Okay. You win. I don't have the patience to dissect all your blather. Except to point out that the stars are organized in angular space. One can measure the angles from one star to its neighbors. Angular space is like the interior surface of a globe. If Earth were flat, we would see only one half of this angular space (2 pi steradians). But we can see all of it (4 pi steradians). Which is possible only if we can access the southern surface of the Earth. And not fall off the edge. Sorry, Charlie. Reality is against you. You are the fool.
All you guys seem to have is unkind ad-hominem attacks, observational arguments and mathematical models loaded with assumptions, thus demonstrating how truly weak your position is. This is what the globe-defending community has been reduced to.
Reality is precisely what I can see, feel, hear, taste and touch. And not a one of these senses tells me I'm on a 1000 MPH spinning ball, with Australians standing upside down below me, circling a ball of hot gas at 66,600 MPH in an ELLIPTICAL orbit, meaning the phake and ghey ball earth must be speeding up and slowing down, which nobody can ever detect.
"Reality" is not the same thing as "beliefs". You have masterfully confused the two.
Ah, yes. The human senses. What you don't bother to examine is the fact that no human sense can tell you if you are on a 1000 mph rotating ball (but decreasingly less with increasing latitude, until 0 mph at the poles). For one thing, we have no "sense" of velocity (nothing but peace and calm on an airliner flying at 600 mph). For another thing, the centrifugal acceleration of the rotation is too small to detect (but the equatorial bulge can be measured). The Australians see all the constellations we cannot see, because they ARE on the other hemisphere of the Earth. The elliptical orbit is scarcely different from a circle, the speed-up and slow-down is very small, astronomers can detect it, but not anyone walking down the street.
Reality is what we can measure, and all you have offered is that you don't know what you are talking about, and can't demonstrate any of it.
You can choose to stay in denial for as long as you like. There seems to be some psychological barrier preventing you all from grasping the fact that there are literally zero scientific proofs of the globe, of curvature, of the earth in motion. There should be THOUSANDS of them after 200 years of advanced scientism.
You can't find one. If you could, you would go get yourself the $90K, or at a minimum, give me your scientific proof snd let me take it to the FlatEarthDave for verification netting yourself a cool $45K and the death blow to the FE community.
But oddly, you continue to do neither.
No science = No globe. It's literally this simple.
And you would know from example, correct? There are plenty of proofs, such as the fact that modern commerce and communication involves daily interaction with the reality of the global Earth. There are thousands of them...but you don't want to accept any of them.
Simple proof: the Earth is a continuous positively-curved surface that closes on itself and has no edge. Established by humans being everywhere on the surface of the Earth. Plus we have photos (taken before there was any CGI).
Meanwhile, we continue to send satellites into orbit and also people to go AROUND the Earth. Want to take the ride? You are living evidence that ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand.
You know Dave?
I read all of your replies, and I really appreciate the open debate. I find it very interesting, and I wish we were able to openly discuss these things on here. I look in the sky, and I see planes spraying non stop, but for some reason, it’s taboo? Like you, all I care about is the TRUTH, and I will gladly alter my stances, based off of new evidence. Which is why it is so important we be able to discuss all things and present evidence
100% agreed. The mod stance on this board is beyond questionable. I totally get it that we shouldn't be posting threads on "off topic" material all the time. Fair enough. But terminating accounts because they don't like somebody's opinion on a topic? That's sad.
I'll bet 20-30% of the people on this board don't like Trump. But they know better than to say so...
Appreciate you taking my comments into consideration. There's some kind of mind virus that causes people to disconnect and start slinging poo every time they're confronted with the flat earth argument. Deep-seated belief imprints methinks.
