Title: Globe Earth debunk
Post by: non.flatearther on January 06, 2020, 11:39:34 AM
So you globemadearthers are attacking our theory for a long time here so I decided to totally debunk your theory without any need for insults and logic that makes no sense in just a few points that their cannot explain and ours can.

1. HOW CAN THERE BE WATER WHEN THE GLOBE IS SPINNING AT 1000 mph

     Seriously this is just ridiculous just as a child spinning too fast on a playground on a carousel the water would just be thrown away with that big force. Also no need to say that the speed with which Earth rotates around Sun is also riduculous and the water just couldnt keep up with the Earth. Which brings me to another point.

2.IF YOU JUMP UP THE EARTH SHOULD MOVE UNDERNEATH YOU

    And it should move pretty fast... Noone has never seen anything like this so ... I assume that even  your little globe brains can see the point.

3. EXPERIMENTS THAT PROVE CURVATURE IS WRONG

    I believe you have heard about loads and loads of these experiments when you take a camera zoom to some high building or mountain over see and according to globe theory with curvature 8 inches per mile squared you shouldnt be able to see that building, mountain et cetera but you do. Seriously just look at youtube and you will find example of this pretty fast.

I thought you were meant to be a non-flat Earther?
Did you use the wrong troll account?

But to be nice, here are some simple answers.
1 - Quite easily. Earth rotates incredibly slowly. Do the math to show there should be a problem.
2 - The same reason when you jump on a plane you don't smash against the pack. Inertia or momentum.
3 - You mean experiments that disprove curvature are wrong, such as by ignoring refraction or the height of the observer. At other times they are just outright lies or repeating the same false information, like people claiming you can see the Statue of Liberty from 60 miles away at sea level, even though there is literally no where at sea level where you have a direct line of sight.

Well actually it may seem unbelievable for you but I have found out the real truth. I cant believe that I have been so blind my whole live.
I have actually did this with my old account to everyone see that I have changed.

1 - your magical math does not interest me and you even didnt show me that math you just say that its there??? weird
2 - inertia of momentum doesnt work like that
3 - I have actually done similar experiment by myself and got similar results.

Care to explain what that even means?
In the meantime we do seem to find that lighthouses, ships, huge buildings and even the Sun get hiddden brhind "something":

No, I'm saying you haven't shown that there is any problem.
Go do the math to show what the problem is.

Otherwise, we have Earth rotating slower than the hour hand on a clock, making roughly one revolution every 24 hours. Hardly fast enough to throw anything off.

2 - inertia of momentum doesnt work like that
So when you jump in a moving plane/train/bus/whatever, you see it move below your feet?
You end up right near the back, slamming against the wall?

If not, that is exactly how inertia/momentum works and thus you shouldn't expect to see Earth move when you jump.

3 - I have actually done similar experiment by myself and got similar results.
So you were able to see an object which literally cannot be seen, even if Earth was flat?
Forgive me if I don't just accept your baseless assertion, when all the available evidence shows otherwise and FE is yet to explain why the bottom isn't visible.

1. HOW CAN THERE BE WATER WHEN THE GLOBE IS SPINNING AT 1000 mph

Ok, let's start with one by one question:

1. Earth rotates once every 24 hours.
It is 0.000694 RPM.
Equatorial trajectory deviation is 15 degrees per hour, which is 0.00416 degrees per second (0.25 arc minutes).
It is much less than the turning that a train makes on curved track, or a bus on curved road.
Too small value to feel it.

1037 mph equals to 438 m/s.
(Away from the Equator this value is smaller, at poles is zero.)

Radial acceleration "a" at the Equator (reducing weight by pulling against "g") is
a = v2 / R = 4382 / 6 371 000 = 0.03 m/s2
The "g" is acceleration at which objects fall (acceleration that produces weight).
g = 9.81 m/s2

Obviously, everything (including water) on Equator is only
a/g*100 =  0.03 / 9.81 * 100 = 0.306% lighter than it would be without the Earth's rotation.

2.IF YOU JUMP UP THE EARTH SHOULD MOVE UNDERNEATH YOU

Following the same logic then, according to you, if you were riding on the last carriage of an open train and you jumped up then you should end up falling back down on the tracks because the train has carried on without you.

While standing on the train, you and the train have the same momentum. When you jump up you continue to have the same momentum so you move with the train even though you are not physically attached to it momentarily.  Same principle applies if you jump and down while standing the surface of the Earth.

