then it doesn't matter why they would lie. you don't believe they are
So I ask myself why a hypothetical lie would be made?
but that shouldn't be used to determine the shape of the earth
'Why' is the most interesting question to me
I have my own hypothesis. others here may have their own. regardless, it can't be answered scientifically.
Because it doesn't ask for a fact, which means the answers can be multiple things, much more interesting
so what's the point?
but none can be tested/proven
Exactly
so why is it relevant?
Why is an opinion relevant?
if I gave you 5 reasons they would lie, so what?
what does that have to do with a laser test across 20 miles that shows no curvature?
but you can easily do this yourself--come up with possible hypotheses
What if that laser was strong enough to 'travel around the world'? Or point from pole to pole?
what poles?
North and south pole
how do you know they are there?
we can calculate the amount of curvature that should be visible across a distance
and we don't see that
@Flat Earth PhD wait a sec ..should a laser have a curvature if it cross a 20 miles? This is new to me 🤔
there should be measurable curvature, yes
even 5miles
even 1 mile
roughly 8inch/mile 2
Can i have references for more informations please?
I really want to be able to send images 😂
so over say 20 miles we should see a drop of 266 feet.
but we don't see that. we can still see a laser or mirror reflection from shore to shore
Hmmm iam gonna study this more
@ChinaGirlNL if you really care about the "why"....ask yourself, what is the difference between a spinning ball (that supposedly resulted from a big explosion) and a flat surfaced earth with a firmament
from a metaphysical point of view. not the obvious physical differences
you don't have to answer. it's a rhetorical question
What difference do you mean? (Easier way of questioning please, I'm foreign and 15 😂)
does it seem reasonable that this would be the result of a big explosion? (e.g. "Big Bang")
yes or no
Sorry for saying this, but as a globe earther, I don't even think this seems reasonable at all (no offense)
hypothetically
No
great. so that would then lead one to what logical conclusion for where it came from?
