Put a flat earthier into space

Being a Ford Cortina and a f***ing idiot are two different things but what of it?
If a maths problem states that there is a tangent and a normal, you're not going to get extra marks for questioning if the tangent is actually a tangent.

Of course not. Likely ridiculed and maybe even flung out of a lesson due to frustration.
But the point (*pardon the pun) still stands.
How do you guarantee it to be a tangent?

By using the term 'tangent.'
Otherwise it would probably just be called a line.

How do you guarantee that your ass stays attached?

Nope.
You can get proof of it existing if you wanted.
Totally different to a lot of stuff that's obscure and out of reach for the average Joe.

That's up to you.
This isn't my topic.

You could dismiss it if you have never been. It would then come down to you finding out for yourself or trusting someone to find tout for you.

If that's what you do then that's your business.

I have been, but that is still no proof. How did I know I was really there? I’ve never been to Milton Keynes. I could have been there and just schooled into thinking it was Australia. Zero proof of the entire continent existing.

I've been to Milton Keynes, but not Australia. From you having been to Australia and me having been to Milton Keynes, we can deduce - using our interlocutor's ineffable logic that two plus two equals purple - that Milton Keynes and Australia are the same place.

Now about this circle. Can you prove it is a circle?

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

Maybe, if you point the tangent at Polaris and run really fast in the opposite direction

The only proooof he'll accept is if you also become a dome earther.

@fyl2u, @SYB_DC, @DaveH, @The Snockerty Friddle - give it up lads, the bloke is an absolute moron, and I use that term advisedly. Your wasting valuable time you could be sharing with your loved ones, getting drunk, watching TV, reading, listening to music or whatever else is marginally better than setting fire to yourself.

You are right of course, but it's also quite funny

Exactly.
Now we have to find why it's a tangent.

Go on, tell me.

You don;t have to believe you have if that's how you feel about it after going to a place they call Australia.

I’ve never been to Milton Keynes. I could have been there and just schooled into thinking it was Australia.

Possibly. It's now down to how you interpret that.

Zero proof of the entire continent existing.

Then find some or just accept it and not necessarily fully believe it or don't.
3 choices.

 

[SYB_DC]

Go on, tell me.

I have no idea how you personally do it, given that you seem to treat basic facts like that as malleable propositions worthy of infinite doubt. That's why I asked.

Oh, ok.

Hmmmm..... No. It's not really important. The original diagram was about TWENTY pages ago and you've spent days now trying to lead the discussion off into blind alleys and dead ends. Why? You could have spent that time musing on the fact there's absolutely no way a naturally occurring projector can be responsible for Sun, Moon, the planets and stars, the phases of the moon, the phases of Venus and yet not Mars, Jupiter etc, the apparent circular motion of the stars around Earths celestial pole, solstices, eclipses and probably others I forgot.
Or drawing that diagram.

To be fair I'd like to ask why it was brought up in the first place.
There has to be a reason.

And there you have it... No answers, just pose another question and totally ignore the bits you dont like.

 

[Nukehasslefan]

Yeah a bit like others.

 

[payne]

Yeah a bit like others.

wow

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

Yeah a bit like otters.

Nothing like them.
Sorry, original was too shit so I changed it and ignored whatever meaning was intended.

 

[payne]

more bollocks from people lying or wasting their time. morons
