basically there are a few things that can get you booted

2018-10-12 16:26:22 UTC  

swearing, being disrespectful to people, name calling

2018-10-12 16:26:33 UTC  

I'll be avoiding that

2018-10-12 16:26:35 UTC  

calling people stupid

2018-10-12 16:26:51 UTC  

aha

2018-10-12 16:27:47 UTC  

so you have globe believers who think their model is the only viable model, they are wrong

2018-10-12 16:28:00 UTC  

well

2018-10-12 16:28:08 UTC  

that is what you think

2018-10-12 16:28:11 UTC  

flat earth works within its own model

2018-10-12 16:28:17 UTC  

I'm personally more of a globe believer

2018-10-12 16:28:25 UTC  

but sometimes I wonder if it were wrong

2018-10-12 16:28:31 UTC  

its not what I think, its a fact

2018-10-12 16:28:37 UTC  

some FE proof seems reasonable

2018-10-12 16:28:39 UTC  

flat earth model works

2018-10-12 16:28:43 UTC  

oh please avoid that kind of talking with me

2018-10-12 16:28:52 UTC  

I'm not fond of empty claims

2018-10-12 16:29:08 UTC  

you have the sun that is 93,000,000 miles away

2018-10-12 16:29:17 UTC  

that only works if you assume we live on a globe

2018-10-12 16:29:17 UTC  

not really

2018-10-12 16:29:26 UTC  

do you know how scientific measures work?

2018-10-12 16:29:41 UTC  

it doesn't have to be at 90.000.000 miles away

2018-10-12 16:29:42 UTC  

if you don't assume that, the pythagorean calculation comes out to 3,400 miles away

2018-10-12 16:29:49 UTC  

that is an _approximation_

2018-10-12 16:29:57 UTC  

that's how scientific measures work

2018-10-12 16:30:18 UTC  

you put a bunch of people at different parts on the map and draw a straight line

2018-10-12 16:30:21 UTC  

That calculation of 3,400 miles works only if you have fewer than three observation points.

2018-10-12 16:30:23 UTC  

to where the sun is in the sky

2018-10-12 16:30:28 UTC  

Try it with three, I dare you.

2018-10-12 16:30:34 UTC  

it doesn't matter how many observation points

2018-10-12 16:30:42 UTC  

you can have 20

2018-10-12 16:30:50 UTC  

It does. Try it.

2018-10-12 16:31:03 UTC  

I'm not running around doing experiments

2018-10-12 16:31:09 UTC  

you have flat earthers who have already done i

2018-10-12 16:31:18 UTC  

With three observation points?

2018-10-12 16:31:29 UTC  

Or, since you say it still works, 20?

2018-10-12 16:31:37 UTC  

I'll track down and videos

2018-10-12 16:54:36 UTC  

The first video uses one observer, so it's completely flat-out wrong about the whole idea. The second video only uses two observers, so it is again inaccurate.

2018-10-12 16:56:29 UTC  

The reason is that two points can define a line, but you need three to define a plane and four to define space.

2018-10-12 17:04:10 UTC  

your math is wrong
