  1. 'The higher you go, the farther you see ' Just proved the earth is a globe!
    8
  2. That's nonsense. Planes fly by altitude, using a device called an altimeter.
    7
  3. Anyone who thinks nine trips to the moon, and six landings on the moon, all with different crews, is fake, is obviously not interested in facts about the earth being a globe.
    6
  4. Nowhere in the Bible, does it say the earth is flat.
    6
  5. No real Christian church supports or promotes a flat earth or dome overhead.

  7.  @RoyMH1960  Gravity is a scientific theory. A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and corroborated in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. What would you call your flat earth? A fantasy?

  8. We don't need NASA to tell us the earth is a globe. It's easily determined without any help from NASA. Don't be so simple minded.
    6
  9. "crazy ppl thought it was flat and tried to find the edge..." No, no flat earther has ever tried to find the edge.
    5
  10. You've never talked to any airline pilot about that nonexistent handbook. The document flat earthers reference, also mentions a rigid aircraft of constant mass. A plane that doesn't burn any fuel, or have any flaps or alerions, also to simplify calculations for creating an aircraft model.
    5
  11.  @goovitoo  Level doesn't mean flat. How do you determine that images are fake?
    5
  12.  @KrautDaddie  Buzz never said any such thing. Everything else you wrote is nonsense, as well. You seem to be the one lying.
    5
  13. Ridiculous. The Greeks knew the earth was a globe, over 2,000 years ago. Eratosthenes, for one. And you're delusional to think that six moon landings by six different crews, were fake.
    5
  14. Could be the dumbest post of the day!

  15. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. Even the hour hand on an analog clock, moves twice as fast as the earth. I'd hardly call that spinning. But you discovered that in your research, right?
    5
  16. No, flat earth wasn't taught until the 1920's . Airlines fly routes based on stops popular with travelers, and are money making hubs, not because it is the shortest distance. That's why they have stops in Europe instead of Africa.
    5
  17.  @larebear1902  You have it all backwards. Most of the pressure is at the bottom (at the earth's surface), so as the elevation rises towards the start of the vacuum, it becomes less and less, until the pressure gradient eventually makes it negligible. Mountain climbers ascending Mt. Everest confirm this. The higher in elevation you go, the thinner the atmosphere becomes, less air particles means less pressure, and when the pressure gradient reaches the vacuum level, even the vacuum has air particles. It becomes such a mix at that point, that there is no differential between air and vacuum. Keep moving away from the earth, and the vacuum counts fewer and fewer air particles in it, that it eventually becomes 99.99% vacuum. Even the moon has a few air particles moving around.
    5
  18. Level doesn't mean flat. It's called gravity. The earth is very, very, very big with a lot of mass, and a lot of mass creates gravity.
    5
  19. "Wet a ball and spin it. The water will fall away" If you are simulating that the ball is the earth, then try spinning it at the same rotational velocity as the earth. That's one rotation in a 24 hour period.
    5
  20. Level doesn't mean flat.
    5
  21. That's total nonsense. We have many, many images of earth before Photoshop was even invented.
    5
  22.  @boterlettersukkel  "I will respect somebody's religion" You're a liar. I've been here a long time, combating flat earthers, and you've never shown respect for anyone's religion. You hate anyone religious, as much as you hate flat earthers.
    5
  23.  @EZHostglo  Water doesn't flow uphill on a globe. Water behaves because of gravity. Gravity is the container, and no, level doesn't mean flat.

  24. Go watch a sunset someday, preferably over the ocean on a clear day. Then, realize what you are seeing is impossible if the earth was flat.

  25. Because it is safer to go around. Adverse weather, no where to refuel, no where to land in emergency.

  26. You are talking about Reference Publication 1207, that flat earthers claim is saying that the earth is flat and non rotating, when it doesn't say that at all. It’s a reference document for a computer aircraft flight simulation written in 1988. In order for the computer to crunch the numbers more quickly, they left out all factors which had a negligible effect. Such as the curve and rotation of the earth. If the earth was in fact flat and non-rotating, they wouldn’t have had to make note of this. But it is in fact spherical and rotating, so they included the fact that the computer program did not take these factors into account, so that everyone was on the same page. The equations that have been derived in the report are based on the assumption of a “rigid aircraft of constant mass,” which doesn't happen in reality, as aircraft burn fuel while they fly and change mass. Just like “flying in a stationary atmosphere,” which doesn’t happen in reality, as there is always wind. So, the equations in the report are based on the assumption of an ideal craft that burns no fuel, flying in air that has no wind, over a non-rotating flat earth.

  27. Congratulations! You just proved the earth a rotating globe.

  28. Ridiculous. Anyway, here is a partial list of some of the best. Not CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. All shot on celluloid film. AS17-148-22725 to 22751, that's 26 photos.

  29. Realize that the earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. If you looked at an analog clock, realize that the big hand of the clock would be moving twice as fast as the earth rotates. Still want to call that spinning?
    4
  30. Nonsense. It took me less than a minute to find a group of videos by one of the biggest flat earth scammers, there is.

  33. You're missing what this video is really about. Not about providing proof, but the psychology of why they believe the way they do.

  34. The next time you take a shower, do a few spins before drying off. Isn't it amazing how water is still adhering to your body, even underneath your arms and chin? Then, realize that your spins were slower than the earth spins!

  35.  @Globeisahoax  Where's the proof of all the militaries of the world patrolling Antarctica? Big zero from you!
    4
  36.  @Globeisahoax  I always thought it funny that millions of illegals can cross the southern border in the US, yet not one flat earther can make it to the edge of flat earth? Before you talk about the non-existent military patrols, that would be 24,000 miles of a flat earth edge to patrol, impossible!

  37.  @CHRIS50117  The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. And you still want to call that spinning?

  38.  @Annie-pd6xg  Of course. Retelling what flat earthers have taught you, is not research.

  39. Totally false. You know nothing about CGI.

  41.  @What-jj9ow  Do you even know why a level works? It's because of gravity!
    4
  42. "it was taught in schools" Says who? Flat earthers? You're probably talking about one obscure article in The Cook County Herald from April 21, 1900, that has nothing but very strange stories. Obviously written by a flat earther, talking about a teacher from a school in England, teaching that the earth is a globe.
    4
  43. Yes, firmament is real. Firmament means atmosphere, sky, universe, heavens. Certainly not dome.
    4
  44. If you were seriously interested, I could show you plenty, but you're not.
    4
  45. Zero evidence for a flat earth. Watch the sun throughout the course of a day, sunrise to sunset, that's all you need to prove the earth a globe, and flat earth a fraud.
    4
  46. He wasn't trying to prove it. He was explaining how screwed up in the head people become, when they imagine a flat earth.

  47. I think the most important point, is that you don't need any government to tell you the shape of the earth, which is a globe.
    4
  48. An earthquake is not constant motion, is it?
    4
  49. The earth is very, very, big. Too big for you to comprehend, obviously. From your miniscule vantage point of the Bonneville Salt Flats, just because it looks flat, doesn't mean it is.
    4
  50. "the Greeks proved nothing" Totally false! Eratosthenes proved it with a couple of sticks.
    4
  51. The water isn't flat either.
    4
  52. Totally false. How much of the bottom of the ship, didn't come back? Look at this and notice how all the zoom of a Nikon P1000 can't bring back the bottoms of the ships in the far distance, thus going over the curve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMRhTPMSfk
    4
  53. It doesn't say flat, or even reference flat. And I'm sure you don't think the earth is a square? The “four corners of the earth” is a reference to the earth’s farthest reaches, in the four directions: north, south, east, and west.
    4
  54.  @RoyMH1960  "The New World Order science is a joke" Gobbledygook nonsense.
    4
  55. You know nothing about how pilots fly planes. They don't fly by straight lines, they use a device you obviously have never heard of, an altimeter. You're making a fool out of yourself.
    4
  56.  @janetscott4679  Hopefully by now, you've realized that Vester's analogy to the sun setting is false. If you look at the sun setting on a clear day on the ocean, the sun never changes size, doesn't get smaller and smaller, doesn't become a tiny pinpoint of light that eventually vanishes. Instead, it rather abruptly goes over the horizon, at the same size it was overhead at noon. No binoculars or telescope can bring it back into view, either.
    4
  57. "make a model of your round earth spinning with water on it " Since the earth rotates only once in a 24 hour period, that's hardly moving, so the model would sit there, making that one rotation in 24 hours. Pretty boring don't you think? Why do you say spinning, when something is hardly moving? As to the water on the model, that wouldn't work, because the gravity of the earth would pull the water off.
    4
  58.  @andrewpattison3716  You misunderstood it. It was about the South Pole. He said: There is left in the world today, an area as big as the United States, that’s never been seen by a human being. And that’s beyond the pole, on the other side of the South Pole from Little America.” He never said anything about an ice wall or extra land. He was commenting about how large the area Antarctica was, that hadn't been explored by humans. Unexplored land is not the same as undiscovered land. Little America was his base of operations on Antarctica. What's really interesting is that flat earthers say the South Pole doesn't exist, because it doesn't fit into their flat earth fantasy.
    3
  59. Climbing Mount Everest is proof air doesn't need a physical container. Think about how air is less and less, the higher up you go. Also, the earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period, and you want to call that spinning?
    3
  60. "Christopher Columbus thought he was going to fall off the earth because Antarctica hadn’t been discovered or many other places. " More nonsense. Columbus knew the earth was a globe, he just thought it was much smaller than it is.

