So, first on, we could tell him what the earth rotation is by the points where the sun is by our eyes. Second, some flat earther managed to do a really high fly and made a cam on board. Because he didn't see the earth curvitchure with his naked eyes. But you know that if you make an image with no curvitchure smaller there is still none and if you make a picture with a curvitchure smaller the curvitchure gets bigger. And so he accidently made the prove that the earth is round and he didn't even notice. But I think the other flat earthers will think that the images are fake, eventho they are by a flatearther. There are much more things you could list, but they will never accept them.

Nothing you say will help them. Their brain lacks the hardware capable of understanding this.

You have to understand how the flattard sees the world.
They have the concept of "everything falls 'down'", since as far as they've experienced, everything does indeed fall "down".

Therefore if the Earth was round, people would fall off the Earth.

Therefore the Earth cannot possibly be round. Since they've been to Australia and didn't fall off!

here's a simple experiment that casts doubt on gravity.

take 3 rooms, and 3 objects. a room with a vacuum, a room with 1 atmosphere of pressure at 14 PSI, and a room with several thousand atmopsheres of pressure at 200,000 PSI. the 3 objects are a ball, a ballon, and a feather.

in the vacuum, the ball, and the feather fall at the same rate, because there is no air resistance for the feather, and the balloon floats up.

in the 1 atmosphere room, the ball falls at the normal rate neglecting a little air resistance. the feather falls at a much loser rate because it is struggling to push away the air, and the balloon floats to the top of the room.

the 3rd room with 200,000 PSI of atmospheric pressure when you release the 3 objects none of them move. the ball and feather are not dense enough to push the air away so it can fall down. the balloon is not strong enough to push the air out of the way so it can float up

this can be observed in the ocean. when a whale dies 1 of 2 things will happen depending on how deep the whale is in the ocean at time of death. it will either float to the top, because the atmopshereic pressure is not strong enough to push the corpse down. or if it is deep enough, the atmospheric pressure is strong enough to push the corpse down at the bottom of the ocean.

this is why cannon balls can not sink in mercury. this is why wood floats on water. its a matter of density.

if gravity were a thing clouds would not be able to float, for they weight millions upon millions of pounds of water.

if i, without changing its weight, changed its atomic density to match a feather, it would be met with much air resistance, and fall at a much slower rate.

if i changed its atomic density, without changing its weight to the density of helium gas, it would float and rise with a vengeance.

that the earth is stationary, covered by a firmament. with the sun and moon revolving around it.

or that the earth is randomly flying through space, covered by an atmosphere that should be in all senses ripped off by the "vaccum" of space" following the sun at 66,000 miles per hour, while the sun is going a further 1 million miles per hour.

They tracked the motion of the stars. Here's how to make something that aligns with the sun with just a pole and paint:

1) Acquire patch of concrete with a pole in the middle.

2) Every day for one year, at noon, paint a circle on the ground at the tip of the pole's shadow.

3) You now have a map of where the sun will be at noon, relative to your pole and the ground.

4) Pick a day's circle, and run a string from the top of the pole to the circle.

5) Suspend rings around the string.

6) The sun will shine through those rings into the ground at noon once a year.

7) Repeat for other celestial bodies.

Homer, and the ancients weren't some backwards savages that couldn't figure out the earth wasn't a ball. there's been a deliberate attempt at active disinformation. Plato and Aristole, students of Pythagoras stated the earth was stationary, but a sphere. Homer thought the earth was a flat disc, and some other guy thought it was a flat square.

Pythagoras thought when you farted you lost part of your soul.

>4) Out of the Greeks you listed, one fathered modern philosophy(political, ethical and espistemogy), one is the father of modern mathematics(geometry and irrational numbers)

both of these points are invalid since they thought the earth was stationary. and none of them fathered anything. Geometry and irrational numbers were found in Egypt before Greece. Geometry is the bassis of the pyramids, and you can calculate irrational numbers like Pi off the dimensions of the pyramids.

greece wasn't the only place to come to the "conclusion" of philosophy, it was in Sumar, Babylon, India, and China long before the greeks rolled around.

this was "we wuz kangz" tier.

infact the mathematics of the Sumerians are honestly more fluid than any system devised today, the same can be said for Vedic math.

look, I really want you to take a step backwards. the Christian Doctrine, as well as every single religious doctrine states that the earth is stationary, covered by a firmament, fixed upon foundations, and is a circle.

and Augstine was a cultural marxist. there is nothing incredibly enlightening about his works, and I find it ironic he was part of the campaign against the gnostic christians despite the fact he quotes from the Gospel of Thomas.

Why are you guys so invested in the shape of the Earth? There is plenty of free Information in the marketplace of knowledge that could support a round Earth just as much as a flat Earth, just as much as a hypercube Earth, as a synthesis of the previous two and as antithesis to both, or even a torus Earth, a rhombus, a dodecahedron, whatever. It doesn't matter.

That clearly shows stright lines from the ISS from the Canadarm in front of the slight visible curvature of the Earth at that Field of view, and the arms are not bended in any way, the lens is not curved to exaggerate, how do they explain this?

