Flat Earth Theory.

[Phil G]

In 1931, Auguste Piccard went up in a balloon to an altitude of 15781 m, not far above the cruising altitude of an airliner. At the altitude, Earth’s curvature is still very slight and difficult to see, especially through the small portholes in his chamber.

In a Popular Science interview, Piccard was reported to have said that Earth “seemed a flat disc with an upturned edge.”

I know Piccard said this, as I know a guy who has this magazine who has shown the actual print of what piccard said.

@10:04

This is the nearest I could get of Piccards journey.

And why are you using an advert for Hennessy Whiskey referencing Piccard's balloon flight full of CGI imagery of a globe earth in a vain attempt to verify that Piccard saw a flat earth?

 

[Phil G]

Editor-in-Chief Isabel Goyer of planeandpilotmag.com describes her experience of being able to see the earth's curvature:

"But suffice it to say that the curvature of the earth is slightly visible at airliner altitudes but quite clearly visible from 10,000 feet higher. At 51,000 feet, the highest ceiling of any production airplane, it’s quite easy to see, especially if you’re in the pilot’s seat and are afforded a field of view of 300 degrees or so."

"The experience of cruising along at 51,000 and seeing the earth visibly curved and farther below than I’d ever seen it before gave me a taste of what it might be like to be in space."

Seeing the Curvature of the Earth - Plane & Pilot

A flight in a Citation X+ gave one pilot the chance to see something very few people ever have, the curvature of the earth.

Auguste Piccard could only peer through small portholes. Isabel Goyer had a pilot's field of view of about 300 degrees.

And one of the best, if not THE best, flat-earth-debunking pilot YouTube channels out there:

Flat Earth is a scam It uses cult tactics to target poorly educated and socially dysfunctional people who are easily misled by making them beleive they are special. Aircraft flight plans prove the Earth is a Globe. The Equatorial Mount proves the Earth is a Globe. This channel is...

"Every flat Earther you encounter will have difficulty with simple Math, Geometry, physics and scale."

 

[Apple Sky]

Not only that, Auguste Piccard always referred to the earth's shape as a globe and NEVER said that it is flat.

I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.

 

[Phil G]

I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.

No, he said that's what it seemed. But he ALWAYS referred to its actual shape as a globe. He also said that if he had ruler, he would have been able to see the curve. You continue to spread misinformation.

 

[Phil G]

I can assure you he did, he's been quoted as saying 'It looked like a flat disc with upturn edges'.

And I repeat:

In post #1,717, you posted this image implicating NASA as having published a fake photo of satellites around the earth:

I pointed out to you with proof that it is an artist’s impression. You then posted an irrelevant link to a CGI simulation as a claim that it was the source of the photo. When it was pointed out to you that the link even said the simulation (which had nothing to do with the photo you posted) was CGI, you refused to even acknowledge your ‘mistakes’.

You have also consistently refused to engage with clear reasoned challenges to your claims by just changing the subject or just rehashing the same claim again.

Your refusals are proof that you don’t acknowledge the obvious & proven truth even when it’s pointed out to you. Your FE claims are just smoke for trolling. You’re not interested in truth.

But he ALWAYS referred to its actual shape as a globe.

Show me where he has referred to this.

If you can find any mention of him seeing the earth as being flat with an upturned edge in the book, let me know!

You really need to investigate further than the claims of conspiracy theorists. They're always hiding something.

@Apple Eye
I am still waiting for any evidence of the flat earth - a photograph, a video footage (you can use a balloon as many students did and attach a camera to it) or at least a realistic CGI which will present our world in detail. So far you gave nothing, nada, nill.

Also, I am still waiting for your explanation how all the fake balloon-satellites work exactly in the way they are supposed to work on the orbit of the globe. Who operates the balloons, who is faking the satellites of private companies and why you cannot see and photograph any such balloons in the skies. And how can balloons keep the precise formation like the Musk's skylink.

I also linked to Piccard's own book.

"... humanity will find enormous resources in the seas, which cover three-quarters of the globe." (p147)

Or how about another quote from Piccard's book?

"The geophysicists have installed a network of stations over the globe." (p120)

Or another?

"Therefore, because in ten years, perhaps, a brave explorer, yet unknown, will desire, on the other side of the globe, to make a dangerous experiment...." (p187)

But of course you ignore that...typical flat earther who can't cope with anything beyond their own simplistic understanding and who just obfuscates and deflects so that they don't have to address their own lack of knowledge.

And of course you ignore the YouTube interview as well where he states that he would have seen the curve had he had a ruler.

No, it’s you exposing your ignorance & deception

How much was he going to measure, 12 inches

No, it’s you exposing your ignorance & deception

Ouch, that's a bit strong

Troll

That's even stronger
