bold claims... The earth has been flat for a long long time. Can you summarize the findings?

Tallest_Skil ago

Blow your brains out, paid shill.

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

Who the fuck is financing the notion of a flat earth? Que Bono? wtf dude you really set off all the alarms for a shill. You go off like a mentally ill teenager continually on people you disagree with and refuse to engage in rational discussion. You marginalize yourself. WHy do you keep talking about people killing themselves? Your preoccupations are dangerous you'll find yourself committing the act when you can no longer bear the shame of a life lived so ignorantly. I don't know how I could deal with the psychological distress your in aside form a major psychological death or physical one.

Three guesses.

Said the flat earth mental defective without a shred of irony.

Because we’ll be killing you if you don’t.

Thanks for admitting that the Earth is a sphere.

Again no refuting arguments against flat earth just more subconscious screaming of the fact that you have been a victim of abuse.

Reported for admitting to being a paid shill.

  • Why can everyone south of the equator see the exact same stars rotating in the same direction around the same fixed central point in the sky due south of them, if they're supposedly all looking in different directions?
  • Why are the distances between degrees of latitude uniform and don't grow exponentially away from the equator?
  • Why does everyone on Earth get the same result for the Eratosthenes experiment, when people nearer the equator should get a much smaller circumference for the Earth than those nearer the poles?
  • Come to that, was Eratostenes part of the "round Earth" conspiracy?
  • And don't surviving records show that the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians based their astronomical forecasts on calculations assuming the Earth is a globe? Did this conspiracy begin at the dawn of civilisation, or are all such ancient artefacts nothing but Victorian forgeries, and if so why has this never been detected by modern carbon-dating techniques?
  • Why do arc lengths of given angles of longitude decrease rather than increase south of the equator?
  • Why does the sun not rise in the northeast and set in the northwest all year around for everyone on Earth?
  • Why does the sun set, when the law of perspective states that the angular size of the sun's altitude, like everything else, can't become negative?
  • Why does the sun's angular size not change throughout the day or year, since it is "moving towards and away from us" and is "closer than we're told"?
  • Seriously, did you fall asleep during geometry class, or are you just completely demented?
  • If you believe in zeteticism, why do you keep relying on magical and unprovable solutions, which can't be shown to exist with your own eyes and clearly don't exist at all? Apparently, zeteticism is just code for "make any old bullshit up and pretend it's true".
  • If photographs of a round Earth are a hoax, why not simply create photographs of a flat Earth?
  • A property of mass is that it has a gravitational force regardless of size. If the earth did not have a gravitational field, wouldn't that imply that the earth doesn't physically exist?
  • Where is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station located if the south “pole” is the whole circumference of the Earth?
  • Wouldn't creating such elaborate fakes and conspiracies cost an equal–if not greater–amount of money than the science they are supposedly covering up?
  • The idea of the Earth as a sphere has existed since the time of the ancient Greeks, long before NASA. What possible financial motive did they have?
  • What financial motives could NASA have?
  • How could the sun be a spotlight if it is a sphere? On the flat Earth the light projection would have to be a semi circle.
  • Why does the North Star goes to the horizon?
  • Why do constellations appear to be different in the Southern and Northern hemispheres?
  • Why is the Coriolis effect stronger near both poles, instead of stronger in the north and weaker in the south?
  • If the circumferential south pole is preventing the oceans from pouring over the edge of the flat Earth, why didn't the oceans disappear during the incredible amount of time it would have taken for that ice to form?
  • If the oceans would pour off the edge of the flat Earth if they could, where would they go? Does this mean that whatever keeps the oceans on the surface of the flat Earth only operates in a downward direction on the uppermost surface and is absent on the underneath?
  • Why are satellites visible from Earth with a pair of binoculars and even the naked eye?
  • How could a flat body maintain an atmosphere?
  • Why are other celestial bodies spheres but the Earth is not? How, and why, was the Earth created differently?

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

Why do constellations appear to be different in the Southern and Northern hemispheres?

Same reason as the sun and moon are not seen constantly. They disappear into obscurity through the vanishing point.

Tallest_Skil ago

So something that BY YOUR DEFINITION CAN NEVER MOVE INTO THE DISTANCE somehow goes to the horizon. Thanks for admitting that flat earth is a lie.

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

Wut? The sun moves. The earth has never been moved. You're attempting to play stupid and then act like your the shit with your ignorance. LOL.

Tallest_Skil ago

The earth has never been moved.

lol gravity dipshit

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

no proof thereof.

Tallest_Skil ago

lol drop a pencil, dumbass

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

yep. Just proved relative density is a real thing.

Tallest_Skil ago

drop

a

pencil

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

I drop all kinds of stuff. Same thing that which is more dense passes through that which is less dense in every case with exception to factors such as structural accomplishments that overcome. such as helium balloons or ships. or other exceptions where energy is added such as airplanes rockets and birds. Relative density. You don't even know about the only experiment ever officially recognized as proof of gravity do you? Balls in the barn one... so you cannot even effectively represent your position. Go look it up and come back and tell me about how those balls proved something and I will give you the rest of it.

Tallest_Skil ago

saturn doesn’t fall to earth, despite being less dense, because saturn doesn’t exist

lol dipshit

RickFlairWOOOOOO ago

Never said that. Saturn is a wandering star caught in the firmament.

Saturn is a wandering star caught in the firmament.

So why does it look so different from real stars, with its rings and discernable disc with cloud bands? Try looking at it through a telescope instead of reading a bunch of superstitious claptrap.
