Yes.
It's absolutely relevant when you're asking me to draw one that doesn't suit the narrative.
No, that's a feeble dodge. If you are challenged to show a map that explains how things work in your version of the world, that is the challenge. The alternative has already been provided, tested and found to be true.
It's not a challenge that can be completed unless people have access to a world to map. It's not like mapping out the UK. There's a lot of water to navigate and inhospitable land areas on top of that.
More feeble dodging. You cannot explain the most basic known phenomena in a flat or cell world.
"If you had access to a plane you could fly along every coastline and document the entire flight. You'd end up with pictures that match the global map as we know it."
No I wouldn't. You believe that because your globe is offered to you as just that.
You have absolutely no clue as to what it really is. Just be honest with yourself. You're arguing/appealing from/to authority, regardless of me saying it all the time.
So every map, printed or online, every globe, every atlas is a lie, and you know better?
Even with the ability to scroll through aerial photography of the whole planet and find your own house or car, you still want to claim that?
I believe it not because it's offered like that, I believe it because it's f***ing idiotic to dispute it. Remember, what you said about accepting facts...
"Absolutely. As long as you can present it as a fact and know it to be a fact.
That depends. If you appeal to authority and find you can also back that up as factual, then you have me and I can no longer argue against that point."
Well I reckon the shape and coastline of every country, photographed and found to match the maps already in print in countless books over many years and yet to be found at fault adds up to a known fact. If you think otherwise then it's for you to show where it's wrong and what needs changing.
The proof is there but anyone that believes water/oceans just stay nicely on a spinning globe will obviously not accept what's in their face. The peer pressure of mainstream narratives is strong and likely will remain so, because people police themselves once the majority prevails.
One day, someone will read through this thread and count how many times you've put this forward.
Your only evidence for your claim disproves your claim.
I have all the proof I need that Earth is not a spinning globe. What you decide it is, is irrelevant to me.
No need. See it for yourself and you decide for yourself. I'm fine.
So once again, the curvature of water is your proof, but there is no need to measure that curve....
Yep, what's in the sky is there. The thing is, is it a solid or a reflection/holographic image from a dome?
To me that's what the situation is. To you you're looking at sky whilst spinning on a ball. I can't help you with that. That's up to you to question...or not.
It's real. It's not reflections on a dome because there is no dome. Nor is it holographs.
The very fact that you can entertain this as a possibility shows how little you've looked at the sky and I'm presenting that as a fact and know it to be a fact.
Absolutely. As long as you can present it as a fact and know it to be a fact.
Ok, so you accept that one?
The rule is simple. Offer facts and shut me down or offer appeals to authority for your supposed facts and carry on debating my obvious dismissal.
Ok, day and night and the seasons as are observable all around the world could not happen as they do if the world was flat or in a cell.
Show how they could and shut us all down.
Saved you the bother of replying there.
I can generally accept a lot of things that carry no proof to me or you...
yeah like supercarbon arc crystal projectors and skydomes
... but offer a reasonable story as to the set up.
oh wait.... so not the supercarbon arc crystal projectors and skydomes.
And then there's this stuff which I do not accept because I know in my own mind it's utter nonsense just like you know in your own mind that what I say to you is utter nonsense.
The difference between us is, I don't offer my stuff as fact. You do. You have to.
Because the minute you say it may be this or that is when you lose the ability to checkmate the opponent.
There's stuff you reject because you don't understand it and there's stuff you reject because it doesn't fit your chosen narrative. Then there's stuff like actual testing which you reject because you know without doubt that it would disprove your whole theory.
If someone checkmated you, you'd still say it depends how you look at it and rewrite the rules to suit.
No they don't. They absolutely do not.
You know 100% in your mind that what you see up in that sky...is moving. You know 100% in your mind that what is up in that sky is not moving because you are still and moving on a ball.
But the narrative set out makes you accept the opposite of what your own senses tell you. In my opinion.
As above, your inability to understand celestial mechanics clearly shows. Your opinion is based on ignorance.
No.
An answer is just that, an answer. Not accepting the answer or ridiculing the answer does not make it a non answer.
More feeble dodging. If someone asks you a dozen times what experiments you have done/can do and you refuse to give details, that's not a case of not accepting the answer.
I'll never have any correct answers for you or others that support a spinning globe model and how they see life. My stuff sidesteps that so I wouldn't expect anything to be deemed correct.
The good thing is, I don't offer my thoughts as being factual. I offer them as my own potentials regardless of what you or others decide.
Your thought that the Earth is not a spinning globe is constantly offered as factual.
Your thought that water cannot stick to a spinning globe is constantly offered as factual.
The only things I offer as factual are the things that can be tested.
But you refuse to test them or accept that anyone else could test them and find a different result.
Water level is one nailed on fact that I have no further need to argue but I will consistently use it against anyone who tries to use the nonsensical water curving and staying on a spinning oblate spheroid.
I have no need to argue it but I will... nice.
Just test it and be done with it.
Then you go with it curving like you do. I have no issue with what you decide, just don't expect me to follow what I believe to be absolute nonsensical mainstream forced bull.
No-one should be expected to follow nonsensical mainstream forced bull. The issue is your definition of "absolute nonsensical mainstream forced bull" includes stuff that makes perfect sense to those who bother to think about it and becomes mainstream for a good reason.
I don't see anything at all in this thread that proves a globe. Nothing whatsoever. I do see plenty of people who tell me it is a globe and I'm a nutter...but forgive me for not accepting that as proof.
Plenty can show you proof, but no-one can do the seeing for you.
I don't see hurdles. If there are hurdles then they must be so low as to not warrant much, if any raising of myself to overcome them.
The biggest hurdles I see are the books the mainstream place in front of the participant, stacked so high as to become impossible to jump over and tough to break down but never impossible to get around if a person chooses to step aside of it to overcome it.
Well given that the video was a list of ten challenges to flat earthers, the first hurdle is that you wont even watch the video. Watch it and see the ten challenges, then fail to meet every one. Mainstream books and indoctrination/schooling don't need to come into it, you just have to take the challenges which if you're this certain, should be simple matters.
Already did ages ago.
Not in any real detail but then again who's offering detail?
Lets not let this one get lost in a long and mostly unread reply eh?
The question was to explain the mechanics of day and night, the seasons and the star maps without a globe... and you claim to have already done so.
I challenge you or anyone who cares to take up the challenge, show me where you explained how all this stuff works on anything other than a globe.
"
Not in any real detail" is going to be a key phrase here I'd imagine.
"
but then again who's offering detail?" pretty much everyone other than you.
