People are finally waking up. I've known it was flat for years. If you round earthers are so sure it's round go fly a plane over Antarctica and film it. Oh gee wait you can't because the government will stop you from going anywhere near it. But yeah that's just for your "protection"
>>702057395
No, it's for Antarctica's protection, it's a delicate environment.
>>702056306
It rises faster than my dick and thats kind of depressing.

there's literally no evidence for it
>>702057395
Please be bait.
Heh, that's for flat earthers as a whole actually, too
the fact that there's no edge and that day/night wouldn't be possible if it was flat disproves it handily

there's countless easy ways to disprove it
you can do it without any effort
>>702057395
Why would you need to fly over Antarctica?
Logically if the earth was flat you could literally just fly in any direction and you would come to the edge.
>>702057919
There are various mathematical proofs that don't require going to Antartica. Of course, morons couldn't understand them, and that's why they believe in flat earth. Greeks knew the world was round before 400BC

If the earth was flat how would there be day and night
>>702059226
Yes, that's why the flat earth claim is bullshit, thanks for pointing that out.
Here's the deal: there are two types of Flat Earthers: trolls, and literal Bible interpreters. Somewhat surprisingly, we usually encounter the latter on /b/. They have the freedom to make shit up (lie) because truth and understanding are not their goals, and they end the arguments with "prove me wrong." By disavowing any science put forward and continuing to make shit up, they "win" by attrition. It is simply impossible to keep up with having to explain away the barrage of the violations of the most basic principles of geometry, math, science, and logic. They aren't interested in critical thinking or putting in the requisite effort to do the science. Proofs are tossed aside, or they may not even respond when they can't fabricate anything that would pass even their own red-faced test. They are blind to 3D visualualization. They concentrate on believing what their leaders tell them, and will not allow any sense to mar their fractured perception of the universe. There is simply no arguing. It's like trying to paint over mud. You just end up with a dirty brush.

There was a serious discussion about autism on another thread. It dawned on me that Flat-Earthers (FEs) fit the description of being autistic exactly. Here are some salient extracts:
>The thing about autism is they cannot read other people, they live in their own world. So, oblivious that no one gives two shits what they have to say, they continue their monologue until you literally run away.
>Autism seldom comes on its own; usually there are other mental problems, and these can be an indicator.
For instance, they may have been in "special" classes, or disgnosed with ADD, or loved ones desperately smile and shrug off awkward conversations/situations and the autists does not recognize situational discomfort.
This behavior is particularly consistent among FE arguments:
>I really really find it difficult to change my opinions, even when the other person is factually correct. For instance, I once argued with a teacher till 6 PM over the correct, or at least effectively correct, use of parentheses. I'm still convinced I was right.
>Not all autistic people actually understand autism. They may have gotten a simplified and inaccurate description of what it is. Also, they may be so high functioning that they feel like it'd just be better if everyone was like them. Straight forward, overt, blunt. Very high functioning people often don't like to think of their difficulties as defects, but due to failures of normal people to be more transparent.

If the Earth was flat and the Sun hovered above it and moved in a great circle around the pole, you would see a difference in motion most marked at times of rise and set. Place yourself on the equator during the equinox. At rise, the Sun would appear somehow and from north of the equator, with movment to the right/south (following its circular path), its horizontal motion diminshing over the course of the morning. As it reached overhead (Noon) it would be moving most quickly and straight east-west. After Noon it would appear to slow down and begin its drift right (north), and farther along it loses the vertical movement (never setting) while gaining the drift to the right and magically disappearing.
That of course, is not what we see. The Sun rises due east, transits straight up, and sets due west all at a constant angular speed all along its path, which is apparently straight up, over, and down, because in this geometry you (not a distant pole) are at the center of a circle it appears to trace.
Also, a close-proximity Sun would increase in brightness from invisible at "rise" to its brightest at Noon and back again to invisible at "set" in the course of one day. The graph of the intensity of the received light would vary by the square of the distance of the Sun. This means the increase/decrease in brightness would vary most radically around Noon. Again, we don't see that. We see the Sun remain more or less constant in brightness during the day, with a good accounting (and weather-dependent) for its dimming when near the horizon due to atmospheric opacity.

Flat earthers are a thing that confuse me greatly. We have a space station and cameras in space. What do flat earthers say when they see the cameras in space?

I know this is bait, but you can literally see the curve of the earth if you just get high enough off the ground.
And the reason you can't fly over antartica is because the atmosphere and environment there is heavily guarded both for scientific reasons, and to protect the ozone there.
>>702060028
So what keeps air in the planet if it's flat, it does have measurable density, it should press down against the plane and glide off past the circumferencing antarctica, leaving humans to suffocate and die.
>>702060733
Yeah but would you cross the street to avoid a group of penguin?

