4-minute video. Watch and discuss. Thank you!


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80123431

For those of you wondering why the USA is going into the toilet and no one is doing anything about it, one reason is threads like this that show the people have not had enough yet. They do not sense the threat directly in front of them and have time to entertain useless topics like this one.

i do hope people can resolve this issue at least before the people start getting executed in leftist camps.

Re: Why Do the Sun and Moon Get Bigger Near the Horizon?
anyone can go try this, compare your thumb at arms length to the moonand see how big the moon is when its near the horizon and then a few hours later when its high in the sky. ITS THE SAME, its an optical illusion that its lager near the horizon because its near objects your mind can relate size to vs in a giant open sea of nothing.

Its like a great dane near some football players on the bench is big, a great dane in the center of the field looks small

If the Earth is flat, explain how it's possible for an airplane to fly in a straight line from the America to Asia, the continue on that straight line to Europe, then cross the Atlantic ocean on that same straight line and arrive at it's point of departure?

I don't want insult you, but I'm tempted to.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83578352


It’s not. They curve.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77815623


So you can't conceive that the Earth's surface curves under the force of gravity towards a center point, but you argue that a plane cannot travel in a straight line on your flat Earth.

Does not compute.

In simple terms, you're saying straight lines don't exist.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77815623


And why not? Is there a mysterious force field on your flat Earth that suddenly makes straight trajectories less after travelling for a certain distance?

So your flat Earth is flat, so taht means that you could take a giant STRAIGHT RULER that spans the whole width of your flat Earth and lay it flat on top of it.

But you're saying that nobody could walk on that straight ruler or fly right above it, and follow it from one end of if to the other on your flat Earth.

makes perfect sense.

They don't.

Its just because you have something of size to compare either to.

As they move above the horizon you lose this comparison giving you nothing spatially for direct comparison.

AKA an optical illusion of greater size.

 Quoting: MrCoolone


Your supercilious denunciation of his truth is only proof that you don’t have a counter argument.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77614038

No arguments, as stated you ignorant and are in denial.

There wouldn't be time zones if the earth was flat lol.
The sun is 98 times as large as the Earth.
We are approximately around the middle position of the sun.
If the Earth was truly flat the sun would shine top and bottom 24/7.
There would be no night that's a fact.
The thickness of our atmosphere is concentric.
We know the earth is round due to Gravity.
The spinning ball idea in history is traced as far back as Ancient Greece.
Waterdrops, waves are not flat.
All the other planets in the solar system round.
The moon is curved/round like a ball/spherical.
Lunar or solar eclipse?
Midnight sun in Antarctica
Can't see the other side of the water.
Latitude and longitude will only work if the earth is round.
Flat Earth is mostly based on distrust of authority.
Coriolis Effect.
Earth leaves a round shadow on the moon.
The higher you go the farther you can see because you are seeing around the curve.
Gravity closes in equally around a forming planet forcing and creating it into a sphere.
The earth spins once a day.
The earth wobbling and tilting takes months.
The earth's angle of sunlight which explains the climate zones.
Moon Appear Upside-Down in the Southern Hemisphere

Keep up your studies. Maybe you will have an answer. When a bunch of Flat Space Tards stand there screaming 'we're not crazy!', we're not ignorant and in denial, you really know they are crazy!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83578352


And to follow on with my GPS argument. Explain this:

Why is it that I can follow my program my GPS to send me on a straight line from point A to point B, say... 3000 miles apart, and I have proof that the line is straight and the GPS is not lying because all along the way, I see the expected cities, features and landmarks that are expected along the way.

Explain at what distance would the GPS start lying to me and sending me on a straight trajectory that is actually curved, from America, across the oceans and other continents, and to America again.

Try it! Grab a GPS, program a straight line travelling west out of the USA, right back to the east coast of USA, and come back here and tell us the Earth is flat.

Fucking waste of time, these people. I seriously think they are simply gas lighting.

Because of gravity. Red light particles are more affected by gravity and ready bend towards to the surface of earth especially since it’s taking a longer path and is perpendicular to the downward gravity particle flow when coming from horizon - hence a magnifying affect. When objects are directly above the light particles take a direct path with the downward gravity particle flow and therefore do not experiencing any light bending.

CLimb a lighthouse along the East or West coast and look toward the shore of Europe or Asia. You should be able to see it. The waves are only maybe 8 feet tall. You are 200 feet up in a light house.
