It is Neither Flat or Round. It is an dynamic rock floating through space and time.

If it is so, it will lead to a lot of discussions :D

The result of using a laser to test the curvature of the earth and see if it matches this calculator : http://earthcurvature.com

The truth is that there are hundreds of ways to prove round earth with bare eyes and basic maths. There is no way of proving flat earth (obviously because it is a wrong model)

Interesting...Is there really 100s of ways?
Can you name 3?
Bare eyes do not prove globe and niether does maths..nor do any of the 5senses that we all have. Imo :-)

1.- Horizon; 2.- Position of Stars in Sky, 3, Shadows.

Horizon doesnt say globe. Position of stars...def not if i think of it the stars should change around u every hour but they dont
And shadows are because the sun goes around us..imo
replied 2193d
Horizon SAYS globe (Learn trigonometry), Angle of Polaris in sky is the same as your latitude on the globe (basic navigation), And shadows show the truth:

Watch a time lapsed video of the stars. If we were spinning the stars would not look like this..
the stars would be makin vertical style circles.
replied 2193d
Think twice, draw a draft, and you'll understand that they spin exactly as they should. You can even calculate the latitude of the places where the stars were filmed..

Lols i have..anyways until we dont get real footage of a globe earth.spinning at over 1k mph per 24hours...anything is possible...and we all know nasa never went to the moon :-)

Why do flatties believe the Earth is flat? Because it beleived to be so before and for so long? I'm asking this seriously.

They're religion is to basically distrust everything that is supposed to be conventional knowledge as a psyop that's keeping them from the soul freeing truth that the earth is flat.
replied 2193d
Because they think everything the state / science / educational system says, is brainwashing. They just can't see that some things are in fact provable and proven. What can you do...

I think that's the point. It's similar philosophical excersise to trying to prove the existence of God(or lack thereof). In that way it's a very Cartesian belief system.

You can see much longer than you should be able to according to the round earth model.

According to what I have seen in some videos it has been possible to see longer. I think I should try it myself someday to completely verify.

Both sides will claim that tools were manipulated if results aren't what they wanted.

So how much do you want to bet per participant?

If you have to ask, I would prefer not to be on talking terms. thanks

So you don't talk to people who question earth's shape?
replied 2172d
nope, some people are too gone.

How is that?

replied 2191d
People tend to live in their own crafted realities. Belief is shaped by the mind, and the mind will solidify any belief. So no one can really say what someone believes is false.

Unless that individual has been sent up in a rocket and truly observed earth from his/her own eyes, one does not truly know. It's all hearsay. Could all be a big lie. Or not. ;)

replied 2191d
And the person going there only knows him/her self. They can't tell anybody because the person they tell to never knows if they are lying ;)

Both. Elliptical, but not perfect.

I think it's proper term is oblate spheroid (¿Spelling?)
