flat earth debate

[Radagast]

I'm still here because I'm curious as to how deep the rabbit hole is. I'm now being told that planets, galaxies and the space program are all fake, along with any evidence for them, but so are dinosaur bones.

And everybody's telling lies, including, apparently, me, because I took a flight that "doesn't exist."

Even ignoring the additional height orbit confers, the Earth has a surface area of around 510 million square kilometres. Divide that by the 16,737 satellites and you get one small object every 30,470 square kilometres.

Besides, what does he think happens to all the satellites and do we add another million or so to the conspiracy - even my old company had a satellite division and managed several of its own.

That was not a satisfactory explanation.

In the Southern Hemisphere in summer the days get longer just like in the North... how would that be possible if the sun speeds up to the the vast speed needed to traverse the much longer outer path in one day?

In addition the perspective sunset explanations aren't even sufficient for the images in the video. Why would the bottom half of the sun disappear first?

Why does it so rapidly approach the horizon despite being many times higher and brighter than airplanes?

(Sorry for the delay in responding).

You might want to check your own posts. At least Patrick jane and Jacksbratt have been posting things other than snark

You might want to take your own advice before you give any.

And when people can't cope with things being beyond their control or occurring as random events, they dismiss it as "conspiracy"

lol.Thanks for proving you don't know what "conspiracy" means.

Go out on any clear evening shortly after sunset and after twilight and you'll see plenty of satellites in motion across the sky. They're not stuck to the inside of an invisible dome while attached to a balloon (that never seems to run out of helium). Seeing for yourself will bring you closer to reality than spending all your time in front of a computer screen watching conspiracy videos made by your favorite Youtube celebrities looking for their slice of fame.

I have that as my wallpaper right now

Seriously??? So do I! Man, we think alike!

Or someone is paying you to say that, or you were on a simulation of that flight, or the windows had computer screens outside making you believe you were on that flight, or the pilots actually took a different route than indicated on the map....

Thanks for adding precisely zero to this discussion

I saw some pretty cool simulated Antarctic ice through the windows on the way. And after I arrived, I saw some pretty cool simulated lions and wildebeest. And an entire simulated city of Johannesburg.

And I guess that, while I was sleeping, they secretly altered my watch to fool me about how long the flight took.

Rad, Trog, or somebody asked me yesterday if Google was in on the fake nasa hoaxes also. I think this answers that, and the point that nasa claims that 60 miles high is the altitude now needed to see curvature. This images solves both "problems" the globers have. Look where the bottom half of the images comes from. Look this up if you don't believe me.

All globers think alike.

I really wish that NASA and all the rest would stop using a fish eye lens. I mean really... the right tool for the job, boys.

A fish eye lens will show curvature at 20 feet, 100 feet and 1000 feet....

So, trash the fish eye and lets get real......even on that tripe where the guy parachuted from space... All around... fish eye lenses.... EXCEPT, they messed up. The camera from inside his little capsule... when they open the door...looks out to a view with no curve. However, it is a very short piece of horizon.

...No math skills or idea of what "discussion" means, either.

Trog would consider this "discussion" and a valuable addition to the "conversation".

At least you admit it even if you got the reason wrong.

Why should we divide and assume the distribution is even?

Glad you can admit that. It's the first step to a whole new world of reason.

@HitchSlap - If it's physics, why don't fish die in a fish bowl, or lizards in an aquarium? Why don't we die and get cooked to death in our houses?
