Title: Homemade pictures of space
Post by: stoeck on September 13, 2009, 12:45:55 PM
Couple of college kids built an extremely cheap rig that allowed them to get pictures from about 18+ miles up.  Shows curvature of Earth.  Perhaps some of the Flat-Earth people would like to repeat and share their pictures?

I would be glad to share my personal pics from altitude.


Looks pretty flat to me.

I have observed teh pics, stoeck, and to me, the earth looks quite flat in them.

This is quite a bit higher than your pictures.

Flat earthers naturally don't understand this concept.

Not so.

Well quite clearly they can't. This is because according to them gravity is not caused by mass & density, therefore helium balloons couldn't possibly escape gravity.......... oh hang on..... they do.

Must be the conspiracy!

Helium balloons are piloted by invisible gnomes, by magically floating upwards which gives the appearance that the balloons are actually floating upwards, when it is actually the invisible gnomes.

/flat earth logic.

LOLWUT?

What does gravity have to do with the weights of gases?   Is this a bait for floating oceans again?

Not big on science eh?

No my science is just fine.

Helium gas   0.00018 grams per ML
Air              0.00128 grams per ML

Helium is lighter therefore rises up through the air.  The 1G force applied to the earth that is being accelerated through the universe also pushes the air at the same rate and speed.  So im not sure exactly where you are confused.

Weight = mass x gravity.  Come now Wardogg, that's almost Monster Fail worthy.

Gravity as a force doesn't exist in either theory.

Anyone else notice the FE rats seemed to have abandoned ship, leaving the FE rejects behind to flounder about?

No one has "abandoned ship," dear. The claims have been satisfactorily refuted, and thus there is no real purpose for flat earthers to keep coming here.

Tis true.  I misspoke.  My second post is valid though.


I perfer the Moment = Weight x Arm equation better.  I understand it better.  ;D
