Flat Earth Q&A / Serious thoughts

So, I was right.  You took it to be to scale and I'm the dumbass?

 :roll:

Sorry when did i say it was scale, i was pointing out if you did take it for scale the earth would be 36 miles around. Thus pointing out the misleading nature of the diagram.

I am sick of this site, theres no one to hold a decent arguement with as the majority are those trying to point out how ridiculous the whole flat earth theory is. Cya i am off.

(I am saying i am rather than im because the damn apostraphe isnt working in firefox)

If you complete the circle with the arc angle and distance ratio it shows on experiment one the earth to be around just 36 miles across.

Is how misleading the diagram is dumbass. I don't believe either that a man is about an 8th of a mile tall.

However, by your original statement, you said that the arc angle and distance ratio shows the earth to have a circumference of 36 miles.  Please show me your math behind this one.

I've helpfully marked off on the diagram where i've duplicated and rotated the original diaram which was claimed to be 6 miles, to show that the diagram is misleading in the size of the arc over a six mile length. If you continue that ratio it makes the earth around 36 miles across (around would have been a better word tbh). This is because it took me around 6 mile lengths to complete the full circle which makes the earth according to that diagram, 36 miles around.

That diagram matters alot on that experiment yet it has been altered to prove the point beyond belief.

These experiments that are shown as evidence are quite funny. If you complete the circle with the arc angle and distance ratio it shows on experiment one the earth to be around just 36 miles across. You learn something every day.

Please tell me you realize the drawing is not to scale.  If not, I feel sorry for you.

Taken from a plane. Google is your friend Engineer.

You find a picture on Google and just assume it is from a plane?  Do you think much for yourself?

Well the writing underneath the picture on the site, said it was taken from a plane......

The Engineer claimes that he is a pilot and has not seen the curve of the Earth. This is bullshit, I have been in a plane when I went on holiday to Lanzarote, I saw the curve.

It was an illusion, wooooo...

There were video screens in built into the windows on the plane, its obvious.

Flat Earth Q&A / Questions without answers

Didn't want to start a new thread because all the ones on this site are essentially the same, prove this, prove that.

Anyway, how come clouds don't just float off into space or crash into us as we move upwards in accordance with this, 'Well, when I hold something in my hand and let go of it, the earth accelerates up to it. ' which no offence to the writer but had me rolling around on the floor in laughter.

EDIT:

The atmosphere, does the flat earth theory say it covers only the top of the earth or does it encompass the whole thing? If only the top  then surley it would be thinner at the edges infitting with a dome over the top of the surface, because this would mean that area that is thinly covered would be hotter than any over part as it has less protection, so these ice walls you talk about would melt?

EDIT 2:

This whole theory seems like guess work depending on the circumstances to support the earth is flat.

Its like,
The earth is flat:
-Why aren't we told this? - Its a conspiracy, all world governments are in on it.
-Wheres the evidence? - The evidence is witheld by world governments. (ie we haven't got any)
-What about gravity? - err oo, we're....flying up, through space, everything is, and that makes gravity, see?
-Why doesn't the water just run off the sides? - err, erm...you see....theres this big ICE WALL around the edge of the earth, that stops all the water falling off, see?

All these explanations are very convenient, it does sound to an outsider that someone has come up with a wacky idea and had to come up with some reasons to support his claim, on the spot and has come out with flawed explanations.
