Haven't FE proponents numerous times brought up that the flat disk earth would seem round from above, or even if it's not disk-shaped but infinite or whatever it may seem circular due to bendy light, sun's spotlight illumination or something else. So, what I've been saying here is, why on whatever shape earth these jumps would be impossible? Again, it's a friggin' balloon going up and a guy jumping off then deploying a parachute. According to some that requires magic but so far there has been no explanation offered whatsoever why a high altitude jump is impossible or why these particular jumps must have been faked.It doesn't require any magic if he jumps from a sensible height. Just not the height that they claim to have jumped from.I'd say a height of maybe 20,000 feet and I'm being extremely generous with him for this height.You only have to look at the footage to see how silly it all gets. It's worse than pathetic and after all the fakery is over, they show a picture of him, in all his glory, coming down in his parachute, perfectly in focus, despite him being supposedly 70 km off course.It's ridiculous.
Staying on topic of these jumps.

Commercial jets fly above 30,000 feet. Weather balloons routinely break 60,000 feet.

So what makes this impossible?
Quote from: DuckDodgers on April 27, 2013, 09:16:12 AM So what makes this impossible?Because if it involves atmosphere, relative motion, light, optics, video cameras, math, photography, or any type of physics in general, then it's beyond Sceptimatic's ability or willingness to comprehend, and therefore they're magic and fake, etc.
air does not exist
i don't know of any intelligent flat earther
Do I need to put any words to this?[video clip]
No bawwing is necessary.
They clearly used a fish-eye lens in Felix's jump. That alone is deceiving.
Yep!
LolFlat,The question is, what camera lens was used to take that first photo?
Quote from: EarthIsASpaceship on May 30, 2013, 03:18:13 PMYep!Have a look at the following pictures. Below the google earth image from roughly the same location, same altitude and same perspective as the first high altitude picture. Same curvature. It would be very coincidentally if both google and the photo have the same distortion. (remember to scroll to the left and right, or download the picture to view on your computer
Aether is the characteristic of action or inaction of charged & noncharged particals.
Thanks for the baseless assumptions, but I am actually saying this photo was taken from a balloon, not an imaginary spacestation. Now if you think you can prove that this photo was taken at an altitude too high for a balloon, carry on. I can't believe there are fully grown educated adults walking around that believe in spacestations.
Quote from: Thrown on April 19, 2013, 04:05:13 PMPhotos that clearly show a rounded horizon from the vantage point of spaceDoes that not look like a flat disk to you? I mean, FErs say that that is the spot light of the sun, shining down on earth. A huge circle lit up, the rest is night and the edge, the terminator of the sun.

^That video is obviously fake. You can't think that's real, can you? Come ON, guys!!....
