  1. It was in 1912.

  2. It is not a perfect sphere. And you don't need Neil deGrasseTyson for that.

  3. He is just saying, that the Mercator projection is distorted. But that is true for every 2D-projection of the globe. Because it is not possible to bring the surface of a sphere on a 2D map without gaps or distortions.

  4. Do you really think that we cannot find out the actual distance between two cities, and that nobody ever noticed that all maps are wrong? Thousands of people travel around the earth all the time, for decades and centuries (that is how maps were created), people drive around, fly around... logistic companies send container ships, airplanes, traines, trucks... And nobody noticed something like "Hmm, strange, according to the map the way should have been 1000 miles, I just travelled only 500 miles and I am already there". So you actually believe that the earth looks like on the Gleason map? That the distance from Brisbane to Perth is about the same as the distance from Cairo to Cape Town? That the proportion of Australia are like that and not like on the globe? That a circumnavigation along the 45° northern latitude is waaay shorter than a circumnaviagtion along the 45° southern latitude? Do you even have a scale for the map? I mean, that is the essential thing, because a map has nothing to do with some idealogy, it is just a tool, that you use. So I take it to measure a distance on the map. So I an estimate how long a trip will take, how much fuel I need etc. I can take a globe from 1900 (so much before NASA or even airplanes; The idea that you have to see the earth from high above to know how it looks like is stupid), measure a distance, and can estimate how long a flight will take. And it works. Because that is how the earth looks like. BTW a sunset at the beach proves that earth is not flat. And please, trust your eyes and your brain that God gave you. Don't listen to charlatans on the internet who describe a sunset as "The sun goes further away and is finally so far away that you cannot see it anymore". That is NOT what you see.

  5. The only real map is the globe.

  6. Peel an orange and try to make a gapless and flat plane out of the peel. It will not work.

  7. "How come pictures taken from the moon you can’t see stars but on earth you can see them so easily?" You see stars on earth at day? Really? No, you see them only at night. And I am sure you also see them at night on the moon.

  8. No, it is the opposite. The radial speed depends of course on the radius. Imagine you sit in a merry-go round. It takes a certain time to make one rotation. But the cars, that are more far away from the center, have a longer way to take in that time. So they are faster than the cars, that are closer to the center.

  9. "The big bang is the stupidest theory I ever heard." So you think that the unvierse has no beginning? Or started with a certain size and at some moment in the past it started to expanse? Or do you have a better theory for the observable red shift than "expansion"? "some asshole wanted to be smart And feel like he know everything so he made up that dumb ass theory." Well, actually there were critics back then, who believed that the universe were always there. The big bang theory was mainly made by an astrophysicst, who also was a christian theologist and priest (Georges Lemaître). So the critics of the theory said: It is not a neutral idea, it is biased, the guy came up with that theory because he was looking for a theory that is compatible with a Christian belief of creation. The big bang theory basicly says, that there was a moment of the beginning of the universe, the beginning of time and space. The inventor of the theory saw it as the moment of creation (as I said, he was a devoted Christian). However, in science a theory cannot just be claimed by someeone and then the other just believes it. Instead scientists looks critical at it, tested it etc. But experiments and obersvations more and more confirmed it. "if you leave a stick of dynamite on the table that dynamite is not going to explode at least someone strike a match and put it toward the dynamite u telling me out of nowhere an explosion happen for no reason and created life created the universe " The big bang was not an explosion. It describes the expansion of the universe starting from a singularity, so where the entire universe was packed together in one infinite small point. It doesn't tell what was before the big bang (actually it doesn't make much sense to use the term "before", because time itself started with the big bang). It doesn't tell why the universe started to expand (the inventor of the Big Bang theory says, it was God who started it).

  10. No, you just don't understand what a projection is. The Globe is the reference. It is not possible to put all the real sized countries on a flat map. Because you also have to take the real sized oceans, of course.

  11. What do you mean with "inner space"?

  12. Prove, that the a globe is not a miniature of the earth. And don't tell me anything about "There is no curvature", "We can see farther than we should", "Water find its level", "All NASA picture are CGI" or other stuff like that. I only demand: Tell me two cities, where the distance between them, that I measure on a globe, doesn't match with the distance in reality.

  13.  @TransitionedToAShark  What is the "celestial sphere of space"? And where is that? Does that mean when you would go straight up with a rocket you finally hit a ceiling/wall? How far away is that from the ground? And what does that mean that "outside of that is fake"? So that there is nothing behind it? But what should "nothing" even mean?

  14. The Deep Space Climate Observator sends about 20 pictures per day to earth, you can all see them online.

  15.  @BurdenofTheMighty  "It was removed due to being too small" It was removed, because it hasn't clean its orbit.

  16. Already the light of the sun is eight minutes old. So when you see it, it could already might be gone for 8 minutes.

  17. "being truly in space would require you to leave from earths gravitational pull. " By that definition, we would never been in space, because the range of gravity is unlimited. It just can happen, that at one point the gravity pull of another object becomes stronger than the gravity pull of the earth. Actually you can say, that space is everywhere. So we are in space. Usual we use the term for everything outside the atmosphere, But I have never heard of "outside the gravitational pull of the earth" as a definition of space.

  18. Actually the centripetal force in this case is gravity. Centrifugal force is a fictitious force, but you could say in this case, that it makes you lighter.

  19. "Size of the earth is completely unknown to the public." Are you kidding ? Does the governtment prevents you from travel the world with your own car, your own boat, your own airplane? Are all airlines, logistic companies etc. part of the conspiracy?

  20. I am not sure what you are talking about. Is it my wording WITH the car? Sorry, I am not a native speaker. But what I just mean is: I can drive with a car where ever I want. The car has a mileage counter. So I know the lenght of streets, the distances between cities etc. I can also do this with a car, a helicopter, a plane. I can travel the world and measure the distances. That is why we know hot the world looks. You also get to know the size then, of course.
