Not taking into account the few years of mediocre, non scientific "fact" that has been put out there with this recent "fad" that the earth is flat.
What in the actual hell is the point and/or benefit of the government and world leaders trying to cover up a possible flat earth? If it was flat, don't you think we would be right here on /b/ knowing it was. Right now I would be posting in conspiracy thread stating that the earth is actually round.

So true. Alas, it's just bait anon. Wouldn't ya know? Look at all these (You)'s
There are thousands of satellites out there in the orbit but literally ALL pics of Earth from space are CGI/composites
Why?
None of these satellites is able to take a REAL pic of Earth and nobody is questioning why.

I'm not sure what you're getting at overall in that post but I'll humor you about being a pilot. There's no reason not to believe you've at least flown in an aircraft before if you say you have. But isn't it possible that while you think you're seeing the curve of the earth what you're actually seeing is the curve of the window of the plane? Afterall, are not all plane windows inherently curved in order to conform to the shape of the plane itself, be it because of the fuselage or otherwise?

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.

Burden of proof is on you that it is. Also that pic only provides further evidence against modern astronomy: notice the hotspot on the clouds?

Nah, see you're looking at this through the lens of modern times only. You have to keep a proper perspective: for thousands of years, FE was accepted as truth.

It has nothing to do with the "angle of light", those are pretty much identical because of the distance, like you've noted. It's the angle the light is hitting the Earth because the Earth fucking curves away. In fact, if the Earth was flat, that "hotspot" would be everywhere. The fact that it is round is what makes it look that way. You've actually managed to disprove your own argument. Congratulations

Not true. Eretosthanes not only proved the Earth was spherical, he came pretty close to the actual figure measured.

You never proved your theory. That is, the theory of everything asserted by modern astronomy. Modern astronomy has absolutely convinced the world that nothing that is obvious is true:
>it is obvious that the earth is flat, yet they say it is curved
>it is obvious that the world is motionless, yet they say that it moves
>it is obvious that the heavens revolve around us, yet they say it is us that revolves
>it is obvious that the stars are stars, yet they say the stars are suns
>it is obvious that the sun is bigger than the stars, yet they say the stars are bigger than the sun
>it is obvious that the sun and moon are the same size, yet they say the sun is 400 times larger
>it is obvious that Earth is the only planet, yet they say there are over a septillion planets
>it is obvious that up is up and down is down, yet they say it is not so
Of course, none of these statements should be taken literally as facts. The point is that modern astronomical theory runs contrary, and in many cases directly opposite to everything that is clearly observable to the individual. Thus it is their burden to prove that what is not obvious is true. And if you look into the matter they clearly have failed to do so, despite the widespread acceptance of the theories posited by the field.

2) Is uneducated enough to not know the experiment involves a well and a tower.
3) Doesn't realize that although just two points may not define a sphere (as in your diagram), more points would, (and have done) because the difference of shadow lengths would deliver a different set of lengths.
4) Could have followed through but didn't, to determine how high up the Sun should be if the Earth was flat, thereby coming up with a hard figure. It'll take some time for me to work that out, but don't want this to 404 before posting. But it's 7.2° for 1/50 the Earth's circumference (just under 25k miles for ballpark).

>"Gravity doesn't exist"

You're caretaker must not let you have contact with the outside world, and I can see why.
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.
How do you orbit somthing that's flat? Countless replies saying satellites orbiting. So it must be a sphere then?
>>701094931
It maintains its initial position because planes follow the curvature of the earth and don't fly in a straight line
Okay, here's some proof that the world is round that you can observe yourself, thus bypassing any conspiracy theories. All you need is a good pair of binoculars and some way to get to a port.
Simply make yourself comfortable, pick a departing boat and watch it sail away for as long as possible. You will observe that as it reaches the horizon the hull of the boat disappears first.
What does this mean? It means that from where you're standing, the circumference of the world is blocking the bottom of the boat first. I'm sure someone else can explain it better than me.
Even if you disregard this, a flat-earth model doesn't account for simple things like time zones and different seasons in different parts of the world.
Any questions?

