Your Alt-Reality Is Boring......A plea for more interesting alt-realities than the Moon Landing Hoax, Flat Earth, and No Virus.

after spending way too much time arguing against flat earthers, and moon hoaxers, my determination is that they can't think, you can present them with the same facts, and evidence, and they reach the wrong and opposite conclusions every time, often using very elaborate "logic" that's absurdly easy to disprove. something with them is just hardwired wrong,
. Showing them Simple Geometry, and giving them simple experiments That THEY CAN DO THEMSELVES, Doesn't work. they literally don't understand the results of their own experiments. I have found it pointless to argue against them, I also know that a lot of them are just Trolls
There's a 3 bitcoin ($54,000!!!) prize you can win with your simple proofs. Quit arguing online with us "trolls" and go claim it. When you do, I'll flip over to your side. Until you do, you're on the losing side of what now is a non-debatable subject as nobody has been able to claim this money in over 3 years. That's a bad look for globe-defenders. The "flat-earthers" are, first and foremost TRUTHERS. That's all we want. Something the establishment never delivers...
oh here's another one reneging https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOsXkYpIqR0
Never heard of either one of these guys. It was clearly just a personal bet between these dudes. Nothing on offer to the public.
Do you believe in the bible?
there is a much larger prize to prove the earth is flat.. 1.5 million, go claim it.
what part of " I quit arguing" a long time ago did you not understand?. again,, you guys can't Think.
there have been Multiple Trolls offering up money, to people to prove the earth is round, they have all reneged on their offer, despite very obvious , and frankly simple proof.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FJG65nbUO8&t so no, i won't be wasting my time with an idiot that is offering 3 bitcoins,, he won't be honest with himself, let alone me.
. flat earthers reject common sense, they reject geometry, they reject simple math, they reject experiments they can do themselves, I won't be dragged into a flat earth debate, you're all idiots.
I didn't ask for an argument. I told you to go collect your rightfully earned money, and win over every flat-earther on the PLANE at the same time.
Why don't you give me your irrefutable proof then? I could use an extra $54K. I'll split the prize with you if you have too much on your plate. What do you say?
Who's offering the $1.5Million prize? Never heard of it. Do share!
there are SEVERAL. . here is one, I have no idea if these are still valid, and No I am not interested in proving to you the world is round. Nothing I offer, would prove anything to you.

As you argue amd post multiple times. You are begging g to be convinced. You are almost there.
I did exactly the same, that was until I was challenged to look at the ACTUAL discussion and not the repetitions from the Flat Earth Society... and I even had the same tone in my explanations as to how refraction and gravity covers all the experiments they used for demonstration.
There were a few issues that eventually got raised that cored a hole in my brain because they were peer-reviewed, but I had never considered the implications. First, that Einstein and other modern scientists rejected the concept of a stationary earth, NOT for scientific reasons but for the philosophical rationale that it would mean the earth was 'special'. Next, that there's Quantum theories, Newtonian mechanics, and Special Relativity; quantum theory has nothing for gravity (no graviton exists and the Higgs Boson only covers mass), Newtonian gravity is a description of the effect of downward acceleration with no attempt to explain the cause, and special relativity has failed in 95% of the predictions such that they had to create the concepts of dark matter and energy to explain away the rest.
Then third, the electrostatic gradient of the earth measured at 100V per meter up to the ionosphere.... to have that kind of capacitance requires 2 materials, the earth and something above the earth to hold the opposite charge.
None of that makes the "flat earth" definitive, but it does have some serious implications that tend towards the biblical model of the earth as effectively topographical within a container.
You're on the right track. This is all exciting and newly developing research!
It's my opinion that, while science originated from the desire to explain the universe without an appeal to God, that science is getting to the level where it is being reluctantly dragged into accepting that there was a creator (not just of the earth, but a creator of all). The electric universe theory becomes far more elegant in that context.
Agreed. The story is even more amazing than anybody can imagine!
I'm good with God's truth on it. He doesnt lie.
i'm an actual physicist, you have mixed and confused several actual concepts together in a word salad, that to me shows you have a lack of knowledge in these fields, I am not interested in nitpicking through it. The flat earth is concept is blatantly flawed and wrong, if you want to debate it go find someone else
Truly, I believe this is the basis of virtually every "conspiracy theory". We have an abysmal education system, especially in the hard sciences. Instead of teaching children how to think logically and develop reasoning skills, we rely on rote memorization.
We don't teach children to learn or think. We teach them to memorize. And once they're out of an academic setting, and without guidance, we put practically all the information in existence at their fingertips and say "Go get 'em, Tiger!".
And TADAAA,!, it's the reason why we have the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
Edited to add stuff I forgot I wanted to say because, bourbon.
✌️
Trust the science? Sure.
Weird, I spent my entire life thinking the same things as you about the earth. The only difference was when I said FEs were nuts I researched and guess what, I found out their thinking had merit and i was the one who previously was not thinking. I dont argue shit because I don't care if you believe it or not.
...howls...
