I have never seen it with my own eyes, but the experiments done and the math says it is round.
A lot of people around here would call that an "appeal to authority." That is to say that people have told you it is a globe and you're willing to believe them. In a debate setting, that's not exactly convincing evidence.
The flat earth theory seems to be built around this idea that “if I didn’t see it then it’s not true” or that it doesn’t exist. Which is ridiculous. Atoms exist, but you don’t see them.
Most flat earthers I have talked to tend to bring up the Bible, but if they have never seen god or talked to him..would u call that an “appeal to authority.”
I can use math
To prove it
Well there is so single equation of course
It’s a mix of experiments done to come to a conclusion
An appeal to faith is not something I would consider during a debate either. A lot of flat earthers around here will be happy to provide you with a lot of evidence and experiments.
Evidence?
What evidence
Also what experiments
Well, I actually just had a talk earlier today with another staff member about the Black Swan evidence.
I'll pull it up, just a sec
The argument is that the visible horizon behind the second rig shouldn't be visible.
Due to the maximum distance with refraction one should be able to see on a globe.
well the GEOMETRIC HORIZON should be NO fartther, and all from, one foot should be 1.22miles
we see ten miles plus
^ Lograin's an expert on this
not expert, but this is basic geometry
the physical line horizon, geometric horizon, is what glob erfers claim ships disappear over, so this isnt a REFRACTED horizon
You still with us, Siegfried?
this is the issues, so now we can see ten miles at one foot OH proves that R of glob model is wrong
an to match our observations R would have to be 230,000miles
I have no idea wtf he’s talking about
So you dont geometry
okay
we can see farther than we're supposed to
“well the GEOMETRIC HORIZON should be NO fartther, and all from, one foot should be 1.22miles” what?...
you glob model asserts a PHYSICAL horizon
What do u mean we can see farther
called a GEOMETRIC HORIZON
this is the PHYSICAL: line you asssert ships dissappear over
BUT we do not OBSERVE this
when you calculate the GH from OH of one foot its 1.22 miles
and its impossible to see farther
as there is a PHYSIACAL obstruction
either the 'curve' water or land
that you think excists
