Hey Techros. A lot of the people on the forum don't really believe in FE theory they just like to make fun. But actually they are working for the NASA, trying to undermine our work. The space station and program is a  big conspercay run by the OBoma. He hinds his stuff in the mountains tha he builtd to hid it. All mountaisn went up about 40 years ago by my reconing. Some are hollow and hind the Obomas, others are just green screens put up by the government and the socialists. He is a obomuinist mountain being built https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pyramids/@30.0526027,31.5453304,385m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x14583e6c185717df:0xd7bf55bc9d7eeff3

The only real mountains are mount Sinai and mount Rushmore. Stop the lies stop the Obomsa stop the mounatins

These are the sort of people that become FE'rs. Convinced yet?

Any evidence? Please?

Let us assume that the question is: Is the earth flat? Now, lets take this a step further, let us question the answer to this question. I common and accepted answer to this question is “no, of course not,” while we would be quick to label those who challenge this statement as “radicals.” This present dynamic that has festered for so long in our country and so many others is the work of mainstream science and its mouthpiece, the liberal media. All your life, you have been inundated with “facts” and statements proclaiming the “irrefutable” theory that the earth is a sphere and you have become completely desensitized. Because of this, you simply take for granted that the earth is round, even without examining the real facts and realities of this question. If I were to ask is the earth round and why is this true, you would most likely respond with the affirmative and tout some well known “proofs.” If this is true, you are wrong. If I denied your claim, I would naturally be obliged to explain myself and this is exactly what I intend to do.
Firstly, let me give you a short geography lesson. Our flat earth is a disc rotating horizontally with its center at the north pole. Around the north pole, the continents are laid out on a flat, circular plane. This organization makes it possible to circumnavigate the globe and by traveling in what we believe to be an easterly or westerly direction. However, in order to circumnavigate the earth, a ship must travel in an arc around the north pole. We believe we are moving in a straight line and are convinced of this by the compass, a tool that we operate under the false suspicion that the earth is a sphere. Yet in reality this is not the case, as one moves say east, the angle between them and central north pole shifts and the needle will move. This movement of the needle it taken to mean that the traveler is straying from a straight path but this is not the case, to compensate for this movement of the needle, the traveler will adjust their course so they are once again moving in an easterly direction. Repeating this process as a ship travels around the earth results in the ship moving in an arc around the north pole, allowing it to circumnavigate the earth in what is believed to be a straight line.
Additionally, our disc shaped earth is surrounded by a wall of ice the you may know as Antarctica. The common misconception is that Antarctica is on the bottom of the “globe” and the home of the south pole while in reality Antarctica runs along the circumference of the earth, acting as a sort of wall. Now you might say that this is false and point to the fact that people have traveled across Antarctica and ended up on the other side of the “globe.” Again let us examine the role of the compass. As the traveler crossed Antarctica they would have had to continue adjusting their course to maintain a southerly direction due to a change in the angle between them and the north pole. As a result, the traveler out walk the along the circumference of the disc and could in fact end up on the other side of the map.
There is also the complexe theory of gravity to recon with. According to sphere earth theorists, the earth turns on its axis and orbits the sun and this creates gravity. However, if the earth were round, gravity would have to be acting in one direction on one side, and another direction on another side, in short, gravity would have to be acting in an infinite number of directions to be pushing down on the surface to the spherical earth. It is simply not possible or one directional orbital movement to create force that acts in an infinite number of directions. On the other hand, in the flat earth model, gravity is created by the earth’s constant upward movement. As the disc earth moves upwards(one direction), a one directional force acts against it, creating gravity.
Also, you may point to the fact that as you gaze out across the ocean, your vision cuts off in an arc, giving the onlooker the allusion that the horizon in an arc and suggesting that the earth is a sphere, however this is nothing more than an allusion. As you look out across the water, there reaches a point where it is so far away you cannot physically see the horizon and you vision cuts off. You cannot expect your vision to cut off in a clean straight line, no of course you can’t, this is simply not how eyes work, just think of your vision as the radius of a circle, you can only see as far as the radius and as you turn your vision, you see a horizon in the shape of an arc. This arc is not the gradual curve of the earth but instead the natural cut off point of your vision.
Now I have presented simple facts in favor of the flat earth theory. These proofs are simple, straight forward and can be understood by just about anyone. This proof does not really on the backing of “common knowledge” nor complex scientific reasoning. On the other hand, the spherical earth theory call for complicated equations and assumptions that are far from intuitive. However, the backbone of the sphere earth theory is that for generations we have lived under this idea and come to take it as an undeniable truth. Yet, this is not truth, it is a lie, a farce and a scam.

The difference is too small to be noticed by eye. Take a grain of sand 0.1 millimeters wide and another 0.09 millimeters wide and see if you can tell the difference.
why don't you take that grain of sand & study it cristal formation instead. It will tell you more then attempting to shoot straight lines with out a viable starting point to make any reliable assertion .

It's a truly great website and obviously dedicated to making the world a better place...by mocking right-wing nutjobs, obviously including yourself.

