Have you checked the actual specifications of the Earth? Have you ever measured convexity of standing water? @Vitmar
Then why can you map a route which makes 3 90°turns with the same distance between each and land in the same point you started
actual specifications of earth?
what do you mean by that?
Wouldnt work on a flat surface would it
and convexity of standing water's a tricky thing
@Logrian well, we do ask questions, we literally make experiments that confirm that physics makes sense
If water is LEVEL the Earth is FLAT., because 70% of the surface is covered in water. Figure that out and you'll know the TRUTH
Great argument
your not taking many things into consideration
The lights which are exhibited in lighthouses are seen by navigators at distances at which, according to the scale of the supposed "curvature" given by astronomers, they ought to be many hundreds of feet, in some cases, down below the line of sight! For instance: the light at Cape Hatteras is seen at such a distance (40 miles) that, according. to theory, it ought to be nine-hundred feet higher above the level of the sea than it absolutely is, in order to be visible! This is a conclusive proof that there is no "curvature," on the surface of the sea - "the level of the sea,"- ridiculous though it is to be under the necessity of proving it at all: but it is, nevertheless, a conclusive proof that the Earth is not a globe.
Actually it’s more like 71% of the earth is water
why can you draw a triangle on a ball with 3 90deg angles?
Hehe. Sorry
but cannot follow said route on earth?
You can
no body has
If we stand on the sands of the sea-shore and watch a ship approach us, we shall find that she will apparently "rise" - to the extent, of her own height, nothing more. If we stand upon an eminence, the same law operates still; and it is but the law of perspective, which causes objects, as they approach us, to appear to increase in size until we see them, close to us, the size they are in fact. That there is no other "rise" than the one spoken of is plain from the fact that, no matter how high we ascend above the level of the sea, the horizon rises on and still on as we rise, so that it is always on a level with the eye, though it be two-hundred miles away, as seen by Mr. J. Glaisher, of England, from Mr. Coxwell's balloon. So that a ship five miles away may be imagined to be "coming up" the imaginary downward curve of the Earth's surface, but if we merely ascend a hill such as Federal Hill, Baltimore, we may see twenty-!five miles away, on a level with the eye - that is, twenty miles level distance beyond the ship that we vainly imagined to be " rounding the curve," and "coming up!" This is a plain proof that the Earth is not a globe.
Because nobody bother to proof something that has been proven many times and is known already
actually, if you take a telescope you can see the ship isn't getting bigger, it's actually rising from the horizon
but that needs a lot of distance
@Ronin it's easier for you to believe a comfortable lie than an uncomfortable truth
we should make this experiment
using straight lines? impossible
bet
100000 dollars
you cannot travel in staight lines over 1000 miles
so the earth is round?
i bet a gazilion bazilion dolars
Bring your money
@Ronin Please fill this out completely and correctly.
If everything on Earth was pulling to one central point we would not have LEVEL water..
We would not have a 4000 square mile Salt Flat in Bolivia if the Earth was a globe
You dont seem to understand earth is not the size of a basketball
then how it would be?