All over the place. It's hard for them to get high enough to see the curvature on amateur cams but it's obvious that it's there.

While that might be a compelling argument for a simple person, you can actually buy the equipment to send a weather balloon with your own camera tied to it and get it high enough to see the earth is round. It would only cost a few hundred dollars to make. People do it all the time.
Also we can see the space station go from one side to the other, and then come back from the opposite side around again.
There's just no logical reason why I'm thinking of all the ways to prove the earth is round instead of masturbating right now.

Apparently this is the explanation. I forgot that this is a fucking idiotic idea of reality, not acknowledging things like how the sun and moon work, so apparently they're shiny balls that spin above earth. Apparently the sun has a downward facing directional, not omnidirectional light so it just shines down on certain parts of the earth. Literally denies how light and physics work. I don't know I went on the flat earth wiki and that's kind of just where they left it.
>>702061161
That there's nigger-talk, son. I doubt you even tried.
>>702059067
The moon appears upside down in the southern hemisphere.
Stars look completely different in different hemispheres, and appear to rotate in different directions depending on your latitude.
If the sun were moving over the earth in a circle, then it would appear to get brighter as it got higher in the sky. It doesn't; instead it appears to be the same luminosity throughout the day.
The eclipses.
Flights in the southern hemisphere don't take twice as long.
>>702060933
>http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream
>this is a live stream? why is the earth rotating so fast
Yes, it appears to be live. The Earth is not rotating any faster than normal. The motion you are seeing is from the ISS orbital speed (of about 18,000 mph). At that speed, the ISS circumnavigates the globe in about 90 minutes.
>>702061108
Just because you're a pussy don't make penguin niggers
>>702060933
Its the station thats revolving quickly, not the earth rotating.
>Since the station orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, it experiences a sunrise or a sunset about every 45 minutes
>>702060933
In order to stay in orbit, you have to move at 17,150 miles per hour, or else you'll fall and smash into the earth. It's moving that fast so it doesn't fall and smash into the earth.

Oh they do this too. Ironically, they use lens tricks to hide the curvature of the Earth. Note the odd bending at the edge of this video as the balloon ascends:

Funny how liberals claim the earth is warming because of temperature changes in cities(i.e. where they record it). Its funny because, after 9/11 when all the planes were grounded, the temps fell by 1-3 degrees(lets assume F rather than C). Its even funnier when the fags acknowledge this fact by making it illegal to fly over Antarctica.

>>702061647
Well there's lots of evidence it's round, but some people choose to ignore it. We've known for over a thousand years that it was round. Even if you claim ignorance to the obvious things like the seasons, the tides, the stars, the rotation, the sun and the moon, the differences above and below the equator, and all of those other things, we still have pictures in the 1960s of the earth from space.

When a scientist uses the word "theory", it doesn't mean the same thing as the common english definition of "theory".
" A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world."
>>702062327
There is no "atmosphere" as you're thinking it....what we call air actually permeates the entire universe. Again just a bunch of camera tricks and elaborate conspiracies

Fuck yeah it's dumb, because there is absolutely no evidence it doesn't exist, it's a fucking all powerful deity that can do whatever it wants IF it is even an intelligent power of any kind. And it doesn't have to be a deity or tangible thing at all, it is a god. Or what your feeble mortal mind chose to call it. It may not even be an "it" at all. It is an in-comprehensible idea to grasp, something that has is and will be. Something that actually may not be. Who knows? We may all be "god" inside each others own imaginative constructs or some dumb shit. God is a word with limitless potential of ideas, it can literally be anything, or nothing. Even the shit you took today, maybe that might be god.

It's an effect that causes hurricanes to spin one way in the south and one way in the north. It also causes long range sniper shots to curve consistently off course. It's the same effect that would happen if you were riding along the outside of a merry-go-round and tried to roll a ball across it to the other side. The ball would not roll straight

Why do people think that there's a conspiracy to cover up a flat earth?
Why do most flat earth people assume that there's some major shadow organization trying to make people think the earth is round? Why would they spend centuries, trillions of combined dollars, and all this massive amount of effort, to just make people think the earth is round? What would they gain from it?
Seriously, if the earth was flat we would know about it. It would just be common knowledge. People have these things called brains, and we're capable of learning things on our own.
>>702062943 For it to be logical to believe in a god, there would need to be evidence of one's existence in the first place. There is none, it's more historically accurate to understand that all religions share an ancestry with ancient proto human spiritual beliefs which came about because we were smart enough to be aware of forces in the world but not smart enough to understand why those forces exist or what they do. That is the foundation of literally every single religion that humanity has ever made up, using the supernatural to explain things that we have a hard time understanding. Humans don't have a natural need for religion, they have a natural need for understanding life and the world, and when they're too stupid to learn how things really work, they just resort to religion.