  61.  @EZHostglo  Do you have any nutritional insights for increasing brain activity and function? If you do, you should use them, as your intellectual capacity is severely lacking.
    3
  62.  @EZHostglo  For the third time, water doesn't flow upwards or uphill. The outside of a ball is not a container, but the earth is a massive globe. Mass creates gravity, and the earth is very, very, very big, so has a lot of mass to create that gravity. Ships don't go down or up, they travel in the water, wherever the water is going.
    3
  63. Silly girl, I said water doesn't flow uphill on a globe. Gravity is equal all around the globe. There is no upwards, upside down, or sideways on a globe. Gravity pulls everything, including water, to the center of the earth.
    3
  64.  @umahlekisa  Yet, the real fact is that the earth is a globe.
    3
  65.  @maurojose9929  You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Level is based on gravity. But let me guess, you think gravity is fake too, right? Spherical trigonometry is not used to measure curvature. The “eight inches per mile squared” is a rule of thumb to determine the drop height due to the curvature of the Earth. It does not account for the observer’s height and atmospheric refraction. And therefore, the rule is unsuitable to determine the amount of obstruction of a distant object due to Earth’s curvature. Only flat earthers use the 8" per mile squared, because they are ignorant. Railroads have curved or straight rails, depending on the terrain, it's not that hard to figure out. Earth curvature isn't taken into consideration at all. The reason why the Chinese bridge curvature is insignificant, is because you build the bridge from pier to pier, and they aren't that far apart. https://flatearth.ws/8-inches-per-mile
    3
  66.  @rayburnyarborough4695  There isn't anything Biblical about flat earth. There isn't one verse in the Bible that says the earth is flat. In fact, not one real Christian church supports or promotes a flat earth and dome. Out of the thousands of Christians I have met, only two were flat earthers. However, they believed in every cockamamie conspiracy theory there is, so it was no wonder to know that they were flat earthers too. It's funny how you mention the Gleason map, which is a projection of the earth as globe. Flat earthers can't even come up with a map of their own, instead using a globe based map. That surely doesn't say much positive about flat earthers, right? Go to the beach someday, over an open ocean. Watch the sun thoughout the course of a day, including sunset. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat.
    3
  67. "I am standing is a flat plane for as far as I can see logically anywhere I am is flat." Another one, who can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. I guess you figure that if you can't see curvature dramatically dropping all around you, that means it must be flat?
    3
  68.  @paulorobertos123  Why don't you look at the experiments that well known flat earthers Jeran Campanella and Bob Knodle did with high powered ring lasers? They were trying to prove that the earth was flat, but instead had a big oops moment, when they found that they had proved the earth a globe instead!
    3
  69. The Bible says nothing about the earth being flat, or that there is an enormous ice wall. You can't quote a verse that says that. You are also misinterpreting Psalm 93:1. I suggest you actually try to understand it, instead of picking out one word and thinking it means something else. It says nothing about the physical movement or rotation of the earth, but rather that God is the power and majesty.
    3
  70. "we are surround by a giant ice wall that can't be seen no where else other than in the artic" Yet, no flat earther has ever been there. Flat earthers claim that is if forbidden to go there, based on the Antarctic Treaty, even though it doesn't say any such thing. So, since it has never been seen by any flat earther, then maybe it doesn't exist.
    3
  71. Learn what level means, before you call it flat.
    3
  72.  @thundergun933  Planes don't fly by angles, they fly by altitude. Altitude is based from sea level, and sea level conforms to the shape of the earth. That's why level is not the same as flat.
    3
  73. "Look at the p900 footage of ships 'going over the horizon'" That's a load of nonsense! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKEpL_CbVHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMRhTPMSfk
    3
  74. Do people on the bottom side of the planet stand upside down? No, everywhere you are standing is right side up. It's because of gravity.
    3
  75.  @mr.tonyshiphopschool266  There is nothing in the Bible about flat earth. If you misinterpret the Bible, that's your fallacy. The fact is, no real Christian church supports or promotes a flat earth or dome overhead.
    3
  76. No. Just look at Mr. Chainsaw below.
    3
  77. You don't need any government, to know the earth is a globe.
    3
  78. Admiral Byrd was no flat earther.
    3
  79. None of the flat earth arguments are compelling, and any testing proves them wrong. Just watch the sun throughout the course of a day, including sunset. That alone proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat. Spreading nonsense should be ridiculed. You really think your flat earth leaders are honest?
    3
  80.  @Globeisahoax  I've seen the flat earth theory of the sun going around in a big circle.There are a few flaws with it though. Number one, is that the sun would not maintain the same size throughout a day. The sun would be closer, then farther away, which would cause it to get bigger, then smaller. But of course, in observable reality, that doesn't happen, as the sun is always the same size thoughout the course of a day. Another problem is that the sun going in a big circle on your flat earth, would always be visible, whether night or day. I know, you will liken it to a flashlight, just lighting a small portion of the earth at a time, but a flashlight can be seen at great distance, even in darkness. Yet, in observable reality, we don't see that tiny pinpoint of light from the sun in darkness, do we? The sun we see everyday, works the way we see it, only if the earth is a globe. Impossible on a flat earth.

  81.  @truelevelbeliever1064  The only ones experiencing "cognitive dissonance" are conspiracy theorists, like yourself. Look at all the nonsense you are spewing, yet you foolishly think you are espousing truth.

  82. There are plenty if earth images, not CGI. Why spread that lie?
    3
  83. It doesn't. Doesn't say the earth is flat, either.
    3
  84. The iconic photos Earthrise (1968) and ORIGINAL Blue Marble (1972) were neither CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. They were shot on celluloid film. This is an indisputable fact.

  85.  @Allstarsga  A butterfly sticks to the ground too, when not flying, because of gravity.

  86. Learn something about photography before you make foolish claims.

  87. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's hardly moving, yet you want to call that spinning?
    3
  88.  @mikepiperata1502  "you're seeing the sun move across the horizon." Yet the sun never changes size thoughout the day, does it? For your model to work, the sun would start out as a tiny dot, get bigger and bigger until it's at its maximum size at mid day overhead, then get smaller and smaller until becoming just a tiny dot at sunset. You should watch a sunset someday, preferably over an open ocean on a clear day. You won't see the sun change size thoughout the day or get smaller and smaller until just a tiny dot. That alone disproves your flat earth.
    3
  89. Maybe you can find some documents by Eratosthenes, from back in 200 BC. Still pretty accurate to this day, despite rudimentary tools of his day.
    3
  90. "All land is plotted in sections with no consideration to changes in altitude or “curvature”." Land plotted in sections with no consideration to curvature, is because the plots are so small that the curvature is too insignificant to measure. You didn't know that the earth is very big?
    3
  91. Yes, please explain how the horizon rises to eye level? Is there a big jack on the edge of the horizon, raising it up?
    3
  92. Of course the oceans aren't upside down, as there is no upside down on a globe earth. Everywhere you are on a globe earth, is right side up. And no, the earth doesn't spin at 1000mph, it makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period.
    3
  93. Interesting, for all your few observations, you never tried watching the sun throughout the course of a day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat.
    3
  94. Since firmament means universe, heavens, space, sky, and even atmosphere, it's true. There is nothing in the Bible that says dome or flat earth.

  95.  @DanielMartinez-kt9zy  "In millions of millions of years never crashed against a huge asteroid?" Asteroids aren't sitting stationary, so that couldn't happen. All objects in the universe move in a mostly uniform manner.

  96. Admiral Byrd didn’t find any extra land beyond Antarctica. He was talking about the area of Antarctica beyond the South Pole, that hadn’t been explored. Explored doesn’t mean discovered.

  97. False. Dome is a geological formation, but nothing to do with a flat earth. Like, Half Dome at Yosemite. Encyclopedia Britannica is referring to Dome Argus, 13,000 feet high, that is about 750 miles inland, on the continent of Antarctica.

  102. The level doesn't prove anything, not that the earth is a globe or flat. I think it was more of a parody than anything, since flat earthers wrongly think that level equals flat.

  109. How do you fly under the Earth, as a globe? It's equal, all the way around.
    3
  110.  @xrplove9955  "the horizon looks flat there!" It looks flat because the earth is much bigger than you think, and your eyes can't perceive the miniscule curvature over such a small distance. You may think that you are looking at a large area, but you are not, in comparison to the huge size of the earth.

  114.  @rymillerjr50  "the Astronauts who admits NASA is a fraud" False. No astronauts have admitted that. "Buzz Aldrin "What everyone saw in 69 was an illusion." False. He was referring to an animation of the moon landing. Conan Obrien was foolishly wrong. "Admiral Byrd" Admiral Byrd was no flat earther, and never said he saw extra land or an ice wall. You should pay attention to what he really said. "NASA's Astronauts admit thry can't leave the Stratosphere" False. Even NASA engineer Kelly Smith won't admit to that. "Even NASA declassified documents stating the surface of Earth is flat" False. They aren't declassified or classified, and you should try to read and comprehend what they really say.

  115. "There is no observable proof of a spinning globe." Ever heard of sunrise or sunset?

  120. "That is absolutely impossible if the earth is traveling around 1000 mph in the eastward direction." You forgot the most important thing in you your "start with the basics". The atmosphere is part of the earth, and travels with the earth's rotation. Planes need air to fly, right? Why didn't you know that? Also, stating that the earth spins at 1000mph is dishonest. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. Why call that spinning? Is it because flat earthers like to quote big numbers, which they do? You should be referring to rotational velocity, not mph. Have you ever heard of a combustion engine's rpms listed as mph?

  121. Columbus, who knew the earth a globe, sailed in the opposite different to find the Indies. He grossly miscalculated the distance, and ran into the Americas instead. If he had reached the Indies, you could say that the world had been circumnavigated. Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the world in one voyage.

  122. You'd feel the wind resistance and the bounciness of the train, but not the constant speed. Ever been inside an airplane that's cruising at a constant 500mph? You don't feel that speed either. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's slower than watching paint dry. Why do you think that is fast? If you look at the hour hand of an analog clock, realize that it is moving twice as fast as the earth rotates. Also, realize that the atmosphere of the earth is part of the earth, and moves with the earth's rotation.

  124. It isn't about religion, dogma, prejudice since birth, or what you have been told. While Frankie is an atheist, I'm a Christian who believes in a globe earth. All you need is a little understanding of basic science and common sense. The easiest way to prove a globe earth is look at sunrise and sunset. The reason we have timezones is because of the globe. While it is nighttime in China, it is daylight in New York City. This is impossible on a flat earth. On a flat earth, you would be able to see the sun over the entire earth, or none of the earth. There is no way for the sun to shine on only part of a flat earth.
    3
  125. What a load of nonsense! All you have to do to prove the earth a globe, is to watch a sunset over the ocean on a clear day.
    3
  126. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. Why do you think that is somehow, fast? If you stood on the moon looking back at the earth, you would think it wasn't moving, though it was very slowly. No way you would think things would be flying off.

