Alright, I think I get it
We're in agreement, but not understanding that we're in agreement
The best example I can give you right now is that of Tarzan (I know it's cartoonish, but it gives a great image).
Tarzan was human, but he was raised by monkeys. When humans of the SAME color as him came, he was "afraid" and curious.
It happens to some tribes: you can come on the same color of your skin. But what they're afraid of is the fact that YOU do not belong to that tribe.
Not necessarily the skin color.
I understand. We've been saying the same thing, I've just been saying it in an unfocused, hazy way
@The Gwench I just remembered that you wanted to hear my evidence as to why I'm a globie
You still want to hear it?
I will
I had more astrology stuff to talk about too.
With relation towards flat vs globe, not just random discussion of astrology.
@gohan Sure
Alright. So as I have been told often, you don't look to the sky to prove something about the ground. So I did some digging, and I came up with some solid proof.
Seismic waves.
Specifically, two properties of seismic waves. The first is the difference between surface waves (which travel along the surface of the Earth) and body waves (which travel within the Earth)
So what about them?
The second property is seismic shadow zones
I'll start with shadow zones.
Ok
While I like math, I don’t like it that much.
Thank you
I'll see if I can bring it down, it's long in terms of length, not so much difficulty to understand
Anyways
Seismic shadow zones
Before I start, I want to make sure of one thing.
@The Gwench can we agree that seismic measurements are not faked?
No
I can’t say either way tbh
Then it's pointless to discuss
I mean, people's *lives* depend on accurate seismic measurements
Anyways, seismic waves from earthquakes can be felt at almost all parts of the Earth, at varying degrees of intensity based on distance from the epicenter
There are, however, areas at which seismic waves are not measurable. These are called "shadow zones"
Continue @gohan
On a globe, these are areas at which the refraction of seismic waves off of the core would prevent seismic waves from being measurable, since they'd be bounced away from them.
On a Flat Earth map, these areas are little more than patches on the ground, at which the waves mysteriously disappear, with no explanation as to why those specific areas lack seismic waves, while the areas around them do.
That's the basics of shadow zones
I think he's trying to simplify it as much as possible...
