Even better : how can you see Saturn and easily see a 3 dimensional ball inside a set of rings? You can see the shadow of the ball on the rings ; quite cool.
For the flat earth morons : If space is fake then the images of space are projected onto the firmament, yes? So, where are they being projected from?
And if that is true, then why would two separate locations ( on earth ) render the exact same perspective of an object in space? A projected image would create a different perspective of said object when photographed from different locations. As in : if I take a picture of Saturn from the east coast, why is the exact same perspective of Saturn achieved when taking a picture from Japan?
But, that's arguing with people that don't even know how a zoom lens works. They think it works like a macro lens - a magnifier. A zoom lens isn't a magnifier.
Zeteticists would argue that Saturn and the other planets (called wondering stars by the ancients - in fact, the word "planet" comes from the Greek word planetes, meaning "wanderer.") are located in a layer beyond the Moon and Sun, but not “out there” in outer space - at least, that’s what they tell me when I ask them questions about this.
“ People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations. For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that. ”

Why do so many different accounts on this board talk about exactly the same things in exactly the same way as that guy who used his real name on glp did? Earth realm, zeteticism, lost valuables overboard in a boat accident/botched suicide attempt, etc.? Just use one fucking account and stop trying to have an outsized influence.
Flerfers also can't seem to explain how magnetic compasses work if there is only a "north" pole and no south. That would mean that magnetic monopoles exist except you can do your simple science experiment to see that all magnets are dipole. They'll probably just try to stay it's a conspiracy and Big Magnet makes them all that way.
Also where is the profit motive for faking a round Earth and space and all that?
While it's accurate that unipolar magnets are not feasible, this, unfortunately, doesn't pose an issue for Flat Earth proponents. Ring magnets, resembling “flat disks,” can exhibit radial magnetization. In a radial magnet, a magnetic pole is situated at the center, while the other extends across all points along the magnet's edge. This type of magnet, akin to those in loudspeakers, is suggested by flat earthers to mirror Earth's magnetic arrangement."
