If something disappears over it, it's not "theoretical." You ask for observable things on a scale that even you can comprehend.
There is no horizon line, it's a blend of atmospheric conditions that give you a theoretical line perception.
Maybe some on here will help you on that one.
Then when presented with such things - a horizon - you call it "theoretical." Something is not "theoretical" if it undeniably, demonstrably, tangibly exists.
It doesn't.
That method of argument is fun to laugh at, but it's not worth much more than that.
Make it worth whatever you feel it's worth. I'm not you so it has no bearing on me.
No. Just an approximate drawing to get an idea of what you're on about
There's no land from the Bering Sea down to Antarctica. That's a distance of about 10,000 miles. How is the water not draining away in the Pacific
Why would it drain away?
It's all part of the same water level. Only the land beneath differs.
With all your effort you're putting in to wondering where this and that is and why this and that doesn't work for you, just have a think about what's being said.
If you want to help yourself then fill the trough and raise the land masses and then understand that a lot of that trough is not just exactly the same big delve all around it.
You looking at that map and just going with what you actually see is all well and good but it's not just a smooth concavity all around.
“The trouble with this global nonsense is, it's all down to fictional figures when any logical person who wants to question it all only has to do the simplest stuff to see that it is nothing like a spinning globe we supposedly live on.”
Fictional figures? Such as? And I love the implication that it's you who is being logical, priceless.
Calculations rigged up to supposedly suit a told reality that is anything but.
“I don't know the absolute truth of what Earth is and to say I do would be an outright lie.
But then again I don't offer it out as factual. What I do know is, Earth is absolutely not a spinning globe in a space vacuum.”
So, you don’t offer it as factual, except for in the very next sentence.
Yep, that's what Earth is not. A difference.
“See what? You see points of moving lights. You do not ever think it's you moving and the lights are stationary but you accept the story that Earth is moving anyway.
Of course you can see points of light with your own eyes but you do not know what they are. You're told what they are.”
Ok, so you're going to ignore the bit where I said you can see actual planets and pretend they’re just points of light.
Your planets are what's going on from the centre projected into the sky, not in a space vacuum millions of miles away. IMO.
You would not know what a telescope was unless someone told you, nor a window or the garden, or the sky.
Well that's it all settled for you, so why are you wasting your time on me?
So what? I’ve been told they’re planets and when I look, there they are, being all planety and behaving like planets. Planets confirmed until a better explanation comes along.
Whatever you believe is in the space you believe in is entirely up to you, obviously. I'm ok with whatever a person believes in, I'm just telling you I don;t share that mindset.
If you walk the length of a train is the train stationary beneath you?
“No, unless you mean the floor inside of the train.”
I think you're arguing from a point of you being on a spinning Earth with a perfect spinning atmosphere in unison with that solid Earth and this is your inner train, right?
Not the same argument, is it?
Outside of the train is atmosphere.
Outside of your global Earth train is a supposed vacuum.”
Outside of the Earth is the atmosphere. Outside of the atmosphere is vacuum. Not a Hoover, just a big and mostly empty space. What is so hard to grasp about a lump of something being there in the midst of not a lot else?
You're arguing a moving train with us inside is the same as your Earth.
It's absolutely not the same.
Your Earth is supposedly a spinning ball with an atmosphere that just happens to supposedly spin in unison with the solid ball and water an d outside of that is a supposed space vacuum.
On a train you have the train as your globe with the air inside as air moving with your globe against an external atmosphere.
There's a massive difference between your analogies.
The global so called vacuum against atmosphere with the train is an absolute mismatch.
Not only does your supposed atmosphere move with your so called solid ball but wind moves in all directions, too. Weird as all hell...eh?
Planes and helicopters are simply dragged along with the atmosphere and the solid so called spin and people don;t bother to question this utter utter utter nonsense.
If you travel from East to West in the Northern hemisphere Polaris will always be there to your right. If you head South, Polaris will gradually appear lower in the sky. Once it dips below the horizon, you’re in the Southern hemisphere. Prove me wrong.
“Just as it would if you did it on a circle.”
Just as it would if you went south on a circle, because you're going away from it and changing angle over distance.”
On a globe, yes. If it were flat then you could travel south all the way from north pole to whatever imaginary boundary you think there is and Polaris would still be to the North at the same height
No it wouldn't. You angle changes as you move away from the point of light. Eventually your sight will lose hat point of light.
“On a circle your compass would point south if you were walking away from the centre. No need for a spheroid.”
You know what a compass is and what it’s famous for? It has one job and pointing South isn’t it no matter what geometric shape you choose.
Your compass point will will show N if you're facing what is believed to be north. If you walk away from north your compass point is not going to point to north.
“Because atmosphere is layered. It's stacked layers of matter.”
It doesn’t matter, there is no up or down without gravity.
Yes there is. It's all about density and what we know to be up or down due to exactly that.
Atmospheric stacking and layers are each different densities. We are at the bottom of that in terms of on solid ground and are crushed down to the ground but resisting that crush because our bodies simply displace the stacked layers which are then imparted back onto us.
Displacement is the key word.
That's how we stay down and that's why we distinguish down from up. More dense down and less dense up.
No gravity fiction required.
Your stacked layers don’t get to decide.
They actually do.
Without gravity these so called layers of supposedly differing densities have no concept of up or down, there is nothing to stop the higher densities being above, beside or below another density because without gravity they are meaningless.
They don't need a concept of up and down, they're stacked in layers, they're not all the same dense make-up.
4000, I'm done. I know I've asked questions but we all know they wont be answered in any meaningful way.
Of course they won't be answered in any meaningful way...to you. The only answers you want are the answers you already dine out on.
Well you're not getting them from me. You'll get my answers and accept that they are my answers and move on or deck out like you appear to be doing.
No problem from me, you're your own person.
He can't even draw a sketch that a 12 year old could do
I haven't done one yet but a 12 year old may be able to leave me for dead in the sketch department. I never said I was good at sketching.
How come? You're sure of the earth's 'indentations ' which ensure water remains 'level' (it doesn't), you're sure the earth isn't a globe (it is), yet you don't know where our source of light and heat emanates from?
The centre of Earth.
I haven't been down into it to know exactly how far down and nor would I expect to.
