hi

But why would they not?

Okay, to what purpose?

I'm not trolling, I'm interested

intrigued

Okay, okay, do you guys believe in the 8''/mile thing?

But you provide calculated proof with using that as a globe earth model, at least I'm told so and I'm not completely sold on using those numbers

Okay, what would be the flat earth answer to explain the atmosphere?

Uuuhm, that's kinda how you're supposed to introduce new scientific theories. They are supposed to explain everything the old theory could and more/better

Another theory, same difference

I expect an improvement

doubting whether or not they've been to the moon

ever looked into apollo 13, that wasn't particularly great

Compare that to defence budget

DoD, as in Army, Marine, Air

in case of US, more offence, you're right

I agree, decrease the budget of the DoD and increase it for NASA and DoE (for preventing Climate Change)

yes, all real. Even though I wasn't particularly alive back then

they are both the truth

and they did

they to the moon ffs

sure, well india and israel failed at it

extraordinary feat

Yeah... they were in Lunar Orbit

Ever played KSP?

perchance?

Well, what if there is no ice wall. say hypothetically the earth is a ball, spinning as we go

I disagree

Yes, ever noticed what a compass does when it turns?

I deny the existence of such an ice wall, I'm not denying the existence of this server

wall != shelf

that is because, news flash, glaciers aren't anything like Antarctica

Hi hi

Gawd, I'm just imagine a priest giving prayer while watching gaming YT videos

Well, there's multiple ways to interpret that

Ask away

Since there's no friction in space, the sun and moon are both only influenced by gravity and centrifugal forces. Those keep them in orbit @Priest

No

Just no

Idk, I'm on the "globetard" side

But gravity itself is really interesting and a difficult subject

Some on this server do @Priest

Not I, just came here to have a laugh tbh, and see what things people believe. Not in a trolly way, just intrigued

I'm not, yet at least

Sad or jealous?

Oooh enlighten me

Maybe I'm not so dimm as one might think?

That seems to be Antarctica, yes. Not proof of a wall

You can plan your expedition to the "edge of the world"

Asking questions to peers is part of research

Near south America and Australia?

I found a few maps, but none seem to explain the two point entrance thing. The only thing I could come up with is the nearest land masses

> Entire edge, hmmm, youre a lil dim I see, as there are only two points at which you can get to the Antartica.

Ah okay, my bad then. English isn't my first language. But two points at which you an visit it. Can I read that as in two controlled points (by the government presumably) from which you can visit a supervised visit to the wall?

There's some truth in that, as far as I can see.

But the reasoning behind it is the point of interest

hi

Hey guys

An indoctrinated young guy here

Say, who's the owner of the server? Just curious

Can agree

Ok, the earth is quite big, so you'd have to be far away to be able to see the earth wholly at once. The colour correction is needed because of the fact that the earth rotates (aka day/night). Most earth imaging satellites orbit at like 500km, which is not nearly high enough to see all of the earth so the pictures have to be "stitched" together. Aka Photoshop. I don't think the apollo crew had colour cameras with them so that colour had to be added later. This will, of course, result in small differences. The photo's themselves are still original though.

^ Apollo crew was far enough away to see it as a whole

As I know I'll be muted if I were to answer @Citizen Z with a similar kind of sentence, I will not.

Why have I been Pinged? Ghostping?

But if so, survive until you're 18 and get them yourself

Well maybe, if you have the money for it, you could arrange a ride in the Blue Origins New Shepard rocket. That will bring you just above the karman line, and at that height you can clearly see the curve

Some people, and I count myself among them, claim to be able to see some satellites, **at night when the solar panels can reflect the sunlight** thus making a sort of star that moves quickly across the sky.

@mjones hey man, you claimed earlier that you were a scientist, in which field may I ask?

And your thesis @mjones?

@mjones a thesis as in, the project at the end of your MSc

@mjones what degree?

Well, video's and photo's, but you deny them @Logrian

What evidence?

Evidence my 17-yo brain can't disprove

https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/troll


Honestly, the evidence that I've seen haven't convinced me at all

@mjones how do forces in general work? As in, my explanation would be that F = m • a

As in the force F is the product our of the mass m and acceleration a. Thus more mass and same force means less acceleration, more force more acceleration and same force means less mass etc

Would you agree with me on that?

In science, the force in newtons is generally given with the letter F (with vector notation, but not possible in discord)

That is different, for instance, if you were to push a cart horizontally, there will be several forces at work.
1. You pushing the cart
2. The friction caused by the wheels
3. The friction caused by the air

Part of a long explanation

But it would be logically to say that if you push harder on the cart (with more force), the cart will accelerate faster

And here it's important to make the diffet between velocity (v) and acceleration (a)

v is measured in meters per second (m/s), a is measured in meters per second per second (m/s^2)

Acceleration is the *change* in velocity.

Without a force working on an object, the object would not change velocity

Yes, now throw something up in the air

It comes down, by which force?

What is it then? If not for a force?

Yes, and without a force pulling it down, it would have continued going up

Last thing was with gravity, but I don't think I can go there yet

With a force pulling it down, it would begin to fall back. What is this force?

Will get back on that, have work now. Just so you know, I don't think torus fields is a thing. Will get back on the atmosphere too

Just... Idk man https://www.mindmovies.com/blogroll/toroidal-energetic-field-what-tha is what I found

@Logrian so from what I understand, the human heart creates a field that applies a force to the object that you throw up. This force together with the weight of the atmosphere brings the object down again?

Also do you mean weight or mass of the atmosphere

I agree @Yabai, FEers keep claiming that the globe model remains unproven, and that all pictures of it are fakes. While they are unable to provide an alternative theorie that explains all that we see and can measure today, and that what we can't explain yet.
And I mean an alternative to gravity, to the sun's motion alongside the stars & moon. An alternative to why I can see the ISS fly by on a good night. And much more

Now that's the thing, the current model of the globe earth does explain all that we can see, and does that pretty well. Eg, gravity. I have not yet seen another explanation that fits all observations, without relying on gravity one way or another
