Hey, Iโm not really a flat earther but Iโm curious as to what you guys believe, and why.
?
๐ why
Great, Iโm looking forward to an early death
I mean I donโt really believe in flat earth but I want to hear them out before I judge them
How so?
... your a bit invested in this arenโt you?
What do you mean?
I was blatantly curious, Iโm not fighting you on anything
I just wanted to know why people felt this way which is why I came here
Erm... tf does Star Wars have to do with this?
I am legit trying to have a normal conversation to better understand you guys and your full blown attacking me.
I donโt base my thoughts off of movies...
How are you guys any different?
Where you raised differently? Why did you choose to believe in this than anything else?
Sorry Jaxa, but Iโm gonna listen to Seeker of Truth because they are actually explaining something
I donโt play fortnite, never have
Bye, thank you for being civil
That wasn't spam....
It's down below
"Open Minded" except for when you don't agree with them
That's confusing
Grammar doesn't matter, it's a debate. If you don't have anything to say to conteract their statement, Don't just "Gravity*, It's*" Get's old real fast, actually debate if you believe so strongly of flat earth.
I'll give you the pleasure to go first
round earther but open to debation
Hey Gary, are you going?
yes,
theres this thing called rotation and gravity, it's in newtons laws
Without being in the sky, it is impossible to see the curvature of the Earth. However, you can always see a demonstration of this if you visit a harbor or any place with a wide-open view of the water.
If you are able to watch a ship sail off to sea, watch its mast and flag as it fades off into the distance. You will notice that, in fact, it does not "fade off into the distance" at all; instead, you will see its mast and flag appear to slowly sink. The ship sailed beyond the point at which you would see it. Just to be sure, bring a pair of binoculars with you so that you can see even farther off into the distance.
It's as if you're watching it go over to the other side of a hill. This phenomenon can only be explained by a sphere-shaped planet.
Pray tell.
I have more to back myself up
Sure thing
Solar eclipses get all the attention, but if you are able to catch a glimpse of a lunar eclipse, you can see evidence that the Earth is, indeed, round. Here's how it works: Earth passes between the moon and sun, so that the sun projects Earthโs shadow onto the Moon in the night sky. You've probably seen a partial lunar eclipse without even noticing it; if the moon looks orange, that's a sign of a lunar eclipse. If you've ever seen a total lunar eclipse, You would notice that it doesn't look like a disk. A round shadow crossed over a round object. This does not sound like a thing that would happen if we were on a plane with all of the celestial bodies simply hovering overheadโor, perhaps more assinine, if the sun were orbiting Earth and not vice versa
Imagine a vast plane with but one tree smack in the middle. If the earth were flat, your vision would extend exactly as far while standing at the base of the tree as it would when at the top of the tree. However, the farther you climb, the farther your line of sight will extend to the horizon.
That's because parts of Earth that were concealed from view by its curvature are now revealed because your position has changed.
Back to the vast plane. The naked eye can see objects that are millions of miles away in space. Theoretically, with a clear line of sight on a clear night, one would also be able to see bright lights from far-away cities. That this is not possible is further evidence of a round, not flat, Earth.
Explain?
if you're on the right commercial flight, you might be able to see the curvature of the earth with your own two eyes.
In the event that you're not high enough, though, you can still experience the curvature of the earth another way. For example, if you were to fly all the way around the world, you'd find that it would be nighttime in part of the world and daytime in another part. In that way, the existence of time zones itself is proof that the Earth is round.
Taken another way, you wouldn't even need to travel through different time zones. Time zones are wide enough that you will see the sun rising and/or setting later in the western part of a time zone than in the eastern part. the sun will rise and set roughly four minutes later for every 70 miles you drive from east to west. you can note how much more of Earth you can see when you begin your ascent into the air than you can while you are sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off.
Proof?
I don't call the evidence you provide as a "lie" So why do you treat mine that way
Brings me back to my first point, the boat
Do I have to retype it?
Pick a nice spot from which you can watch a sunset (we'll call this point A). Ideally, you'd have a clear horizon in front of you, and behind you would be some sort of elevated point that you can quickly access (a hill, a building with at least two floors, etc, we'll call this point B). Watch the sunset from point A, and once the sun is out of sight, hurry on over to point B. With the added elevation provided by point B, you should be able to see the sun above the horizon. If Earth were flat, the sun would not be visible at any elevation once it had set. Because Earth is round, the sun will come back into your line of sight.
Pick two locations that are some distance apart (at least a couple hundred miles from each other and on the same meridian). Grab two sticks or dowels (or other objects) of equal length, two tape measures, and a friend. Each of you will take one stick/dowel/object and one tape measure to your location, stick the object into the ground, and measure the shadow. (For accuracy, you should both take your measurements at the same time of day.) On a flat Earth, the shadow that is cast by each would be of the same length. However, if you and your friend compare notes, you'll find that one shadow was longer than the other. That's because, due to the curvature of Earth, the sun will hit one part of Earth at one angle and another part of Earth at a different angle even at the same time of day. This experiment has been around since about 240 B.C., when Greek mathematician Eratosthenes compared the shadows cast in both Syeneโnow Aswan, Egyptโand Alexandria on the summer solstice. Eratosthenes had learned of a well in Syene where once a year on the summer solstice, the sun would illuminate the entire bottom of the well and tall buildings and other objects would not cast a shadow. However, he noticed that shadows were being cast on the summer solstice in Alexandria, so he measured the angle of the shadow and found it to be an angle of about 7.2ยฐ.
I'm done dealing with people who don't have evidence to back up the facts i've provided. You keep showing pictures that have nothing to do with what I have proven, actually type something
have a conversation
the stars are out of propertion and it bends in the middle
it's been edited
try again
wow
Amazing mate
-_-
Please talk instead of have pictures other people made speak for you. I want to see what you know (believe) the facts to back it up, not these photos
I- i am so don
done
its brighter than my future
#sadboihours
O-O
I am done. So done.
YEET
I like my nickname
I feel fancy
Aww thank you
I have no idea but it doesn't really matter to me
I took that photo actually
I have a parrot
how do I post photos, I want to show you guys him
Alrighty, hang on
Look on in jeleousy
His names Tiki
He pryed it off
pried
he's something alright
He is 1 and a half right now
I don't think you can or else I would have been dead at 8
They tasted good don't @ me
r/theydidthemath
I wish you luck
I don't believe that but they seem pretty cool and they complimented my bird so they're okay in my books
ba da chuh
I love that
Same here
You okay?
hello
Same here
Thatโs how I found this
