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.

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. Also, the air largely rotates along with the Earth's surface so we don't feel the rotation. It does cause the Coriolis force and movement of air masses though so it does exist.

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?

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 retards.

That is cute, but no one will ever convince me that the earth isn't flat.

That's because you should have paid more attention in middle school.

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.
