  1.  @1FeistyKitty  The debate was settled millenia ago. Today there are just gullible people like yourself. The Japanese map was a hoax; there’s no evidence of it’s existence.

  2.  @GrahamA63 So basically you know sod all about the laws of motion and think that ignorance bestows profound insight on you?

  3. That would enable you to see much further than you actually can and sunrise & sunset would be the same time everywhere on Earth.

  4. There was never any FE model; nobody had tried working out the shape. However there was a common assumption that it was flat. Only in the 19th century when Rowbotham resurrected FE was there any need for a FE model.

  5. You haven’t considered the sun being distant to Earth.

  6.  @rogeriopires5352  South American flights are typically via Santiago. You need to check which main airports tun the direct intercontinental flights rather than assume they do.

  9.  @TheCollages You still haven’t said what the FE definition of empirical evidence is or explained what you think an assumed calculation is or why you think all measurements are assumed calculations. How difficult can it be?

  10. And yet the globe explains everything and is predictive while FE’ers can’t even explain the motion of the sun across the sky.

  11.  @Theomatikalli  Much as Tatone says. Your brain is taking shortcuts based on prior experience, the chequerboard pattern remaining prominent; the expectation of the lighter squares remaining lighter than the dark squares is a shortcut.

  12. Explain how density can act as a force and why in a consistent direction. Why would Antarctica being a continent or ice shelf make a difference to the Antarctic Treaty? What evidence do you have for a magnetic monopole when all magnets are dipoles? Byrd described Antarctica as a continent; how does that differ from a continent? How did NASA influence the ancient Greeks? How did you ascertain that the sun & moon are local? Why does their observed motion disagree with FE predictions? Why is landing on the moon impossible?

  13. If you abuse oxycontin rather than simply use it.

  14. She doesn't seem worked up about the subject. Those billions of people generally aren't denying observable reality or trying to disprove reality.

  15. Why would amateur non-scientist claims have valid arguments to back them? When they automatically reject explanations why should people waste time providing them? What is it about Covid that you think reverses classical medical science? Sex is biological, gender is sociological/psychological.

  16. Our senses are very limited and easily deceived. Magicians earn a living from deceiving our senses.

  19. Still no answer to what these “popular discrepancies” are?

  20.  @rlupara  Be brave and be the first to produce the FE model that accounts for those.

  21.  @markmassive1  You think simple division is sh*t?

  22.  @yestervue4697  All with distortion from projecting a 3D shape into a 2D surface and all able to be folded or rolled for convenience. Still waiting for even the crudest FE map.

  23.  @SuperMoshady  Your questions have been answers. several each by several people. That you refuse to listen is your problem.

  24.  @SuperMoshady  Measuring pressure requires a surface, not a container. You have been repeatedly that the gas’s movement is a balance of the forces acting on it,not that gravity is too weak to affect gases. The example you asked about was hot air rising; that cooler air moves download to displace it has escaped you.

  25.  @trailbossdan1  He desperately wants gravity to not exist and for there to be a solid barrier between atmosphere & space. He will try to interpret anything we say to fit with his desires and concludes he’s an insightful genius when he can’t.

  26.  @SuperMoshady  The confusion is all in your head, seemingly intentionally so. You're obfuscating because you are so desperate for your idiocy to be right.

  27. I couldn’t see the Chrysler building from the Twin Towers because of the pollution.

  28.  @wattsupwiththat1463  Let me guess - you were born after 2000?

  29.  @mev680  The joke is that while you greatly increase your knowledge & expertise in a subject as you obtain an MSc & PhD you also become increasingly aware of how much isn't known. In terms of flat earth it doesn't take much brain power or effort to disprove the notion; motion of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris and two celestial poles , all of which you can verify for yourself, can't be faked by any government and are totally incompatible with a FE. If, like many FE'ers, you wish to profess you have greater knowledge & understanding of how it all really works then be novel and actually explain how they could work on a FE.

  30.  @cloned76 I’m asking you to produce the “real” maths for calculating perspective. Do so or shut up. As I already pointed out, you need to take into account elevation & refraction when determining how far you should see.

  31.  @cloned76  Produce the maths or shut up.

  32.  @cloned76  Stop prancing around and produce the maths.

