There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Absolutely, but one of the core tenants of TFES is that gravity does not exist, as it would be highly inconvenient to them. Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level.

I was addressing the stupid 3 min of video I watched on your link and I already addressed it. That dude owes me $1000. Gravity. We can throw relativity in there too, if you please, but I'm not equipped (with the patience) to provide you with the primary school education that you require if you cannot understand that without further explanation.

Just wondering if anyone can prove, not theorize, that the earth is not flat. Didn't know you'd take it so personal.

I meant in a more generic way, not in the one specific point. I've never seen anyone prove that the earth is not flat. Just curious if anyone can do that.

Plenty of people have, from measuring the lengths of shadows to observing the perceived height of distant objects. Flat out denying these things is going to get you labelled a troll.

Nothing personal. It's just that as someone that has served as a tactical SATCOM technician I find the entire thing hysterical, but intellectually vapid. Go learn some satellite and antenna theory and you'll quickly realize that it's impossible for the Earth to be anything other than spherical. It's so far below the level of discourse that you may as well assert that water isn't wet. And the way around this is to throw out anything the doesn't conform to that particular picture of reality; e.g. gravity, spaceflight, curvature on the Earth (you get 30 miles LOS on average, bub). That's how politicians think, and they're the lowest form of life. I'm not going to put together a grand experiment for you; they've been done millions of times. Literally every time a man-made craft circles the planet. Every time a re-trans site is set up on a hilltop. Every time a show is watched over satellite. It really isn't personal, I firmly believe that everyone that embraces this garbage is a congenital idiot.

Where did I do that? I simply asked if anyone here can prove the earth is not flat. So far several have responded but not one has done it. Personally, I believe the earth is round but for each "proof" you have given the flat earth people have an explanation. Not saying they are true or even defending them but you have to admit that the perceived height of a distant object or the length of shadows is not proof but a good theory. Anyway, y'all seem to be taking this too serious.

In other news, the UN General Assembly just voted 190 to 3 to declare that the Earth is a cube with a tassel on each corner. Debate about the shape of the tassels is ongoing.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

and always will be. Vast wars will be waged against the color of the tassels, and whether or not they cover up enough bare space. :sigh:

Not really, the explanations either have no scientific basis, are simply untrue, involve monumental conspiracy theories, or when none of the above apply they simply ignore the proof.

I know you are joking and you don't believe the earth is flat, but your arguing for proof in a jokingly fashion is lost on most of us, including myself sometimes; I think you missed it on the delivery....maybe not. Just so you know, it has been proven that the world is not flat, thousands of times over. To even question it makes one an idiot and fucking weirdo. Just saying... :)
