Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

[Sure Shot]

bullshit. pix or it didn't happen.

Understood. Since it takes a telescope/camera combo, it would be shot through a telescope and the origin would be unverifiable. So, seeing for one's self would be the only true way to know, unless it was videotaped. Even then, image manipulation is near indistinguishable.

 

[Sure Shot]

A great example? Ever been to Antwerp, Belgium? I have. I grew up in Brussels. So tell us, from what distance can you see the steeple of the Notre Dame there? Or is this 'great example' of yours nonsense whispers?

Go to Belgium, take pics, and report back. Anything less is redundant.

You would likely need to be in a crow's nest with a looking glass or telescope.

That wouldn't help. Go to Belgium, climb to the top of the Atomium in Brussels, and look in all directions with or without a telescope. If you can see as far as Antwerp, I'm a talking monkey.

So absurd, and can only be suggested by someone who has never been to Belgium.

 

[reddan1981]

ever been on a boat, like, in the ocean?

i have...and yes, it's proven. i may be able to see 60 miles from grand father mountain, but i can only see 4 miles at sea level. geometry and trig helps with the rest.

and the earth is a fuck ton older than 6000 years old, btw.

Please provide evidence of curvature.

That is a completely different set of circumstances.

Of course it is.

Going there to disprove your theory is too inconvenient. Better to make silly assumptions based on conjecture and supposition.

More like, better to go off on a tangent then to face the facts. Can anyone say, Strawman argument.

You suggested the Notre Dame in Antwerp can be seen from France, not me.

I'm telling you that is isn't even possible to see it from Brussels (within the same country).

Where do you get your 'facts'?

hence geomety and trig.

nice try, but still a failure.

and wait a sec....

if there's a vanishing point, how the fuck do you see these things from hundreds of miles away?

bull.

shit.

You misunderstood. Ship captains have reported seeing the spire from 150 miles out at sea.

ship captains drink a lot of rum and do a lot of drugs.

or they're just completely full of bullshit.

Have you seen it, or are you satisfied with reporting other people's observations?

Get on a boat, approach the Belgian coastline towards Ostend, and when you you see the Notre Dame in Antwerp, record your GPS coordinates.

First though, you would have to be genuinely interested in facts rather than hearsay.

I use to think these were valid arguments on the flat earth debate. do some more research on conspiracy theories. Flat earth is pretty bull but there's other interesting "theories" out there.