A dumb theory is becoming more popular? It only looks that way because an increasing percentage of the global population of dipshits has figured out how to state an opinion on the internet. That, or a handful of trolls have figured out how to fuck whatever polls bother to keep track of that shit. Which couldn't be that difficult to begin with.

>>702062943
>Fuck yeah it's dumb, because there is absolutely no evidence it doesn't exist,
The problem with this viewpoint is that often times the only evidence of something's absence is the absence of any evidence. It can be damn near impossible to prove a negative. This is why the burden of proof is on the person making the claim.
>>702059366
>upvoted
They also don't believe in small scale models representing large scale phenomenon. Ie if you show them a scale model of say, the solar system. Even though it perfectly matches what we can observe, they say " no it's not the same size as what it represents thus it is inherently flawed and thus not evidence."
The crux of their arguments is taking assumptions and labeling them as truth. Then with that shaky foundation they build ontop of it with mostly speculation and few outdated scientific experiements and basic observations cherry picked out of a basket.
THey are the most insufferable people on the planet.
>>702056306

Because they believe that gives them them a valid argument for saying all testimonial, photographic, visual, and audio evidence is bunk. It's basically being extremely lazy.

Because the world loves a mystery, and this might make the FE interesting.

Speak for yourself. There is a school of "thought" that says disobeying your minister/Imam whatever is a sin. Literally "thinking" is a sin.
>For it to be logical to believe in a god
It is not logical to believe in God. Nevertheless, *most* people do. And personally, I won't fault them for that. But the lies they perpetrate in the name of *their* God is damaging to society.
>>702063502
That's my point, you only need up to DE, basic physics understanding and a bit of observational skills to make and prove like 20 methods that tell you that the earth is a spherical object.

Did you read what I said? A god does not have to be a part of a religion at all, it may not even be a deity, just some sort of in-comprehensible power or something. Or nothing. The point is, choosing a side is stupid because there hasn't been an answer for any of them, it's all just "faith." Even atheism, because you have faith that it can all be answered through just thought or science or whatever. Who knows where we came from or why we are even here in the first place, but does it really even matter? If there was an answer, deity of any kind, or lack there of, I still would not give a fuck. I'd just do me.

There are plenty of public and private organizations that have pictures of the earth from space, or from low orbit.
SpaceX for instance has been to space. There are shitloads of private companies from all across the world with satellites in space.
>>702063740
Ok look it...when you keep livestock you have two choices....free range or fenced in. Free ran ge means you gotta go herd an find em they get lost stolen they stray. Fenced in works better but they gotta have what they need within the fence. Humans need a lot more than grass and graze...they need food for their minds and their souls. You provide them with these and they're happy to stay confined within the fence you have constructed for their confinment.

I think most flat-eathers are trolls. Not all of them, but most.
so in flat earth theory. if i were to achieve an altitude just above all man made buildings i should be able to fly from la to japan with a straight shot without adjusting altitude once till i land... you realize how fucking stupid that sounds right? im sure none of you have the slightest idea how aircrafts work..
>>702064172
Have you seen that stuff about the entire universe being simulated? Elon Musk was talking about it recently. If we ever get to the point where we can simulate an entire universe, then it'll show that we might be someone elses simulation, and not even the top level simulation.
It sends me into an existential crisis just thinking about it.

>>702064360
I like this answer, but I reeeeeally want to hear from the cattle.
>>702064172
You missed the big idea of what I was saying. All religion is made up. We, as a species, developed faith based belief early on in our development of higher level thinking, and that over many tens of thousands of years evolved into hundreds of religions all around the world. Every single religion has its foundations in the supernatural beliefs of our cave man ancestors who felt the wind and heard the river, but didn't know why the air blew or how the water flowed.
It is entirely illogical to believe in any kind of god whatsoever, not believing in one isn't a leap of faith, and is in no way illogical.

