And if you want: Yes or no, did you pass high school physics. And if you answer, what is your stance on the shape of the earth?

I passed high school in Australia, did classes in astrophysics though an accelerated learning program, went to college and have travelled the world examining the earth and sky from as many standpoints as possible.

The Earth is a sphere.

I kinda lied with this poll... I'm still IN high school but I do have plans to pass it as I am getting Bs and As right now. I'm a rounder, by the way and I have an interest in Astronomy and Physics.

See, I know that there has to be some flat earthers on this site.. I think.
So the fact that none of them voted either says they don't want us to know if the passed high school or not, or they did not see the poll.
Flat earthers, I know your there, cast a vote and see what the results are. It may show even to you, what kind of people are defending this claim.

Because the thread is a useless waste of time, as it does not prove anything about earth. I passed HS in the top 2% of the USA, and I have owned all of you with the physics of water, got you to agree space is not a vacuum. Even shot down the Foucault Pendulum. That's what happens when you deal with people smarter than you.

This is all you have, an attempt to insult FE-ers. What a sorry waste of time!

Slight Correction P.E.

You have misrepresented the truth in a vain attempt to make facts fit with your preconceptions
to your own satisfaction.

You have not shown anything true to reality in your misapplication of physics.
You have presented various straw-man hypotheses.
You have ignored or dismissed any contradictory evidence.
You have total confirmation bias, anything that agrees with you is true, no matter what its source or if it has been debunked.

Who agreed that space is not a vacuum?

It is a perhaps a point of semantics,

EG, the beer glass contained one molecule of beer, so it was not empty....

If Something is 99.999% devoid of matter, and there is no atmospheric pressure, it's a vacuum to me.

There are laws that govern how the universe, and the matter within it work. These include Newton's laws, the speed of light etc.
If you have taken high school physics, you would understand that these laws do not allow the existence of a flat Earth. Saying that these laws are not real or are made up, would be extremely ignorant, as you observe them everyday.
Thank you for contributing to the poll, oh wait.

For the past few months, I've read many theories and saw many videos on the net that support the Flat Earth, but to be honest, none of them would stand a chance of being a fact unless scientifically proven or observed from outer space - and both are off-limits from the public!

I proposed a trip/ expedition around Antarctica - if we make it around, then I think the issue and the debate is settled!
But if we sail/ fly besides an endless ice wall for thousands of miles, then Fers win!

Also, you should have some patience. You can't expect the FEers to be online at all times, especially the middle of the night on a Saturday.

This is actually a very astute observation of something crucial - the flat earth theorists are usually all asleep at the same time. This implies that they live in similar timezones - as has been observed before, the Flat Earth theory seems to be both a northern hemisphere thing as well as a north American thing.

As an addendum, has anyone every met/seen/heard of a Flat Earth theorist from the southern latitudes? One one that has been to them?

No you did not.
Yes I am calling your statement a lie, again.
Also No you have never owned anyone on this forum, you HAVE made an absolute fool of your chosen persona.  No you have never shot down anything, you ignore anything that counters your argument.
When did anyone claim that space was a perfect vacuum?  No you have never gotten anyone to claim it was filled with air as you like to suggest.  Your persona has a lack of comprehension, debating skills, and critical thinking skills.  Your claims are laughable at best, you are the joke of this forum right now.

Gee, I've never seen ANY high school in the USA that ranks its graduates across the nation.  And I doubt you've yet made it to high school let alone passed it.

and I have owned all of you with the physics of water,
ignoring rebuttals and resorting to logical fallacies is not owning.

got you to agree space is not a vacuum.
translation: Proved I don't know what a vacuum is or what I'm talking about.

flat out lie.  Back to ignoring posts and proving you don't know what you're talking about.

You might want to look up what those words mean.
You got your ass handed to you repeatedly.
You are yet to own anyone or shoot down anything.

The physics of water still support Earth being a spinning globe, space is still a vacuum and Foucault's pendulum still shows Earth is a spinning globe.

We used to have some FEers from the mythical land of Australia, but i think they were all kidnapped by penguins.  Also, we definitely have some FEers from the UK.

Most forums are a bit dead on the weekends. I was just trying to tell the dingdong who posted the poll to chill out. People, no matter where they are on the plane, tend to post from work.

Right. Now, the fact that it can rise and set in the manner it always does (which, I'm assuming is how it does for the rest of the world - maintaining constant-ish size for the whole day, sinking to the horizon then disappearing from bottom to top) is fundamentally incompatible with the Flat Earth model: it's not circling overhead then vanishing into the distance, staying at the same altitude and shrinking away to nothing.
No amount of perspective abuse or manipulation of linear geometry can produce an effect like this.
Pure and simple, it doesn't work. It can't. At all. Ever.

We have gone around the earth several times in a plane. The problem is FEers accuse any evidence against FE as a hoax and take all bullshit for FE as the truth.

Military is not going to shoot you down because it is illegal. According to the Antartic trety, military presence in Antartica is banned. Every person on earth owns it! Anybody can go there without a passport.
