How can one disprove the flat-earth theory with irrefutable evidence?

I thought this was a joke at first, but after doing some research, it really got me scratching my head.

What is /sci/'s take on this?

[Anonymous No.8134778]

that's not how science works. you need to come with some evidence before you form a suggestion or question about it.
youtube is not a good resource for science. do better research.

>>8134771
Well you can show that it must have some magic properties by measure local gravity at the poles and at the equator. In a spherical earth this is easily explained by the non-vanishing quadruple moment in the gravitational potential. However in a flat earth it's just an artifact that can't be explained because they don't believe in gravity. Also this >>8134778

3 questions flatcucks can never answer :

1 ) How do you get the sun/moon cycle if the earth is flat ? Things never go below horizon on a flat surface, it only happens on a curved one

2 ) Where is the source of gravity ? Round earth successfully explains everything to be pulled down since the the central average mass is in the center of the earth. If earth was flat, the gravity would be at the center of the circle and everything would be pulled towards Antartica

3 ) Why has not one single person documented the edges of the earth with photo and video evidence ? Responding this with conspiracies will earn you more tinfoil points.

Come up with an answer to these you flatcucks. Step your game up already.

Find a lighthouse, measure its height, put it into this formula
f(x)=6371(acos((6371000)/(6371002))+acos((6371000)/(6371000+x)))
Which will give you the distance in km you need to travel away from the lighthouse, where x is the height of the lighthouse in meters.
Travel the distance and see the lighthouse disappear. Do it on water for best effect.
The distance for a 30m tall lighthouse is f(30)~=24,6km.

>1 ) How do you get the sun/moon cycle if the earth is flat ? Things never go below horizon on a flat surface, it only happens on a curved one

Flat Earthers generally assume the sky to be a dome that covers the entire Earth. Whether the Sun, the Moon or the stars are celestial objects in their own right or just projections on the dome is undetermined. The Sun works like a spotlight, illuminating only some parts of the disc at one time, and rotates around the globe on the equator.

>2 ) Where is the source of gravity ? Round earth successfully explains everything to be pulled down since the the central average mass is in the center of the earth. If earth was flat, the gravity would be at the center of the circle and everything would be pulled towards Antartica

Flat Earthers generally either reject the idea of gravity as a scientific constant outright, or that gravity as we understand it is incorrect. Instead, the forces that keep people on the ground are either electromagnetic or g-forces.

>3 ) Why has not one single person documented the edges of the earth with photo and video evidence ? Responding this with conspiracies will earn you more tinfoil points.

Are conspiracies really that far fetched? Not many people travel to end of the world in general. And those who do, can be easily suppressed. Why do governments want us to stay away from the poles?

1. The sun and the moon are small and close, both generate light and act like spotlights

If that model is correct how don't we see penguins in Europe?

Penguins mate all together at the south pole once a year, then they spread from South America to Australia.

If the model is a sphere those 2 places are pretty much at the same distance crib the point where penguins reproduce, but if it's flat they are at the opposite side of the world and the fastest way to go from Australia to South America is to swim near the north pole.

Yet nobody ever saw a penguin at the north pole

that means we're traveling relative and also accelerating at 1g, and when we jump we're accelerating faster than 1g. How come we don't fly out of earth's atmosphere anon.

1 ) Thats not what I asked, read the question again

2 ) What is the source of energy that accelerates the earth ? Also do you not believe in the speed of light either, since it is incompatible with your 1 g acceleration theory ?

3 ) Any proof of this ? Expedition teams that go to antartica make no such note of that.

>>8134859
>gravity does not exist. The earth is constantly accelerating at 1 g perpendicular to its plane
Wouldn't that mean we would have reached lightspeed by now? Also if we were moving upwards and I jumped I wouldn't go back to Earth, our velocities would combine (yes I know that's not how it works but even taking in count thhe constant, the difference is negligible, knock it off).

[Anonymous No.8134877]

>>8134869
>when we jump we're accelerating faster than 1g
correct

>How come we don't fly out of earth's atmosphere anon.
Wind resistance

>Also why do objects fall at different rates?
Wind resistance, which I might add is the same explanation for a flat or a round earth so that was a fairly pointless question

[Anonymous No.8134882]

>>8134877
If there is no gravity, object don't fall but instead wait for the earth to approach them meaning all objects (if the wait at the same altitude) should meet the earth at the same time. Wind resistance does not push objects that aren't moving.

Also why do objects like spears or sticks with very little fluid friction not escape the atmosphere when thrown upwards

Also it's called drag

>>8134877
But even if the Earth moved upwards at there would be something pulling us down while the Earth is picking us up or else we would just hover over the surface. You see, there is no explanation for the difference of weight of things following your hypothesis. Everything should weigh the same.

so now the hippo and feather never meet the earth but instead get pushed up like everything else including the atmosphere?

>>8134884
> I should have een clear, its the ground thats accelerating up and pushing everything else
That:s what I meant. If the earth is moving say 500m/s upwards and I jumped at 2m/s I'd be traveling at ~502m/s and air resistance wouldn't be able to stop me.

[Anonymous No.8134894]

does that mean ducks and other birds of flight run at over 1g to take off and fly?

[Anonymous No.8134897]

>>8134895
my guess is relative to the bottom to the earth and therefore the earth is traveling downwards relative to us. therefore we can only jump a few centimeters but the earth falling makes up the extra distance

[Anonymous No.8134898]

>>8134887
I dont understand what you're saying, the ground pushes on the air which pushes on anything suspended in the air, but if it cant push with enough force then any object in the will accelerate slower than the ground so the ground will catch up to it