1. HOW CAN THERE BE WATER WHEN THE GLOBE IS SPINNING AT 1000 mph

Momentum again.  Angular momentum in this case. The Earth would need to be spinning much more rapidly than 1000mph before water managed to overcome the pull of gravity.

Think about how rapidly the carousel is spinning in relation to its diameter at the time when the child is flung off.

So rather than debunking the notion of a global Earth, the fact that 2/3 of the Earths surface is covered by water is I would suggest strong evidence to support it.

I'll also answer, even though non.flatearther should understand he is wrong.

1. Do you fly off a merry-go-round when it is spinning? No. The Earth is simply not fast enough.

2. You are already moving with the Earth, and unless it suddenly sped up or stopped, you wouldn't move relative to Earth if you jump vertically.

3.The pictures rabinoz posted shows that curvature exist. You can see it with your own eyes, so I hope you can trust your own vision.

That sun seems to go from just under the "top half" visible to being entirely obscured in a matter of 55 seconds.

In RE it is not the Earth that is hiding the sun in those images. When the sun is touching the horizon in RE it is already below it. This is stated without empirical experimental evidence that it is the case. You are presenting us with what RE believes is an illusion to show us that an illusion is not occurring.

    It most certainly is the earth.  The light path is bent slightly by the atmosphere, but what else is in the way of the sun, if not the earth?

    And yet again, I have to remind you that refraction is very well understood.  If it wasn’t, those pictures wouldn’t exist in the first place.

    No, it is.
    The path of light from the sun to your eyes (which follows how light behaves as it traverses through different mediums) is obstructed by Earth.
    That sure sounds like the Earth is hiding the sun in those images.

    Even with FE with their magic bendy light, it would still be Earth hiding it.

    But you sure do seem to love clinging to well understood refraction as if it magically causes a problem for the RE.

    OK, something is hiding some and finally all of that Sun. What is that something?

    And that something seems to keep hiding the Sun until it re-appears about 12 hours later in the opposite direction.

      Actually, it is the Earth hiding the sun in those images.

      When the sun is touching the horizon in RE it is already below it. This is stated without empirical experimental evidence that it is the case.
      No Tom, it's stated using the known optical properties of the atmosphere and the proven effects of refraction.

      You are presenting us with what RE believes is an illusion to show us that an illusion is not occurring.
      Again, no.  RE sunsets are not an illusion.  The fact that the sun appears slightly higher than it really is does not change the fact that the sun is being hidden by the Earth.  It only means that we see it about 5-10 minutes later than it actually happens.

      FE sunsets, on the other hand, are indeed presented without any empirical experimental evidence.

      They are stretching the trampoline to provide more force to the person in the middle.

      But who really cares. That is quite irrelavent to the main discussion.
      Notice how they continue moving with the tractor, rather than smashing against hte back?

      Not the question that was being asked.
      That would only truly be applicable at the pole.
      Try jumping on a merry go round which spins once every 24 hours. See if you land in the same spot then.

      As you move away from the pole, you would need to jump outwards not upwards.

      Now perhaps you can address the more simple question:
      If you jump in a plane or train, do you smash against the back of it?

      And the Earth has angular-acceleration, which can now be readily measured at approximately 7.292 x10-5 rad/s, as poor Bob Knodel found :o to his dismay ;D.
      But the Earth's angular-accelerations no more than 0.034 m/s2 and does no more than affect what things weigh very slightly.

      The 1037 mph (463 m/s) on equator is also constant.
      (Away from the Equator it is lower, with zero at poles.)

      The equatorial trajectory deviation is radial and it is 0.004166666 degrees per second.
      It means the trajectory deviation is  463 * tan(0.004166666) = 0.0336 m/s = 3.36 cm/s.
      2.5 times faster than an average garden snail.
      (Away from the Equator it is lower, with zero at poles.)

      Average pedestrian walks at 1.4 m/s = 140 cm/s.

      I don't see how it can break any neck, whatever would be the "right kind". :)

      EDIT: Average elevators go from 5 to 22 mph, which is 224 to 983 cm/s.

      Go on, tell us what that has to do with contradicting the idea that "the earth has been spinning about an axis for millions and millions of years at a constant speed of one revolution per 24 hours."

      Don't insinuate an argument. Boldly proclaim it!

