I'm looking for a single scientific study which proves that the earth is a globe

How about me asking for proof about the sinking ship? or that the "shadow which occurs on the moon could come from any celestial body intersecting the light between the sun and moon"? Or that the "the stars are 3,100 miles  above the earth"?

Read the Flat Earth Literature. It's all explained there. I'm not going to do any remedial reading for you. In the literature we have multiple corroborative first hand accounts of researchers restoring the hull of a ship by looking at it through a telescope. There are experiments which triangulate the sun to be 3,000 miles above the earth and the stars even higher. There are chapters on the lunar eclipse along with equations for finding the time, duration, and magnitude of the lunar eclipse under the Flat Earth Model.

But this thread isn't about the Flat Earth Model. It's about the Round Earth model and what research studies exist to back it up.

I'm still waiting to see even a single study which exists to back up the 'fact' that the earth is a globe.

Once again the 100 year old book with no pictures comes up. Picture proof?

What about something such as this?

They measure the surface of the planet pretty accurately, and I'm sure they would notice if the planet was the wrong shape.

If you want to see a Flat Earth you can just look out your window.

Where are the studies?

Is that a link to a study which concludes that the earth is a globe?

It looks like it's just an article to me.

An article about a study.

An article about a study.

The link just makes phrases like "changes in the earth's shape are being measured from space is through the use of objects in deep space such as beacons by which to measure the distance between two objects on earth."

So where are the studies? The article doesn't even reference a single study a single study for us. There are zero MLA footnotes. There are no references to any single research paper or study.

Secondly, the article doesn't even tell us the results of the unreferenced studies. There is no data. As far as I know, the people in the studies are detecting a Flat Earth.

Don't ask a question if you don't want an answer.

You are ignoring everything present to you.  Don't ask a question if you don't want an answer.

I asked for a study which concludes that the earth is a globe. I got none.

You got plenty.  No one does studies about the shape of the earth anymore.  They moved on to better things.

You got more than that. Yuo got articles showing how you can find the curve of the earth. Thats more than proof, thats application.

Where are the studies for your model?

Actually, I got none.

What are you talking about "anymore?" If you can't provide me a single study, it means that NO ONE has ever done a study of the earth's shape and concluded that it was round. NO ONE in human history has ever looked into the issue of the earth's shape. There are no research papers. There are no experiments. Nothing.

The answer is "we don't have any studies," apparently.

Firstly, there were no articles posted in this thread which show me how I can find the curvature of the earth.

Secondly, I already know how I can detect the earth's curvature: just conduct Rowbotham's experiments across bodies of standing water.

i haven't seen any studies which studies the earth's curvature and concludes that the earth is round. I've only seen studies which study the earth's curvature and concludes that the earth is flat.

Where are the studies for your model?

How about this?

http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys240/homework/earth_radius/earth_rad.html

This page shows how you can measure the radius of the Earth with a stop watch.  Not terribly precise, but should provide a ballpark figure.

Firstly, that's not even a study.

Secondly, the author does not even preform the experiment. I don't see any results from this experiment.

Thirdy and most importantly, the link does not conclude that the earth is a globe. It already assumes so in its premise.

NO ONE in all of human history has ever looked into the issue of the earth's shape. There are no research papers. There are no experiments. Nothing.

Honestly Tom, I'm beginning to believe that you could absorb a neutrino.

No one?  How about just about anybody on this page?

No experiments?  We've linked lots of experiments, but you reject all of them because they aren't "studies".

This thread isn't about "I believe in a round earth because my first grade teacher told me so. This thread is about actual scientific studies in regards to the shape of the earth.

Where is the research?

I don't see any studies listed on that page.

Who has conducted experiments which have proven that the earth is round?

READ THE THREAD, FUCKING NOOB.

I'm trying to find things that need the planet to be a globe. Chances are you will never find an article performing a study to check if the earth is a globe as it's utterly pointless, and anyone trying to publish a paper along the lines of 'checking that the planet's still round' isn't going to get accepted and published by anyone. If you want something confirming the shape of the planet, you'll have to do it yourself.

So in other words, you haven't the slightest idea about the shape of the earth beneath your feet. Figures.

It's not my fault that your scientific community does not conduct actual research for its beliefs. If your science does not have a single piece of literature from which it is proved that the earth is a globe, how is knowledge of the earth's shape "basic fact" at all?

Newton didn't study the shape of the earth.

Galileo didn't study the shape of the earth.

Copernicus didn't study the shape of the earth.

If they did, they would have published studies on the matter.

I haven't come across a single study written at any point throughout the history of all time which comes to the conclusion that the earth is a globe. No analysis, no papers, no experiments, nothing.

The fact that there is no real evidence behind the globe earth puts your belief system to shame. Go ahead and admit it: "I believe in a Round Earth based on blind faith alone!"

Eratosthanes didn't study the shape of the earth. In his shadow experiment he assumes that the earth is round and gives us a guesstimate of its circumference based on the length of shadows in two different locations on earth. This only applies if the earth were a globe.

The figure he gives for the circumference of the Round Earth perfectly matches the diameter of the Flat Earth listed in the FAQ and Earth Not a Globe.

What experiments? I haven't seen any references to experiments which have proven that the earth is a globe.
