This thread is about you guys proving to me it's a sphere but if you insist/

You can see Toronto across 30 miles of lake Ontario at sea level (0 feet elevation) which would be impossible on a curved sphere earth because it would be hidden under 600 feet of curvature with most of the buildings hidden except for the tops of a few. There are literally hundreds of confirmed examples like this all around the world going back hundreds of years.

Not only does your post not take in account of observer height, bit it doesn't take in account the relative height between you and the CN tower.You also need to know how high the ground is right below the CN tower, there's really a lot of things you need to consider before you go off saying the Earth is flat.

And if the gravity acts perpendicular to earths surface, what would you need to consider anyway? If you lay a bunch of tracks on the curved surface, the tracks will curve with the earth.

The tendency for a mass to compress into a sphere is the most efficient method of storing energy and releasing said energy. Take a shitload of magnets and break them into bits and pieces and they will all form a denser and denser sphere. To make a sphere rectangular or a different shape would mean that an outside force would have to compress said sphere into said rectangular shape. That is more energy added to the equation, something that Occam's razor does not agree with.
Diamonds are flat, compressed and strong, but only in terms of a steady increasing pressure strength. Because of this they're also brittle and will shatter because it cannot store the energy of a strong change in force from multiple directions. Any faceted side will eventually wither down to a sphere and nature takes advantage of this law and uses the sphere to minimize energy loss. The faster it spins the more energy it loses and the flatter it becomes, like turning and throwing pizza dough.
This fact alone is why the earth and every goddamn planet is more or less a sphere. It's the most efficient way mother nature works.

That's where you're wrong kiddo

This is a known phenomenon of atmospheric distortion caused by the rising water molecules at differentiating temperature levels. Much like you see waves over a desert rose that cuts off images the same effect happens over water.

Durthermore you can see far more of the buildings than that should be hidden. Only the TOPS of a handful of buildings would be visible

>Also what about the moon landings?
Clear fakes

There is no dust on the moon landing pads yet in their very own images there are footsteps in moondust caused astronauts only inches away from the thrust engine

>What about Ferdinand Magellan and his many fellow ship-men who experience the curvature of earth every day?

Did they really? You do realize you can travel around a flat earth too right? You do realzie that these explorers never went point A to point B around the earth but had countless stops and reorientations zigzagging around the earth which is possible on a flat earth.

>Why would you trust one photo from a balloon when you don't trust others?

There's 10s of different of independent balloon launches showing no curve. Flat earthers never tried to lie to me or deceive me but NASA has and scientists tell me unproven facts about the universe are facts while also claiming science and going against their own scientific standards. It's fraudulent.

I have no attribution to what causes the moons tides. Not al lthe answers can be known but it could be the moon on flat earth too or something else.

The official story says moons gravity doesnt effect small bodies of water because it needs more space to build up. It's all ad hoc theory based on models based off of false proof of sphere Earth though. I can go into further detail but it does come back to ad hoc theories for mainstream scientists.

You don't have to just see Brian Cox's. Theres a bunch of other videos of shit being thrown in vacuums, and you could probably do it at home too. Or just take something thats aerodynamically similar, but with different densities. It will still fall at the same rate.

Sun and moon aren't "local". You can prove moons distance using parallax. And gravity depends on the inverse square law.

Here's the deal: there are three types of Flat Earthers who regularly post to 4Chan: prankster intellectuals who troll to test your knowledge and debate skills, literal Bible interpreters, and most recently and proliferately: the juvenile-level troller.

None of them provide any evidence of phenomena that require a flat Earth model to explain, but rather place the onus on you to prove the round Earth (again, and again, and again, ...) while disavowing any science or proofs put forward. They will post memes that ostensibly 'prove' some flaw in the round Earth model, but containing geometry, maths, logic, and facts so absurdly wrong that you are compelled to display your superior intelligence and knowledge. By responding, you've taken the bait.

Trolls await your posts (reasoned or prefereably emotional) and meet them with insulting or provocative responses. If you reference web-based information (that they could have looked up, had they interest) they will accuse you of being a shill for some absurd conspiracy.

They don't care whether the Earth is flat or round. It's about the lulz from getting you to respond. It is simply impossible to keep up with having to explain away the barrage of stupid posts, and the anonymous nature of 4Chan makes irresponsibility a tool of the prankster. Arguing is akin to painting over mud - you just end up with a dirty brush.

After returning from a trip to Egypt, Aristotle noted, “There are stars seen in Egypt and…Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly regions.” This phenomenon can only be explained if humans were viewing the stars from a round surface, Aristotle continued, claiming that the sphere of the Earth is “of no great size, for otherwise the effect of so slight a change of place would not be quickly apparent.” (De caelo, 298a2-10)

The farther you go from the equator, the farther the "known" constellations go towards the horizon, to be replaced by different stars. This would not happen if the world was flat.

When a ship is at the horizon, its lower part is obscured by the Earth's curvature. This was one of the first arguments favouring a round-Earth model.