  127. The earth is very big. I mean, very big. You are obviously blind about that little fact.

  128. The planet isn't 70% water. The surface area of the earth is 70% water, compared to the coverage of land mass. Do you realize that if the earth was the size of a basketball, the average depth of the vast oceans would only be less than a quarter of a milimeter in depth? Do you know what a milimeter is? Imagine a quarter of a milimeter! Wow, that's not much water is it? The reason why that thin layer of water finds level, is because of gravity. Of course, level doesn't equal flat.

  129.  @carlosrosado5769  You think NASA is the only space agency in the world, and that no one can determine the earth is a globe, without NASA telling them?
    3
  130.  @GeorgeJettson-u2y  "That surface when at rest will be perfectly level." Yes, but level doesn't mean flat. Level works because of gravity, pulling everything to the center of the earth. That's why all water is curved.

  142. “there should be more water towards the end of the canal system if the earth is round.” That’s hilarious! Sorry, but we believe in gravity, and with gravity, there is no top, bottom, or sideways on the globe earth. Nor flat water, either.
    3
  143. It's called gravity. Level doesn't mean flat, and level is because of gravity. You don't need anyone to tell you the earth is a globe, as anyone with a brain can figure it out on their own,. Like, watch the sun throughout the course of a day, including sunset, preferably over an open ocean. Also, laughable to call all pictures of a globe earth CGI. I can point you to many that were taken before even the most crude CGI was invented.
    3
  144. The iconic photos Earthrise (1968) and original Blue Marble (1972), are neither CGI, Photoshopped, or composite, so they have to be real. Just because you want to believe that everything from NASA is fake, doesn't change that. Look up the Russian weather satellite, called Elektro-L No. 1, and the images from it of the earth as a globe. Or, does everything from Russia have to be fake too?

  149. You're an ignorant clown! First of all, you'd have to spin the tennis ball at the same rate as earth, one rotation in a 24 hour period. Next time, stand there for 24 hours while you are rotating that tennis ball. Also, realize that earth's gravity overrides the water on your tennis ball, bringing the water to the earth.
    3
  150. Like Zrips says, you can observe the sun to prove the earth is a globe. Observe it throughout the course of a day, sunrise, mid day overhead, and sunset, and notice how it never changes size throughout the day. Impossible on a flat earth.
    3
  151. Why do you say the earth is spinning, when it makes only one measly rotation in a 24 hour period? Flat earthers must be indoctrinating you with stupid nonsense.

  152.  @daveclark4377  The day/night cycle is from a giant lamp shade on the sun, blocking light from the sides, so it doesn't really set. That's the only way that silly model can work.

  153. "Planes do not correct for the curve at all." Basically right! But why would they, since they have an altimeter to maintain altitude? Not because the earth is flat, which it isn't.
    3
  154.  @albabrunty3549  "Nasa admits earth pictures are composites so their isn't a real earth pic from space" A lot of nonsense there, you're obviously into your conspiracy theories. You realize composites are real pictures, right? The Apollo pictures are just fine to prove the earth is a globe, and not composites. Dubay's 200 proofs have been widely debunked. Watching the movement of the sun throughout the course of a day proves the earth is rotating globe, and disproves the flat earth theory of a circling sun.

  155.  @Easyork  "For the transparent moon i can't rely explain how." Of course you can't, because it isn't.

  156. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's slow as can be, so I wouldn't call that spinning. Also, the atmosphere is part of the earth, and thus moves with the earth while it rotates. Thats why the clouds stay so perfect.

  159.  @yestervue4697  If the sun actually appeared to get smaller and smaller, before it vanished, you might have a point, but it doesn't! My eyes have looked at plenty of sunsets on a clear day over the ocean, and the sun always maintains the same size, before obviously going over the horizon.
    3
  160. Firmament means universe, not an impenetrable hard dome, and there is nothing in the Bible that says otherwise. Level doesn't mean flat, and level exists because of gravity. That's why they don't call it SEA FLAT. Admiral Byrd would disagree with you on Antarctica, as he explored it many times. They have regular yacht races around Antarctica, and you can even book a cruise to Antarctica. You don't know anything about airplanes and pilots either. Do so real research.
    3
  161. Obviously, you don't know anything about how planes navigate. Ever heard of an altimeter, a plane's most important instrument gauge? Planes fly by altitude, not by flying straight and then dipping. It's not that complicated. Your car analogy is ridiculous. You make it sound like a car has special equipment to point downward, whenever it comes to the top of a hill.
    3
  162. "Flat earth was in schools up to the eRLY 1900S," False, and you have zero proof. Even an obscure article in the Cook County Herald, written by a flat earther talking about one school in England teaching about the earth as a globe, isn't proof. And yes, the moon landings were real.
    3
  163. Water finds its level, because of gravity. Level doesn’t mean flat. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period, so don’t know why you use the term spinning. As far as speed, that’s as slow as can be. Even the hour hand of an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates.
    3
  164. Admiral Richard Byrd never said that. He was no flat earther, either.

  165.  @Globeisahoax  Your model is false, because you would still see the sun in darkness. Just like you can still see a flashlight or spotlight off in the distance, while standing in darkness.

  168. "the Creator tells us it's flat" Doesn't say that at all. The Bible certainly doesn't say anything about the earth being flat. As to firmament, maybe you should learn what it really means, instead of going by flat earther misinterpretations trying to fit their flat earth fantasy.
    2
  169.  @budimansinaga7706  And why should you feel the earth spinning? The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. You think that is fast? Try watching the big hand on a analog clock. It's moving, but can you see it move? Not only that, it's moving at twice the speed that the earth is spinning.
    2
  170.  @maurojose9929  Water always finds its level is a stupid Eric Dubay line. Level is not the same thing as flat. Your formula of 8" squared is for measuring a parabola. It's never been used to measure the circumference of a globe. Since the earth is so big, the curvature of the China bridge is insignificant. Railroads have plenty of curved rails, since they follow the terrain of the earth. They would never care about curvature of the earth.

  174.  @jamesbuah6041  That press conference wasn't until a few weeks after their return. After being locked up in quarantine all that time, after being asked the same questions over and over during the quarantine, after being away from their families all that time, after a grueling mission to the moon, after years of training doing the same things over and over, after years of being a military pilot, test pilot, then astronaut. The astronauts weren't private explorers seeking fame and fortune, they were doing a job they were paid and trained to do, nothing much more to them than that.

  175. What math are you using? 8" per mile squared is flat earthers math, not the correct math to determine curvature.
    2
  176. You never thought that maybe the reason why Antarctica is so unknown and little traveled, is perhaps because it is the harshest and coldest environment there is on Earth? Unless you were a scientist or researcher, no one in their right mind would want to go there.

  180.  @yestervue4697  Flat earth calculation are used to simplify equations for aircraft flights at Mach 3 or less. Flat earth calculations do not apply to aircraft flying faster than Mach 3, space craft or missiles. “The observant reader will notice that the aircraft equations of motion were calculated assuming a flat Earth and that we here assume the development frame was the North-East-Down frame. This implies necessarily that earth rotation and the variation of the gravity vector with position over the earth were ignored in developing the aircraft equations of motion. This simplification limits our mathematical model to the flight of aircraft only. The model will not properly handle the flight of sub-orbital craft and spacecraft such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, satellites, or the space shuttle. The model is adequate for all vehicles traveling under Mach 3.”

  181.  @robdavidson2569  The UN flag is the Gleason map, which is a projection of the earth as a globe. Which makes it funny how flat earthers like to point to it as a flat earth map.
    2
  182.  @koltoncrane3099  The UN doesn't have a map, they have a logo. Easier to have a 2D representation of the globe, rather than hanging a 3d globe.

  183. Planes don't fly by straight lines. They don't need to continually dip the nose of a plane, while flying over a globe earth. Why is it that only flat earthers think that pilots must fly planes by means of a straight line?

  184. Search for March to the Moon, then click on the image galleries. All raw pictures, even all the blurry and poorly shot pictures. All shot on celluloid film, so not CGI or Photoshopped.

  185.  @daviddegrote-ms8td  Firmament doesn't mean dome, only flat earthers say that. It translates to expanse, expanse of the universe. Other meanings are the sky, the heavens, the atmosphere above. But never a flat earth with dome. There isn't one real Christian church that supports or promotes a flat earth and dome.

    2
  190.  @mr.tonyshiphopschool266  Anyone with a brain would know you don't fly a plane, adjusting for any curve, and that's on a globe earth. Pilots fly by altitude, not by the dumb flat earth nonsense of dipping the nose of the plane.

  191.  @Globeisahoax  Funny how you never talk about what a fraud Kangen water is?
    2
  192.  @krazicjaxxon880  You're confusing horizontal with horizon. Horizontal is like a tool level, equidistant to the center of the earth. It can be a straight line like a tool level. The horizon is the farthest edge of the earth you can see, from where you are standing. The horizon matches the curvature of the earth. The horizon is also equidistant to the center of the earth.
    2
  193.  @krazicjaxxon880  Did you ignore my above answer to you? Level is because of gravity. Water is level because of gravity. So naturally, water follows the shape of the earth.

  194.  @aoyamiuriko5059  Sorry, but the Bible doesn't say the the earth is flat or with a dome. Just because flat earthers want to misinterpret the Bible, doesn't make it so.

  195. " if I went on a ride I could sure feel the movement" Go to a neighborhood park and sit on a merry-go-round. Have someone spin you around, but it can only be as fast as the earth rotates. One rotation in a 24 hour period.
    2
  196. Some surveyors do, because over relatively short distances, the curvature is so insignificant that it can be ignored. One big problem you and other flat earthers have is that you can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. That's why you can't easily see curvature around you.
    2
  197. Not one country in the world supports flat earth, yet the UN, which is a collection of all the same countries of the world does? How ridiculous does that sound? The UN logo is not a flat earth map, but the Gleason map, which is a projection of the spherical earth. It's obvious by how distorted the continents look. Flat earthers can't even come up with a workable map, that shows accurate distances between cities.

