It’s why flat earth is not a theory, and ball earth is - because ball earth passes none of the method.
And flat earth passes all of it.
Observation, measurement, and experiment.
But I've seen experiments carried out that disproved flat earth
Done by flat earth people
Like what?
So I think it's jeranism
You think he proved a curve at surface level when we can’t observe that at higher altitude?
Please for the love of God, spare me.
And he sets up a series of wooden poles of equal height at distances and each pole has a hole at the same spot. Then they shine a lazer through the hole. On flat earth the lazer should go through all the holes and be visible. But when they did it you couldn't see the lazer. It was below the hole because of the curvature
That was what they said basically
But you are right it makes no sense how you could have a noticeable curve effect at that small a scale but no visible curve in that picture
A curvature consistent of a sphere that has a circumference of 24,901 miles?
Right.
OK so grant that the earth is flat
Thank you. Glad to have you around.
Haha thanks. I appreciate you discussing with me. I just want to know the truth. So do you believe that space is as described? Do you believe in distant stars and planets?
I take a biblical approach.
There’s the sun, moon, and stars.
That’s it.
There’s 4 of what they call planets.
Different sizes and shapes of rotundity.
Quite impossible for the distances they’re said to be at.
OK but the saturn one there you seem to be able to see a sphere with rings around it. Can't be a star
It definitely looks peculiar.
But it’s not a planet.
And it’s not a sun.
Why not a planet?
Because it also changes in rotundity.
Terrestrial objects can’t do that.
Celestial objects, yes.
Unless some outside force effects the earth, perhaps then our shape would change. But not like what we see with the stars.
So sun and moon are inside the firmament?
I can only say that’s a belief.
Though, it’s one I hold.
We dont know exacly where the sun or moon are.
we know they are lights
thats what we can observe
How do we know the earth is flat
