Why can't I prove the earth is round? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37579514 United States 05/09/2016 11:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thing is... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72153121 It's actually quite easy to prove the earth is spherical, and it doesn't require complicated equipment or advanced mathematics. About 3,000 year ago people made the same, simple observations and concluded the earth was round. Yes, they even estimated the diameter of the earth pretty closely with the "2 guys in 2 different wells at the same time" experiment. In the case of flat earthers, I suggest they repeat this experiment....but stay in the well for the good of the gene pool. |

Quoting: Childzies Ok, when I first heard of the flat earth theory, I never dreamed anyone could be so dumb to question the shape of the earth. Then I kept seeing it pop up. Many world leaders, including Obama, have recently mentioned the flat earth. I've looked at numerous photos of the earth from space and see may discrepancies in the size and shape of the continents. I've never found a real picture of a satellite in orbit when there are supposedly thousands of them. I can't understand how engineers have never accounted for the curve of the earth in building bridges and sky scrapers. It seems the more I look into this and try to prove the earth is round the harder it gets for me to do so. Can anyone here provide solid evidence that the earth is a globe because I would love to see it. Have you never seen a lunar eclipse? There, it's proved. I'd also be interested in where exactly FlatEarthers think the sun goes at nighttime. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1216670 Considering that on your infantile flathead model, the south pole surrounds the earth. How can the whole south pole be illuminated 24/7 for 4 months during summer? I mean this would mean that the whole outside of the earth is illuminated AT THE SAME TIME. How can the sun be everywhere? Just this little fact (out of thousands) completely blows your childlike arguments away. The lack of flatheads to counter tangible evidence such as this, is what leads people to discount your kind as completely irrational crazy fuckheads, that do not possess critical analysis skills. That is why most people do not bother to answer flat earth threads. |

I thought it was the stupidist thing in the world, so I set out to disprove it. I have spent numerous hours over this last 15 months researching this subject. Studying all the video and other info I could find. I've kept an open mind with the only goal of finding the answer. After all of this time, I haven't been able to disprove the flat earth theory and my findings have shown that we are not being told the truth about the earth. I have also not been able to find actual proof that the earth is a ball. At first glance it seems like we have already been told the truth about the round earth, but then once you begin studying you find out the so called proofs are not proofs at all but very intricate deceptions. Fact of the matter, I really don't give a flying f..k if you believe me or not. I know what I have studied and learned and in that regard I am glad to share with others who are interested in discussing. I have respect for all who are studying this subject with an open mind because I know what you will find if you actually are interested in learning. If this subject doesn't interest you, then why are you here? Why are you disrupting those trying to learn. Makes no sense, but some people are just dicks. |
