I don't think the earth is flat, but I've seen their model enough to understand how they think the earth works. One thing that has always puzzled me is why they think the horizon would be a flat line?
There are two reasons it wouldn't be.
First, if the sun is shining down on the flat earth like a spotlight, you are going to see a curve where the light is at due to that spotlight shape.
Second, if the flat earth is disc shaped, you are still going to see curvature where it curves around the disk.
Anyone see that youtube video of the follow up of the flat earth tard that self owned when he tried to shine a light through a hole ~3 miles away?
He's still a flat earther. He just developed another convoluted cope using wrong math again.
I'm sure we could fire off a flat earther shill into space and they could see the globe and still find someway to convince themselves that it was a NASA psyop.
It's a bottomless pit from a minority of very loud posters that could be paid agitators.
Playing Devil's advocate, couldn't that curve we're seeing be the "edge" heading back towards the observer?, that would give the appearance of a curve, no?
If you were looking at a disk and could see the curved edge, than you should be able to see the entire known landmasses, and the ice wall, and the further continents unknown to us beyond the ice wall, before you see the curved edge of the disc.
I thought that as well, until I read Auguste Picard's 1937 balloon account, where he stated that, upon reaching his balloon's max elevation (don't remember how high he got) He stated that the "edge" looked like an "upturned plate". He left England, and landed somewhere on continental Europe. I would think that his use of "plate" implies he believed the "edge" to be round. Alas, I can't go beyond the 8oth south parallel to verfiry , per treaty.
I agree that the footage of a flat horizon, from any altitude, is not “proof” or even particularly compelling evidence for the shape of the entire world.
However, it is good evidence that we were mistaught about what the horizon is and that, supposedly, because it appears to curve at some increasingly (literally, since this myth began to be spread, the altitude required to supposedly see it always increases with public ability to verify/refute it) unattainable altitude - that proves the world is spherical. Both “proofs” are bunk, and for similar reasons.
Does it bother you that you have to fabricate things that i didn’t say because you can’t rationally respond to any of the the things i actually said? It would bother me if i were you ...
In any case, your fabricated “quote” is nonsensical. Math is merely a language. It isn’t fake, but everything written with it isn’t automatically true/real as a result.
Be sure to check the video description for a details of how they calculated their red line curve. They even included their GNUplot code.
You sure do post a lot of flat earth content don't you?
This is globe earth content. The earth is a spinning spheroid. Tell everyone. Big Flattie is lying to you.
Oblate spheroid. Not a globe. I agree, somebody is lying.
Fishing for those FE terrorist. They could be lurking anywhere. Big nose sniff.
Almost as though anyone who believes it is either a paid shill or mentally ill.
Gee.
This guy glows.

Depends which FE model you're using; many of them think that there is no "disc" and the Earth just keep going forever beyond the "ice wall".
FE is boring anyways, I prefer Mobius Toroid Earth :p

"Math is fake"

Lmao that's your proof!? Looks like someone drew a curved line that doesn't quite match a flat horizon. Auguste Piccard knows what's up.
There's better things to talk about. Stop wasting our time.
No. Free speech.
Yeah, I was banned for a month for free speech.
Then, threatened with permanent banning if I spoke about certain things.
I guess free speech for some?
I don't think a mod could do right by you on this forum.
Banning me and threats of being banned for exercising free speech isn't right, is it?
I've seen you call for plenty of other users to be banned. Even following them around harassing them.
Quit crying you fucking pussy.
Who's crying?
The mod is lying about free speech.
Oh, and it wasn't "plenty of other users". Go ahead and point out more than one, which MANY people have called to be banned.
The mod even just banned someone for posting about it.