This video was just from yesterdays CRS 11 capture aboard ISS and just another example of how absolutely retarded flat Earthers can be when the truth is so easily available and you just have to seek it out, but I bet they'll find some way to explain away the curvature visible in this video even still, even though the objects on the ISS that are intersecting Earth are not themselves curved they will find a convenient convoluted explanation to justify their delusions.

their newest focus is on "space is not real, any EVA footage of nasa/esa/roscosmos/jaxa/cnsa astronauts were done in the same swimming pools with "ultra clear water", the air bubbles prove it."

seriously.. they saw some underwater neutral buoyancy training session and took it as proof that this is the way they fake space walks, not realizing that each astronaut needs 2 divers assisting him by moving weights around his body whenever he changes orientation, to maintain neutral buoyancy. also they think there is a pool with "ultra clear water" which has no refractive properties at all.

they totally discard the fact, that an astronauts head appears to be tiny when watched through his visor underwater.
and the sheer impossibility to prevent any bubbling in a pool just reinforces their arguments, forgetting that the amount of bubble prevention they claim in EVA footage is not doable. they point at random debris which gets lose and call it an air bubble.

Yes, I can. All I have to do is look up when the ISS is overhead. It's clearly visible to the naked eye, but just in case you doubt me go buy a $30 pair of binoculars and look at it yourself next time it's over wherever you live and you'll clearly be able to see it's a space station and not an aeroplane.

As for "2,000 degrees celsius", dunno if you got the memo but space is both cold, and a vacuum. That's above the thermosphere.

And another thing - it actually doesn't matter what temperature space is. It could be 500 degrees, 2000 degrees, or -270 degrees. Because it's a vacuum, anything sitting in it stays the same temperature because of a lack of conduction for heat transfer. ;

You've been rused and abused.

Flat earth is an academic social experiment. The concept behind it is to reinforce rationality. The people who are devising those most complicated flat earth hypotheses are those who understand the necessity for science to not make assumptions on its previous beliefs, but to always be cross-evaluating new information.

If you come up with a flat earth or torus earth that people have to work very hard to disprove, then you're cultivating a scientific mindset in your targets. If you make one that nobody disproves, then you're bringing the fragility of our assumptions into question.

Yes, you can disprove it by just going up into space and seeing for yourself that it's round, but that's not the point. The point is to expose you to your own blind spots.

Stop treating flat earth as a group of people that need to be told off, and start treating it like something that can and should be qualitatively disproven. If you can't do that, then don't bother entering the discussion.

It's an important practice because this is a fairly sandboxy, safe case. It's easily verifiable. But we're entering an information age where we're carrying a lot of luggage from times past, and there will inevitably be alternate explanations for things that people will inevitably dismiss (e.g. supervoid coolspot on CMB vs statistical anomaly) and the fact that flat earth has any traction, even ironic, shows how prone we are to blind bias. Most of the flat earth posts are like /b/ level trolling, but there are some also that take considerable amounts of effort to evidence against.

If you consider this trolling then you don't understand science. There are scientific ways to discredit something, and there are social ways to dismiss something that you feel isn't worthy of a response. What you do in that regard says a lot about you.

There is nothing a total idiot cannot deny. We witness it with these threads every freakin' day.

Which is a pretty strong indication they're really just trolls.

The whole sun/moon model just suddenly got a LOT more complicated.

Come back when you can actually predict physical phenomenon observed in the real world.

When the Moon passes in front of the Sun in relation to an observer on the ground, the sun's light is blocked and therefore you can't see it.

Conversely, when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon it blocks the Sun's light from hitting the Moon, resulting in an eclipse. If Earth didn't have an atmosphere the moon would just go dark, but what happens instead is the air bends red light at the terminator where the sun is shining most obliquely through the atmosphere and illuminates the Moon briefly with a reddish glow.

Looking down lengthwise at a set of thousand kilometer long shadows in atmospheric haze and they'll appear to converge quickly, but know their actual length and use basic geometry and you'll find that they do in fact take ~93 million miles to converge.

Fuck off, the Sun is brighter than a welder's torch, it can shine through thin clouds.

Eratosthenes did not know light was refracted from 93 million miles away, therefore his measurements were wrong.

No, there is no spinning ball. That is the great illusion. Density, and electromagnetism are active measurable forces.

The reason for the ball is to make people think men can become like gods and conquer the heavens, and instills in them this ideology of constant progress which drives the capitalist.

The big G in freemasonry is the spell on the human mind on the way they concieve the world around them into a paradigm.


It's mostly /his/ who discovered most of the scientific revolution hidden information and discoveries while looking into antarctica expeditions

.you can't say it's only christfags, because even the sjw pope says its a ball because he's a Jesuit.

In 1500 post reformation ,Gravity replaces "god", or "I don't know" as an answer to difficult questions involving time and space that require astronomy or geometry to answer, which easily leads to theological education.

All the theories surrounding gravity will never prove Cavendish expirement or Newton's theories correct.

There is too much opposing evidence against the ball and the manner in which ball earthers debate flat earther's is simply appeals to authority and ad hominem,

It's worth looking to. But it's rough when you see cognitive dissonance at work trying to protect the mind of a person who was conditioned from birth to believe in Santa, tooth fairy, christopher columbus, and the globe.
