Its blatantly stated they are computer generated photos on the web page. But none the less even without the pictures we can use our own eyes and or a semi-decent telescope and look at other distant spherical planets.

>>686480857
we have viewed the earth from multiple angles.
in all those viewing angles, the earth appears round
there is only one possible shape that is round from all angles.
the earth is therefore a sphere.

for one i want earth to be spherical, makes universe seem very realistic
on the other hand, flat earth theory makes great sense with "hollow earth" (petri dishes of life form experiments) and makes third to fourth dimension easy to understand for me

i gotta say ive been my entire laughed at it, i still take no sides, but im leaning towards flat earth rather than sphere earth theory, and the fact that nasa in hebrew means to deceive is just worrying

lmao, you can clearly see the curvature in the top photo. Drawing a straight line under it doesn't prove your point.

Furthermore, if the Earth were flat, distant objects would fade into view instead of appearing top-first. Pic related, as you can see the ground and the shorter buildings are not visible, which makes it seem they're standing in the lake.

That model doesn't account for eclipses, the sun and moon having different paths through the sky, the sun and moon appearing at the same time in the sky and moving at different rates, phases of the moon, the sun and moon disappearing bottom first over the horizon and appearing top first, the sun magically not being visible in the sky at a certain distance, instead of disappearing over the horizon, etc. There are so many holes to plug in this model, it might be a dutch dam.

The earth was proven round by a simple mathematical formula.

Take a well, mark a point down the well, time how long it takes for the sunlight to reach the mark in the well. Then find a well say 100 miles south or north of your first well, repeat process, the difference between the times can then be used to calculate the curvature of the planet.

gravity pushes equally from all sides. therefore, in order for a planet to be flat, gravity would have to exert more force in one area more than another, which is impossible

>gravity, you supernigger

this is the only thing you ever have to say to blow the fuck out of flat earthers. by the way, the earth is not round either you geometrical fuckup you. its spherical. SPHERICAL

I never said or implied you were OP. This, coupled with the fact that you didn't even bother to read the thread before spouting opinions so retarded that even a fetal-alcohol syndrome Zika baby could effortlessly dismiss them, shows that your intellect hardly rivals that of a sheep.

Your "it's just le fog, ZOMG le objects will fade in! hurrrrr X^)))))" drivel is so fucking stupid that only someone like you could possibly believe it to be a coherent argument.

That's right, I honestly believe that world war and mass genocide would be far less of a disaster to humanity than your genes spreading to the next generation and turning everyone into walking potatoes.

This whole thread is bait. If the earth was flat, as you moved towards it's edges, gravity would be pulling on you so hard that it would be like climbing an enormous mountain. As you reached the edge, assuming you could escape the immense pull of gravity, you would be able to stand on the plane of the edge as if you were standing on the edge of a coin. This has never been observed.

I love how flat-earthers always try to say that we have to prove that the earth is not flat, when all of the evidence points to the contrary. Last time I checked, if you have such a contrary theory, it is up to you to prove your theory. So flat earthers, good luck trying to disprove a whole body of evidence, including physics demonstrations, basic measurements done 1000 years ago, and photos from space.

Look at all commercial plane routes.
They will go way out of their way and have stopping points, sometimes the first stopping point further than the original destination, if you were looking at a globe model. But when you put those routes onto a flat model it works out perfectly.

People had this figured out 200 years before christ. Granted their measurements weren't as accurate as ours are today, but they were pretty spot on, from using their level of technology at the time:

"Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth without leaving Egypt. He knew that at local noon on the summer solstice in Syene (modern Aswan, Egypt), the Sun was directly overhead. He knew this because the shadow of someone looking down a deep well at that time in Syene blocked the reflection of the Sun on the water. He measured the Sun's angle of elevation at noon on the same day in Alexandria. The method of measurement was to make a scale drawing of that triangle which included a right angle between a vertical rod and its shadow. This turned out to be 1/50th of a circle. Taking the Earth as spherical, and knowing both the distance and direction of Syene, he concluded that the Earth's circumference was fifty times that distance.

His knowledge of the size of Egypt was founded on the work of many generations of surveying trips. Pharaonic bookkeepers gave a distance between Syene and Alexandria of 5,000 stadia (a figure that was checked yearly).[16] Some say that the distance was corroborated by inquiring about the time that it took to travel from Syene to Alexandria by camel. Carl Sagan says that Eratosthenes paid a man to walk and measure the distance. Some claim Eratosthenes used the Olympic stade of 176.4 m, which would imply a circumference of 44,100 km, an error of 10%,[16] but the 184.8 m Italian stade became (300 years later) the most commonly accepted value for the length of the stade,[16] which implies a circumference of 46,100 km, an error of 15%.[16] It was unlikely, even accounting for his extremely primitive measuring tools, that Eratosthenes could have calculated an accurate measurement for the circumference of the Earth for three important assumptions he made (none of which are perfectly accurate):[17][16]"

Because using this image proves it already. Light is an EM wave and thus has an unlimited range, thus if the earth were flat and the sun did function in this fashion you would still be able to see the sun and experience daylight from any point on the 'disk world'
>>
>>686489920
yeah but the problem is we are talking about huge distances, not just a few kilometers
at that much distance, even if the initial fraction was just %0.1, they would add up and china would be invisible to us

also they are not exactly two different principles, the reason we see things is because light is refracted from them at a greater angle, so on the very basis it is pretty related
>>
>>686491256
No there isn't. On the other side, there is a massive body of science dedicated to the circumference of the earth, as well as planetary physics. You guys are just too stupid to read a science text-book, and understand what's being said in it. Brush up on your math, retard.

>>686491658
reflection is different from refraction, did you go to school? Also if you've ever been near the sea you'd know that you stop seeing clearly after about 7 miles. The initial argument was that the apparent curvature of the earth is caused by refraction, which doesn't make sense.

no, initial argument was this >>686484795
and op says this >>686485171

i'm saying reflection and refraction are basically caused by the same thing. though they are different phenomenons.
you are right though, english is not my main language and i am not exactly familiar with scientific terms so i realized that i misunderstoop op later, sorry about that

but still the initial statesment remains correct, if the earth was flat we still wouldn't be able to see china from here

What science do you have that proves the earth is flat? So far I've seen none. I've seen plenty of evidence that the earth is round, and it orbits in an ellipse around the sun, which orbits around the center of our galaxy. You need to brush up on your physics, mang. What sort of environment does this flat earth exist in, that allows it to be flat? In the vacuum of space, gravity on the planetary/ solar level pulls things into a spherical shape.

There have been plenty of posts absolutely destroying your dumbfuck theory ITT, but you ignore them all because your intention is not to engage with them. If you legitimately wanted to convince people you would present your case up front and then respond to criticism, instead of resorting to name-calling.

No, all you want is a smug sense of superiority, the feeling like you're better than everyone else because you're the only one privy to special knowledge. Which means that not only are you unintelligent, but you're also an asshole.
