Regardless of when it was learned, we now know, without a doubt, that the Earth is indeed a spheroid.
Fact.
For the sake of argument let's follow that kind of reasoning.
We learned to understand for a fact in modern times that the earth is a sphere with a circomference of 25.000 miles.
Why on earth do we keep hearing that this was a more or less known fact for 2500 years ?
Why not simply acknowledge that only through recent developments, techniques and understanding phenomena like refraction we know the earth to be a sphere.
Only propaganda needs to add superlatives ,numbers and ancient super hero's who were far ahead of their current timeframe (Eratosthenes)
'Wow for 2500 years the whole intellectual community knew for a fact the earth was/is a globe'
That in it self is pretty smelly and anyone who cannot let the basics speak for themselves has a shaky conviction.
Are you serious? Are you really lecturing on "let the basics speak for themselves"??
Yes the basics of my conviction are at least free of indoctrination.
I see the earth as flat
I have lived near the beach for 18 years and never ever remotely saw a shipmast sinking below an imaginary curve....
I have seen villages/structures far and beyond the curvature+refraction drop gazing along the absolute flat shoreline of the Netherlands where i live.
I heard stories about fisherman in Katwijk ( lived there) who could see the port of IJmuiden where their boats are on a very good day some 35 km further up the beach.
That is the basic of my flatearth conviction , because the current curvature calculation is simply flatout erronious and i really don't care what others have claimed to alter these facts of observation.
You, who simply dismisses literally MOUNTAINS of empirical evidence?
You, who provides absolutely ZERO viable evidence for ANY of your claims?
It's not my fault you consider a hypothetical carpenter's drinking cup unworthy of consideration
I give you evidence in this very post, but you are among those longing for the 'golden cup' , like NASA cgi from outerpace and are willing to destroy everything you see with your own eyes in the process.
It doesn't look right...
You've got that right...... it looks terrible and every intelligent person should object to this utter nonsense of space related footage that have fakery written all over them.
For crying out loud man..... look at the Tesla in orbit, i cannot believe for a moment you believe that's reality. I really can't.
He's uncomfortable at a press conference...
That's the least problematic expression...... lying and extremely evasive manouvres are the smoking gun....
He did or didn't see stars...
At the same spot in cislunar space one astronaut claims to see an occasional star preferable by using optics..... on a later mission an astronaut claims ten times brighter and numerous stars compared to anything ever witinessed during a night on earth when simply looking through the cabine's window.
You should be ashamed of yourself to play down such a very important inconsistancy.
I'm no expert on ancient Greek history, but I've seen plenty of recorded history posted here on the subject. You completely disregard that, and cry about copy pasting. Like books are evil. Did you burn all yours?
Wiki and books are like Kim Kardeshian and female beauty or a Big Mac and healthy food.
Please , please don't be that ignorant sheep that really believes a computer is all a person needs to keep him/her properly informed about the world and it's history.
The www is like a fastfood chain for knowledge and rabinoz & co think it's the only place to eat.
Why don't you save it for some other sheep that buy in to your amateur psychoanalysis. Maybe look in the tinfoil isle.
Contrary to others (rabinoz and his co reader audience) i do not care what the effect is upon others.
Shame, really. You seem to be quite intelligent at times. I can only hope you are just another troll.
Thanks that's the nicest thing you said to me in a very long time !