Prove the theory of gravity then. Hint: you can't.
How can anything, by virtue of its mass alone, cause a force which pulls other objects towards its center? Think about how absurd that sounds. Why would that happen? What causes it? There is no explanation. There are no demonstrable examples of this happening with any other object sans planets themselves (allegedly).

>>701095153
The theory of gravity is very easily proven. Simply drop something, or observe moons orbiting a planet.
I think you mean we can't explain exactly how it works, which is true. Science can't explain WHY it works yet. However, we know enough about it and its workings to provide undeniable proof that it does in fact exist.

Simple: the boat had not yet quite reached the horizon; whatever lens you were viewing it with prior didn't have the capacity to follow the boat to the very edge of the horizon. Limitations enforced by equipment are common in science. If you're serious about it, sink some money into a high-quality telescope, long-distance camera etc. and repeat.
>>701095818
>the best explanation that we have.
Nonsense.
The best explanation for what, exactly? Everything you can't explain, maybe.
But couldn't the reason things fall be more simple than that? If you put something in a medium, be it air or water or whatever, and that thing is heavier than the medium it is in, then it will fall. It's simply an inherent property of density.
How does gravity simultaneously emit enough force to hold the world's oceans to the earth's crust and conform them to its curve (water always finds its level), yet still remain weak enough to allow bugs and birds to take off and fly through the air?

ITT: A bastion of science and logic is forced to fortify its defenses to protect itself from the onslaught of a horde of savages that obey chieftain Poe's law.
>>701096143
Because the world's oceans and crust don't exert any upward force, whereas a bug must exert more than the force of gravity upwards in order to counteract it.
>>701096137
How can it go over the curve and be brought back into view by zooming in with devices more powerful than the naked eye?
>>701096143
It's a matter or aerodynamics. Bugs and birds aren't very dense, and their wings have high enough surface area relative to the attached creature that,awith the proper application of force, the creature is able to force the air particles underneath its wings downwards, thus propelling the creature in the opposite direction the air particles have gone.

It doesn't matter; it isn't about that. The problem is the reason the ship disappears, supposedly, is because it is obscured by a wall of water. No amount of zoom should be able to restore the ship into view.
>>701092721
different camera lens can alter proportions, yes.
>>701097143
Whether or not that's true is beside the point. NASA themselves admit to photoshopping their own images, including the blue marble pics in question. Funny how they never make a point of mentioning that fact in all the textbooks throughout the world in which such images are depicted for millions and millions of children to see, though, huh? Totally not like the blue marble pics were hugely influential in the minds of all who viewed them growing up over the generations or anything.
>>701097141
There are two reasons the ship might disappear: one is the wall of water, another is the lens that you're viewing it through isn't powerful enough. Same reason people disappear as you take off in an aircraft. They're still there for now, the lenses in your eyes just can't focus on them.
>>701097141
And it doesn't. If anything remains to be seen, looking at it through a scope will reveal only the top part of the ship. Did you even go to that web site?

