A Counter to All Flat Earth Theory, with proven science and fact
« on: November 22, 2017, 06:33:34 AM »
I am here to argue the point of the earth being flat, this is science that has been accepted for a very long time, and I will answer any questions why the earth is round, and not flat. Please bring forth your points, and when I counter them, please don't get overly salty

Some may bring forth the experiment shown in the flat earth FAQ (Bedford Level experiment), this can be disproven with relative ease:
Light is known to defract over water, and bend downwards with the curvature of the earth. This can be shown in this video:
This experiment was done again, (I noticed it was not mentioned) but this time with a line of sight for reference. In the second experiment, the sight line was set at 13 feet above the water. This reduced the effect of atmospheric diffraction and showed the "bump" that is the curvature of the earth. This bump was shown by a middle pole.
A third experiment was done, with 3 poles set at fixed heights in that same channel. In this experiment, the middle pole was found to be almost 3 feet higher than the other poles. This is because the middle pole is slightly higher than the other poles, and light diffraction will cause the pole to look like it is floating, when in reality it is on the water, but light has bent away from it and so it looks higher this proved that the earth has a curve in it, and that the only reason that the boat could be seen at the end of the 6 mile channel was because of light diffraction

You will find nothing that you are looking for here.

This is not a place that merely argues that the Earth is flat... This is a place that argues that Nuclear power doesn't exist, 9/11, JFK, Newton's laws are fake, Einstein was a hack... Air pressure is the reason for gravity...


any points you bring up that are truth and real will not be refuted, only ignored or called shill lies.

Good luck and welcome!

Can't you see that there's no curve? No matter how high you go there is NO CURVE

Give me proof, go to the top of Mount Everest, and look around and if you see no curve, go higher. there is a curve, it has been proven several hundred times over. show me one experiment that was not debunked saying that the earth is flat

Except there is a curve when you go high enough.
The issue is the flatties then pretend that that footage is fake or dismiss the curve in it due to lens distortion, ignoring the fact that when compensated for it still shows a curve.

The simple fact the horizon exists shows there is a curve.
The horizon, as a sharp clear line (which it is at least some times, and that is enough), must be the result of an edge. It still exists at sea or on a level plane, where there is no clear definite edge (like you would get from say a mountain).
As you change height or move around, the horizon moves as well. It can be almost anywhere.
This shows the entire surface of Earth is basically a collection of edges, which only exists on a round shape.

If Earth was flat the only horizon you would see is the edge of Earth.

I can see there is a curve from not very high at all.  Out at sea,  in a boat.. the horizon all around me a couple of miles away in all directions..  That's the curve.    Then approaching land it appears top-first..  That's the curve..  Sunrise and sunset..  That's the curve.  Use your eyes and some geometry!

I don't try to argue curve... I argue satellites...

Really?

When you get high enough, iy certainly looks curved to me!


From near sea-level, sure looks perfectly flat and level,
but the sharp horizon is still evidence of a near horizon and hence of "curved water".
   

From Concorde, 50,000 ft, maybe a bit of a curve there.

Losing Your Ride at 121,000 Feet - starting to look convincing!
From a Flat Earther's video.
   

That sure looks curved to me, from about 200 miles, must be ;D CGI ;D

Not only does it look curved, but as Galileo is reputed to have said:
"Eppur si muove. And yet it does move.
Referring to the Earth, by legend, Galileo whispered this to himself as he rose from kneeling after making his abjuration of heliocentricity.
