment at home, it is easy to get r1 and r3 to be equal. You just find a flat surface and put the container down on it. You can use a spirit level to find a properly flat surface.

The problem is r2, which is effectively the measurement that determines exactly how deep the curve of the container is.

If r2 is equal to r1 (and also therefore equal to r3 as we know r1 and r3 are the same on this flat surface we've measured) then the liquid will perfectly conform to the container. The depth of the liquid will be exactly the same everywhere in the container (assuming it is a liquid with zero , otherwise there would be a tiny variation at the very edge where it meets the container).

If r2 is less than r1, the liquid will be deeper in the middle than at the edges.

If r2 is greater than r1, the liquid will be deeper at the edges than in the middle.

It is clear from your posts about this scenario that whenever you personally have visualised this experiment, you have always used a container that has an r2 significantly greater than r1, and so in your version of the experiment the liquid will obviously always be deeper at the edges than in the centre or spill out of the edges of the container.
.
This is why your version of this experiment is flawed and leads you to an incorrect conclusion that has helped to paint your incorrect view of the possible shape of the Earth. You've started with a mistake so it's no surprise your final conclusion that uses this as evidence is erroneous.