>>701089716
Let's see...
The horizon curves away from you when you look out into the ocean. If you look at ships for long enough, you can see them slowly sink below the horizon, giving the appearance that they're actually sinking. If the Earth was not curved, the ships would be constantly visible, and not give off the appearance of a submerging ship.
What about timezones? How can it be 12 AM in one place and 12 PM in another? That would not be possible with a flat Earth.
What about shadows? If you put to massive sticks in the ground in separate locations, their shadows will be different in length, as well as direction to some degree. This would also not be possible with a flat Earth. The two shadows would be identical.
What about the visibility of stars? As you approach the equator, more stars become visible, and other stars you could previously see vanish below the horizon. As you move away from the equator, those stars dip below the horizon, another stars become visible. On a flat Earth, this would not happen. Neither would seasonal constellations and stars.
How about other planets? You could use a relatively cheap telescope and view other planets within our solar system, and they are CLEARLY round.
Also, your view distance changes as your elevation increases, which also supports a rounded Earth. If the Earth were flat, your distance of visibility would be constant, regardless of elevation. The higher up you are (let's say you're on a very tall tower), the further you can see, as your elevation counters the curvature of the Earth.
>>701089716
And the lunar eclipses and cycles? What about that? We know for an absolute fact that the shadow on the moon is caused by the Earth blocking portions of the sun's light from reaching the moon, causing a darkened spot. That shadow is CLEARLY round. Chunks of the moon aren't vanishing during non-full moon periods of the lunar cycle either, because you can clearly see the dark parts if you look at the moon with a telescope during a phase where the moon isn't fully lit up. Op you are stupid
>>701097581
Thanks for the back-up, bro.
>>701097471
Yeah but if it's a distance of only a few miles, even, then the object should be at least partially hidden. I have seen videos of people performing this proof, and it suggests the Earth is flat.

I 'm talking about the 3,00 mile hump as the one example. If you mean the cherry-picking the whole lunar eclipse thing, this is a fundamental problem with FE hypothesis, and cannot be dismissed. This is a recurring phenomenon viewed by over half the world (because of its duration) at a time.

>>701100257
I agree - I was addressing a FE "proof" that some vidiot posted about seeing distant islands off Santa Barbara. His "proof" involve using numbers that were wrong from the get-go. Maybe confuse meters with feet. That's about how far off it was.
>>701094476

>>701096466
It doesn't go over the curve, it simply goes out of range of your device's capability. So when you use a more capable device, the range is extended. As long as your device is sufficiently powerful, there will come a point after which the ship will disappear and increasing your device's power will not make it reappear. You fucking douche

>>701101296
>it simply goes out of range of your device's capability.
No, it literally doesn't according to round earth. Curve is measurable and increases exponentially. No matter the zoom, there quickly comes a point at which an object should be completely hidden by the curve.

Stop lying you fucking shill.
>>701100927
The lift (aka upward force) from the air changes direction as you slowly revolve around the Earth. So the plane, whose wings depend on this lift, change as well, without having to redirect the path of the plane manually.
>>701089716
If the Earth is flat and you aren't a huge turboretard then how have people never tanken a picture of the side or fallen off the side?

not that anon, but that one flaw IS determinant, because the lunar eclipse can not happen in FE while in RE is posible... it's not a matter of a miscalculation or insufficient proof, it just disproves the flat earth model... even in case the earth isn't round, there is no way a lunar eclipse could happen in any flat earth model
>>701101493
I was trying to explain things in retard terms, sorry I don't have a lot of experience doing that so it may have come off as confusing. Most people can use common sense to see why what the post was saying was just wrong
Get on my level OP
>>701101548
So the constant upward force changes direction and becomes... downward force? What? If lift is upward force and a plane is always being lifted then it is always going upward, there can be no change in direction of that force by definition.
>>701101763
Earth is oval, not round. Sun and moon makes the center bulge over the years
>>701096466
That doesn't actually happen, you're retarded for believing it does. When it goes over the curve, it does so regardlesss of the device you're using. If you think it went over the curve and then you zoom in with a scope and it's still there, it never actually went over the curve and you're just too stupid to tell the difference between something going over a curve and something getting too small to see

Virtually every image on the planet is "photoshopped". Contrast, light, areas are tweaked. Hell, even before Photoshop existed, details were enhanced or edited in the darkroom, or with airbrush.
Trying to add the word "photoshopped" to everything simply shows your ignorance of what photography entails, and what a composite image is.

