the myth of flat earth debunked again

[FaithT]

Yeah, it's round .

However, "trust the science" has lost all credibility in the past 5 years.

Well, at least since Trump took over with his bud RFK Jr.

 

[FaithT]

The thing is; even @Apple Sky believes it is round.
But also flat and 2 dimensional, like a disc or CD, rather than spherical like a ball.

Okaaaaaay. When I say “round” I mean spherical.

Funny how the first time you asked this question and i gave the same answer, you said well that solves that.

No, I didn't. The link you gave was to a thread in which I can't post.

If your convex disc moon is just above the horizon then someone in London would see the same features on the moon as someone in Sydney. That doesn't happen. How do you explain that?

That was not the post that we discussed this, it was an older flat earth thread.

If the moon is on the horizon, then everyone would see the same thing. We don't. Where do you think this convex disc is anyway?

Newsweek, CBC

Ah, so "trust the media". They've certainly shown themselves to be 'trustworthy'

In the post to which you linked, you just showed a disc equally spaced between two places. I kept asking you in the thread, post after post after post, what would we see if the moon was on the horizon.

You refused to answer. As you are refusing to do so now. Because it's obvious that we'd all see the same features the same way around. But we don't. So what's your explanation?

No, the media is not trustworthy. But then again, that's not the question I answered.

 

[essentialsaltes]

Let’s talk avoid how Einstein had to rewrite the laws of physics to explain why no motion of the earth was detected.

Galileo did it centuries earlier. We all experience it every day in cars or trains or planes. If you spill your coffee at 500 mph, it falls in your lap, not toward the back of the cabin.

 

[Apple Sky]

Not really. Your explanation does not work. Perspective does not work that way. To make it simple the curvature drop of the earth is about 8 inches per mile. So in a 90 mile road that would be about 60 feet so it would be impossible to see the end of the road. In fact you can only see less than 10 miles.

Even at 10 mile there should be a 67 foot drop in curvature, but there isn't.

 

[Bradskii]

Even at 10 mile there should be a 67 foot drop in curvature, but there isn't.

The road rises and fall along its entire length. At eye level you can only see about 3 miles to the horizon. With my drone at 300 feet, the view is out to 21 miles. The drone can see trucks approaching that it can't see at 6 feet.

Same looking out to sea. There might be no ships in sight at ground level, but send the drone up to 1,000 feet and it can see ships almost 40 miles away. How do you explain that?

Is this what science has come to ?

No, the drop is less than 32 feet at 10 miles

Just because an organisation calls itself "Freedom From Religion Foundation," and has "In Science We Trust" as their motto, that doesn't suddenly turn every scientist in the world into somebody who wants freedom from religion. I have no idea how many of the world's scientists have any connection with FFRF. I am fairly sure it's not many.

Science points to a creator. Ignore the atheists. Science doesn't belong to them.

AI Overview

Based on the standard mathematical formula for the Earth's curvature, there is approximately a
67-foot drop (specifically around 66.66 to 67 feet) over a distance of 10 miles.

Me too.

It doesn't.

Ignore the atheists.

Atheist are irrelevant.

Science doesn't belong to them.

It belongs to us scientists.

 

[Apple Sky]

It does no such thing. Science (especially NASA) points to deception.