If you want proof you can go and see the same article along with others in the "our paper" section of the Liberty gazzette website. I don't think you really read the article because it is laying out the very evidence that you have been asking for and I would be happy to discuss it with you. I am not a right winger, I just love america, kansas, where I live,(kansas) and freedom. You my friend unfortunatly seem to be a wrong-winger. The J stands for justice, I thought that was clear.

Signs you are a right-wing nutjob:
You say you love America. Loving America doesn't make you a right-wing nutjob, but it is a bit of evidence.
You say you love freedom. See previous.
You say I'm not a true patriot for disagreeing with you.
You call me a commie.
You're an idiot. I bolded some of your errors. It's not worth the effort to do all of them.

'Unfortunately, over the years, Joe McCarthy has gotten a bit of a bad rap as a result of his involvement in what some believe to be “uncalled for” and “inflammatory” actions. Now, many of the greatest heros of history have been misunderstood and even ridiculed (as was McCarthy) during their lifetimes, however McCarthy took this a step further. While most true heros who are scored during their time on earth go on to be honored and hailed as heroes after their death, McCarthy was still hated after his death, proving that proof that he is a true hero? McCarthy triumphed against adversity, challenged wrongs plaguing American society, and brought glory to his county all the while facing ridicule from his own fellow countrymen who were evidently under influence of some foreign power (the Reds!).'

If that's not satire, I don't know what is.

Actually, I just realized some typos I missed before, so maybe you DID write this.

No I see you don't . http://www.controlglobal.com/articles/2009/guidetopressureleveltrans0902/

The level of a liquid in a vessel can be measured directly or inferentially. Examples of direct level measurement include float, magnetostrictive, retracting, capacitance, radar, ultrasonic and laser level measurement technologies. Weight and differential pressure technology measure level inferentially. All have problems that can potentially affect the level measurement.

How about we just do the bedford level experiment on a much larger scale?
Like Africa to N. America. Just have a powerful telescope, and wait and see.
If you cant see the coastline of N. America, then the earth is not flat.
The reason why you can't see America is because of the curvature.
What is there to get confused about?
They are taking the hobbits to Isengard.

Putting proper controls in place for accurate results of experimentation.  Confusing FE people since Rowbotham.
Confusing people ? Well that would be you curviture shit talkers .

Yep, as I thought, you don't even understand what I said.

Insofar as this website is concerned, I may be in the minority, but as one of those persons whom the "flat earthers" call "round earthers" the problem that comes to my mind is.:

This is the year 2015. How can any person of sane mind and reasonable intelligence , expereince and observation, even think, much less believe, that the earth is such a thing as a flat disc surrounded with a 150 feet high wall of ice, etc, and  disregard all science and evidence and not know that the earth is the spheroid shape and size that is ? I would consider this a "flat earth" subject question ? Yes or No ? How could you even think or  believe "Why The Earth Cannot Be Round." ? ;D

Self confession. I am a shill. I get a paycheck every month from a government agency. Even though it's not NASA. ;D

Stick close , very close , to your P.C.and never go to sea
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Look out your window , see what you shall see
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Chorus:
Yes ! Never, never, never,  ever go to sea !

Phuck the bucket , lets go with a half full  big olypic swimming pool instead & truck load  of bricks . Now I would like you  to place that truck load of bricks in the centre of the pool & then tell us all what happend to the water. Then shift them to each end of the pool & tell us what happend to the water.
The water level rises a bit.  What else should I be looking for?  What is an olypic swimming pool?
25mx50m & thats right the water rises" level" . No mater where you  place the bricks in the pool . The hydraulics of water proves the earth is not spherical & there is no curviture.
How much variation would there be over a 50m length given the radius of the earth?

Or 50 Meters length given the length of the  circumference of the earth as well as the radius of the earth  ?
Stick close , very close , to your P.C.and never go to sea
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Look out your window , see what you shall see
And you all may be Rulers of The Flat Earth Society

Chorus:
Yes ! Never, never, never,  ever go to sea !

No I see you don't . http://www.controlglobal.com/articles/2009/guidetopressureleveltrans0902/
The level of a liquid in a vessel can be measured directly or inferentially. Examples of direct level measurement include float, magnetostrictive, retracting, capacitance, radar, ultrasonic and laser level measurement technologies. Weight and differential pressure technology measure level inferentially. All have problems that can potentially affect the level measurement.

You actually don't know about differential level sensors,  what you linked to is differential pressure transducers,  they are not generally sensitive enough and subject to all kinds of secondary effects.   

Here you go..  " class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">   with a differential pair,  zeroed at one location,  you could measure the curvature of the earth over a distance of less than 50 meters,  also since it's a precision pendulum system, it not only measures the earth's curvature,  eliminating the flat earth theory,  it also eliminates the concave earth theory, by not having to resort to optical line of sight methods, which the concave earthers will object to,  saying light bends.  This method avoids that objection.

The resolution is 0.02 arc-seconds which works out to less than 1 meter,  about  600mm,  the quoted accuracy is 0.2 arc seconds.  which is about  6 meters,   ( 20 ft for the metrically challenged )

So you can prove the shape of the earth easily,  no conspiracy, no mistake,  no resorting to optical effects.   Done and dusted.

Stop gilding the pickle, you demisexual aromantic homoflexible snowflake.
