That is cute, but no one will ever convince me that the earth isn't flat.
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 EDIT: SHOOTING THROUGH SPACE somewhere between 526,282 mph and 457,970.
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.
Why do flight manuals and NASA training materials clearly read "assume a flat earth with zero rotation"?
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?
These examples can go on and on.
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.
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.

Because the stars are really, really, REALLY far away, and the motion isn't detectible without extremely precise instruments. But, over time, it moves. The North Star wasn't always our true north. Ancient Sumerian texts describe other stars, such as Sirius and Betelguese. Vega, the brightest star in Lyra the Harp will eventually become our North Star in about 13,000 years.
Did you know? There are Sumerian ceuniform tablets that describe not only past, previous north stars, but describe ALL of them (as in, when they repeat), around one full rotation around the galactic core? ANCIENT knowledge.
Do you guys have any other arguments other than "it dun non gun nebber make sense to me"??
thats what I keep asking myself. I actually do understand astronomy. I understand orbital mechanics and physics and quantum physics. How could all of these things work so perfectly within our current model if theyre wrong?
I think Michio Kaku might have given us a hint when he commented that what surprised him the most, is that the parallels in the texts of the Zohar and Kaballah and physics are astounding.
I also believe there is a quote from Einstein somewhere that "it matters not if you consider the earth to be moving through the universe at break neck speed or if the earth is standing still and everything in the universe revolves around it- with the calculations for relativity working either way." Of course thats my paraphrased understanding of what was said. What this means is that you cannot prove the earth is moving through observation, and it merely becomes a debate on philosophical grounds.
Here's my current line of thinking- would it be possible for a superior intelligence to devise a model of physics that functions for 99.999% of observation, but is still flawed in such a way as to obscure the truth? What do Jews say about their supposed superior intelligence? Who gave us general relativity? Why does the surname Stein seem to be connected to so many of our current worldly problems?

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

be careful about what you believe from our fabricated history lol. "Ancient knowledge" kek
Then why does it all add up if you actually understand astronomy?
