Is the Earth flat or round???

[usexpat97]

That's quite a rate of drop. That should be visible and recordable on any large body of water... however... it is not

Wait...on a flat earth, how does a large body of water even exist? Doesn"t the water all fall off?

I believe i read some where that around 30 miles is the record for an airplane flight.

That could be. The thing is with airplane's is that they need to create life with the air moving across the wing. The air gets thinner at higher altitudes and lift becomes increasingly difficult the higher you go.

No.
I see that you are new to this topic. The oceans are held in by a shore around the perimeter of the flat earth. An ice wall at Antarctica.

This wall is what gave "Operation High Jump" it's name.

On the topic of Antarctica being an Island:

In 1773 Captain Cook became the first modern explorer known to have breached the Antarctic circle and reached the ice barrier. This expedition offered an exciting chance to find proof of either the flat or globe Earth models because Captain Cook intended to sail completely around Antarctica looking for inlets through the ice-wall. If the Earth was indeed a globe 25,000 miles in equatorial circumference as the heliocentrists claimed, then a complete circumnavigation of Antarctica would be approximately 12,000 miles, and if the Earth was flat with Antarctica surrounding the entire circumference, a complete circumnavigation of Antarctica would have to take over 50,000 miles. During three voyages lasting three years and eight days, Captain Cook and crew sailed a total of 60,000 miles along the Antarctic coastline never once finding an inlet or path through or beyond the massive glacial wall! Captain Cook wrote: "The ice extended east and west far beyond the reach of our sight, while the southern half of the horizon was illuminated by rays of light which were reflected from the ice to a considerable height."

Later voyages by Captain James Clark Ross and Captain George Nares in the 19th century further confirmed Cook's findings. Ross's expedition spent 4 years and 5 months in heavily armored warships failing to find an entry point beyond the southern glacial wall, and Nares spent over 3 years circumnavigating Antarctica, taking an admittedly indirect course, but clocking in nearly 69,000 miles total! If Antarctica truly was the tiny ice-continent claimed by globe-Earth proponents, all of these expeditions would have ended years sooner.

I'm without words.

As we all are when we first hear of this huge controversial topic.

Could it be that 1773 measures were not very accuarate. What about today's measures?

There is no serious controversy.
What is the Size of Antarctica

That is the same with the planes that is just the people who are connected with these fights. They can really say anything and unless you are personally there and are capable of observing , if not it is something that just has to be taken as their word. And either believed or not.

With all of, besides the Bible, it is hard to tell what is true and what is not, even from so of these youtube flat earthers and especially the Governments of the world and their sponsored science. I have watched a few presentations that were just way hard to believe.

I would say 99% of what i believe about Gods creation is from the Bible the other small percent is from observations i see personally.

How high must one be for the curvature of the earth to be visible to the eye?

I have heard this argument before. However, even with our technology... it just makes things easier. But the navigators on ocean going vessels of days gone by had to be very accurate. When you are traveling that far with only the stars and a sextant... if you are not accurate.. you can die. These sailors were experts.

Here is what gets me about going high above the earth and looking for the curve. I don't fly much as I am not much of a traveler.. But...

If you were to stand on a large ball, you would only see so far before you saw a horizon. This horizon would be the same in all directions, as the curve of the ball would make the surface obscured beyond this point as it dropped away.

Now, if you were to raise up above your present spot.. you would see farther. This new vantage point would allow you to see the surface at a further distance. At this further distance, the surface would be lower than before.

Keep rising and as you do, you would see further and the surface would be even lower still.

Keep doing this and the horizon would get lower and lower until you see the diameter of the ball and the spherical nature of the ball.

This is not what happens on our earth.. The horizon is always right there mid view, center frame of any shot or sight...

It turns out Cooks voyages are a rabbit hole if you dare drill down on them.
Rick Potvin's Virtual Circumnavigation of Antarctica to Decide if Earth is Global or Flat: Captain James Cook is not a useful reference for flat earth Antarctica after all.

No it is not.

This is not longer funny or amusing.

For your amusement.. you can view these images while listening to "It's a Small World After All".

 

[JacksBratt]

Yep. It's not funny when an organization that gets 53 million dollars a day from the US tax payers... has to use a kiddie lens (fish eye) and cannot afford are big boy lens to take real pictures. Pity.

It may end up looking like this...... Shocking....

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

What is your source for that picture?

 

[d taylor]

Here are a few images from Nasa.

Notice the inconstancy of the images and the earth is much smaller in the top image or either the land masses are much bigger than we are being told

 

[trophy33]

This is a beautiful proof of a globe. Even from such height we can see only little bit of landmass, not even one whole continent. Why? Because the rest is behind the curve ;-)

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Your photos demonstrate nothing.

I am sorry. I can no longer take you seriously. You are here just to have some fun pretending to believe this ridiculous concept. Joke is on me for engaging with you.