>>701101787
This explanation is rendered completely invalid due to the fact that lunar eclipses have happened and continue to happen regularly when both the Sun and Moon are still visible together above the horizon. For the Sun’s light to be casting Earth’s shadow onto the Moon, the three bodies must be aligned in a straight 180 degrees.
>>701101788
If you're so smart why is it so hard for you to explain things in "retard terms"? Are you sure you aren't yourself, retarded?
>>701101157
>So if it has one flaw the whole theory is automatically bunk?
Oh - that's a loaded statement. It depends on what the claim is, what the proof for it might be, what the argument and proof against it might be, and how it changes the fundamental principles of the underlying hypothesis. In this case yes, this one scenario is enough, unless there is a counter argument that can support the original notion.
> So if nothing else, the lunar eclipse is good enough proof for you that means the Earth is round?
It's powerful, but it it isn't alone. We have five more arguments to consider as well, all of which are explained in a spherical-Earth scenario.
>What about the many flaws in round earth theory that round earthers can't address?
Sorry - what? Have I missed something here? What flaw have you pointed out that wasn't countered with something like or actually, "It's CGI" or "It's a conspiracy" or "you lack proof" which is then ignored?
>Why do you not apply the same reasoning to your own model?
I do - I just haven't seen anything that dispels spherical Earth.
>>701101911
>So the constant upward force changes direction and becomes... downward force?
Yes, because by changing direction, the only possible thing I could have meant was a complete 180 degree flip.
>always going upward, there can be no change in direction
Are you retarded? That's the whole point. It can always be upward AND change if "upward" means away from a curved Earth. For fuck's sake, just draw a circle on a piece of paper with lines going straight out from the center. Do they always go the same direction? No, but they are still always going "upward" from the surface of the Earth. Only in a bullshit flat earth model would "upward" always be the same thing.

Are you even trying to stay within the context of the discussion? Whenever the object first starts to become obscured, and I mean ACTUALLY obscured, not "my naked eye can't see part of it but then I zoom in and it's there, but I refuse to accept the fact that my eyes can't see as well as a scope", it will be obscured at any magnification

Earth is oval, not round. Sun and moon makes the center bulge over the years
the earth's bulge is 42km, on a equatorial diameter of 12,756 km and a polar diameter of 12,714 km.
To put it in equivalent scale, if the earth was 1m in diameter, then the difference between pole-to-pole diameter, and across the equator would be 0.3mm.

Because there is an international treaty preventing people from investigating Antarctica beyond certain limits on their own.
Photos have not been taken of both poles, if you look into it they admit the poles are always moving. That picture of the literal South Pole is not exact, and thus not real.
Why are planes not allowed to fly over Antarctica, even and especially when doing so would yield a more direct route to a destination?

Yes, that's true. And it does happen. And the Sun and the Moon are simultaneously visible only if you are at the Earth's terminator (you see sunrise or sunset). And the Moon would only be visible if partially eclipsed because in full eclipse, it would not be able to shine brightly enough to see against a twilight-lit sky.

Said Anon, pulling a claim right out of his ass.
please, show me a lunar eclipse where the sun is not either just setting, or just rising, and the moon is not at the EXACT opposite side of the horizon.

Please do not use Mercator Projection for this image, it only distorts it in ways that the Flat earthers' will drool about
Please do a look into "Mercator map projection distortion" and see why its a bad choice of map.
the Winkel-Tripel projection is a better option, if you can find a high-res version.

Take an orange. Draw a face on the front, ears on the side, hair on top, sides, and back.
Now draw the whole orange on a piece of paper. You may even peel the orange to flatten it and help you. Therein you see the problem with drawing a sphere on a flat surface. You have to "rubber-sheet" something to make it happen. Your diagram is flawed in such an elementary fashion that it has to be classified as a troll.
Can a flat earther explain the lunar cycles?
Can someone who believes we went to the Moon in the 60s and 70s explain how NASA says its too dangerous to leave Earth's atmosphere today despite all the advances in technology over the last several decades. Did we regress? A pretty raggedy looking piece of equipment got men back and forth in the 60s. Surely we can do better now.

do you really believe there are hundreds of thousands of real human beings out there just going through life completely unable to understand anything?
Hundreds of thousands of people believe in flat earth? Jesus christ man, at least provide a citation if you're gonna make a statement that horribly depressing. That's just sickening.
But... yes, I do believe that anybody who is stupid enough to reject such an abundant amount of proof in favor for circular logic and optical illusions must be beyond any sort of reasonable ability

What landmass is that supposed to be below him, New Mexico? Wow, I never knew it was so fucking huge.
What did I hear?
I has a couple questions,
1. If earth is flat how thick is it?
2. What is on bottom?
I'm all ears
You called it!

