This is ridiculous

i doubt any of thats true.  stop beliving anything your told.  to be quite honest...i didnt even read any

uhhhh its so hard to comprehend the round earth omggggg. its to confushering i dont wana even try to understand i probably woulndt .

ALERT!!!!: YOU ARE A DIPSHIT

What I Learned - Flat earthers are readily willing to believe in a flat earth,

but are not readily willing to spend time trying to prove it.

What I learned - Flat earthers will negate evidence that is witnessed right in front of them, or they will further complicate existing theories to make it fit their own.

What I learned - Flat earthers will ignore facts that are presented to them that disprove a flat earth.

What I learned - there are parts of the flat earth theory that have been thought out some

The least a flat earther could do is admit that there is just as much chance of there being a round earth as there is of a flat earth.

This is because no experiment to them is sufficient enough to prove either theory right or wrong. There is also just as much a chance of FET being a conspiracy as RET. No one here has given any proof that they aren't trying to mislead non-believers in FET. Like with midguard posting pictures of glaciers and claiming that they expand forever. Do a google images search for glacier, and you'll find hundreds of pictures of ice walls/glaciers. People like him are purposely trying to mislead us. Just makes me wonder, who else?

Yes, THAT'S why this whole forum site is up here in the first place, so we can sit around and NOT try to prove the theory.

Complicate theories? The Faucault Pendulums were complicated in the first place. We only deny evidence from experiments when the experiments were so obviously biased. I mean, really, if everyone's expecting the exact same result, how can you be sure that (unintentionally or otherwise), the results aren't manipulated at all? That's why the zetetic approach is far better; you get no biases, and thus none of the experiments run near as much risk of human error.

You mean to tell me that Round Earthers don't?

thats why people like Al Gore... are nto scientists.
HE believes in Global Warming.,,

and ignores all evdience that does not support his Agenda

Discussion alone is not going to prove anything. Anyone can sit back at their computer and make up evidence that proves a flat earth. But unless you do some experiments to prove there is a flat earth, you have accomplished absolutely zilch. From a philosophical standpoint, it looks like you guys are using Rene Descartes' way of learning - rationalism. Well, rational, innate thought has its limits when trying to learn about a physical universe. There must be empirical evidence as well; empirical evidence that the Flat Earth Society has never brought to the table.

Faucault pendulums are not complicated at all. They are nothing more than large pendulums. A pendulums is made of a vertical beam, with a horizontal beam across the top, and something heavy swinging from the horizontal column. There is absolutely nothing complicated about that, so stop with the bull. And your whole argument that the Foucault pendulum is biased is yet another example half-assed flat-earth logic. If you want, go to an observatory and look at a Foucault pendulum for a couple days, or weeks, or months. Then go to another observatory and watch their pendulum go. Then keep going to other observatories until your satisfied that there is no human manipulation. There are Foucault pendulums in observatories all around the world that are swinging back and forth at this very moment with hundreds of people witnessing them. Go to a couple.

Give me an example.

I see the flat earthers have not responded. What a suprise. :roll:

pwned

Your explanation makes no sense.

The questions in this thread are answered on a weekly basis. Do a search.

Plenty of people are going out and trying to prove things. Lord Byron (and all of his aliases) has written tons of essays on the proof he's found for the flat Earth theory in the Flat Earth Believers section and we have a whole repository for information, in case you didn't notice.

There are so many other factors that can play into the pendulum. The smallest bit of air pressure difference, for example, could provoke the pendulum just ever so slightly, and you have a pendulum that moves differently.