  201.  @RobbiePNoCap  "The sun doesn't set. It moves away from your perspective field of view." Observable reality proves otherwise.
    2
  202.  @TheHammer710  "Observing the sun move further away from you isn't proof of a globe." No, that would be proof of flat earth. Except, watching the sun throughout the course of a day shows that the sun isn't moving closer or farther away from you. Thus, the earth can not be flat.
    2
  203.  @TheHammer710  Sure it does, and has nothing to do with perspective. It also disproves a flat earth.
    2
  204. You think Eric Dubay is a genius, but he is really just a typical conning huckster. His 200 proofs are a joke. Ask yourself, what does "the horizon always rises to eye level" even mean? Is someone or something actually jacking up the edge of the earth, to make it rise to your eye level?

  206. "We have many qualified scientists that agree with us." Please enlighten us with some of them, and their qualifications?

  207.  @CBALLEN  That's not globe math, that's flat earther math. Only flat earthers use it, so they can ignore the elevation of the viewer and the line of sight angle, and then come up with totally inaccurate results. Then, they think their inaccurate results disproves a globe earth, when in reality it just proves their ignorance of reality.

  208. Nobody is hiding anything at the South Pole. Flat earthers say the South Pole doesn't even exist, so why would you believe them saying nobody is allowed there?

  212.  @Gimo76  You're delusional. There are no flat earth verses in the Bible. In fact, if you had really read the Bible, you would know that the Book of Enoch is not even in the Bible. Your sun or moon in the clouds at 39,000 feet is nonsense. Explain this: how can it be nighttime in China, while it is daylight in New York City? Impossible on a flat earth. On a flat earth, the entire earth would have to be in daylight at the same absolute time. But it's not, thus the reason we have timezones on globe earth.
    2
  213.  @Gimo76  "8” per square mile for the curve to show" I know flat earthers love this formula, and they parrot it all the time. However, it is totally false. https://flatearth.ws/8-inches-per-mile

  214.  @matthewlaxson1633  "it’s the sun going farther away and going beyond our vision." Then why don't we see that in reality? The sun getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller, until it is finally just a tiny pinpoint of light, way off in the distance? In reality, we see the sun maintaining the same size throughout the day, until it rather abruptly goes over the horizon. How can the sun keep the same size throughout the day, if it is moving away from our scope of vision?
    2
  215. If you took a globe, like you have seen in school, and drew a straight line like that, yes it makes perfect sense. Realize that it's a hypothetical, though. Of course, to actually do it in reality it isn't practical, as there are too many obstacles in the way.
    2
  216. "Every bible says the earth is flat." That's a lie!
    2
  217. You have no idea what you are talking about. You don't think a jet can slow down to land on an aircraft carrier? Where did you come up with that nonsense? Commercial planes fly by altitude, and don't need to compensate due to curvature or flatness. Are you one of those who thinks a plane would have to dip it's nose if flying above a globe? That just shows stupidity. You don't understand how huge the earth really is, so in most cases curvature is inconsequential to engineers. Your thoughts about how trains operate are laughable, you obviously don't know much about them. No, there is no military presence in Antarctica. One of the main purposes of the Antarctic Treaty was to keep military out. You should try reading the treaty. You don't know much about the UN flag either. There isn't one country in the world that supports flat earth, but the UN does, which is made up of all the same countries? How ridiculous does that sound? The UN logo is based on the Gleason map, which isn't a flat earth map, but a projection of the spherical earth!

  218.  @robertpunu7624  All the ships are basically the same. You obviously don't know any thing about modern cargo ships. How do you think they load cargo on and off the ships without the built-in cranes? Even the ships in the foreground are missing part of the hull, due to the curve of the earth.
    2
  219. It's funny how being able to see the tops of Chicago skyscrapers at distance, is proof of flat earth. If the earth really was flat, you should be able see from the base to the tops. Look at this, where the bottoms of the ships in the distance have disappeared. It's because of going over the curve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMRhTPMSfk

  222. "a spinning spherical globe spinning at 1,000 mph?" Why do you keep saying spinning? One measly rotation in a 24 hour period, hardly qualifies as spinning.
    2
  223.  @fanbutton5360  You're such a liar. Notice how the sun maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat. On the usual flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle above the earth, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, thus, the earth is a rotating globe orbiting the sun.
    2
  224. Of course it's an exaggerated parody, but flat earthers think like that when trying to ridicule a globe earth. They think that curvature of the earth should be easily seen over small areas, and think pilots fly planes in straight lines. Thus, the plane would fly off into space from that straight line, if flying over a globe.

  225. Not once, does the Bible say the earth is flat.

  226. Admiral Byrd didn't say anything about more land, than there was. He wasn't a flat earther, either.

  227.  @GaryHabsburg  Why do you need a video? Why can't you go outside on a clear day and observe the sunrise, the sun overhead at mid day, and sunset? That alone will prove a globe earth, and disprove a flat earth.

  229. "in many aviation documents, the earth is said to a flat, stationary, and non-rotating plane. No, NASA Reference Document 1207 doesn't say that at all, it says assume it is, for modeling purposes. It also mentions a rigid aircraft of constant mass. Is there such a plane, except for purposes of the model?

  230.  @Globeisahoax  "OK with millions of illegals entering the country, ready to create chaos" No, I don't think that is OK, but you would think that there would be at least one flat earther who could sneak to the edge of flat earth. Yet, has never happened. Are flat earthers really that gutless and chicken to even try? It's obvious they are, perhaps so afraid that they will find out that their flat earth fantasy is nothing but a fraud, so instead they spend all day on Youtube spreading their nonsense. Kind of like you do?

Firmament means the expanse of the universe, the heavens, the sky, and sometimes our atmosphere, but never a flat earth and impenetrable dome. The Bible is filled with metaphors, hyperbole, similes, poetic verse, figures of speech and parables. Why don't you know that? The "earth has a foundation" is a reference to God is in control, and holds the power over the earth. There isn't one real Christian church that supports or promotes a flat earth and dome. Also, rockets curve because they are going into orbit. Talking about the Bermuda Triangle just shows your silly ignorance about the real world. 1000mph at the equator shows how you can't comprehend how huge the earth is. That's still only one rotation in a 24 hour period. The hour hand on an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates.
    2
  233.  @jaydunn3251  "If we spin that fast" The earth makes one rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. Do you know what an analog clock is? If you have one, realize that the hour hand moves twice as fast as the earth does. It has to go around twice, to match the earth's rotation. If you stood at the back of a room, at some distance from an analog clock, would you really say the hour hand was moving really fast or really slow? If you could stand out in space at some distance from the earth, and observe the earth "spinning", making that one measly rotation in a 24 hour period, would you really want to call that fast?

  234. Of course they do, why do you think they have those big engines to get off the ground?

  235. Only flat earthers say there is an ice wall, but they are wrong. Flat earthers are wrong about everything.

  236. Because of gravity, up is always away from the earth, down is to the earth. Wherever you are, is right side up.
    2
  237.  @trendynow1369  "Maybe you should brush up on perspective" If you knew anything about perspective, you would know that it doesn't hide the bottom of a boat either. Perspective means objects appear smaller, the farther out they are, not cause objects to disappear.
    2
  238.  @trendynow1369  Refraction doesn't hide the bottom of a boat. No globe earther has ever said that.

  239. The iconic photos Earthrise (1968) and ORIGINAL Blue Marble (1972) were neither CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. They were shot on celluloid film, from a camera in space. This is a fact, not in dispute.

  240. Since we know it can't be density or buoyancy, gravity makes the most sense.

    2
  242.  @nimblejack  Did you not see my post above? Here, I'll repeat it. Because you have no idea what a flight model is. NASA Reference Publication 1207: Derivation and Definition of a Linear Aircraft Model, is a prime example of how flat earthers like yourself, cherry pick a couple words to try and say that NASA and the military state that the earth is flat and motionless. This document and others like it, don't say that at all. 1207 is a reference document for a computer aircraft flight simulation model written in 1988. In order for the computer to crunch the numbers more efficiently, they left out all factors which had a negligible effect on the model. Such as the curvature and rotation of the earth. If the earth was in fact flat and non-rotating, they wouldn’t have had to make note of this. But it is in fact spherical and rotating, so they included the fact that the computer program did not take these factors into account, because they are insignificant to the model. Notice how the document also states that the equations that have been derived based on the assumption of a “rigid aircraft of constant mass.” Which doesn't happen in reality either, as aircraft have flaps and ailerons, and burn fuel while they fly thus changing mass. Just like “flying in a stationary atmosphere,” which doesn’t happen in reality, as there is always wind. So, the equations are based on the assumption of an ideal craft that has no flaps to change position, burns no fuel, flying in air that has no wind, over a non-rotating flat earth.
    2
  243. Nonsense! NASA isn't Hebrew for anything. NASA is an acronym, nothing else, nothing more. The Bible says nothing about the earth being flat. If you want to misinterpret the Bible to support flat earth, then you are a heretic. The fact is, no real church supports a flat earth or dome overhead.
    2
  244.  @stevewilliams3338  "many of them are fraudulent or CGI" Yet, you have no proof of that, right? Iconic photos Earthrise (1968), original Blue Marble (1972), are not CGI, Photoshopped, or composite, so they must be real.

  245.  @jimsoncamo4874  If the earth was the size of a basketball, all the vast deep oceans of the earth would only be a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine how thin a layer of water would be at only a quarter of a millimeter. In that context, it doesn't seem like that much water being held to the earth by gravity, does it?
    2
  246. That can only happen if the ship has not gone over the horizon. Once the ship starts to go over the horizon, the bottom of the ship starts to disappear, and no amount of zoom or optic, can bring back that missing bottom of the ship.
    2
  247. They call it sea level, not sea flat, because level doesn't equal flat and level is determined by gravity.
    2
  248. Of course, you've never done it to prove it.

  250. Learn how planes fly, before making silly comments. You really think a plane flies via straight lines? Probably also think level equals flat?