This proves you don't understand reason yourself and are projecting your own stupidity onto flat earthers. It's foolish to believe that so many people would succumb to a movement based on absolutely no reasoning, or purely, as you put it, "optical illusions and circular logic." Yes, people in general are stupid but there must be some way, some reason why the movement has gained so much traction. That is because it does, in fact, raise several intriguing and compelling points. It must in order to be as successful as it is, or it wouldn't be. You have probably never looked into the subject seriously, and the entirety of your contribution to this thread has come from that initial, knee-jerk reaction everyone has to the idea ot flat earth at first. In short, educate yourself.

>The result was the Kola Superdeep Borehole and a drill-depth of more than 7.5 miles (12 kilometers). To put that in perspective, Kola descends further than the deepest point of the ocean, which lies at nearly 6.8 miles (11 kilometers). The borehole is located on the Kola Peninsula of Russia.
nobody knows, we only dug almost 8miles

>how exactly you know that they are faked
>NASA admits it.
No, it does not. Stop talking bullshit.
Or to put it another way: Citation? Please find a citation from NASA stating that the Blue Marble photograph taken by astronauts on December 7, 1972, at 5:39 a.m. EST is fake.
You wont, because it is a single photograph, taken on a used a 70-millimeter Hasselblad camera with an 80-millimeter Zeiss lens, on Kodak Film stock.
Stop talking bullshit you have no knowledge of.
>Obviously neither can you, if you didn't know NASA admits to faking their own images and you believed they were real.
NASA does not "admit" such, and as such, your entire idea is based on a fallacy.
>Cherry-picked as fuck, for one thing. Second, why is that the only allegedly genuine picture they have provided in all that time?
Because you are conveniently ignoring every single other image, such as Earthrise, that contains the earth too.
Furthermore, it is one of the few good shots when the sun was directly behind the ship, unlike the other Apollo missions where the visible hemisphere was only partly illuminated.
And incidentally, the reason there are very few post-apollo should be pretty obvious: those are the only missions in the history of mankind with crews that have gone above low earth orbit. Photos from the ISS, Skylab, Shuttle missions, etc, do not have the entire earth in shot because they are too low. Same reason you arent going to be able to take a photo of your back yard, and the neighbour's in one shot, from standing on a chair in the middle of your yard, pointing down at your feet.

>explain how NASA says its too dangerous to leave Earth's atmosphere
In what way? The ISS is above the Earth's atmosphere and has several people on board. I think you're missing something.
>Did we regress?
I think this discussion proves yes, but... It's not the technology that lacks. It's the funding versus return. We were in a space race that served as a proxy war against communism. Once the technology was proven, the science was adequate to answer several questions, the people got restless and moved from "ho-hum" to "Feed the poor!" and we stopped.

That is most of the north american continent, remember the guy reached a very high altitude.
So what's your point?
>>701105887
So where is the edge?
Clearly if we are on a FLAT PLANE we must have an edge SOMEwhere.
How come i can go from a single point into every direction and not fall off?

It proves that faith in the Bible and its literal interpretation will override all proof. There is a culture fomented by certain "religious" leaders (who have a very real financial stake in this) to scare the living shit out of people and into having them follow their way or the Hell way. Get them early enough, and you can traumatize them into submission for life. Those are the people who no longer have use for thinking. They follow.

