that last picture makes no sense
the sun sets, so therefore it would wink lower like on the curved surface segment
Are you joking?
Reality literally shows you
but the curve is so large, you would not be able to perceive it in the method described in this photo
good grief Charlie Brown
Bullshit and you pulled that out of your ass
basically your argument is "It looks flat, so it must be flat"
which is inherently anti-intellectual
whereas your argument is: It looks flat, but it's a sphere
it looks flat because the earth is very large, and you cannot perceive it on your own
with nothing but argument ad-populem while calling us 'anti intellectual'
No, Logos, you're strawmanning me
@Pwnelius exactly. Its a given law in geometry that with any large sphere, and a small observing body, things look flat, due to the sheer size of the sphere
Your argument is "It LOOKS flat, so it must be flat"
which was the belief humans held for thousands of years
it is observably flat. that is all we're saying
a belief human sheeple held for thousands of years
not observably flat
That's an argument from incredulity assuming the earth is too large to fathom.
That's a logical fallacy and a half, bro.
@Pwnelius
Obvious to your senses
That's not an argument from incredulity, please go look up what that means
the EARTH is MEASUREABLE
Only your mind tells you otherwise
yeah and your mind tells you it's flat, right?
you're backing yourself into the exact same trap you're setting for me
Not at all
My senses tell me it's flat
right.
"it LOOKS flat, therefore it MUST be flat"
If you call the scientific method a trap, okay then.
I've been to many countries and to the middle of the ocean and seen only flat.
we're just starting with the basic steps of the scientific method. OBSERVATION is the first thing you do
My exact experience tells me it's flat
My mind agrees with my senses
so you're basing your beliefs on your own perceptions
Your mind does not