      PS, round earthers don't (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-rotation-summer-solstice/) believe that the earth has been spinning at a constant speed for millions of years.  But I don't think that can be attributed to an aspect of thermodynamics. 
      PPS, you might want to brush up on the conservation of angular momentum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum#Conservation_of_angular_momentum) before you find your foot in your mouth.  (Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.)

      the earth has been spinning about an axis for millions and millions of years at a constant speed of one revolution per 24 hours
      No, due to gravitational interactions with the moon and the motion of techtonic plates and the like it has not been constant.
      It has changed very little, but not much.

      despite the contradicting laws of thermodynamics(like entropy) which clearly tell us such an idea would be utter nonsense.
      And which contradicting laws would that be?
      Don't just provide a name, clearly identify what law it is and why it means that.
      I'll give you a clue, entropy is not a law which contradicts a rotating Earth.
      Entropy isn't a law, it is a property.
      It is a function of the number of possible microstates for a given macrostate.

      I assume you mean the second law of thermodynamics which states that the total entropy of an isolated system must never decrease?

      Please tell us what this isolated system is, and how Earth continuing to rotate will decrease the entropy of the system (note: Not just not increase it, but decrease it).

      Another flat earther talking crap about the laws of thermodynamics.

      If there was a problem with the heliocentric model and the laws of thermodynamics, someone would have noticed very quickly.  There isn’t though.  You are just making up whatever suits your argument.
      I notice your inability to actually write about entropy.

      Do you think just writing  “thermodynamics (like entropy)” demonstrates your deep understanding of the subject?
      Nope.
      Or do you just expect me explain in detail why a claim you pulled out your arse is rubbish?
      That would be good.
      Sorry, no.  Find a credible citation, then we can talk.
      Oh, I see...

      you want me to provide you with a definition of entropy...okay...

      Entropy is the tendency for things to fall into a state of disorganization...
      Or if you just personally don’t understand it, feel free to ask.  But you not understanding something does not make it a “law of thermodynamics”.
      Why would you attribute laws of thermodynamics to me?

      I didn't write them.

      They were formed on visible, verifiable facts, unlike the crapola you believe.

      For God’s sake.

      Please provide a citation for why the entropy (or anything else in thermodynamics) contradicts the scientifically accepted motion of the earth.  Or at least explain your reasoning.

      Do you even realise you’ve skipped over the whole link between the one thing and the other.

      I could just as easily say that Ohm’s law disproves the existence of God.  It’s about the same amount of justification you’ve given me for your claim.

      Everyone noticed your avoidance of marco's math debunk of your stupid carousel claim.
      And now instead of manning up to retract your point, or even attempting to double down, you switch gears to an even more complicated and ridiculous claim.
      Good for you!

      But maybe ill help you out since you didnt quite grasp your own insinuation.

      Entropy:
      Are you implying that instead of round balls in space, we should be a evenly distributed dense cloud of stuff?
      Because everything should want to randomize and acheive a low energy state of being?

      Are you saying that in the span of a single lifetime, since you have not noticed any change because perpetual motion "machines" are impossible and cant work therefore the space model is debunked?



      So we'll leave these possible claims for soka and co to dedebunk.

      I wouldn’t expect much. Typical Lackey, just standing on the corner, off his meds, shouting strange inconsequential non-sequiturs at random passers-by. He remarked on the trampoline gif, "Nice altered gif” without providing a reason why he thought it was ‘altered’ nor an issue with the content. Aside from insinuating something untoward about the 2 other fellows providing the ‘double-bounce’. Insinuating what? He chose not to share - Just barked that out. No rhyme or reason.

      Proceeds to provide zero response to all of the math & science around rotation and instead makes up some garbled message regarding ‘entropy’ like he just read the definition of the word for the first time, thought it was cool, and has been running around all day applying it to any and all interactions/conversations - He said to the barista, “You know, according to the laws of thermodynamics, that macchiato your making me is the perfect example of a high order substance, heated, then devolving into a lower order…” A millennial service provider eyeroll ensues.

      Now Lackey, how about providing a little bit more depth to what you may consider an argument that the rest of the world considers you just blurting out random words of disapproval.

      Entropy, while just a portion of the second law, is specifically, "...an expression of the disorder or randomness of a system."

      Total entropy always increases.

      Meaning everything is declining or devolving or degrading.

      Not maintaining or improving its state(s) of affairs.