I suspect FEs are using the Blue Marble stated composite image as the example for all photography ever made anywhere. This image is often confused with the Apollo 17 image, which as I understand it, is the first full-Earth taken in a single frame by a person from space.

>it's foolish to believe that so many people would succumb to a movement based on absolutely no reasoning
You've got to be fucking joking. It happens literally everywhere all the time, what do you think religion is? This movement is gaining traction only because people like to feel special by going against something that's widely accepted. But instead of the Enlightenment or something like that where people were combating blind dogma with science and reason, you're actually doing the opposite. You're pleading people to join you in throwing hundreds of years of scientific advancement out the window by providing easily disprovable and cherrypicked "inconsistencies" that actually make perfect sense once you put a little thought into them. You are part of a movement that is actually REGRESSING our species. You ought to ashamed of yourself

See admiral Byrd's south pole expeditions
He talks about 'land beyond the south pole', rich in minerals and oil and coal.
I believe he penetrated the ice barrier and continued onto the ice until he found another 'pond'

>Please find a citation from NASA stating that the Blue Marble photograph taken by astronauts on December 7, 1972, at 5:39 a.m. EST is fake.
You must not have read the part about cherry-picking. I meant in general, the vast majority (all others except for the one in question) are admittedly faked by NASA. I'm not going to spoonfeed you, look it up yourself, you'll see.

I already posted an image which proves the Earthrise has to be fake. You are conveniently ignoring that, while falsely, ironically and hypocritically accusing me of doing the same.
If you believe we actually went to the moon you're just a plain idiot and there's really no hope for you, sorry.

Doesn't look like it to me; doesn't look real to me; if NA is that big then the other continents wouldn't fit.

How is that an edge?
There a thousands of people who have traveled somewhere, found something where they didnt expect it and said some mysterious shit.
There are continents that have been found like 22 times.
How does this in any ways explain why there is no edge, and why do you think we with all our modern technology cant go beyond that "ice barrier"
>>701105989
>Can someone who believes we went to the Moon in the 60s and 70s explain how NASA says its too dangerous to leave Earth's atmosphere today despite all the advances in technology over the last several decades.
That's simple.
NASA does not say anything of the sort.
--
What NASA says is that the Van Allen Belt is more of a danger in terms of radiation damage than they previously thought. As such, they need to develop BETTER technologies to allow longer-term habitation above low earth orbit altitudes
In the Apollo launches, they literally went around the problem by launching north, and curving around the most powerful areas of radiation (the equatorial belt), so passing through weaker areas, and doing so very fast - only there for a short while - See image here for a simple version of what they did - the line being the route taken.
That is not a solution for long-term orbiting in the VA belt regions of space where someone would be inside the belt areas for hours, days, or even years - which would be highly dangerous.
>>701106361
That's just a meme.
>>701106607
Actual quote, "But strangely enough, there's left in the world today, an area as big as the United States that's never been seen by human beings, and that's beyond the pole, on the other side of the south pole, from [little? I can't quite make that out] America. And it's uh, I think it's quite astonishing that there should be an area as big as that unexplored."
So he's describing a large area that is on the continent of Antarctica that lies near the pole but lies towards Africa.
It's not difficult to understand, if you try a little and listen.
Relativity states that objects in orbit are falling in a straight line
This straight line is parallel to the Earth's surface
The Earth's surface is straight
Therefore The Earth is Flat

>>701106923
>In the Apollo launches, they literally went around the problem by launching north,
They did not launch north. I have no idea where you get that. Anyway, at the time no-one knew what happens in the Van Allen belts. It's one of those risks that test pilots take (and a reason that the hoaxers are such a disgrace).
Turns out, the passage through the belts isn't great, but the time spent in them is brief. What's bad is that they are a protective shield from general cosmic radiation. That's very unhealthy, and the structures of the craft are not very robust in that regard. Until some sort of shielding can e devised, long-term exposure is still a health risk. The ISS orbits inside the belts.
