flat earth debate

[patrick jane]

If you "search flat earth" you don't find "proofs" of a flat earth, because all the evidence proves that the earth is (more or less) spherical.

Rather, if you "search flat earth" (and we have) you find absolute garbage that no sane person would believe. So you can't possibly expect us to fall for such nonsense.

But it's true that we're not really "talking to" each other, because you're just completely ignoring things like this video of the Antarctic midnight sun.

ROTFL - I think that's the Fake Sun video going around. Look at at it !!! Does it look like ANY of the suns I have footage of? It's a disinformation video and it's about 1 minute of footage from a fake cgi sun. Don't waste my time with that stuff anymore. And you guys complain about MY videos?

It's a genuine timelapse from an NZ film-maker. The end of the video shows the camera rig that was used.

But of course, all of us here in the Southern Hemisphere are part of the conspiracy!

The video is a blatant fake. They don't get the midnight sun in New Zealand.

It wasn't shot in New Zealand. It was shot at New Zealand's Antarctic facility, Scott Base.

People like you don't seem to realise quite how many visitors there are to Antarctica.

And by "blatant fake," I take it you mean "contradicts my preconceived ideas."

Even if the sun stays up 24 hours a day in the Antarctic circle in isolated spots it doesn't prove a globe because this would have ended all the debates before they started. Do you think you've discovered the one thing that proves the globe and destroys flat earth? Prove that it does.

It certainly disproves the standard flat earth model.

And the stars prove that the earth is a globe. So does the observed curvature of the earth. And many other things.

... would have ended all the debates before they started.

The debate ended 2500 years ago.

Read my post past the first sentence and tell me where I said people in the north are lying. I can't talk to folks in this thread if you guys do NO flat earth research proving flat earth and repeatedly being misread and called a liar. That's flaming and goading, IMO.

And still no explanation of this from you----millions of people are getting misinformation--that is all you can say about this? Seems like you are hostile over being asked something that you do not want to answer. Just say you do not want to answer.

LOL!! Population of Alaska 2015---298,695. From May 2013 to April of this year the state hosted nearly two million out-of-state tourists, the most in its history. And every single one of them is lying about what they see!! OK!

Actually, the Arctic midnight sun doesn't disprove the standard "flat earth" model, but the Antarctic midnight sun does.

Flat Earthers claim that the sun is a "spotlight" circling the North Pole, like this (which would give any spot in Antarctica extremely short days, all year round):

There is no "missing curvature." Writing words on a photograph is not a "proof."

As a matter of fact, photographs of this bridge show the curvature of the earth fairly clearly.

wow - it's an absolute flat-earth debunk-a-thon in here

Billions

That is your explanation---billions??? I will have to assume you quite simply can not answer the question.
I wasn't asking if this is proof of a flat or global earth---I was asking the flat earth reasoning behind this which seems to be more than you abe able to answer.

And there is this classic photo from 24 December, 1968. Not photoshopped, because Photoshop didn't exist.

And in Toronto near the base of the CN Tower you can board the "Harbour Queen" captained by my oldest daughter and take a tour of Toronto Harbour and Islands.

Fake Sun. A FAKE SUN.

'Wrap it up boys, Patty figured us out. He knows about the fake sun we installed up there. Jimmy if you wanna do the giant shadow bunny ears one more time, now's your chance. Those always were pretty funny.'

And, as I pointed out earlier, by actual ground surveys and steel trackage the distance from New York City to Los Angeles is almost identical to the distance from Sydney to Perth (about 2750 miles) but the flat earth model above distorts Australia so badly as to make the distance look about double. All the flat earthers can do is appeal to magic and misleading videos and they have the gall to accuse us of a lying conspiracy.

Well, excuse me, that's not YOUR fake sun. That's the fake sun we Australians built (with help from New Zealand and South Africa) because the European sun wasn't giving us enough sunshine.

Where do you think all that wonderful sunlight in Australia comes from?
