  1. Nobody "led you" to believe it was tiny, moron.

  2.  @Matt-ir1ky  Actually the pilot or autopilot DOES dive the nose. I'm a physicist. The change in the attitude of the plane about its center of gravity has to be accounted for. It does NOT "automatically" happen due to gravity. Gravity only pulls down, it doesn't rotate a mass. The ISS does not rotate as it orbits the earth, its solar panels stay pointed at the sun because that is where they aimed it with thrusters. Then they turn off the thrusters. What is happening is that when the pilot or autopilot maintains its assigned altitude, it does so by altering the elevator on the tail of the plane up or down. The amount needed to conform to a circular path around the earth is VERY TINY and the pilot doesn't notice it, he does it as a tiny part of maintaining his altitude. The earth curves 1 degree per 70 miles. If you're going 500 mph, which is 8.5 miles per minute, then you do that 70 mile distance in about 8 minutes. (70/8.5) . That means the pilot or autopilot adjusts the plane only 1 degree per 480 seconds. Or 1/480th of a degree per second. That is NOT noticeable to the pilot or even on the yoke controlling the elevator. But it IS totally accomplished JUST by him maintaining his assigned altitude.

  3.  @thephaneron3676  Well, sure, unless one is a dumbass! I'm a physicist. I agree with everything you said. So what are we talking about here? It does take a lot of time and equipment. Now I can do it, I can make simple equipment to do it, but most can't, and they'll just have to believe me if they have any sense at all. But some don't. Hahah!

  4.  @Matt-ir1ky  I wouldn't like you to just "have faith" in the Science without understanding it, it's nice of you to pay attention to a scientist, but we'd really rather have you understand. Check out Wolfie6020, a commercial pilot and scientist who agrees with my analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avXJqA3w7qk

  7. No.

  8.  @boterlettersukkel  A plane keeps altitude by supplying enough energy to remain at that gravitational potential energy, but neither energy nor altitude is attitude. That is controlled by the elevator.

  9.  @boterlettersukkel  My university is sure.

  10.  @boterlettersukkel  Yes, but don't let this confuse you. Your confusion lies in the elevator being used BOTH in the process of changing altitude, and changing attitude. To change altitude substantially you do have to add power, but when you get to altitude you reduce power back to cruising and trim-out. But without adding power you can move the stick and gain a few inches or feet of altitude by trading a TINY bit of forward velocity's kinetic energy for a tiny bit of gravitational potential energy. So we can see that power is NOT absolutely needed to gain a tiny increase in altitude. Now, in adjusting attitude, we are not changing altitude at all, we are only trimming the plane, same as you do with trim tabs. And that which is needed to continuously conform the plane to its circular path around the globe is so tiny that I doubt you could even notice it on your trim-tab wheel.

  11. No, honey, it isn't, you're just an uneducated moron. All bodies of water are very slightly curved, you can see it in a swimming pool with an accurate laser micrometer. Use a level or a transit and look out over the ocean from a mountain top, the horizon is lower than the level line of sight, and lower the higher you see it from. That's because you're looking down over the curve of the sphere you're standing on. If the earth was flat, the horizon would rise to the level line of sight. It doesn't. You can use the horizon drop to measure the size of the globe. Ships go over the curve and disappear bottom first. You think zooming in will "bring back the bottom of the ship"? No, it won't, that was a LIE by Eric Dubay. He obviously never really tried it, he's too bust buttfucking little Thai boys. You have allowed the liars who want your money to confuse you.

  14. Those are mirages due to light refraction across a water surface. The test for a mirage is whether you can see it every day. If yes, it is real, if not, then it is a mirage.

  15.  @Easyeastallstar111  No, YouTube doesn't do that. Those of us scientists who debunk your crap would realize you were disappearing. Instead what we see are people realizing that FE is wrong.

