well sure

2019-04-09 20:09:36 UTC  

i disproved their only rebuttal

2019-04-09 20:09:39 UTC  

they just left you to disprove them

2019-04-09 20:09:43 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-09 20:10:13 UTC  

👍

Hello

2019-04-09 20:12:05 UTC  

Here's my argument
Earth's not flat cause we have proof of:
1- Gravity
2- Gravity being less at the Earth's equator because of it's spin
3- images of earth from space
4- countless ground experiments to prove it's not flat
the usual shebang I encounter is "we don't know gravity exists" "the experiments to prove that weight was less at the equator were faked" "the photos were doctored" "the experiments were fake"
then I'm assaulted with youtube conspiracy theory videos and images that are either fake or actually disprove them

if you attempt to refute my points without using the "fake" argument, I'll be impressed

2019-04-09 20:12:54 UTC  

Well I may not be able to refute your points

2019-04-09 20:12:59 UTC  

Then you concede?

2019-04-09 20:13:08 UTC  

Well we can still discuss a bit

2019-04-09 20:13:10 UTC  

First

2019-04-09 20:13:22 UTC  

I wasn't aware of the study showing gravity less at the equator

2019-04-09 20:13:37 UTC  

You weigh a teeny bit less at the equator than you do at the poles

2019-04-09 20:13:44 UTC  

Centripetal force

2019-04-09 20:14:04 UTC  

So flat earthers usually say gravity effects are explained by density

2019-04-09 20:14:18 UTC  

And that gravity is essentially an unproven theory

2019-04-09 20:14:34 UTC  

Which is wrong, as in a vacuum chamber a hammer will still fall

2019-04-09 20:15:20 UTC  

So can you explain to me how it is that gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans down but allows a fragile butterfly to fly?

2019-04-09 20:15:40 UTC  

Because a butterfly has most of its surface area dedicated to resisting gravity.

2019-04-09 20:16:13 UTC  

Its wings flap, thrusting air downwards, and as each action must have an equal and opposite reaction, it is propelled upwards.

2019-04-09 20:16:41 UTC  

This is possible as it's an insect, and thus weighs very little, meaning that gravity has less of an effect on it.

2019-04-09 20:17:00 UTC  

So for me the most compelling evidence of flat earth is the cases where an object or building or land mass is clearly visible from a distance such that it should be concealed behind the curve

2019-04-09 20:17:12 UTC  

Usually accomplished from a height.

2019-04-09 20:17:22 UTC  

France is visible from the top of the cliffs of Dover, but not on the beach below.

2019-04-09 20:19:26 UTC  

Just as an example

2019-04-09 20:19:40 UTC  

I've seen many examples

2019-04-09 20:19:46 UTC  

There's no image there.

2019-04-09 20:20:01 UTC  

Hmm

2019-04-09 20:20:20 UTC  

if u have images u can send them to me and i will post them for u

2019-04-09 20:20:37 UTC  

Images are usually non-productive.

2019-04-09 20:20:52 UTC  

i'm just saying ;-;

2019-04-09 20:20:57 UTC  

k.

2019-04-09 20:21:14 UTC  

Yeah still no image

2019-04-09 20:21:39 UTC  

Ah, I see. The redirect link.

2019-04-09 20:21:54 UTC  

It links to a presentation with no sources for its claims.

2019-04-09 20:22:02 UTC  

You can see a YouTube video where they seem to prove the issue with the Chicago skyline

2019-04-09 20:23:46 UTC  

But if indeed the buildings are visible that should be well below the curve

2019-04-09 20:23:53 UTC  

It raises a question

2019-04-09 20:24:08 UTC  

Where were they looking from?
