Flat Earth Q&A / If there is a conspiracy, how can we tell the moon exists?

You flat earthers and your retarded notions.

Satellites aren't made out of the right stuff to be affected by the universal pushing force, and so would need some constant source of thrust to stay above the earth.

You think the earth is flat.
pwnt.Quote from: "mjk"YOU think i think the earth is flat.
pwnt! :lol:
Clearly you do, or you wouldnt be ridiculing your fellow REers.
havent you heard of metaphorical devils advocates?
i'm honestly surprised you've made so many posts without picking up how much fun it is to argue FOR FE rather than against.
Prove it.
Fine, since you can't be bothered to do a simple search, here is a thread where it is covered titled "Google Earth".

thats my main beef with n00bs, they tell us off for being to lazy to answer their questions when the fact is THEY'RE to lazy to bloody find the answers themselves.
Pictures of the Aurora? Come on Yardstick. That is perfectly reasonable on the FE.

the fact is that human eye sight cannot see to infinity, so eventually a ship will obscure and exit our field of vision. duh, was it really that hard to realise?Quote from: "safety not garanteed"i bet all of the flat earthers here are pseudo intellectual obese idiots in their 30's who play WoW all day and still live with mom and dad and have meetings with their 'colleagues' to discuss pseudo scientific garbage like this.
well I bet that all of the tards who come on here calling us idiots are 13 year old emo retards who, struggling to cope with their own patheticness, feel the need to insult other people because they're too stupid to realise what is actually going on.

Quote from: "dmario"When something like water is being pushed down by an outside force onto something flat with no borders, everything eventually spills off.
It's not being pushed down with an outside force, it's being pushed up. And yeah, it would all have spilled off assuming the ice wall wasn't there before it.
And that isnt possibleQuoteSo what if the ice wall is sitting on land? Water that's not frozen cannot stand there by itself.
But land can. The ice wall is really more of a continent.
I have ben lurking here for awhile and have read with great interest the various ideas supporting both theories and have come up a little short on some of the information regarding the flat earth theory. I have noticed the conspiracy theory being referred to quite often and am just wondering, where did the idea of a conspiracy first originate? I am not trying to be offensive or overstep my boundaries but it has occured to me that the conspiracy had to come from somewhere. What was the basis for the conspiracy? How were the ideas of the ice wall, the government coverups, the distances to sun and moon, and things like that concieved? It seems to me that if noone has ever survived a trip to the ice wall, there is really no evidence to support the idea that it exists. If noone has ever travelled to the moon, then it could exist at any distance at all. Basically I am curious as to how these concepts could be so specific without anyone being able to witness any of it first hand. As I said, I am not looking for trouble or anything like that, I am just curious and would like a better understanding. I don't knock anyone for their beliefs, I would just like to have all the facts so that I can make a more informed judgment. I realy enjoy the alternative views.
Every so often someone comes up with a truly valid experiment that succeeds in offering evidence of the RE within the context of what is acceptable as proof on this forum.
An example is the experiment Erasmus detailed for us whereby we could tell whether or not the earth is actually orbiting the sun by measuring the centrifugal force as the difference in the weight of an object at noon vs midnight. The results of this experiment would be noticeable, measureable, significant. So many of the RE experiments fail to satisfy these requirements, and then they wonder why the FE advocates don't just give up and admit defeat.
Maybe, but I'm also right.
The day you show me a graviton is the day I show you dark matter.
The same reason you would immediately dismiss photographs that came back looking flat.
It is contrary to what you "know" to be true, and so there must be some othe explanation for it.
Indeed.]
It is also worth noting that, even in the RE model, light travels "millions of miles" through vacuum, and then a couple hundred miles through atmosphere.
It is fundamental to the FE model that light does not travel indefinitely through atmosphere.
Great, another drama major.
Well, I can't see France, so surely the atmosphere obscures my line of sight after some certain distance.
Why do you think this same effect wouldn't happen with stars?
I was answering his questions directly and concisely. I don't see how that can be interpreted as spam.
