  1. Your parents told you stepping in front of a moving car will get you hurt. What have you done to test rhat?

  2. The first is clearly labelled “skit”. The second is irrelevant to the subject. The third….how many times in how many ways by how many people do the “200 proofs” need to be debunked to satisfy you that they have been debunked?

  3. There's inquisitive and there's denial. There can be plenty of questions but they aren't interested in any meaningful answers.

  4. Observable motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris matching latitude, constellations changing with latitude, two celestial poles and lunar eclipses having a circular shadow - still waiting on the FE’er explanations. “Experiments” such as using the wrong maths & ignoring key factors then demanding to know why your answers don’t match reality? The mechanism is based on the observed periodicity of events, not a physical model of the universe.

  5.  @freefreepalestine360  Why not try quoting the Law of Perspective? Why isn’t your atmospheric lensjng affected by atmospheric conditions? How does it work at all?

  6. Be brave - be the first FE’er to explain how density (a ratio with no direction) can act as a force. You all profess to know.

  7. How did NASA influence the ancient Greeks?

  8. Why don’t you try telling us what you think is right and how you conclude that?

  9. Good grief. Air bubbles that move slowly sideways in contradiction to air bubble motion are not air bubbles. Training pools do not magically preclude space travel. One picture, openly stated to be a composite of low orbit shots, had clouds added. Photos aren’t being taken for the benefit of people who deny them anyway but to advance knowledge. What inconsistencies in the globe model?

  10.  @LJ...69.  Because you don’t have a mind?

  11. Motion of the sun, constellations changing with season & latitude, angle to Polaris matching latitude, two celestial poles, horizons, phases of the moon, lunar eclipses; observations that can be made by anybody and 2500 years on we are still waiting forr FE explanations.

  12. Atmospheric pressure declines with increasing altitude. At what point do you think there is pressure adjacent to a vacuum? Why does it decline at all if you think there is equal air pressure?

  13. A lot of them haven't figured out that we do experiments; "scientists need to test these things" is a refrain Ive heard numerous times. Since their experience of science is sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher they assume we make a career of doing that.

  14. Are you familiar with the concept of shadows?

  15. How would water observe its environment, make decisions and move itself?

  16. Scientific theory: a comprehensive explanation for a natural phenomenon that is well substantiated by extensive experimentation and observation. It is not a guess or hunch; that is the vernacular meanjng of theory, eg, creation theory. The Big Bang refers to the expansion of the early universe, not how it came to exist. Nobody is claiming it came from nothing.

  17. Why would she not be capable of writing her own notes?

  18. What do you mean by “tested in a lab”? You realise that you can get on an intercontinental flight and step iff in the correct airport? How do you thonk that is achieved without accurate maps?

  19.  @ekulenwaiku4654  Blue Marble was taken from Apollo 17 as it returned from the moon. It was taken from about 18000 miles in a single frame using a Hasselbad camera designed to operate in the brightness of the lunar surface.

  20. How does the sun maintain a constant angular velocity and angular diameter through the course of the day?
    6
  21. Blue Marble (1972) shot in a single frame on analogue film.

  22. We don’t. Polaris can’t be seen by south of the equator, the Southern Cross has limited view north of the equator.
    6
  23. Explain how density (a ratio) acts as a force and why in a consistent direction? Surely your gurus explained it to you?
    6
  24. Nice bundle of ignorance on your part. Motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris, constellations changing with latitude, two celestial poles: explain how all those work on a plane.

  25.  @shaunsteele8244  Evidence all around us such as what? The sun rising & setting?

  26. Paranoia rather than logic.

  27. Stellar parallax is observable just not huge. Drop calculation has to take into account elevation & refraction; no problems when they are. Lasers diverge with increasing distance and are susceptible to refraction; no problems when that is taken into account. 15 degrees per hour isn’t movement? In the same way railway lines meet up. Ignoring key factors and not thinking are the staples of FE “experiments”. That is why you get “different” answers.
    6
  28. Why is it always “do the research” and never any of you producing the model you boast that you have? Producing the claimed model would be so much more convincing that telling people to look at half-baked ideas.

  29. 1a: Explain why you think 1970 technology, materials, computers etc are compatible with those of 2020. 1b: Explain why you think the Mars Rovers would require human life support. 2a. Because the stars are distant, generally in the 10-1000 light years away, and moving in the same direction as the sun. 2b. Explain why you think 10,000 years worth of change would be apparent from day to day. 3. Explain why parallel train tracks shouldn't appear to diverge as they approach you. 4a. For the stated purpose of avoiding military competition in an inhospitable climate. 4b. It's readily downloadable. Specify which clause supposedly forbids travel to Antarctica. 5a. By dividing circumference by time as anybody can do. 5b. Explain where you think arithmetic should change with time. 6. It isn't and they don't. 7a. Explain how you think a prominent white grid on said screen would not interfere with it being a blue screen. 7b. If you it wouldn't, then explain why studios all use blue-only screens. 8a. Blue Marble (1972) and Earthrise were taken in single frame shots on an analogue camera. 8b. Himawari-8, Elektro-L and EPIC collectively produce multiple full hemisphere shots per hour. Explain why you think they would need to use a wide angle shots from their orbital distances. 9. How much curvature would you expect to see from a globe on the inside camera at that altitude and why? 10. The atmosphere alters the light as it enters it; it's how we get a blue sky during the day time. 11a. Provide an example of such editing. 11b. Explain why you you think video compression errors wouldn't occur. 12. Free-fall, lasting about 30 sec. Explain how you think it is possible to shoot a 30min video in 30 sec. 13a. The rocket slowed and stopped when the engines shut off as programmed. 13b. Explain why you think a camera impacting a dome at a few hundred miles an hour wouldn't even be jarred. 14a. It's the International Space Station, not National. That is why it is referred to as the ISS, not the NSS. 14b. Explain where you saw a can of tuna on the ISS. These are the obvious questions that FE'es are never able to answer. Prove me wrong.

