I'm not sure what you mean by this. Even if you think the Artemis mission is all fake, what these psychos are proposing can still be done in principle. In fact, even if you are some sort of globe rejecter, this would still be possible. It is totally conceivable that they could fly jets around the flat earth dumping pollutants into the atmosphere to fill up the firmament dome or whatever, blocking out the sun to "save the world from climate change."
Yes, I'm an ex glober. Because it's obvious. Flying jets and dumping toxins on us is already there. And climate change is the excuse they will use to dump even weirder shit on us...so, I guess what I'm saying is that this is fake and it's only a piece of the propaganda they will use to convince us they are spreading toxins that will harm us, which they will do one way or another anyway. Relax, we have always been fuct.
I see. Well, they may or may not have been dumping some chemicals in the air these past years, but I don't think they were doing large scale solar reflection. And they certainly weren't so openly talking about it, they were actually denying "chemtrails" like crazy. I'm not saying the shit in the air is good, I doubt it is. I'm just saying that if there are open propositions to do this in the science world, they are likely planning on a serious project, and the consequences of blocking the sun will be absurd. Not to mention the health impact of whatever particulate they end up using.
I'm not sure rejecting the globe is really that obvious. I keep looking for an FEer with a good argument. None of them really have one, and everyone keeps saying everyone else is a shill trying to make the movement look bad. Meanwhile, man has mastered the world so thoroughly we are seriously considering flying around it and dumping shit in the air to blot out the sun. And conspiracy corners have to take this seriously, because we actually do have the technical means to do it.
If you can fly around the world and fill the atmosphere with sun blocking chemical agents, you probably have an accurate map.
Instead of looking for someone to convince u have u tried researching?
Add in some critical thought and u may get it one day.
Yes, I have tried researching. As I said here and elsewhere to you, I have given the FE people way more time than they deserve. Despite their poor track record, when I meet a new believer I always ask where they are researching it. You are in effect saying "why don't you research this thing you think is wrong until you convince yourself"? I don't expect FE to be true, but to not be close minded, I always check to see if there is a good argument I have not come across yet.
That isn't too polite. I have provided answers to everything you asked. They were probably too thorough. I am refraining from any ad hominems, but I will let you know that I find it a bit ironic to be told I need critical thought by someone who unironically thinks that the globe model predicts east and west flight times to be different and helicopters to be unable to hover. In engineering / physics school, that Eric Dubay "proof" would be the equivalent of a "dad joke."
I also asked you once whether you think it is impossible for drones / RC helicopters to hover on a 500 mph airplane or whether flying one to the front of an airplane will take a different time than flying one to the back. Assuming you don't believe this (since we have all been on airplanes before and know the answer), why is flying a model helicopter on a 500 mph airplane different than aircraft above a 700-1000 mph earth? I never received an answer.
You can talk with me. I'm not a FLat earther. Like Jesus faggy shit, no flat earth community. I just use basic observations and math to determine without a doubt that the theory that we are actually on a globe and moving is impossible.
It takes weeks to unlearn and relearn. I can help, but there is no way I will waste my time with trying to convince someone who doesn't want to be open.
The map of the earth is best measured by the Gleason map. Though, of course, the mainstream would not support that. Australia looks wider than we are used to seeing. I drove across it back when I was still a glober, I remember it feeling much longer than we expected and now I wish I had measured my kms to the stated kms on the maps. Anyway, I digress.
It's easier to approach the problem of FE if you take logic and scienctific method seriously. Meaning, the theory is that we are on a globe. It's not the known. Don't try to prove it's flat, prove it can't be moving, or prove it cannot be a globe by trying to measure curvature. You can also do a proof if you have a friend that lives a long ways away from you. And you both measure observed angles to the sun (or star, or moon) and use trig to figure out that the earth could not be a globe. There are hundreds of ways to see how obvious it is, once you know what you're looking it (tides, sonar, the time of daylight in winter and summer, reflections of moon on the ocean, just using binoculars to see distant buildings or boats, then there are experiments like Airey's failure, back in the early 1900s the debates of FE in the science community were palatable, nobody thought the earth was a globe except the power backed institutions that eventually won. What people believe is good as the truth....but again, first have to unlearn
The shit they put in the air will be for something other than blocking the sun, that is just the excuse they will use. And ya, it probably will make it darker, but the real reason won't ever be know to the test subjects.
Are you saying the Gleason map represents distances correctly? That is an interesting anecdote about driving Australia. I think the globe claims Australia is about 2500 miles wide while the US is about 2800. Are you saying it seemed big like bigger than the US? On a Gleason, Australia is substantially wider than the US, so that would be testable.
I'm surprised you are recommending using remote friends to do astronomical observations. I have long thought the best argument in FE was the great difficulty in unambiguously seeing the curvature, and that fitting astronomical observations was a large difficulty for them.. What observations are you saying will prove the earth is not a globe?
What argument regarding tides, sonar, daylight times in winter / summer, etc. are you referring to?