  251. It's called gravity. There is no upsidedown. Anywhere you are on a globe earth, is right side up.
    2
  252. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. If you look at the big hand of an analog clock, the big hand is moving twice as fast as the earth rotates. With that in mind, do you really think you would notice the earth rotating beneath you, while in an airplane?

  255.  @vahagnmelikyan2906  If you looked at the sun all day long, why didn't you notice that it doesn't change size at all during the day, thus proving the earth is a rotating globe and not flat. To prove the earth a globe, all you have to do is observe the sun, throughout the course of a day. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe. On your flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Even in darkness, that tiny little pinpoint of light, would still be visible. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, even at sunset. Thus, the earth is a rotating globe.
    2
  256.  @jennaluvsflatearth8303  "No globe deniers say there is no firmament." False, since firmament is defined as the sky, the expanse of the universe, the heavens. Firmament has never meant impenetrable dome over a flat earth. Only flat earthers made up that nonsense. You may think you know the Bible, but you certainly don't know what it means.

  257.  @Globeisahoax  "what gravity got to do with a bottom of the ball." It means no bottom. Or, up, sideways, etc.

  258.  @REALStinkyCash  To prove the earth a rotating globe, all you have to do is observe the sun, throughout the course of a day, preferably over an open ocean on a clear day. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe. On your flat earth model of a local sun going around in a circle, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset.

  259. Admiral Byrd never said there was more land. He was amazed at how large the area was, and that it was unexplored. Here is what he said: "an area as big as the United States, that’s never been seen by a human being. And that’s beyond the pole, on the other side of the south pole from LIttle America (base in Antarctica)" Look at a globe earth map of Antarctica, compared to the size of the continental US, and you'll see what he was referring to. Also, Admiral Byrd was no flat earther. What about the south pole? Don't flat earthers say the south pole doesn't exist, because it doesn't fit into their flat earth, ice wall realm?
    2
  260. "Why haven’t round earthers shown any satellite images of somebody in the ocean on the side or bottom part of the globe?" Because it is physically impossible. Satellites are in low orbits, and a satellite can't take a picture through the earth, with the earth in the way. A satellite would have to be almost directly overhead, so by then, a person on the bottom would be the same orientation as one on the top. Besides, there no top, bottom, or sideways on earth. Everywhere you are standing, is right side up for you. It's called gravity.
    2
  261. All it takes is understanding of gravity. Of course, flat earthers have to say that gravity is fake, otherwise their flat earth fantasy becomes null and void.
    2
  262. "a spinning round ball" The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. The hour hand on an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. Why do you flat earthers use the deceptive term "spinning", for a earth that's hardly moving, in relation to its huge size?
    2
  263. If you take one little drop out of the oceans water, and release it, it will fall to the earth because of gravity, one drop. If you pop that balloon, it will fall to the earth because of gravity.
    2
  264.  @allenburris3740  The point is, level doesn't mean flat.
    2
  265.  @clightning300mi  Flat and level aren't the same thing.
    2
  266. One problem you and other flat earthers have, is you can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. If the earth was the size of a basketball, the depth of all the zillions of tons of water would only be a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter, in thickness of all that water! Wow, that doesn't seem like so much water for gravity to hold to the earth, does it?
    2
  267. It depends on how far out in space you are. For the camera in your hand, you would want to be farther out than low earth orbit. If you actually know anything about photography, you should already know that.
    2
  268. "NASA's Mr. Blue Marble, Robert Simmons says all those images you see of earth are fake" Totally false. The composite images of Blue Marble are from 2002 and later. The Original Blue Marble was from 1972 and not composite. Of course, anyone who knows anything about photography, knows that composite images are made from real images. Anyway, here is a partial list of some of the best non fake images of the earth. Not CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. All shot on celluloid film. AS17-148-22725 to 22751, that's 26 photos. AS08-14-2383 to 2394, that's 12 photos. AS08-15-2535 to 2580, that's 46 photos. AS08-16-2588 to 2609, that's 22 photos.  AS11-44-6668 to AS11-44-6696, that's 289 photos
    2
  269. The iconic photos Earthrise (1968) and ORIGINAL Blue Marble (1972) were neither CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. They were individual shots on celluloid film. This is a fact and not in dispute, so they can't be anything else, other than real.

  275.  @skeptical5803  I know exactly what it says. An atmosphere on earth separated by water. The expanse of heaven. No hard dome! If you're not a flat earther, then what are you? Perhaps a cultist, but certainly not a Christian.
    2
  276.  @skeptical5803  I have, nothing about flat earth. If you want to misinterpret the Bible, that's your fallacy. The fact is, no real Christian church supports or promotes a flat earth or dome overhead. You don't think God is powerful enough to be able to create a globe earth that works with gravity, just like he did with everything else in the universe? You want to tell God, that isn't possible?
    2
  277. I'm a Bible believer, and the earth is a globe with gravity, just as God created it and the rest of the universe. The moon landings were real without a doubt, as well.

  282.  @byronturnbow2189  Totally false. Why is it that you can't bring back the bottom of the ship, that has gone beyond the horizon? Flat earthers with their magical Nikon cameras, only show videos of ships that are in front of the horizon. Or, they ignore the part about the bottom of the ships that are missing. City lights or skylines of Chicago don't mean anything either. Notice how you can't ever see the base of Chicago, only the skyline. If the earth was flat, you would see the base of Chicago as well.

  283.  @021om6  "What do we use to measure something to be flat?? Water!!!" The air bubble inside the little tube of water that's affected by gravity, is what determines level. It's gravity, not the water. Water finds its level by gravity, and level doesn't mean flat.
    2
  284.  @021om6  "have you not looked at a bath or a pond or a lake or a sea the surface is flat." It may look flat, but it is not flat. One of the biggest problems flat earthers have, is they can't comprehend how big the earth really is. That's why they think something looks flat, though it isn't. You eyes can't distinguish such microscopic degrees of curvature.
    2
  285. "Not sideways, you didn't fall up onto the ground like you would have to in Antarctica. " It's called gravity. But I know, as a flat earther, you are required under penalty of death or whatever, to believe that gravity is fake. On a globe earth with gravity, there is no sideways or upside down. Everywhere you are standing, is right side up. Mass creates gravity, and the earth is very, very, very big, so it has a lot of mass. In fact, the earth is so big that you have this false notion that if it looks flat, it must be flat. Right? It looks flat because the curvature is so miniscule that your eyes can't perceive the extremely slight curvature. Also, you seem befuddled by "1000mph spinning ball." Another factor to how you can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's as slow as can be, hardly moving, though it is.
    2
  286. Level doesn't mean flat, you know?
    2
  287. Good for you being young, yet being able to think rationally. Some say they can see curvature at the horizon from an airplane, but I think it depends on the landscape and the cloud cover. Personally, I think you need to be much higher, to see definitive curvature.

  291.  @1OnlyOneOnlyOne1  In other words, you never paid attention while watching the sun. To prove the earth a globe, all you have to do is observe the sun, throughout the course of a day. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe. On your flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Even in darkness, that tiny little pinpoint of light, would still be visible. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, even at sunset. Thus, the earth is a rotating globe.

  302.  @BillsBlenz  "a rapidly spinning ball suspended in space. " The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's extremely slow. Why do you want to call that spinning? Because Dubay told you? The hour hand of an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. You still think that is fast spinning? Water behaves because of gravity. Gravity works on oceans, water in buckets and glasses, and anything else. That's why there is no upside down or sideways on a globe earth. Even a glass of water has curved water, that matches the curvature of the earth, but because the earth is so big it appears flat, though it isn't. Water can be used as a leveling tool for small areas, because the curvature is miniscule on such a small scale, that it is insignificant. One of the biggest problems facing flat earthers, is that can't comprehend how huge the earth really is.
    2

Flat earthers think it measures from the horizon, which is false, so of course you and them get wonky numbers. That formula measures drop, not from the horizon, but from a line that is from the ground and perpendicular to the center of the earth, so out into the atmosphere somewhere.

You also have no idea how massive the earth really is, and that is perhaps why you are so bamboozled by this. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period! Do you realize how slow that is? It is slower than watching paint dry!
    2
  308. The level experiment is mostly a parody of flat earthers. Flat earthers seem to think that pilots fly by straight lines, instead of by altitude, which is totally false. They think that flying over a globe, the straight line would carry them off into space. Thus, they think that since pilots maintain that straight line and don't dip the nose of planes, to compensate for earth curvature, it proves the earth is flat, which is ludicrous. They think that level equals flat, which is also totally false.

  309.  @rodneybaker2629  I know you think the oceans are massive and deep, but here is something to think about. If the globe earth was the size of a basketball, the average depth of the oceans would only be a quarter of a millimeter thick. Now, a millimeter isn't much is it, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter in thickness for all the water! In reference, that's not a lot of water for gravity to hold to the earth.

While you are floating around in space, let's say your head becomes aligned with the south pole of the earth, and your feet are aligned with the north pole. In your total weightlessness, will you feel like you are upside down? The answer is no. It's similar to what you feel with gravity, in that you don't really shouldn't feel a sense of direction. Also, if it makes you feel better, turn your globe however which way you want. It doesn't matter.

  320. "Tell me at what scale does" At a very large scale that you can't seem to understand. No flat earthers can. Flat earthers can't comprehend how huge the earth really is, in regards to human activity. They think if something look flat, it must be flat, thought it isn't. Measuring curvature on small bodies of water is worthless, because the curvature is so miniscule, that it is insignificant. Also, why would you use the term "spinning?" The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's as slow as can be, slower than the hour hand of an analog clock, slower than watching paint dry, while flat earthers love to use the term spinning. Why is that? Here is something to think about, in terms of scale of how huge the earth is. If the earth was the size of a basketball, the depth of the billions of tons of water would only be a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter, in thickness of all that water! Wow, that doesn't seem like so much water for gravity to hold to the earth, does it?

