Is the Earth Flat? - Some Evidence Presented

[HMS_Beagle]

Give us all some relief and go back to slapping your mother.

JM

I told you you're not my mother. And I wouldn't have to keep slapping you if you were honest and dealt with the tons of evidence against your Geo / flat earth stupidity already provided.

Further to the previous discussion on clouds. If the earth is curved then we should see the clouds curve away at the horizon just as we see ships fall under the horizon. Picture 1 shows the view we see on earth with the clouds and ships shrinking in the distance due to perspective.

Picture 2 shows the view if the earth is curved. There is an inconsistency in the ship orientation and the cloud orientation. The ships bend with the curved earth, but the clouds do not. This is typical of what we see with curved earth claims. The claims typically follow the ship, but ignore the lack of cloud curvature.

Picture 3 shows what should be seen if the earth is curved. Both the ship and the clouds should be curved over the horizon.

The inconsistency between the ships disappearing over the horizon and the lack of cloud curvature directed over the distant ships indicates the curved earths claims require observations to be eclectic.

That's why you should go back. Your mother bore a son who ignores the tons of evidence.

All pictures were taken from this video - Flat Earth Freedom

An eclipse was photographed from a plane on 20 March 2015. The location of the plane was near Scotland as the eclipse path crosses over Scotland. Notice how high on the earth the shadow is, falling over Greenland and Scotland.

Eclipse Location on 20 March 2015.

Long shadow of the moon over the earth.

The location of sun-moon and plane in relation to the plane, near Scotland.

Picture 2

The moon and sun are aligned at 5.14 degrees to the horizontal. The shadow from the moon sould be caste on the earth as shown and not be seen by the plane.

Picture 3

The photo shows the sun spot on the clouds and the short shadow below the clouds. These indicate a small, close sun above the clouds.

Pictures 5 and 6 show the moon shadow caste on a flat plane, matching what is seen from the photo's taken in flight.

Picture 6

A contrast of the ball earth model with the flat earth model. The ball earth model shows the moons shadow low. The flat earth model shows the shadow long, matching the photo in flight.

Conclusion - If the details of this eclipse event are correct, then physical support has been found in favor of a flat earth, against the ball earth model. As the geometry of the eclipse favors a flat earth model, evidence is also inferred for the moon being close to the sun and therefore having a similar size to the sun.

Your mother not only dropped you, she dribbled you and took a couple hoop shots.

hey stupid, go to the beach and hold a ruler up to the horizon. You'll notice that the ocean droops at the edges, just like in picture 2.

As for the clouds, I can see the curvature you talk about almost any time I look at the clouds. What is your problem?

Even with the claims of slowing the film to imitate moon walking on the moon, the moon walks are still faked. The steps and jumps are too small for 1/6th gravity. Your conclusion is largely based upon the testimony of one video which doesn't address many other objections.

Of course the steps were small. Their suits were pumped up like balloons, making it difficult to move in them. You're not going to take long strides in one of those spacesuits.

Not to mention that they didn't want to risk falling over and damaging their suits on rocks.

if the earth were flat it would take a lot longer to go around the earth at the southern tip of south america than it would at say, at florida or even at the equator it doesnt.

If you're aiming for the thread starter, you missed. He's an ardent Roman Catholic.

Some Roman Catholics can consider themselves to be Evangelicals.

I thought he was Catholic.





Oh, nevermind. Looks like the Pig has you sorted.

You're probably right, I should have just said fundamentalist Christians (and yes Catholics can be fundamentalists).

So Jim can see what the rest of us cannot see. Apparently the curvature is so small over 8 miles or so that we shouldn't see curvature. When refraction is taken into account, as Jim says it should, we should always see something else again. what are we to see, whatever we are to see to affirm the globe, that's what we are to see.

A ruler to the eye? I suppose whenever the ruler moves the earth ain't curved no more. If the ruler is a little bent then the earth is doubly curved. If we have a drink or two, the earth is no longer sober.

What a joke.

Apparently they fell over plenty of times. They did it inside an oven as well. Its simply no believable. They didn't have the technology to get to the moon, let alone move around safely on the moon. The landings are a fraud.

Where did those moon buggies come from? Quite large weren't they and those pods were quite small. I guess they were waiting for them when they landed at the local studio. Apparently the space pods just move through 2000 degree space without feeling the temperature and the van Allen belt twice without affecting the astronauts. Those guys could also throw away their suits before they left the moon as well. No need for a suit, we will open the pod door in 200 degree heat and no atmosphere, take a loooong breath, and then throw the suit out. After that, then reconnect with the orbiting ship, then head back home. No problems at all.

NASA is a faith based initiative. Not much substance their at all.

Why don't you do us a favor and go down there for a while?

2000 degrees?

[Yttrium]

Well, at least he moon landing conspiracy theory is one where you can find a lot of other kooks online who agree with you. Not here, but there are places on the internet they like to hang out. I'm amazed to find anybody who takes the flat Earth idea seriously these days. The ones you find talking about flat Earth online are normally just jokers and hoaxers who don't really believe it. Which is why it's very hard to believe you're not just hoaxing us about that.
