Alright, I think I get it

2019-02-18 22:20:52 UTC  

We're in agreement, but not understanding that we're in agreement

2019-02-18 22:21:03 UTC  

The best example I can give you right now is that of Tarzan (I know it's cartoonish, but it gives a great image).

2019-02-18 22:21:20 UTC  

Tarzan was human, but he was raised by monkeys. When humans of the SAME color as him came, he was "afraid" and curious.

2019-02-18 22:21:45 UTC  

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.

2019-02-18 22:22:02 UTC  

Not necessarily the skin color.

2019-02-18 22:22:54 UTC  

I understand. We've been saying the same thing, I've just been saying it in an unfocused, hazy way

2019-02-18 22:39:31 UTC  

@The Gwench I just remembered that you wanted to hear my evidence as to why I'm a globie

2019-02-18 22:39:35 UTC  

You still want to hear it?

2019-02-18 22:45:53 UTC  

I will

2019-02-18 22:46:15 UTC  

I had more astrology stuff to talk about too.

2019-02-18 22:46:39 UTC  

With relation towards flat vs globe, not just random discussion of astrology.

2019-02-18 22:48:13 UTC  

@gohan Sure

2019-02-18 22:49:14 UTC  

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.

2019-02-18 22:49:18 UTC  

Seismic waves.

2019-02-18 22:50:00 UTC  

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)

2019-02-18 22:50:01 UTC  

So what about them?

2019-02-18 22:50:13 UTC  

The second property is seismic shadow zones

2019-02-18 22:50:20 UTC  

I'll start with shadow zones.

2019-02-18 22:50:42 UTC  

Ok

2019-02-18 22:50:47 UTC  

The other one is a long-winded mathematical proof that I don't want to type out on a phone.

2019-02-18 22:51:17 UTC  

While I like math, I don’t like it that much.

2019-02-18 22:51:23 UTC  

Thank you

2019-02-18 22:51:58 UTC  

I'll see if I can bring it down, it's long in terms of length, not so much difficulty to understand

2019-02-18 22:52:01 UTC  

Anyways

2019-02-18 22:52:06 UTC  

Seismic shadow zones

2019-02-18 22:52:52 UTC  

Before I start, I want to make sure of one thing.

2019-02-18 22:53:05 UTC  

@The Gwench can we agree that seismic measurements are not faked?

2019-02-18 22:53:21 UTC  

No

2019-02-18 22:53:34 UTC  

I can’t say either way tbh

2019-02-18 22:53:37 UTC  

Then it's pointless to discuss

2019-02-18 22:53:55 UTC  

I mean, people's *lives* depend on accurate seismic measurements

2019-02-18 22:55:55 UTC  

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

2019-02-18 22:56:40 UTC  

There are, however, areas at which seismic waves are not measurable. These are called "shadow zones"

2019-02-18 22:57:26 UTC  

Continue @gohan

2019-02-18 22:57:42 UTC  

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.

2019-02-18 22:58:39 UTC  

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.

2019-02-18 22:58:54 UTC  

That's the basics of shadow zones

2019-02-18 23:00:17 UTC  

ok just because you say fancy stuff dosent mean your right @gohan

2019-02-18 23:00:36 UTC  

I think he's trying to simplify it as much as possible...

2019-02-18 23:00:42 UTC