  33.  @jordanzlotolow8254 Motion of the sun & moon, horizons, angle to Polaris matching latitude, constellations changing with latitude & season, two celestial poles - all readily observable by anybody since man first looked up. How is that hearsay?

  34.  @jordanzlotolow8254  If FE’ers are so well-informed then why can’t you produce the Real Answers? Why the reliance on canards?

  35. Galileo observed them to be orbiting Jupiter, something which contradicted the geocentric model of everything orbiting Earth.

  36. You mean FE pseudoscience.

  37.  @youngtravels4660  I’m quite familiar with what qualifies as empirical evidence in science. FEers evidently use a different definition since by mystery definition you reject all forms of measurement and seemingly any pure observation that disagrees with your beliefs. Why not provide the definition or is the hush-hush secret never to be told?

  38. He was referring to a very slight deviation from a perfect sphere. For most intents and purposes the deviation is totally insignificant. You may note the people repeating “pear-shaped” never out numbers to it.

  39.  @jonom5622  They don't. Blue Marble was shot in a single frame on a film camera. There are currently multiple satellites taking single-frame shots every hour. Some prats think the Blue Marble 2 being a composite of LEO shots means every photo ever ever ever taken just gotta be a composite. Artists impressions are used where photos are not practical, e.g., close-ups of satellites, alien landscapes; their use does not mean each & every photos used just gotta be fake. Clear?

  40. Down is towards the centre of the Earth, ie, the Earth’s centre of gravity.

  41. You’ve fallen for the tobacco companies’ ploy: find the dissenters, raise their profile and give the impression that there is substantial science on their side.

  42. The geocentric system was based on a globe Earth.

  43.  @incorrect2968  "100% of that velocity is turned into the structural damage of my toe" Velocity is simply a measure of metres per second; it isn't going to damage anything. The structural damage requires force. Force arises from the deceleration of the block as it makes contact with your toe. That is basic physics. "I got this quote: "It depends on the drag coefficient of the body." And the meaning and significance of drag coefficient passed you by. Again, this is basic physics. "Answer: Not sure that's the case" It takes force to pulverise the block. Force arises from the deceleration of the block as it hits the ground. With a high enough velocity there will be enough force. "My intuition could be wrong" Intuition is unreliable; that is why you need to actually calculate the forces, not intuit them. "Answer: My friend, this line of argument should alarm you of your own biase." It's basic physics. "Explosives where used in all three or none depending on the view) started pulverizing almost emediatly" The generation of dust does not mean everything has been pulverised or powderised; that is your erroneous assumption. "Explosives where used in all three" Mysteriously working silently. "There are several videos displaying a significant earthquake shortly before the collapse" Which mysteriously were not picked up by any seismic monitors. The picture shows a sheared beam. That simply requires sufficient force, not sabotage. The buildings weren't constructed like a bird cage. "the buildings where designed to withstand fires" etc You're assuming that because the structure was designed to handle excess force or a fire that it would be able to handle anything. As I have said a number of times, you need actually deal with the numbers, not make intuitive generalisations.

  44. What exceptions to the rule of gravity? Your eyes detect the light, the brain senses the stimulation and renders it to a form your consciousness understands. That includes inverting the image so you perceive the correct orientation.

  45. You like cherry-picking to prop up your beliefs whole preaching to others that we need to prove something?

  46.  @carlharrison1765  You want a close-up distant shot? Do you want an equatorial shot where the poles are just going to be white trimming or a simultaneous shot from above each pole? Are you going to complainnyou can’t see the rotation in a still shot? Equinox shots from EPIC.

  47.  @hershelpogue1745  I said the direction of the sun moving through the compass points, not that shadows were magnetic. Light, you, shadow. Your shadow lies away from the light sources. As the sun moves so does your shadow. No mystery. Compasses align with the ambient magnetic field; all magnetic fields are bipolar. Compasses do not orient with a particular pole.

  48.  @hershelpogue1745  You’re assuming everybody sees the sun from the same angle; you are visualising the Earth has either a flat surface or a cylinder since you are not considering the change in angle that comes from the observers latitude.

  49.  @hershelpogue1745  Gravity. Not a mystery. That you don’t understand how does not make it a mystery.

  50. It was believed to be moving upwards until it dawned on some that would actually lead to people being in a weightless environment so for a while it became accelerating upwards.
