It's a spinoff of the old religion in northern Europe before christianity

Paganism as a whole

For example, christmas was an old pagan thing

Called Yule

I'm from Sweden 😃

I don't mind if you recover Skåne

I happen to live in Skåne

The 8 inch per mile squared is incorrect

Do it on september 18th

Get some gear and study the sun spots

I respect your right to have an opinion but I reserve my right to not share it

@Euclid Claims without arguments can be dismissed without argument

0.667 if you round correctly

It is

You know that that formula describes a parabola and not a circle?

Or use a readymade calculator like this https://www.metabunk.org/curve/

line of sight is not perpendicular

Why should we not show that the earth is a sphere?

Rubbish, the formula is derived using trigonometry

What is "pathragiams"?

*sigh*>

It's only valid if you are using the tangent

In reality you look down to the horion, that is not the tangent

It's simpler to use https://www.metabunk.org/curve/

Everything in that calculator can be verified with trigonometry

If you fail to understand that calcultor then I can't do more

Call it what you want, I don't care

That's the flatearthers loss

Funny, my default android calculator has cosine

Anyway @Steve Angell you can use the scientific calculator to verify metabunk's calculator

Geostationary satellites are below the horizon at above 81 degrees latitude

I can't join since belief in a deity is required

Laser light is subject to defraction like all light

"Parabolic drop"... no the earth is circular

8 inches per mile squared is an approximation that works for short distances

It describes a parabola, not a circle

Also, that autocad table isn't very useful

Because it shows the drop from the tangent, not from the line touching the horizon

Look at the diagram on https://www.metabunk.org/curve/

It explains

Source of the NASA photo?

I asked for a source of the NASA photo because the 100k feet seems wrong

We?

You cannot speak for me

Can you verify that they are lying?

Poor analogy

Because Nagasaki had clear sky

The moonlight experiment can be done when the moon is out of sight, you will see the same result

It's not the moonlight, it's the clear sky vs the shade

shade from the clear sky

@Steve Angell you can research it yourself, it's not difficult

Have you measured it?

What?

The moonlight is too weak to make a difference¨

And it certainly does not become colder at the focal point

I'm not an idiot @Steve Angell

Of course you can concentrate the sun light with a magnifying glass, we call them burning glass here

Still, the moonlight is way too weak to make a difference even with a magnifying glass

No

It emits reflected sunlight

Because heat radiation

I'm not a flat earther

I don't believe in any deity

There is no evidence that vaccines cause autism

Not me

You say the Earth is flat. Why not prove it?

You have seen you say but where are the proofs?

I have done it myself and my observations tells me it can't be flat

For example

I live near a beach at sea¨

What has that to do with the observation that boats disappear bottom first?

I have not seen what you describe

Waves are rarely over a meter here

You are looking down

You just does not notice it

The angle down to the horison is under a degree, difficult to see with your phone

I question that

Nobody has indoctrinated me, I make my own observations

I have yet to see a believable proof of a flat earth

Earth has not been flat for the last 60 years of my life

It isn't gone thanks to gravity

Entropy is the reason we have a pressure gradient

I respect your opinion but I don't share it

Buoyancy requires gravity

@the21cat Yes, it technically needs an acceleration, gravitational or by other means

A picture showing the edge would be enough

Same old script

An animate cucumber?

I put mine on Australia being behind the curve

I treat that question as rhetoric

Hopefully they land near one of the old descend stages

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 It would be better if you proved the flat earth instead

No

You claim that the earth is flat right against current human knowledge

Your burden of proof

Well it does not matter, I can provide evidence but it will be denied as usual

Eh?

No he is stating a fact

Gravity is the theory of masses bending the 4 dimensional spacetime. When we look at it in our 3 dimensional space gravity manifests itself as masses accelerating towards masses. To accelerate a mass requires a force which we call the gravitational force
