Lol such basic lack of knowledge, USA has produced the best scientists but I'm guessing you are not one of them. One of your great optics physicist calculated that if the Earth s radius was, I think, 6 times greater with exactly the same atmosphere we would be able to see all the way round. Do you know about fibre optics and do they work in your alternate reality?

I'll differ on one point .. the USA has imported the best scientists. The (latter portion of) 20th century of US techno-economic dominance was built upon being a more attractive place to do science and engineering. That isn't happening any more, alas.

I know I'm new here mate, but I don't quite get how anyone could possibly believe the earth is flat.

We have people floating around in circles right now on the International Space Station (ISS), whom regularly broadcast experiments and messages back to earth. Never have I ever heard one of them say "OMG GUYS THE EARTH IS FLAT" because wait for it... IT'S NOT FLAT! These people have first hand experience with going around the world multiple times a day. I would think, by now, that they would have discovered the earth is flat with the several thousand loops around the earth they make every year.

And that video someone posted, I believe it was posted by Mellowman2112 I just have to shake my head man... DID ANYONE EVER THINK OF THE PROPERTIES OF OPTICAL FRAYING AND DIFFUSION IN LENSES AND THE ATMOSPHERE?!?! INCLUDING OUR EYES! The Sun "appears" to have multiple rays NOT because it has multiple "spots of light emission" but because the light is scattered by the effects of the atmosphere, the glass on the camera's lenses, and wait for it, our OWN EYES!

Scattering need not be invoked. Observe a very, very narrow right triangle whose right-angle vertex is your eye, the (extremely) acute vertex is the sun, and the ray is the hypotenuse. You're looking straight down the long square leg. The sunbeam will look like a sun-centered but not you-centered ray. It is all geometry we have mastered for 3000 years and painters have used for about 400.

And it runs on unbent light.

I wonder about folks who are technically on the side of the round-earthers but then promote kludgy arguments. The Cat* asked an astute question.

I've flown on Concorde more times than you've attended Law lectures at university. Fact. Show me a photo of your 'degree' and I'll show you a dozen photos of me on Concorde.



This photo has been explained countless times. Funny how moronic flat Earthers all use the same singular example in an attempt to prove their point. One photo across one lake they struggle to understand and it's case closed for these clowns.



You are as dense as it gets, no doubt about it.

The photo of Chicago was taken at only 60 miles away and notice how the atmosphere starts to obscure things. If you add enough molecules together they even block out the sun at a certain distance.

What do you have to say about the mathematical and visual proof I provided other than changing the subject?

No no no and Fkin no, real simple, the atmosphere allows the light to refract

After hundreds of sightings worldwide that should not be visible the machine has come out with a one worder like gravity to deny the reality of what we are seeing. There is a war on for your mind and you are losing. The new one is ''refraction''

HAHAHAHA, you call me out for having a pesky BA degree then you make an incredible comment like this. What a fucking liar you are!! I know you cant help it, it is an innate characteristic of your people.

flying on a plane compared to you.. a bible bumping, gay.. but still a bible bumper somehow, hitler supporter holocaust denier.. saying you have a degree..
the plane is much more believable

i think you haven't offered a single iota of a shred of evidence, let alone proof.

watch some csi, review your tactics, and make sure your evidence is admissible in court. then we might get a guilty or not guilty verdict.

the jury is not convinced.

from the school of government and public policy:

The BA in Law differs markedly from existing ‘legal studies’ programs at other universities, which tend to approach the law not as a separate discipline but rather as a subset of another discipline in the humanities or social sciences. Legal studies programs are also primarily taught by faculty who do not possess law degrees or formal legal training

Surely you are sealioning then?
Heisenberg you are a very intelligent man, you know logical fallacies, so why can't you identify them in your own thinking?

You believe that you know this subject, so your arguments are from ........
You don't understand the opposing argument, so your arguments also come from.......
What is gaslighting?

Although it isn't hard to guess my position on the shape of the Earth, I've not actually offered any arguments. Yet, although you haven't even heard them, you already seem to know that they are full of logical fallacies. Clearly it doesn't matter to you what my arguments are and nothing I could say would make a difference, so why pretend?
