Yaaawnnn, the earth is round, you just dont know geography or calculations, you for some reason believe this world was created like a fish bowl, if so that would require so much technology and the kind of manufacturing that would surpass all conceivable technologies and realities. Quoting: trumpinstien Tell us there genius, who made it, and for what purpose, when ALL other things in the universe are round. you postulate that we are the center of reality when we are not even the center of our solar system or galaxy. who made it? for what purpose? if manufactured then you have to believe aliens helped. How can there be aliens if there is no other celestial bodies in the universe and its just lights on a dome. How can I see Jupiter and Saturn through my telescope if its a dome. How do you explain Meteors that hit the earth every day, where do they come from? how do you explain comets, what are they rolling on the dome? No my friend, flat earth theory is a lame theory made up by retards who dont know math and science, then passed on to other retards who keep spouting the same retarded false math, then picked up by other weak minded retards, and the whole reason is it a thing is because its used by retards who are just plain stupid to argue with the rest of us who went to school and listened in school, its only purpose is to be opposed to the rest of us, to give retards something to argue about. Most of you cant even do math let alone prove of provide actual math and science to back up this retarded theory that can and has been proven wrong so many times before. Just explain meteors, JUST TAT ONE THING!! no but I promise you that you come back with rap talking and other retarded arguments but NEVE#R NEVER explain meteors! probably wont even touch it. I am an expert in mathematics. A historical-level expert. I am also a scientist recognized worldwide. And I say it can be flat, yes. Since you need a mathematical expert to state, ok. About explaining meteors / comets / shooting stars, the earth is a crater (Sulpicius Gallus M), on an absurdly larger planet. Our crater is close to some huge active volcanoes (thousands of times bigger than Yellowstone), and the rocks hurled into the sky cross our air space or even fall here. Who terraformed the crater? who created the hologram / dome? for what purpose? There is life everywhere, but some time ago something rocked the planet (the largest planet) and water entered several craters/"planets". One of these craters is Atlantida (that of the legends), the survivors came here (They are the Anunnakis or Vikings). They changed the monkeys DNA to be their slaves, and created an big illusion so that the monkeys would not rebel, and work day and night to rebuild Atlantida, without even realizing it. The new Atlantida is on Mars, which is another neighboring crater. The space program, international tensions and the secret military budget are all smokescreens for the Mars project. Now feel free to be triggered. Not triggered at all. So Mr. Scientist, so what your saying is these rocks come from volcanos and get spewed out of the volcano and then fall in other places? So how do they get Iridium then, how do you explain the fact that some of these rocks dont come from earth? how do you explain that all rocks that come from volcanos are lava and most rocks from space are Metal, Metal formed in the vacuum of space? A crater!? what the heck are you smoking, even with both FE sides when a video from space is shown where are the craters? I see oceans and land masses but hardly any craters. Ill give you that maybe space is different than something we are being told, but a dome, some construct, come on, maybe seeded or DNA manipulated ill allow that, but flat?, some dome? what about the shadow on the moon, just look at that and you can see its a ball, not the side of a coin, not half a ball, not flat. Oh and I am also a scientist, computer science, so we're both educated...Earth is still round. Fragl422 |

Based on, oh... I don't know... geometry... the horizon line should be midway between the two mountains. You know, the curve. Midway. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." -G.K.

Your misinterpreting the calculator stupid. If you put in 15000 feet as eye height, you get a horizon of 240 kms. That means you can see the tops of mountains 15000 feet tall and 480km away. If the other mountains are 11000 feet tall and 470km away. You fail flatard. |