It has been suggested that seafarers probably provided the first observational evidence that the Earth was not flat, based on observations of the horizon. This argument was put forward by the geographer Strabo (c. 64 BC – 24 AD), who suggested that the spherical shape of the Earth was probably known to seafarers around the Mediterranean Sea since at least the time of Homer, citing a line from the Odyssey as indicating that the poet Homer knew of this as early as the 7th or 8th century BC. Strabo cited various phenomena observed at sea as suggesting that the Earth was spherical. He observed that elevated lights or areas of land were visible to sailors at greater distances than those less elevated.

Claudius Ptolemy (90–168 AD) lived in Alexandria, the centre of scholarship in the 2nd century. In the Almagest, which remained the standard work of astronomy for 1,400 years, he advanced many arguments for the spherical nature of the Earth. Among them was the observation that when a ship is sailing towards mountains, observers note these seem to rise from the sea, indicating that they were hidden by the curved surface of the sea.

>Prove to me the Earth is a sphere
tell me why i should "prove" it. assuming the earth is a sphere is incredibly useful because the math works out pretty nicely for a shitload of applications.

even if the earth were flat, the actually applicable empirical evidence would still suggest that using a spherical model is superior. you mistakenly think that science is the arbiter of absolute truth, when in fact, that is the domain of philosophy and religion.

stay BTFO tho.

Quote:

Why did sailors and ship builders need to invent the crow's nest at the top of their masts, or risk their lives climbing up into the rigging to get a better view of objects in the distance?

If Earth were flat, then sailors and ship builders would have never had a need to invent and use the "crow's nest" to allow them to see further over the horizon. On a flat ocean, there would be no advantage to going higher up to get a better view. You would be able to see just as far from the deck as you would at the top of the mast.

It is very unlikely that sailors and ship builders have been wrong and been building unnecessary and expensive features into their ships, for thousands of years, if there were no real advantage to it.

Unless the Earth is spheroid, there is no advantage to a ship having a crow's nest, and the need would never have arisen to invent them.

Therefor, for thousands of years, ships have been adapted to take the curvature of the earth into account, by adding a crow's nest to the top of the mast for distant observation. This is practical evidence that the Earth is in fact a spheroid. If it wasn't, the crows nest would never have been needed or invented.

The crow's nest exaggerates the movement of the ship on rough seas, and is not a good place to be in bad conditions. Masts have been known to snap off in rally bad storms too.

The purpose of the Crow's nest is to see further over the horizon to give you more time to find or avoid an enemy, or to see reefs and low lying islands before you run into them.

What s the scientific experiment that demonstrates and proves that a body of water, such as the ocean, can maintain a convex shape? Did the ancients have water to study? Yes. Did they have Google? No. Google up some proof of convex water for us. Why do you think Metabunk.org is using 2 dimensional copy pasta CGI towers to prove convex water? They trying to keep the fake ball Earth spinning. And if they re fake towers were really demonstrating what they claim, you can see the curvature near the ground but then the higher you go it s no longer observable?

Point out the 380+ foot apex in the middle of the same body of water Metabunk/Soundly claim is convex.
The bridge was built 15 feet off the water.
It s not there. Water finds and maintains a level surface.

If the ball Earth is <250000 miles in circumference it has to curve 8 inches times the distance nsquared in miles.

What makes you think that engineers are so incompetent that they would build a straight bridge on a curved surface?
Your argument is "look, this bridge looks straight so if the water was curved, it would lift" when the fact is that both the bridge and the water are equally curved, regardless of whether the curvature is 0 or not. I hope this shows you how flawed your logic is and that you abandon it.

You can clearly observe there is no 380 foot slope.
At just over 24 miles long it almost 1/1000 of the Baal Earth meme.
How many flat sections does it take to make a sphere?

Baal Earth is a meme. Old timey people did have aerial photography and this bridge being famous and as long as it is over flat water is the perfect example to prove that the real Earth is flat.
That s why they had to put a troll there with 2 dimensional CGI towers missing half of the structure, and have Metabunk use it, and then put him on Joe Rogan.

It s too easy to prove. You can see the bridge isn t curving downwards from a slope as high as Liberty Tower in New York City. They built it 15 feet of the water. If the real Earth was a sphere as big as we ve been told you d be able to see it in these images.

But the dimensions and math we have are for the Baal Earth meme.

I understand the math, but it assumes that the bridge is straight, and the bridge is just as curved as the surface of the water, well maybe not locally.

The Pythagorean formula doesn't apply to finding change in height over a curved surface. It tells you how to find lengths at one instant. The drop is not constant, so that very silly 8in/mile thing is just a confusion wrapped in words big enough to fool fools.

And you know it, troll.

>> No.9481485

>>9481466
It kinda does though. Let R be the radius of the earth and D be the distance on the tangent to the surface and h be the height over the surface, then Pythagoras says that
R^2+D^2=(R+h)^2=R^2+2Rh+h^2
D^2=2Rh+h^2
h=(-2R+sqrt{4R^2+4D^2})/2=sqrt{R^2+D^2}-R
So for D=38km and R=6371km we get
h=sqrt{6371^2+38^2}-6371~113m~343feet.