The reality we see every day or night, only works on a globe, impossible on a flat earth.
    2
  324.  @super_ficial  "On a spinning globe the transition from day to night would be instantaneous." Ridiculous. You talk about spinning, when the earth only makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. Also, you talk about the sunlight becoming smaller, when you should be talking about the sun becoming smaller. On flat earth, with the sun itself moving away from you, it would have to get smaller, but it doesn't in reality. Observe the sun, throughout the course of a day, preferably over an open ocean. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it gradually slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat. On the usual flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle above the earth, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, thus, the earth is a rotating globe orbiting the sun.

  325. "So the difference in elevation between the two shoreline locations, SHOULD be more than 55 kilometers!" That's a laugh. You have to be dumber than dumb. Uniform elevations of shorelines, is exactly how it should be on our globe earth. The same with sea level, that same all over the globe. Level doesn't mean flat, by the way.
    2
  326. "where have you ever seen water remain in a curved shape and not level out straight" Level doesn't equal flat. Level is based on gravity. But I know, flat earthers are required to say that gravity is fake. You have to right? Otherwise, your fantasy for a flat earth, is nothing but foolishness.

  327.  @yestervue4697  I've hardly said a word. You're the one blathering on and on about nothing, except for your little pity party. But, if by chance you want to know one thing that proves a globe earth, all you have to do is look at sunrise and sunset. On our globe earth, the earth makes one rotation in a day. It is so slow in making that one measly rotation in a 24 hour period, that we don't even feel the earth moving. When the earth rotates, as we're sitting at whatever place we are, we can see the sun come up from the horizon, then after a few hours appear overhead, only to eventually disappear over the opposite horizon and plunge wherever we are, into total darkness. Now, since we're all in different locations on earth, the times we see the sun at sunrise, at it's peak, or sunset, will be at different times than in other locations. Thus, the reason why we have timezones, and this all works perfectly on our globe earth. However, on a flat earth, all that I have laid out above, is impossible. On a globe earth, while it is daylight in China, it is nighttime in New York City. On a flat earth, this is impossible. On a flat earth, the sun would have to be visible everywhere on flat earth at the same absolute time, and at night, everywhere on flat earth would be in darkness at the same absolute time. Yet it's not, so the earth can only be a globe.

  328.  @Globeisahoax  Byrd never said there was "extra land" , he was just surprised about how large an area of unexplored land there was in Antarctica. You would have thought, that with all of Byrd's expeditions to Antarctica, he would have found the narrow ice wall and dome edge that flat earthers like to claim rings their flat earth. But no, never did. Of course, Byrd was no flat earther.

  333. There is no one keeping anyone from Antarctica. Since it is such an extremely cold and hostile place, only those with scientific reasoning, would want to go there. The reason why planes don't routinely fly over it is because of adverse weather, and there are no emergency services available.

  339.  @fepatriot  That's a lousy video of a sunset, not accurate at all! All that lens flare, overexposing the camera sensor, doesn't show a realistic sun in the slightest. Typical, using deception and distortion to try and prove a flat earth, but doesn't help your case to anyone with a thinking brain.

  340.  @fepatriot  Look at the sun in this video. Notice how it disappears from the bottom up, all the while keeping the same size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkQ79IIAdt0

  341.  @fepatriot  Nonsense! You don't see the sun getting smaller and smaller and smaller, until just a tiny little dot, until so small you can't see it anymore. That's how it would have to be on your flat earth, but it isn't so the earth is a globe.
    2
  342.  @fepatriot  "why didn't you say a ship going over the horizon is your globe proof?" Because the sun is more reliable and observable. Try watching the sun throughout the course of a day. Notice that it never changes size throughout that day, whether it be sunrise, overhead at mid day, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. The fact that it never changes size, proves that the earth is a rotating globe. Impossible on a flat earth.
    2
  343. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. If you look at the big hand of an analog clock, realize that the big hand is moving twice as fast as the earth rotates. You think that is fast? Have you ever ridden on an airline? Had a glass of water on a plane? How did you and the water remain still and motionless, except for the bouncing of the airplane? A typical airline goes about 500mph, yet you don't feel any of that speed, do you? It's because you don't feel constant motion, only acceleration.
    2
  344.  @realityhijack1985  "roughly 1,000 miles per hour" What you are really trying to say is that you don't understand big numbers, so it must be fake. Just like you don't understand how big the earth really is. If you were standing on the moon, looking at the equator of the earth moving at its 1,000mph, you would hardly notice it moving. Maybe after an hour, you would see that it moved by 4% (1/24th).

  345. "why continents are bigger is some pictures" You obviously know nothing about photography, cameras and their different lenses. You could try this yourself, if you were so inclined. Take a picture of something very close up, like within a foot from the subject, then back up a considerable distance and take another picture of the same subject. Crop the picture from distance so that it is similar in size to the closeup picture. Notice how the proportions don't match?

  346. It's meant as a parody of flat earthers, not to debunk flat earth. Flat earthers have this silly notion that pilots fly planes via straight lines, not by altitude, and to fly over a globe earth the pilot would have to constantly dip the nose of the plane to go around the curve of the earth.

  348.  @Allprayers777  "I felt every possible motion except for a curve." Why would you expect motion from a curve? That's as dumb as can be. As was explained above, the earth is very, very, very big. Why didn't you experience the 500mph of that plane at cruising speed? Shouldn't you have been thrown to the back of the plane?
    2
  349.  @BURGERLAND999  It's called gravity.
    2
  350.  @theexisting1197  "why use corners as a reference, corners " Because the Bible is full of poetic hyperbole, metaphors, similes, figures of speech, and parables. As to spinning, the globe earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. More like hardly moving, than spinning.

Take your head out of the sand, unless you really are a flat earther. The iconic photos Earthrise (1968) and ORIGINAL Blue Marble (1972) were neither CGI, Photoshopped, or composite. They were shot on celluloid film, thus real.

  359.  @stevenvanvuuren8394  " the force of gravity which holds down billions of tons of water" Your arrogance is almost as bad as your ignorance. Here is something to think about. If the earth was the size of a basketball, the depth of the billions of tons of water would only be a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter, in thickness of all that water! Wow, that doesn't seem like so much water for gravity to hold to the earth then, does it?

  360.  @01049scarlat  Solar radiation can be easily reflected. The astronauts spacesuits were designed to reflect 90% of the light, so very little heat would have been transferred to them. The Hasselblads were painted silver to reflect sunlight. The same temperature units may be used, but what does that really mean, with no atmosphere? If you put your hand in a 350F oven on earth, without touching the sides, you can still feel the heat because of the air molecules agitating. If you had a similar oven on the moon, that has only a few air molecules to agitate, you wouldn't feel that heat.

He laughs at flat earth foolishness.

  369. No where in the Bible does it say the earth is flat. Just because you want to misinterpret the Bible, to make it fit your flat earth fantasy, doesn't make the earth flat.

In fact, no real Christian church supports a flat earth or dome overhead.

Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter, in thickness of all that water! Wow, that doesn't seem like so much water for gravity to hold to the earth, does it? One of the biggest problems flat earthers have, is they can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. That's why they think water looks flat, though it isn't.

Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat. On the usual flat earth model of the much smaller and much closer sun, going around in a circle above the earth, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot, since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, thus, the earth is a rotating globe orbiting the sun.

  389.  @paulorobertos123  You got that all wrong. If you had a camera and zoomed in on a boat, and water was behind the boat, you weren't beyond the horizon. In that instance, you could bring the boat back into view. If you zoomed on a boat that had the bottom missing, there would be no water seen beyond the boat, so the boat was obviously beyond the horizon. No amount of zoom can bring the bottom of that boat back. Look at this ship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpAGXpusAiQ

  390.  @paulorobertos123  It would be close, but who cares, what's the point? If you took that same line of the curvature of the earth, and lowered it to make the bottom of your pool, the bottom then wouldn't be equidistant to the center of the earth. The edges of the bottom of the pool would be closer to the surface, than the center. If you drew two circles of the same size, and overlayed one lower, you would see what I mean.

  391.  @paulorobertos123  Don't get caught up in silly flat earth curvature math, since you don't know what any of that means. The shape of the bottom is irrelevant. The water on the surface is always equidistant to the center of the earth, because of gravity.

  392.  @paulorobertos123  "With a swimming pool, if the bottom of the pool is curved (lower at each end and higher In the middle) does the surface follow the same shape? " No, all water follows the curvature of the earth, by being equidistant to the center of the earth, because of gravity.

  410. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. The hour hand on an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. If you were on the moon, looking back at the earth, you would might not think it was moving at all, though it is. Also, realize that if the earth was the size of a basketball, the vast deep oceans would be less than a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, so imagine only a quarter of a millimeter of water on a basketball sized earth. In that comparison, it doesn't seem like gravity would have to work that hard to keep the water to the earth. The biggest problem you and most flat earthers have, is that you can't conceptualize how huge the earth really is. With the earth so large, the curvature is miniscule and water looks flat, though it's not.

  411.  @Brian-di2yd  Since you want to talk about the sun now, it's more proof of a rotating globe earth. Notice how it maintains the same size at sunrise, still the same size at mid day overhead, and still the same size at sunset, as it appears to, rather abruptly, slide down below the horizon. This would be impossible on a flat earth, can only happen if the earth was a rotating globe. I know your flat earth model, where you think the sun moves around the flat earth in a circle. If that was true, your view of the sun would start out in the morning as a tiny little dot, that gradually gets bigger and bigger as it moves closer to you, reaching its maximum size at mid day overhead, then gradually getting smaller and smaller in the evening, shrinking even more until just a tiny dot as it moves away from you. A tiny dot that would always be visible with magnification, never actually set, as it circles back around again. Yet, in reality, none of this happens, proof that we are not on a flat earth.
    1
  412.  @Brian-di2yd  "your head is going to be facing the opposite direction" Nonsense! Your orientation to the earth is still the same. The east is still east on a rotating globe. If you are lying on your back with your arms outstretched and your head pointing north, your right hand will always be pointing west, regardless of what time it is. The only thing that changes is your view of star constellations, that appear to move but is really caused by the rotation of the earth. Try staying up all night and observing the stars movement in the sky. Watch the night sky for a few hours, you will see that the stars appear to rotate about a fixed point in the sky (which happens to be near the pole star, Polaris). While talking about star constellations, isn't it interesting that while you can see the Southern Cross from all the southern hemisphere of the earth, but is not visible from most locations of the northern hemisphere? This is because the earth is a globe.

