if the earth is flat then radio waves would be too, right?

Let's see...Flat earth = flat radio waves?  The very nature of EM radiation prevents them from being 2D.  So does this mean round earth = round waves?

Then since is 99x broadcast from a 150 foot tall (approx.) antenna, i shouldnt be able to recieve the signal, when i'm about 141 feet below where it is broadcast from.

'Then since is 99x' is nonsensical.  What is 99x? Are you saying that the radar won't reach you because you are 141 ft below the dish at the base of it or 500 miles away?

Do FE's have reason to believe they do (satellites working similarly to solar-powered helicopters)?  Other than its relevant possibility?  (this again goes back to the "it's possible that it's magic" perspective, but I'm trying to debate based on science, which is supported by data -- so does any exist?)

yes, round earth = round waves... in a sort. They are broadcast in every direction.

it's obvious you havent googled 99x.

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have heard all day.  The waves may be broadcast in every direction, but this doesn't make them round, they are still linear.

I never said they werent linear, i was simply at a loss of words for an explination. radio waves are emited and the move in every direction, like an enlarging bubble. thats what i meant by "round".

i assume that if the earth were flat then instead of the "bubble" it would be like a disc.

it was an attempt to confuse. it's not like anyone CAN know if radio waves would act like that on a flat planet, since there isnt a flat planet to use to test it on.

I know how they would act on a flat planet: The same way they do on a RE.  Radio waves behave in a very regular pattern in three dimentions.  Since a FE is also three dimentional, they would behave the exact same way.

So, what do you believe? Flat or Round?

and you cant say for 100% sure that radio waves wouldnt act different on a flat earth, simply because you dont have a flat earth to test radio waves on. :)

How is it the same logic?  The former is the construction and evaluation of a mathematical expression, whereas the latter is a claim about causation.  How do you propose to relate them?

Then how can you claim flat earth is the truth?  How do you know you're not just completely falling under the government's plan to believe in a flat earth?

See, the earth is really a figure 8.  They perpetuate the round earth so noone will know the true form.  And to further keep people from discovering the truth, they purposely leak out details of the earth being flat and details of a huge global conspiracy.  So now, instead of thinking "hey, earth is round", you think "but it is really flat!", when in fact, it is a figure 8.

Your belief in the flat earth is exactly what the giant global conspiracy wants you to believe, and you're just another tool in the giant "figure-8" cover-up.
