Sceptimatic, how's your scale model of the "flattish" Earth coming along?
Absolutely smashing.
I have a couple of scale models of the globe earth I live on,
No you don't. You may have a few globes but they are not scale models of what you live on. In my opinion, of course.
and have personally measured distances I've actually travelled, as correct.
Such as?
I'm currently using one to make a scale model with the moon.
A scale model of something you have no clue about other than reading in books or seeing a light in the sky or harking back to men supposedly walking upon it in the most laughable pictures and actions.
Soon enough you'll tell me you've built a new house on your moon. I'll wait for that one.
I figured a trip over Antarctica would do you some good, considering all the jargon you've picked up along the way from the flat earth priests, who unanimously agree that Antarctica is a ring of ice around the rim of the coin shaped earth.
If you'd paid attention earlier on you would know by now that I do not have Antarctica as any ring around a rim.
There is no edge to my Earth. It's a cell....remember?
Oh, and let's not overlook your specially chosen avatar of hubcap flattish earth.
Keep that in mind as a yardstick to go from.
Yes, we would see a lot of ice on our trip, but also a lot of mountains and valleys, and coastline.
Yep, hence the flattish Earth.
If I say flat then you people go into pancake mode and disc mode, so it's best to keep you lot on an understanding.
If you speak nicely with the pilots, perhaps they will let you see the cockpit, and how the plane is not constantly turning and banking, and then see what things look like, when the plane does bank, to turn around and return to Australia.
I've never mentioned turning and banking.
Again your attention span is weak.
Point to point in a line or zig zag and only turning when about to reach an airport, or to deviate from weather....etc.
As for your argument, water is always flat, well, have you tried taking a shower, instead of always jumping in the bath with your little yellow duckies?
Again your attention span is weak.
You forgot the conforming to a container it is in.
If you want to argue water droplets we can do that.
Yes, I know the water in your bathtub looks very flat, scepti. But, in a shower, you get to have up close and personal time, with water droplets.
Yep, so let's see your reasoning for water droplets and I'll happily give you mine.
If you're going to appeal to gravity then let me see how it all works with your explanation. Don't just say, gravity does it because it makes you appear like you're hanging on to massive appeals to authority.
I could post up some photos of water droplets for you to point out their flat sides, but I wouldn't want to insult your intelligence.
I have no need to point out flat sides on water droplets.
Your intelligence is dipping like a lead sinker on a snapped line.
When you have a spare 5 minutes, explain how the sun sets below the horizon on your flattish earth model, when you have explained dozens of times, the horizon is theoretical.
The sun moves away and around and down the dome and is obscured from your sight because the reflection does not hit back to your sight. It hits water or land away from your sight.
Remember the sun is angled light, not level light.
While you're at it, show me a photo of a plane, setting below the horizon as it recedes also?
Nothing sets below any horizon. It becomes obscured by atmospheric mass.
Then, explain how a lunar eclipse works on your scale model of flattish earth.
It works as the reflections get obscured as they meet within the centre of Earth to wipe out reflection.
What you see outside against the dome is what's happening inside.
Just to jog your memory, yes, a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth gets between the sun and the moon, in that black vastness we have all come to refer to as space, and you refer to as fantasy.
No, it doesn't. Not in the way you think, anyway. IMO.
On your flattish earth scale model, does your sun and moon sit high in earth's atmosphere under the dome ceiling, like they do above your bed, or are they outside the transparent, glass like dome?
There is no transparent glass dome.
Everything you see is inside the cell you are in, called Earth.
You see nothing outside of that. other than the absence of light or blackness as a reflective barrier to the ice dome and back to your vision, from actions within.
Post up some photos of your to scale flattish earth model, and I'll post up some photos of my to scale, earth and moon model.
Be careful with yours. Try not to spin it or the drinks will likely all clatter around it and shatter the bottles and drinks glasses.