  413.  @Brian-di2yd  The reason I don't understand, and why no one else commented, is because why would you say something so inane? The idea that you would change direction from east to west while not moving from the same position is nonsensical, even on a rotating globe earth. A compass always points north to the north pole, and east or west in reference to north, doesn't flip positions, even on a rotating globe earth.

  416. It's because of gravity. Think of it pulling toward the center of the earth. With gravity, when the bubble is not in the middle, it indicates an unequal gravitational force across the length of the level. Also, level doesn't mean flat.

  418.  @krazicjaxxon880  "So yes I see horizons.... you know what I don't see .... curvature." It's because the earth is too big for your eyes to perceive miniscule curvature over a relatively small distance. That's one of the main fallacies flat earthers have, that they can't comprehend how huge the earth really is. They think they should be able to easily see curvature all around them, a false way of thinking. They see a body of water that their eyes perceive as flat, though it really isn't. We are just ants on a great big world.

  422. NASA doesn't use CGI, though may make enhancements to digital photos like everyone else does today. No big deal there. There were plenty of pictures of a globe earth, taken on celluloid film, that are still proof of a globe earth. Wernher von Braun had a come to Jesus moment, later in his life, and that's why the quote on his tombstone. But, he was no flat earther. While a few misguided Christians think firmament refers to a flat earth and dome, a more accurate definition is the universe and heavens, that von Braun devoted his life to exploring. That context is why he used the quote from Psalms.

  423.  @jamesbuah6041  My answer still stands. If you are being trained to survey over short distances, the curvature is so insignificant that it can be ignored. That doesn't mean the earth is flat, it means that the calculations of curvature are too small to be of any consequence, so no need to waste time figuring them in. Did you understand the part about how flat earthers can't seem to comprehend how huge the earth really is?
    1
  424. It's because the earth is very, very, very big. Too big for you to perceive curvature from your tiny vantage point, because the curvature would be so miniscule.

  425.  @a.l.3956  It sounds like you are trying to read something else into what Byrd has said, other than what he meant. Of course there is "so much more to Antarctica than we know." It's a hostile place, that had hardly been explored during his time there in the 1930-40's. He was surprised about how large the continent was, an area as large as the US. There is no secrecy about Byrd's findings, and a lot a fiction has been attributed to Operation High Jump. Also, if it makes you feel any better, the Antarctic Treaty forbids military activity in Antarctica.

You think you see flat, but the reality is that because the earth is so big, the curvature is miniscule, from your tiny vantage point. Also, level doesn't mean flat, and Michio Kaku doesn't say that at all about gravity. He says gravity is a "force," not a farce.

  451. "Why are there NASA documents in which they're doing tests on a flat and motionless plane?" You think Reference Publication 1207 is saying that the earth is flat and non rotating, when it doesn't say that at all. It’s a reference document for a computer aircraft flight simulation written in 1988. In order for the computer to crunch the numbers more quickly, they left out all factors which had a negligible effect. Such as the curve and rotation of the earth. If the earth was in fact flat and non-rotating, they wouldn’t have had to make note of this. But it is in fact spherical and rotating, so they included the fact that the computer program did not take these factors into account, so that everyone was on the same page. The equations that have been derived in the report are based on the assumption of a “rigid aircraft of constant mass,” which doesn't happen in reality, as aircraft burn fuel while they fly and change mass. Just like “flying in a stationary atmosphere,” which doesn’t happen in reality, as there is always wind. So, the equations in the report are based on the assumption of an ideal craft that burns no fuel, flying in air that has no wind, over a non-rotating flat earth. "Why'd Buzz Aldrin say they never went to the moon? " He never said that. Notice the question Zoey asks: "Why has nobody been to the moon in such a long time?" Long time means from the last time since going to the moon. Buzz answers appropriately, "We didn't go there" during the long time since the last time going to the moon. Please pay close attention to what he said immediately after, as it's very telling as to why no one has gone back to the moon since the last time going to the moon. It's not that hard to understand. Also, if you watch the first part of the interview he talks about going to the moon. And at the end of the interview, he talks about going to the moon.

  452. "Years of work in places where you can see the flat horizon" Probably your biggest problem is you can't fathom how huge the earth really is. Just because something looks flat, doesn't mean it is. That's lousy logic. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. If you were standing on the moon looking back at the earth, you would say the earth wasn't moving, it is really that slow. Don't you see that is the same logic you are using, by looking at a horizon and calling it flat? I'd hardly call that spinning. Your other problem is that you want to misinterpret the Bible. It says nothing about a flat earth. Ask yourself why no real Christian church supports or promotes a flat earth?

  454.  @sandmanbeaches565  As usual, Bart Sibrel lied! Why haven't you figured out yet that Sibrel is a lying con? Sibrel’s shortened version of the video is recut out of sequence: the unedited footage simply shows the astronauts preparing for TV transmissions and testing the camera settings. This is evident by listening to their communications in full, as available in the Apollo Flight Journal (Day 1, part 4: Navigation and Housekeeping and Day 2, part 2: TV Transmission), instead of taking selected quotes out of context. These communications report that the pictures show the eastern Pacific Ocean, the west coast of North America and the southern coast of South America (north is down and to the left). Moreover, the camera trick alleged by Sibrel wouldn’t have worked even if the astronauts had tried it. If the Apollo spacecraft had been in low orbit around the Earth, with its TV camera peeking through a circular mask at a small portion of the planet below, the footage would have shown ever-changing clouds and parts of the planet rolling by as the spacecraft rapidly circled the globe. The uncut, less grainy version of the video presented by Sibrel instead shows exactly the same unchanging cloud patterns for as much as fifteen minutes. In order to provide 1969 TV viewers back on earth with the best possible view of earth from space, it was necessary to eliminate the glaring reflected light and direct sunlight that was streaming into the spacecraft and interfering with the shot. The official Apollo 11 mission documentation from 1969 contains astronaut Michael Collins' own discussion of these lighting problems and the difficulties he experienced with the window shades in the Apollo spacecraft. Unfortunately for Bart Sibrel, he is obviously unaware of astronaut Mike Collins documented statements, or just lied as he does. The astronauts shuttered most of the capsule windows with special shades that blocked most of the glaring direct and reflected sunlight coming off of the bright, shiny Lunar Module which was docked in close proximity to the location of the windows. What one actually witnesses in the video are not cutouts or templates passing between the earth and the TV camera, it is the communications headset wiring, arms and body of astronaut Michael Collins as he reaches over to remove the shade blocking one of the spacecraft windows. As soon as the shade is removed, the video shows the cabin immediately illuminating with glaring reflected sunlight. We also see that Collins is the one opening the window shade and that another member of the crew is obviously handling the camera from the vicinity of the foot area of the crew couches. Sibrel expressed the impression that the hand-held Westinghouse TV camera was hard-mounted to the face of the cabin window, which was totally false.

If you were on the moon, looking back at the earth, you would think that the earth is hardly moving. Instead, you think about 1000mph, like wow, that's really fast.

  476. Since you started this about water covering the earth, here is an interesting tidbit of information. If the earth was the size of a basketball, the mighty depths of the ocean would be less than a quarter of a millimeter in depth! Now, a millimeter on a basketball isn't much, but imagine water only being a quarter of a millimeter in depth. You don't realize how huge the earth really is.

  477.  @RCTurbo79  All you have to do is go outside some day, and observe the course of the sun. Preferably, at the ocean on a clear day. Observe the sun at sunrise, mid day overhead, and sunset. Pay close attention at how the sun maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, overhead at mid day, and sunset, before rather abruptly going over the horizon. Remember, the sun stays the same size throughout the day, that is the key thing to think about.

  478.  @RCTurbo79  You could have sunrise and sunset on a stationary globe earth, if the sun was revolving around it, yes. But since that would skew the movement and positions of all the celestial bodies around us, no. Still impossible on a flat earth. You probably subscribe to the common flat earth theory of the sun going around in a little circle above your flat earth? Unfortunately for you, that is impossible, based on how we see the sun in reality, with our own eyes.

If you look at the big hand on a analog clock, realize that it is moving twice as fast as the earth rotates. You still think that is fast?

It's because the air is thinner, less atmospheric pressure, the higher in elevation you go. The Bible referring to water below and water above, is explaining the waters of the oceans and lakes below the atmosphere (another definition for firmament) we breath for life. The waters above is explaining condensation in clouds. Surely you have heard of rain, and great floods from many days of rain?

  508. "Do you know all flight models for all air forces are based on a flat stationary earth." Because you have no idea what a flight model is. NASA Reference Publication 1207: Derivation and Definition of a Linear Aircraft Model, is a prime example of how flat earthers like yourself, cherry pick a couple words to try and say that NASA and the military state that the earth is flat and motionless. This document and others like it, don't say that at all. 1207 is a reference document for a computer aircraft flight simulation model written in 1988. In order for the computer to crunch the numbers more efficiently, they left out all factors which had a negligible effect on the model. Such as the curvature and rotation of the earth. If the earth was in fact flat and non-rotating, they wouldn’t have had to make note of this. But it is in fact spherical and rotating, so they included the fact that the computer program did not take these factors into account, because they are insignificant to the model. Notice how the document also states that the equations that have been derived based on the assumption of a “rigid aircraft of constant mass.” Which doesn't happen in reality either, as aircraft have flaps and ailerons, and burn fuel while they fly thus changing mass. Just like “flying in a stationary atmosphere,” which doesn’t happen in reality, as there is always wind. So, the equations are based on the assumption of an ideal craft that has no flaps to change position, burns no fuel, flying in air that has no wind, over a non-rotating flat earth.

  513.  @therealzilch  Yes! I'd heard the claim before, about schools teaching flat earth before the 1900's, but you can only find it on flat earth websites. While jdog talks about his "personally looked up old newspaper articles", I'd say he is lying, and found this one article from a flat earth website. Funny, that it seems to be the only newspaper article about this subject, in existence.

