Normally a piece of evidence comes along with this
Have you seen this list? I can post it again.
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 think of it, was Eratosthenes part of the “round Earth” conspiracy?
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 civilization, or are all ancient artifacts nothing but Victorian forgeries? 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, year round, 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 toward 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 all 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 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 at least since the time of the ancient Greeks, long before NASA. What were their financial motives?
What financial motives could NASA have, since their budget is still cut every year?
How could the sun be a spotlight if it is a sphere? On the flat Earth, the light projection would have to be a semicircle.
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–if they could–pour off the edge of the flat Earth, where, then, 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?
I honestly don’t understand how you can be so reasonable about everything except this–a proven falsehood, a psychotic nonsense, and an obvious federal agent campaign. I never have. I’ve ignored it before, but it’s relevant now, so here we are, I guess.
It’s basic trigonometry and spatial recognition. The former you learn by 6th grade, the latter you learn as a 6 month old infant. Those alone disprove this nonsense, on a human scale, every single day. And night, come to think of it, since both hemispheres see the same stars (per hemisphere) rotate around a single fixed point, which isn’t possible in the psychosis of the flatties.
We agree on the formula to calculate the rate at which the surface should curve; there’s no disagreement there, as there’s plenty of calculators online available to do exactly that
So my big issue with it is I can go see for myself with my own eyes that I can see distant objects that are too far
I’ve seen the videos of the refraction due to temperature and it does distort the image to the observer, matching up with my decades of lived experience, but despite the minor refractions it isn’t remotely close enough to explain the observed evidence
Lines of perspective on a planar surface
Inverse square law
We use “their own math” to disprove the existence of surface curvature and this is where I’m struggling to figure out how this part is difficult
People say “check the math” and so we did, and that made us flat earthers
I hope it's at least clear that I'm earnestly looking for the truth and that maintaining the integrity of our communities is important to me, and I wouldn't want to deter people with well poisoning nonsense on purpose
Have you seen this list? I can post it again.
Man, I can answer these for you, but are you sure you don’t want to edit this first and remove the non sense double digit iq ones first?
Was your account taken over lol