      Sorry, but RE doesn't jive.
      And why not? If you bothered to read this quote you might note that the Earth's rotation rate is slowing down and the moon is moving futher away.
      Quote from: MICHELLE STARR5 JUN 2018
      Days on Earth Really Are Getting Longer Thanks to The Moon - They Used to Be Just 18 Hours (https://www.sciencealert.com/earth-days-getting-longer-lunar-retreat-astrochronology)
      Time seems to move faster as we age, but it turns out that maybe the opposite is true: our days on Earth are getting longer over time, and it's all thanks to the Moon's effect on our planet's rotation.

      But don't go planning your extra sleep-ins just yet. A new study has traced the relationship between Earth and the Moon back 1.4 billion years, and found that, all the way back then, a day was just over 18 hours.

      That means we've gained an extra six hours, give or take, since then - or, on average, a very unnoticeable 0.00001542857 seconds a year.

      And the reason is because the Moon is constantly, and ever-so-slightly, moving away from us. 1.4 billion years ago, it was a fair bit closer, and Earth's rotation was faster.

      And the day is still growing longer by between 15 and 25 millionths of a second every year.

      So what about "the laws of thermodynamics (like entropy)"? The Earth-Moon system did have kinetic energy converted into heat energy.
      Where is your entropy problem again?

      So you globemadearthers are attacking our theory for a long time here so I decided to totally debunk your theory without any need for insults and logic that makes no sense in just a few points that their cannot explain and ours can.

      1. HOW CAN THERE BE WATER WHEN THE GLOBE IS SPINNING AT 1000 mph

           Seriously this is just ridiculous just as a child spinning too fast on a playground on a carousel the water would just be thrown away with that big force. Also no need to say that the speed with which Earth rotates around Sun is also riduculous and the water just couldnt keep up with the Earth. Which brings me to another point.


      Take a globe (12" diameter, like the ones they have in schools)

      Wet the surface with water so water droplets are present on the surface.

      Rotate the globe at a rate of 1 rotation every 24 hours.

      Does the water droplets fly off?

      Scale the globe up to the size of the earth.....


      Additionally.

      Speed is relative.

      The average human male is 6 ft tall.  A mile is 5280 ft.  Something moving at 100 miles an hour is fast compared to our size.

      A garden snail is about 3 inches long.  It moves at a rate of 0.029 mph.  That is very slow compared to our size.

      The earth's circumference is 24901 miles.  A 1000 miles per hour is slow.

      The solar system is over 7.4B miles in diameter.  1000 miles an hour is so slow it's almost non movement.


      Think about it.

      Think about it.
      Simply put, rotate the globe at 0.0007 rpm.  Because the is the actually rotational speed of the Earth.  The purposeful misinformation of using a linear speed because it sounds so fast confuses many people and I honestly believe the majority of people saying it know full well that they are misconstruing things.

      It is a property which the second law discusses.

      Total entropy always increases.
      No, it never decreases, and that is only the total entropy of an isolated system.
      If you have a non-isolated system then the total entropy of it can decrease if the entropy of the surroundings increase enough to compensate.

      Sorry, but RE doesn't jive.
      Why?
      Again, you are yet to show a problem.


      Again, can you clearly explain why the second law of thermodynamics (the actual law not your misrepresentation of it) indicates Earth couldn't keep rotating at a constant angular velocity?
      Clearly explain how this decreases entropy.

      Jack, you clearly seem to know more about this than I do. How does the second law of thermodynamics doesn’t allow Earth to rotate? I believe that is your question to him though. I think it’s funny how everyone who believes in the Flat Earth ignores some of the most basic facts like accepting gravity, but go into some thermodynamics and entropy stuff when it isn’t even needed to prove this. The earliest records of round earth were predicted to be proposed with proof in 3rd Century BC. Why do you need 19th century gobbledygook that most (don’t rage at me if you do) you flat earthers barely seem to understand properly.

      2.IF YOU JUMP UP THE EARTH SHOULD MOVE UNDERNEATH YOU

          And it should move pretty fast... Noone has never seen anything like this so ... I assume that even  your little globe brains can see the point.


      1: The water is already moving with the Earth. If you have something in a plane, it doesn't suddenly fly into the back wall. It is already moving WITH the plane, just as the water is moving WITH the Earth. If the Earth suddenly accelerated, THEN the water might fly off the planet. But - just like in a plane - once the earth is at a constant speed, you don't feel anything.

      2: Same thing here. You are already moving with the Earth. If you jump in a plane or on a train, you will stay in the same spot because you are already moving at the same speed as the vehicle. The Earth doesn't move underneath you because, relative to the Earth (which is moving), you are stationary.