It is titled "Says Earth is Round", and is about someone in England supposedly in trouble for teaching the earth is a sphere. The whole page of stories are highly sensational. While jdog says he has done all this research, I'm betting he is grossly exaggerating, and this is the only newspaper article he came across.

  529.  @antoniob3941  The earth makes one measly rotation in a about a 24 hour period, it's called a day. Watch the hour hand of an analog clock, and realize that the hour hand is moving twice fast as the earth rotation. Now, does that seem "ridiculously" fast?

  530. The level on a plane segment, is a parody of flat earthers.

It’s like they never heard of altitude equidistant around the earth, or an altimeter.

  543. The earth is fixed and immovable in relation to its orbit around the sun. Have you ever known the earth to "unfix" itself and "move" itself out of its orbit around the sun? It doesn't happen, because the earth is fixed and immovable in relation to its orbit around the sun. The earth also is fixed and immovable in relation to us. There has never been a single day in which we had no place to stand, because the earth unfixed itself and moved itself out from under our feet. The earth has always been fixed and immovable, both in relation to us and in relation to its orbit around the sun. In fact we've learned to take it for granted that the sun will shine during the day and that there will ground for us to stand on when we awake in the morning. Having said that, one should at least consider the possibility that the verses cited above are actually using a figure of speech, to express the permanence of God's will and the permanence of his creation.

There are certain things flat earthers are required to believe in, under penalty of death or whatever, such as the existence of aether, gravity is fake, Antarctica can only be an ice ring that people can't go to, etc. Otherwise, their flat earth fantasy is nothing but a fraud, which it is, but anyway...

  550.  @carriethompson84  No, flat earth is not possible the way we see a sunset in reality. On a flat earth, the horizon is the edge of the earth, it can't change. According to most flat earthers, the sun never sets, it just goes farther away and circles. On a globe, the horizon is determined by your elevation in reference to the globe. So, it can vary. If you had your head on the sand and saw the sun completely set, you could stand up and see part of the sun again, because you raised your elevation.
    1
  551.  @carriethompson84  Carrie, to prove the earth is a globe, all you have to do is watch a sunset, preferably over the ocean on a clear day. Then, realize what you are seeing is impossible on a flat earth. You need to do better research.

  555.  @glennrobards585  You're proving yourself, in this thread and others, that maybe you are just a moron? Pushing the usual1000mph spin rate, which is misleading, because you can't understand anything. The only thing you need to know is one rotation in a 24 hour period, which you keep ignoring. I tried to make it easy for you with the basketball experiment, because it is the same as if you were in space watching the globe earth make one rotation in a 24 hour period.
    1
  556.  @glennrobards585  The reason why you can't see the earth spin, is because it is spinning so slowly. One measly rotation in a 24 hour period! Do you realize how slow that is? It is slower than watching paint dry! Imagine watching a basketball for 24 hours, and watching it make one rotation in a 24 hour period. If the sun moved away at sunset, it would get smaller and smaller, but it doesn't do that does it? It certainly dips over the horizon, why are you that ignorant? And, it maintains the same size when it does so! "Water lays flat, and a ripple in the water breaks the path of the sun." What nonsense! That makes no sense! On a mountain less plain, what breaks the path of the sun? The curvature of the earth, that's what!

  567.  @dickgrande  If the sun is moving away from you, like you claim, it will get smaller and smaller and smaller. So small that it would eventually become a tiny little pinpoint of light. Since that doesn't happen, the sun can't be traveling around in a circle on a flat earth.

  568.  @dickgrande  " the sun just goes to far to be visible from one area and it's actually lower/closer to earth." Except it doesn't. You're delusional to think otherwise. Go watch a sunset over an open ocean some day. Or, search for this video: Full Sunset at Clear water beach Florida.

  569.  @dickgrande  I've looked at the flat earth model of the sun and moon going around in a little circle on a flat disk of the earth.

  581.  @libertypltd4198  That's ridiculous. You've never seen a sunset over an open ocean on a clear day, obviously. I've seen your phony videos, they are nothing like we see in the real world. Have you ever noticed how your videos never show the sun in darkness? To prove the earth a globe, all you have to do is observe the sun, throughout the course of a day. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe. On your flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day.

You must also think that if you are on a passenger airplane, traveling at 500mph, that you don't dare jump up in the aisle, lest you be thrown to the back of the plane? Ever wonder why you don't feel that 500mph speed, while sitting in the plane?

  590.  @diegolorenachristianminist5635  Obviously, you've never been to a beach with an unobscured ocean, and observed a sunset. It isn't that hard to understand. The sun doesn't get smaller and smaller and smaller until it disappears, like it would have to on your flat earth. On globe earth, just like we see in reality, it stays the same size and goes over the horizon bottom first. Look at this video that shows ships in the far distance. Notice how the bottoms are missing. It's because they are going over the curve of the earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMRhTPMSfk

It goes over the horizon, bottom first, and disappears because of going over the globe.

  592.  @isaaclaumbach2522  When the Apollo program was cut, all the funding for future moon missions stopped. All the infrastructure, engineers, spare parts, assembly jigs, etc., weren't needed anymore, so they went away as well. The Saturn V and Apollo spacecraft were one use only, so they didn't build anymore of them. All that is the technology that's being referred to, that was lost, destroyed, or whatever word you want to use. It cost an incredible amount of money to go to the moon, so it's not that easy to start things up again.

  593.  @onefodderunit  So, you are obviously bamboozled by big numbers, I get that. The earth is very, very, very big, and you should take that into consideration when you talk about big numbers. If you were standing on the moon looking back at the earth, you would think it wasn't moving, though it would be ever so slowly. The answer to your question about the atmosphere, is gravity.

  594.  @onefodderunit  The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. That's as slow as can be. The hour hand of an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. Does that really seem like spinning?

  595. Planes need an atmosphere to fly, and since the atmosphere is part of the earth, the atmosphere and plane move with the rotation of the earth. So, no need for planes to keep up with the rotation of the earth, which is only one rotation in a 24 hour period.

Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat.

Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, thus, the earth is a rotating globe orbiting the sun. Also, the reasons why you don't feel anything is because one, the earth is hardly moving. One measly rotation in a 24 hour period. The hour hand of an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. Try standing, and taking 24 hours to complete one revolution in the same spot. You won't feel a thing from the movement, and will likely fall asleep before the 24 hours are up. Also, second reason, the earth is rotating at a constant speed. You only feel acceleration not a constant speed. An airplane travels at 500mph constant cruising speed, but you won't feel it, only the speed change, ascension, descension, and air turbulence.

  607. "How does water remain on a ball ? If you're going to use the force of gravity perspective, how much of a force is required to hold the weight of the oceans." Here is something to think about, as you can't seem to understand how big the earth really is. If the earth was the size of a basketball, the depth of the billions of tons of water would only be a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, but imagine only a quarter of a millimeter, in thickness of all that water! Wow, that doesn't seem like so much water for gravity to hold to the earth, does it?

  614.  @bigtalk2598  "How can you not see that you are being deceived and that the earth is flat?" Because all you have to do, to prove the earth a globe, is observe the sun, throughout the course of a day, preferably over an open ocean. Notice how it maintains the same size throughout the day, whether it be sunrise, mid day overhead, or sunset, when it rather abruptly slides down below the horizon. Even at that point of sunset, still keeping the same size as it was earlier in the day. That alone, proves the earth a rotating globe, and not flat. On the usual flat earth model of the sun going around in a circle above the earth, the sun would have to start out as a tiny little dot since it would be very far away, gradually getting larger and larger as it came closer to you, until its largest size of the day at mid day. Then, it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moved away from you, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light at sunset. Yet, that doesn't happen with the sun we see in reality. The sun in reality, doesn't get smaller and smaller. Doesn't get so small, until just a tiny little pinpoint of light, as it moves away from you. Instead, in reality, it maintains the same size throughout the course of a day, thus, the earth is a rotating globe orbiting the sun.

  632.  @spakeface9752  It proves the earth a globe. If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow. But they don’t. This, again, is because the Earth is round, and not flat.

If you jump up in the aisle, will you be thrown to the back of the plane? The law of conservation of momentum means you only feel acceleration or deceleration, not constant speed.

  675.  @yestervue4697  Pilots on planes don't fly by straight lines, they fly by altitude. That's why they don't have to "dip" flying over the globe. I'd still like to get back to sunrise and sunset, where you think the sun just goes out of the eye's range, and that's what you call sunset. Yet, like I said, on your flat earth, the sun would have to get smaller, and smaller, and smaller, to where it was just a tiny, tiny pinpoint of light in the sky. But that doesn't happen, doe it? The sun maintains the same size at sunrise, mid day, and sunset, almost no change in size through the whole course of a day.

  676. The earth makes one measly rotation in a 24 hour period. I'd hardly call that spinning. The hour hand on an analog clock moves twice as fast as the earth rotates. If you were on the moon, looking back at the earth, you would might not think it was moving at all, though it is. Also, realize that if the earth was the size of a basketball, the vast deep oceans would be less than a quarter of a millimeter in thickness. Now, a millimeter isn't much, so imagine only a quarter of a millimeter of water on a basketball sized earth. In that comparison, it doesn't seem like gravity would have to work that hard to keep the water to the earth. The biggest problem you and most flat earthers have, is that you can't conceptualize how huge the earth really is. With the earth so large, the curvature is miniscule and water looks flat, though it's not.

  685. In regards to NASA 1207, flat earth calculation are used to simplify equations for aircraft flights at Mach 3 or less. Flat earth calculations do not apply to aircraft flying faster than Mach 3, space craft or missiles. “The observant reader will notice that the aircraft equations of motion were calculated assuming a flat Earth and that we here assume the development frame was the North-East-Down frame. This implies necessarily that earth rotation and the variation of the gravity vector with position over the earth were ignored in developing the aircraft equations of motion. This simplification limits our mathematical model to the flight of aircraft only. The model will not properly handle the flight of sub-orbital craft and spacecraft such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, satellites, or the space shuttle. The model is adequate for all vehicles traveling under Mach 3.”
