Flat Earth: Why doesn't a Plane's altitude meter (gyroscope) pitch up and down if it's a round earth

When most people say "Round", they are referring to a ball-like shape. Yes, "spheroid" is the technical, correct term for it, but the usual slang is "ball" or "round".

When something is flat with a circle-like shape, they usually call it a disc.

Hi,

On the word flat:

Or tasteless, or missing something, or sounds flat, or needs changing like in a tire.

The moon, for you techies out there, supposedly, has an off center of gravity. And I just heard after being asked yet again an age old question by a friend of mine, that Mars has twice the amount of Deuterium in it that our oceans have. It is thought the lighter hydrogen water, is driven off by particles, once the magnetic field collapsed from the cooling of the interior of the planet.

Our amount of Deuterium is twice the normal amount that is found in the universe. I don't know how they got that number.

Deuterium is interesting because it is a fundamental particle that is not being recreated anywhere in the universe. That means to me, once it is gone or reduced, it is gone.

So, what. Nothing. I am just glad we are talking about gravity and it's effects on early dust particles and hydrogen, where the dust particles turn into planets and the hydrogen turns into stars, but because of gravity, each is round or roundish.

Roundish like our planet, is due to it's spinning, but also the sun's pull on it, again from gravity. If the sun and the moon were not there, and the planet were not spinning, then it would be as you all expect, a globe hung on nothing, just like it is said in the Bible.

Flat earthers exist for reasons that I am unaware of. Biblically they seem to exist for not knowing both science and those discoveries are to be followed Biblically. It is as though they do not understand what Genesis 1:28 says. Part of Genesis 1:28 is to subdue the earth.

Subduing the earth requires science. Since that is in there, then listening to what our scientists say, is doing what God wants those believers to do. Yet, some of them do not do that part of what God says.

LOVE,

Think about how many valves and seals ISS would need to have. Unlike a ship, they do not have a machine shop onboard. How do they replace/maintain the valves and seals?


Hi,

I will look at your video shortly. Heavy Particle Accelerators are normally called Ion Implanters. They use lots of valves, like on the space station. Semicondutor Processing sytems not only use valves, like the ones used on the space station but handle some chemicals like Surphuric Acid.

I have worked with those for years. I will watch your video now.

LOVE,

Here is an interview with an industrial valve expert:

Hi,

The video is not of any kind of use, except to be sympathizing with the plight of flat earthers. Technically, it is below useless.

1.) Why do you want to believe the earth is flat?
2.) Do you need to believe the earth is flat?
3.) You have my permission and probably everyone else's permission to believe the earth is flat.
4.) I won't like it if you do, as it will hurt me to think, that you need to believe a lie to live.
5.) However, I accept the fact, that not everyone is objective, or have the skills to understand things like those two videos of space launches and what they mean.

Do, what you want, with the roundish earth in your own mind. Do it. However, most of the world knows you are wrong and can prove it, but I have noticed that you don't want the proof.

I have noticed that each and every time, you have been offered a possible see for yourself, experience, you refuse.

Fine, refuse the truth. Refuse to know. You have that right in America, and most of the world, probably.

LOVE,

According to NASA, the temperature of the ISS is 250 degrees in the sun and NEGATIVE 250 degrees in the shade.

Tell me which seal can operate perfectly at NEGATIVE 250 degrees. The seal would need to developed to a millionth of an inch tolerance to prevent any shifts/movements. If one of the seals fail, the entire ISS is done. There are no pressurized locks/hatches between each compartment.

Hi,

That is not what NASA said. You missed quoting a word. That word is "would". NASA says that is what the temperature would be, if no controls were in place.

"Without thermal controls, the temperature of the orbiting Space Station's Sun-facing side would soar to 250 degrees F (121 C), while thermometers on the dark side would plunge to minus 250 degrees F (-157 C). There might be a comfortable spot somewhere in the middle of the Station, but searching for it wouldn't be much fun!"

Here is an article, having the word 'would' in it.

So according to that NASA article, the ISS radiators radiate the heat out into space:
"The excess heat is removed by this very efficient liquid heat-exchange system," said Ungar. "Then we send the energy to radiators to reject that heat into space."

So what happens when you radiate the heat out in a vacuum? In the earth atomsphere, the heat rises.

Where does the heat go in a vaccuum??!?!?

Same place the heat of the sun goes in that same vacuum.

Hi,

And, to add to the help from mmksparbud, you morse86 radiate heat, in the form of light called Infrared Radiation. Infrared, is merely words to denote the frequecy, thus the wavelength of light, that we are familiar with called heat radiation.

Most of sun, that warms your skin, is probably that one. Well you also send off that invisible source to you, of energy. Cameras now pick that up. That is what is on many helicopters to see people at night, and to do search and rescue of people lost in a forest.

It is that form of energy that is radiated, is what it sounds like.

Why did you misquote that article?

LOVE,

Amazing that this thread is 19 pages long when a flat earth can be demonstrated to be wrong by just looking at a lunar eclipse.

Next one is March 23rd, 2016. Don't miss it Morse! You can see with your own eyes that you're mistaken.

Just to be a little more precise...
  • A frisbee is round (but not flat).
  • Ceres, like the earth, is a spheroid.
:)

When something is flat with a circle-like shape, they usually call it a disc.

Though it's always wise to be specific with people who deny the science on a topic that was settled thousands of years ago.

They'll probably say it's just a flat disk a few thousand miles away.

If I recall correctly, morse believes eclipses are warning signs from God, so the shape of the shadow doesn't mean anything since it's just a supernatural event. That you can predict eclipses in a way that only makes sense if the Earth is spherical and a way that would make no sense if they happened at the unpredictable whims of an all-powerful deity didn't seem to faze him much.

How does he justify that it's supernatural when.....it happens naturally, can be explained and predicted with precise accuracy? I guess some people aren't willing to be wrong about anything...in which case they are not worth debating with.

For me, it matters little. I can live my life flat or globe, with no bearing on anything.

However, if there is a great hoax here, all I can say is.....there goes the big bang and evolution. There goes all of NASA's trillions of dollars of spending. This would be the biggest scam of mankind.

I just want truth. There are a lot of questions that should be answered.Many can easily be answered. Many are very suspicious.

Just point a high powered telescope at the moon and show us what we left there. Done.

Show us satellite video as it passes over the south pole without composite images.Done.

Stop with the fish eye lenses camera shots that distort real imagery. Done.

Come on people, there is an easy fix here but all we get is.."believe us", "that's so old school",
"you're crazy", "put on your tinfoil hat"...

You cannot prove a globe earth without NASA data and if they are lying who do we go to?