>>702063814
But there isn't even an answer is the point, I never made a claim of either side, I just said nobody has been proven right and picking a side is retarded because of that reason alone. Peoples capacity for imagination is fucking shit around here. When someone says "god" you either think of religion, a deity, some tangible thing, or something with a thought process of some kind. A "god" is not meant to be understood, it is time incarnate. Creation. Everything. Infinite. The. It is what some people call "faith" they have faith in something. They just believe. That's what faith is. Just believing in something. All I really have faith in is the fajitas I ate tonight are gonna make me shit mountains tomorrow morning.
>>702064582

First up: It's not a satellite base (whatever that is), it's a radio receiver array, or actually looks more like an old cold war radar early warning installation. True, radio waves do bounce off the upper astmospher/ionosphere. Talk to Ham radio operators about that.
Satellites don't orbit "in the air." So he's already showing a fundamental lack of understanding of physics. Then he goes on to say he simply doesn't believe it. That's not proof. That's an ignorant blatherer speaking.
Oh look - the text he puts up mentioned ccold war!
Sun dogs demonstrate refractive qualities, not reflective. Fool. And it's ice crystals in the atmosphere, not the atmosphere itself.
And that's enough for now. 1:39 seconds into it, and I've got to post before this goes 404. Anyway, my point. He's an idiot, and ytou're a fool to listen tio it with your mouth open.

Yeah I guess it is illogical to believe in any religion. I don't fuck with religion, it is pretty silly to just go with it too. But I'm not an atheist either. I guess i'd call myself agnostic, really having no clue. But I don't like to label it, because what you make of creation or faith has endless possibilities. Or it may just have ONE possible answer, but who knows? Trying to make sense of it all is just ludicrous. Awesome, sure. And enlightening, thought provoking. Beneficial in some cases, but will there ever come an answer were looking for? There is absolutely no way to tell. Just time.

There is no proof for their explanations to this question, just speculation backed with cherry picked random pieces of "evidence"
Basically they want people to believe in the idea that we are all insignificant. That we're nothing more than flecks of dust. This in their minds makes us more obedient, we feel less special about ourselves thus we are less inclined to feel like we have rights and should fight for them etc. Also the bible thumpers say it's the gubbermint trying to keep us away from god so they have better control etc

Even people that build rockets to go to space make trash on Earth for janitors to clean up. I mean, I don't know your friend, but the fact that he doesn't do space stuff at a space company doesn't mean that company doesn't do space stuff, it just means he isn't that important.

That's not blind belief buddy, humans have been building up evidence for the last 3000 years
I really do think that there are more people who believe in a flat earth now than there were in the 1200's
Like people historically weren't very keen on the whole flat earth thing, the only people who have ever believed in a flat earth have been peasants who couldn't afford schooling and had to farm until they died of the common cold.

what
Howabout this: The van allen radiation belt is discovered and represents a small but real risk to astronaughts. Any risk at all is enough to cancel rocket launches let alone entire manned missions. Seems a lot more likely that they just don't want to deal with a potential hazard until they can confidently avoid it. On top of the millions of other reasons we aren't sending many manned missions into space.

Sure, they had CGI when they live streamed the Apollo landing and moonwalk constantly for over two hours.
The fact that you only see the highlights nowadays is glossed over a lot, but the original moon landing was televised for 140 minutes straight, which would have used more film 8mm than you could fit inside a house, in order to create the so called 'slow effect' of the moon walk.

No, what's retarded is pretending that there's a 50/50 split in this debate, that victory can only be given to one side if they conclusively prove either god exists or god doesn't exist. That is not how logic works.
The very reason why the format of, "Whoever makes the claim has the burden of proof" is specifically designed to weed out weak ideas.
I'm not saying you're making a claim, but religious people very much do make a claim about the nature of our universe and it's not retarded to say, "Well if you can't prove it, why should I believe it?"
Then again, I get the impression I'm wasting my time considering this contradiction;
>A "god" is not meant to be understood, it is time incarnate. Creation. Everything. Infinite.
If god is incomprehensible, then there's no way you can then say "It's time incarnate. Creation. Everything. Infinite." Completely and utterly mutually exclusive.

I view it as part of the coming deevolution of the human race. At the turn of the century, smart people became noticeably dumber.
There are still smart people, but they are making far less smart choices than they used to. Humankind is getting dumber, eventually, it won't be the evolution of the intelligence we're making in computers, but the fact that we've dumbed ourselves down below modern technology, where we will compare to the earliest computers in intelligence.
That is, to say, merely reduced to pushing buttons and nothing else.

A lot of scientists and astronomers have said the more they study the universe, the more they believe in a god. But to think it is some kind of "being" or "judge", "him" or even an "it" is ridiculous. I may be wrong is what I was saying earlier, but to be able to comprehend god or to even see it in anything is just probably impossible.

Lift equals weight...thrust equals drag....any unbalance in respect to these and the aircraft moves in respect to the imbalance. Lift is caused by a decrease in air pressure over the top of the wing...it is caused by Bernoulli principle which states that a liquid...or gas..flowing through a venturi...a wing is half of this...increases speed and decreases pressure. This causes the lift. Its also how propellers work
