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.”

2020-03-19 22:33:02 UTC  

I can use math

2020-03-19 22:33:10 UTC  

To prove it

2020-03-19 22:33:27 UTC  

Well there is so single equation of course

2020-03-19 22:33:55 UTC  

It’s a mix of experiments done to come to a conclusion

2020-03-19 22:34:41 UTC  

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.

2020-03-19 22:35:17 UTC  

Evidence?

2020-03-19 22:35:21 UTC  

What evidence

2020-03-19 22:35:24 UTC  

Also what experiments

2020-03-19 22:35:53 UTC  

Well, I actually just had a talk earlier today with another staff member about the Black Swan evidence.

2020-03-19 22:36:03 UTC  

I'll pull it up, just a sec

2020-03-19 22:37:22 UTC  

The argument is that the visible horizon behind the second rig shouldn't be visible.

2020-03-19 22:37:44 UTC  

Due to the maximum distance with refraction one should be able to see on a globe.

2020-03-19 22:38:51 UTC  

well the GEOMETRIC HORIZON should be NO fartther, and all from, one foot should be 1.22miles

2020-03-19 22:38:55 UTC  

we see ten miles plus

2020-03-19 22:39:13 UTC  

^ Lograin's an expert on this

2020-03-19 22:39:28 UTC  

not expert, but this is basic geometry

2020-03-19 22:40:14 UTC  

the physical line horizon, geometric horizon, is what glob erfers claim ships disappear over, so this isnt a REFRACTED horizon

2020-03-19 22:40:32 UTC  

You still with us, Siegfried?

2020-03-19 22:40:55 UTC  

this is the issues, so now we can see ten miles at one foot OH proves that R of glob model is wrong

2020-03-19 22:41:13 UTC  

an to match our observations R would have to be 230,000miles

2020-03-19 22:41:59 UTC  

I have no idea wtf he’s talking about

2020-03-19 22:42:17 UTC  

So you dont geometry

2020-03-19 22:42:19 UTC  

okay

2020-03-19 22:42:20 UTC  

we can see farther than we're supposed to

2020-03-19 22:42:35 UTC  

“well the GEOMETRIC HORIZON should be NO fartther, and all from, one foot should be 1.22miles” what?...

2020-03-19 22:42:52 UTC  

you glob model asserts a PHYSICAL horizon

2020-03-19 22:42:54 UTC  

What do u mean we can see farther

2020-03-19 22:42:58 UTC  

called a GEOMETRIC HORIZON

2020-03-19 22:43:09 UTC  

this is the PHYSICAL: line you asssert ships dissappear over

2020-03-19 22:43:24 UTC  

BUT we do not OBSERVE this

2020-03-19 22:43:40 UTC  

when you calculate the GH from OH of one foot its 1.22 miles

2020-03-19 22:43:48 UTC  

and its impossible to see farther

2020-03-19 22:43:55 UTC  

as there is a PHYSIACAL obstruction

2020-03-19 22:44:03 UTC  

either the 'curve' water or land

2020-03-19 22:44:08 UTC  

that you think excists

2020-03-19 22:44:16 UTC  

but we see ten miles

2020-03-19 22:44:17 UTC
