Flat Earther attempts to prove the Earth is flat. Get's self owned. Goes into a massive cope and still thinks the Earth is flat anyway. (twitter.com)

I came across a brand new (to me) flat earth theory the other day that was actually pretty cool.

My interest in flat earth is more in the evidence they have amassed that NASA, cosmology, and almost every other ology, is full of doctored evidence. From the ISS green screens, bubbles in space, to the balloon rocket launches. They are great at finding the walls of whatever asylum we are in.

I have no idea what our world is shaped like, but finding out where they are deceiving you is a good place to start. I would have expected more conspiracy theorists to be neck-deep in the blatant cgi, doctored images, and simulated zero-gravity BS that has been brought to light.

I think there is a targeted operation to make flat earth look so silly that no one will pay attention to it, not because the earth is flat, but because of what you might discover if you go down that rabbit hole.

My thoughts as well. I think the physical nature of our Earth is much different than what we were all told, and they dont want folks knowing it at all for some reason.

This comes from a “documentary” on netflix called behind the curve. It is a part of the heavily advertised (i.e. heavily funded) flat earth psyop.

If you want to discuss the flaws (or merits, if that is your view) in this procedure and learn the reasons it is no way an experiment - please join us to discuss it on flatearthresearch!

The short answer is, light’s path is affected by the matter it travels through. Purely optical observations like this are not the way to measure the surface of water reliably.

The path you talk about represents the visible path by matter. The light itself goes on, no matter the temporary matter in-between. Ongoing (cause) generates momentum for temporary (effect). Only within momentum can temporary perceive the consequences of ongoing...light.

Hope he measured and placed those holes correctly or the experiment is void. Why don't we simply stick with the mountains, islands, lighthouses, and city skylines that have been observed far beyond what should be geometrically possible on a sphere that is 24,901 miles in circumference?

Where are the distortions? Flat planes can't be projected onto a sphere without introducing distortion, and vice versa. Basic topological axiom.

It's extremely noticeable in the 'southern hemisphere'. Of course on a FE map it would be more accurate to describe the southern hemisphere as the outer hemisphere, and the north would be the inner hemisphere with the equator dividing the two. Try booking flights between South America and Australia. They are much further apart in the FE reality than on the globe model. The best example is Perth to Buenos Aires. The shortest route on the globe would be a 7800 mile flight over the south pole. In reality you will only find flights with several connections that go through north America or something.

My pount is that is deterministically provable. Where specificially did globe earthers get it wrong? What "area" of earth is distorted in reality? And what is the deterministically calculated sq miles of area that is distorted?

Again. Deterministic. So proof should be easy.

Yet, that proof is nowhere, thus, flat earth theory is false. QED

How would you physically measure the distances between landmasses or continents? You can only take boats or planes, but those travel through mediums that move (air/water) so speed, distance, time calculations would be altered by these elements. Really there is only one why we physically measure these distances between landmasses, with communication cables that are laid across the ocean. Look at how they are laid between continents on a globe vs a flat earth map. Which one do they make more sense on? Why aren't there any cables between South America and Australia?

Also if we can book any flights between South America an Australia (that fly as near as possible to the south pole) I think that would prove to any flat earther the globe is true. There are rare flights capable of long range that can go direct, but their path goes over the ocean near antartica taking advantage of the southern jet stream for extra speed.

Here is a career land surveyor who talks about how his entire career never once accounted for earth curve. And no matter how many surveys are taken over a city or county, earth curve is never a factor.

Compute the areas speculated under both scenarios. The maps could be rotated to push distortions wherever you want, your locality for example.

This is so retarded, lol.

If you are referring to the surveyor he talks about independent surveys bordering eachother like a flat puzzle. If you tried bending a jigsaw puzzle over a curved surface you can imagine what would happen. The curve is never an issue.

Okay, obviously you're unable to follow along.

"Flat earth" -- the only uncensored conspiracy theory on the internet... so you know its real

the only uncensored conspiracy theory on the internet

Flat earth (the subject) is not a conspiracy at all. It is falsely portrayed as one by the flat earth psyop to suppress and discredit it (just like the majority of the other things labeled “conspiracy theories”, and the purpose of that terminology).

so you know its real

The subject is real and valuable to study, which is why it is suppressed.

Anyway, you determine if things are real / have merit by thoroughly validating them - not by assuming they are or are not “censored”. As it happens, flat earth (the subject) is heavily suppressed; and although that does suggest that it is valuable (to warrant the suppression) it doesn’t prove it in and of itself.

Actually, YouTube restructured its algorithm severely once flat earth became over the target popular. It was the one subject they felt compelled to act to”re-educate” the “silly rubes.” That is, until COVID came around.