  30. Motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris, two celstial poles - all visible to everyone with no explanation as to how governments can manipulate them. Research grants don't come direct from governments nor do they come with instructions as to what results to arrive at or not look at.

  31.  @freefreepalestine360  Provide the explanations for what I listed earlier.

  32. No, you don't see all the continents. Weather satellites are in geostationary orbit; their orbit time is the same as a sidereal day so they always remain over the same area on Earth. Earth's orbit around the sun leads to measurable stellar parallax. Why would the stars change in size when they are so distant? On a FE where stars are supposedly close such a change would be observable so why isn't it? What do you expect to see at night time on a globe? Which constellations are visible changes through the course of the year, hence the existence of a zodiac. The stars rotate in the course of the night. Different constellations are visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Not when the stars are distant and moving in the same general direction as the solar system. You need to get a better grasp of distance.

  33.  @briancooper2190  What do you think that Dubay has said that holds water? FE’ers keep calling on him as their guru but can’t produce any of the watertight reasoning they claim he has.

  34. That the universe originated from nothing is a common misconception, not a scientific theory. We do have evidence of expansion from a single point (Big Bang) but no knowledge of what initiated that or preceded it. Evolution has abundant evidence from many branches of science. I assume you are looking for evidence of rapid generation to generation change which is not what occurs.

  35.  @dubrulphilippe3815 How does water travel through a crazy straw without bending?

  36.  @beagreen6007  That the sun maintains a constant angular velocity & diameter around the entire world indicates it is a globe. Not difficult to find the answers; not knowing them does not mean they aren’t known. Ignorance is not knowledge.

  37. You’re assuming a very very small planet. The drop from an aircraft is only a few degrees; not something that is readily apparent to the unaided eye. Why would the horizon rise in a FE? Why would there be a horizon at all?

  38. What difference do you think it would have made?

  39.  @scottbaker9337  A set of tapes containing a copy of one video went astray; nothing else. When you can download the relevant documents it ought to be an obvious clue they still exist. 8”/mile^2 was a rule of thumb used by land surveyors. If assumed no elevation and no atmospheric refraction. Difficult as it is for some people understand, when to calculate how your should be able to see them you need to account for all factors. Byrd says nothing of the Earth being flat.

  40. She’s out of date; it’s what you used to claim. The vast bulk of the video concerns your reasoning (or lack thereof) and that hasn’t changed.

  41.  @LJ...69.  I doubt you can earn that much. Motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris matching latitude, constellations changing with latitude, two celestial poles and lunar eclipses having a circular shadow is how the ancient Greeks deduced the Earth was a sphere. We’re still waiting for a FE’er to divulge how you think they are compatible with a FE. I din’t doubt you won’t bother trying.

  42. If you have an alternative then you need to provide evidence to support that. Waving a Bible and proclaiming “God did it” is not evidence.

  43. Observe the effect of the relative positioning of Jupiter, moons & sun and formulate a testable hypothesis about the phases of our own moon. Refusing to do so because you “don’t accept the notion” is not logical.

  44. You realise sound bounces off surfaces?

  45.  @williamparisi5901  How do you think NASA influenced the ancient Greeks?

  46. What makes you think rivers ignore gravity?

  47. The truth has been out for millenia. The Earth is fully mapped & measured and in recent decades photographed countless times.

  48. There's multiple factors involved in your argument, not just gravity. Gravitational attraction is proportional to the mass of Earth & object; air has mass and is pulled towards Earth. Since air is denser than the helium the air is pulled more strongly and displaces the helium upwards; that is buoyancy, a property that is dependent on gravity. In the absence of gravity neither air nor helium are gogin to go anywhere. In the absence of an atmosphere the helium balloon would fall to the ground, soemthign that can be observed in a vacuum chamber. No FE'er yet has come up with an explanation as to how they think density (ratio f mass to volume) would act as a force or why objects would move in a consistent direction. If you feel you do know then try explaining. Do not refer me to Dubay; it doesn't explain it either. If you wish to put it down to magnetism then explain why everything would attracted by a magnetic Earth when magnets are observed to be selective.

  49. Motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris matching latitude, two celestial poles and constellations changing with latitude - all verifiable by any Tom, Dick or Harry and all have to be directly accounted for in a model.

  50. Dubay makes dumb claims that appeal to the gullible, not coherent arguments. Upward motion of the FE predates the FES and was pushed by FE’ers. FE’ers have serious difficulty thinking beyond the present. Still waiting on FE’ers to explain how The Establishment influenced the ancient Greeks or manipulates the sun’s motion.
