That is cute, but no one will ever convince me that the earth isn't flat.
Oh I'm sure of that, flat earthers aren't interested in observable facts.
Our house has a courtyard, and one of our exhaust pipes is lined up exactly below the north star. No matter what time of year it is, or what time it is, the north star is still there in that same exact spot. How is this possible if we are spinning at 1037 mph, speeding around the sun at 66,660 mph, at a tilt of 66.6 degrees (90-23.4), and somewhere between 526,282 mph and 457,970.
That's because the North star aligns with Earth's axis of rotation so it's always in the same spot in the sky while the rest of the sky rotates around it (why do you think that is?). Also, citing high cosmic speeds as if we should somehow feel them is more proof of your ignorance. You see, space is a vacuum so there's no drag and the speeds are constant so there's no acceleration or force to be felt, like you don't feel anything when driving on a highway. And wouldn't you know it, earth's tilt times two is exactly the difference between peak sun angles on the winter and summer solstices. It's like the changing sun angles caused by the tilt are causing seasons or something, wild I know. Also, the air largely rotates along with the Earth's surface (there is drag there) so we don't live in 1000 mph winds. Rotation is measurable in the Coriolis force and it causes the general east to west movement of global air masses.
Why on the Red Bull extreme high jump does the horizon look flat when they open the door to the capsule and only shows curvature when looking through a fish eyed go pro?
Because in addition to being round, the Earth is really, really big, and any high jump altitude is too low to make out a curve. Put your eye against a beach ball and see if you can tell that it's round. Also, what would you expect a round earth to look like, your back yard curving out of sight? How small would it be then?
According to several online calculators...if I set a lazer 6 inches above the water level on one side of Lake Texoma, the lazer will be 42 inches above the water level three miles away. (6+36 due to curvature). Yet this doesn't happen for some reason. Almost as if level actually means level. Go figure.
But it does happen. In the movie Behind the Curve flat earthers try proving their theory with just such an experiment only to end up proving it's round. They also buy a very expensive gyroscope which proves the Earth is rotating at 15° an hour, much to their dismay.
BTW..can someone show me an actual experiment that shows how gravity works and makes it a fact rather than theory? I can sure show you a million reproducible experiments using Archimedes Principle, Buoyancy and Density.
Go back to middle school.
I always wondered why the airlines sometimes made us put our shades down on takeoff and only let us put them up after we were above the clouds. I believe that this is to block our view of reality and what we could possibly see during takeoff.
And stay off the internet. I just can't with these people.
Not sure what you mean by water “finding it’s balance”, but the movement of water is largely governed by gravity constantly pulling it downward. Hence water always flows downhill (unless there’s enough pressure or a blockage downstream that prevents it from doing so).
The earth and oceans in general are squeezed into a spherical shape because that’s how gravity behaves with sufficiently large masses. That’s why the Sun, the other planets, and any moon or asteroid over 300km in diameter are round. It’s the lowest energy state that an object can take in a gravitational field.
Check out this brainwashed fool. He believes his middle school teacher knows the shape of the earth. Lol. He also thinks the “air” rotates with the earth and that an unprovable “force” can pull billions of pounds of ocean water around a ball. Lol.
But that same magical force doesn’t drop clouds carrying billions of pounds of condensation from the sky. Unless someone turns the gravity on and it rains.
He thinks we should see the North Star every night in the same place because the earth “tilts” that way. Lol. I know. Absolutely retarded indoctrination.
I can’t wait to hear his rebuttal. Maybe he’ll explain what his 7th grade prof said about why the same constellations appear in the same spots every year for thousands of years when we are rocketing through space at Mach 88.
He doesn’t realize the truth yet. Poor dummy. The Great Awakening will happen without him I guess.
The Coriolis force demonstrates that the atmosphere does indeed rotate with the earth.
Not only is gravity a very probable force, but that force is generated in part by the very billions of tons of water you describe. Every object, every particle with mass, generates gravity. It’s a weak force for relatively small masses, but on a planetary scale the forces add up.
Clouds stay in the sky because gravity isn’t the only force at work. There is buoyancy caused by atmospheric density and temperature, which varies both by altitude and latitude. Those billions of pounds of water vapor are not concentrated like liquid water because it’s not in a liquid state (hence the term water VAPOR).
Constellations appear in the same place for thousands of years because a) they’re dozens to hundreds of light years away, and b) because they’re orbiting around the center of the galaxy in the same direction and roughly the same orbital velocity. Eventually the constellations will wander due to slight difference in velocity, but over a time period of tens to hundreds of thousands of years.
Speaking of constellations, the very fact that the constellations precess around the earth in a precise and measurable manner is what allowed ancient humanity to accurately measure the diameter and curvature of the earth when the Great Pyramids were built. This is why the Great Pyramids encode both the radius and diameter of earth at the precise scale of 1:43200.
If you’re going to spout about how round earth is some great deception, at least present some facts.
It took a lot to break my programming. What got me is the obvious lies about the ‘world fairs’ it’s easier to accept the lies when you start to see them everywhere.
My big hurt is more attached to the terrible way the Native Americans were treated. The shape of the earth won’t stop people from waking up but the absolute hatred we’ve been taught toward other cultures - that has to be remedied.
He believes his middle school teacher knows the shape of the earth.
Everyone with a triple digit IQ does.
He also thinks the “air” rotates with the earth and that an unprovable “force” can pull billions of pounds of ocean water around a ball.
If you don't believe in air, try holding your breath or driving without a windshield. The force of gravity increases linearly with mass so the amount of water is irrelevant. That unprovable force is keeping you in your chair right now, otherwise you would freely float away like you see people doing on the space station or those Russian zero-G planes that fly along parabolic trajectories to simulate weightlessness.
But that same magical force doesn’t drop clouds carrying billions of pounds of condensation from the sky. Unless someone turns the gravity on and it rains.
Air contains water vapor that mostly comes off the oceans. Similarly to other gasses in the air, it doesn't fall out of the sky because the buoyancy of the air overcomes the tiny amount of gravity pulling down each molecule. As the concentration of water vapor increases and relative humidity surpasses 100%, the air can no longer contain the individual water molecules and they start to bunch up into tiny droplets that we see as clouds. When these droplets collide and increase in size they reach a mass where gravity overcomes the buoyancy of the air and they fall down as rain.
He thinks we should see the North Star every night in the same place because the earth “tilts” that way. Lol. I know. Absolutely retarded indoctrination.
In the northern hemisphere, in the same location, on a clear night, you do see the North Star in the same place every night. In the southern hemisphere it doesn't appear in the sky at all, I wonder why.
Maybe he’ll explain what his 7th grade prof said about why the same constellations appear in the same spots every year for thousands of years when we are rocketing through space at Mach 88.
That's because these constellations are incredibly far away so our local movement, though fast in the context of daily life, is so insignificant their position hardly changes at all during our lifetime (but it does measurably change). One day you'll learn what a lightyear is, then you'll maybe understand. Stay in school!
You can’t see as far as a lightyear IF all that distance was filled by an atmosphere.
Our atmosphere is only 100km tall, everything between that and the stars is empty space. Starlight passes through the void without being scattered, diffracted, or absorbed by an atmosphere, and our atmosphere isn’t thick enough to completely obscure it.
You can see as far as light can travel to get to your eyes.

Through finding its balance, river water ends up in the oceans. They're simply the lowest spots on the crust of the Earth.