  23.  @britneygoth3811  No, they don't. It's like railroad tracks, if you lay down between them it looks like they come together at an angle, but they are actually parallel and never do. So-called "corpuscular' rays are dust illuminated by the sun seen at great distance. They look like they are angling together only because you're between them, like the railroad tracks.

  33. That was because that was misinformation, the visible skyline across lake Michigan is a refraction mirage, which can be determined from observing for it every day, it is not visible many clear days, proving it is a refraction mirage, which only appears in moist conditions across water. The assertion that it is because the earth is flat is a total fraud. As for videos removed, it has been debunked a lot, and some of its original promoters have decided it made them look stupid and removed them.

  34.  @Matt-ir1ky  They aren't "taken down", they are removed by their posters, many of whom now have realized flat earth is a hoax and now don't wish to look stupid. Interest in FE is waning because people who fell for it originally have found out that they were wrong and are now embarrassed.

  35.  @Easyeastallstar111  We went to the moon six times to land, and before that twice just to orbit it. Americans got bored with it, very few watched the last mission at all on TV. And it was VERY expensive. The American people didn't want to pay for it anymore if it was going to be what they thought of as "re-runs". The GOP was trying to fight a war at the time and resented the expense. They came to power and cut off funding for the final two planned missions. We used the money and the boosters for an MOL, manned orbital laboratory made of an upper stage hollowed out, and then a joint mission with the Russians, and then everybody lost interest. There are plenty of pictures of earth from space if you don't stupidly think they're fake. We had lousy cameras back then, film was hard to use in space, even things like the Hubble weren't possible till we developed digital film planes. There are still lots of pix of earth every ten minutes from the Himawari, and GOES-West and GOES-East weather satellites, and the Euros have one as well. Going far enough out to see the whole earth is often not bothered with, that kind of GEOSYNCH orbit is only useful for weather satellites. and the flerfers complain that it "doesn't spin so it can't be real", stupidly, actually it does spin at the same rate the GEOSYNCH satellites orbit, which is the purpose of GEOSYNCH. But we have pix from the moon from the landings, and we now have the Lunar Reconnaissance Obiter, and we get pix of earth-rise over the lunar horizon constantly. The astronauts on the moon never thought that somebody really wouldn't believe that they had been there, so they weren't taking many pix of earth, we KNEW what earth looked like, they were interested in the moon!! I don't know what you mean by CGI pix of satellites? Why would anybody do that? The only pix of satellites we have are either artists renditions as adverts by the company making them, or real pix of them through telescopes, in which they are just bright dots. Lately with the onboard cameras on boosters you can even see satellites being placed in orbit from a few feet away. Most internet transmission is ground microwave and undersea cable, only the satellite TV networks and Iridium and folks like that offer internet by satellite, and now SpaceX has been launching hundreds of internet satellites for their new system StarLink. I don't need to have gone to space, but my cousin lived on the ISS for three months, and I've talked to him by HAM radio when they went over. The ISS is fun to watch, it crosses the sky on jus about 5 minutes, and it's the brightest thing in the sky next to the moon or sun, if the sun is shining on it, that is. And you can see its solar panel wings with a small telescope. It's 100 yards long and 50 yards wide and 240 miles in the sky. Nobody is saying trust "authority", merely expertise. I'm a physicist and I know how all this stuff works, so I easily understand it. I understand that others may not, but they should. Just like you believe your doctor and trust them to operate on you, you should trust the massive number of extremely well-educated physicists and scientists that do this stuff to tell you the truth about the earth. If you really want to know HOW I KNOW the earth is a globe and spins slowly and travels around the sun at a huge distance, then you're going to have to not only ask questions, but you're going to have to listen to and bother to learn to understand our answers. Nobody is trying to fool you, scientists have an almost religious ethic about strictly speaking the truth to those who would learn from us. As a physicist it is my moral DUTY to educate anyone who asks for my knowledge. Feel free to ask me as many questions as you would like for the things you want explained.
