How does water observe its environment, make decisions and move itself?
4
@JohnChilders-x9t That’s what water would need to do to level itself. How does it manage them? Have big a container did you use to check for 0.0144 degrees/mile curvature?
4
@justinsaunders3932 How does water observe its environment, make decisions and move itself? How exactly does an equation for a parabola match a circle? Why would you need a container to separate 0 atm pressure from 0 atm pressure? How far does the horizon need to drop to qualify as having dropped?
4
How many times by how many people in how many places does a virus need to be isolated to qualify as having been isolated?
4
If there is no gravitational attraction then why would increasing an object’s mass increase its attraction?
4
@HaileAozfie So why would that stop you taking a photo of it?
4
The atmosphere ritates with the Earth Correction for the Coriolis effect is gradually done over the journey as the plane continuslky compensates for weather conditions. Still waiting on any if you how you instantly identify CGI. By ejecting the heat shield.
4
As in a pedal dynamo or are you wanting to be effortless? Some cancers, yes. Abundant (no it was not lost or erased). Coronaviruses are a family of viruses and they exist naturally. The suffix means “study of”.
4
We’re talking about the shape of a physical object, not explanations for how something works.
4
Dubay has been repeatedly debunked; how many times in how many ways does he need to be demonstrated wrong? Criticising methods and reasoning is not an ad hominem. That is impugning somebody’s character rather than addressing the argument.
4
@edwardchege2623 8”/mile^2 doesn’t calculate how far you can see and the shit was taken from the top of mountain, the subject being the top of another mountain projecting above the horizon. When curvature, elevation & atmospheric refraction are all accounted for it works. You should be able to see several times that distance on a FE; where are those photos?
4
@edwardchege2623 You need to read the whole sentence in the NASA paper you referred to; it is quite specific why they ignored various factors, including flexibility in the airframe and fuel consumption.
4
Regardless of how intelligent each of us may be, we are capable of doing stupid things. The level of denial required for belief in FE as well as the marked double standards for what qualifies as evidence is rightfully referred to as stupid.
4
@ultimateclotiluver It isn't stupid to ask how we know the Earth is a globe; having been told how and had it explained to them how they can test it for themselves, the refusal to accept evidence and insist that observable reality is wrong is stupid. It doesn't how well you know them or how much you like them, it is still stupid.
4
@1WWJD Elevation is the variation above or below sea level. Curvature is the change in angle of perpendicular. You’re confusing the two.
4
Which one are you talking about?
4
@tnaplastic2182 You need to explain all that to your fellow FE’ers since they assume the photons run out of energy and stop.
4
@kipthecourtjester "It’s perspective" Yet the sun maintains a constant angular diameter when perspective & FE would mean a markedly variable one. How does that work? (I've done the research, so don't try that approach.)
4
@kipthecourtjester "I don’t need to answer his elementary questions" I've done the research; no FE'ers provide an answer. You all claim to have the knowledge and understanding to do so but all of you decline to answer. My observation is that I would have to resort chair, rope & thumbscrews to get an answer out of a FE'er.
4
@kipthecourtjester "This isn’t a Q and A" I'm doing the research you want me to: I'm asking the people who profess to have the answers. Why can't any of you answer?
4
@kipthecourtjester "I did answer" You declined to answer. "Prove to me you are sincere" I don't waste time asking questions I don't want answers to. "Go listen to Weir or Dubay" I have; they don't explain. None of the gurus do. "I’ve converted dozens to an understanding of the plane" By avoiding explaining how it could work?
4
It’s more that they have double standards in deciding on the validity of evidence. If it goes against their beliefs then it is automatically wrong while if it supports it then it must be correct regardless of who did it, how screwy their methods were or how obviously it differs from observable reality. It could be called Jusgotterby’s Razor 😊
4
There would be no horizons on a hollow Earth and the sun would be perpetually visible.
4
I do note that many FE'ers have difficulty conceiving there can be more than one observer in the world and certainly have problems with the concept that someone can know & understand something they don't. Also their brains can't seem to progress beyond more than one variable at a time; ask them to deal with two or more simultaneously and they start squealing.

@cabbagefart7432 You need to provide an example of something being visible at 50 miles when standing on the beach. If you’re going to claim a particular photo from Hawaii then looking down on the beach does not qualify as being on the beach. While standing on the beach (your feet in the surf) objects will start to disappear at approximately 3 miles. That is what is observed. If you think you can see something different then you need to provide evidence to back that, not prattle about how enlightened you are. 360 degrees divided by 25,000 miles gives 0.0144 degrees/mile. Hiw many degrees curvature per mile are you expecting to see? On a FE you should be able to see several hundred miles. Provide evidence that you can.
4
“They found other evidence that they believe more” That would be the Real Evidence that they claim they want us to see but that they refuse to divulge?
4
@TheCollages Try flying directly from Perth to Santiago on a FE map.
4
What’s your technique for identifying CGI? All FE’ers claim to have a faultless technique but none of you can ever describe it. Unless you have criteria to work to how can you distinguish between real and CGI? Blue Marble was shot in 1972, long per-dating CGI. Movement of the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris, two celestial poles and accurate mapping if the surface all indicate the Earth is spheroid. If you think otherwise then you need plausible explanations for all those factors. The body is insensitive to motion; we are sensitive to acceleration and infer motion from the acceleration and changes in environment.
4
It’s explained to Don Quixote in the first few OPs and his replies are “deny, deny, deny”. Like most FEers he is visualising curvature as a hill on a horizontal baseline, the projectile having to be fired over it. He doesn’t understand that at the speeds discussed you don’t need a pronounced arc and assumes perfectly level. He’s ignoring the effect of gravity. He assumes Coriolis force could not be accounted first in the calculations prior to firing. He doesn’t understand that guided doesn’t mean the target has to be in sight of the gun.
4
The aim being to get ever closer to the truth. You can eliminate what is impossible by disproving what is wrong. The notion that the Earth is flat was disproved at the beginning.
4
@chrisskully1228 It does. What is difficult for sime people to grasp is: A. Gravity is not an irresistible force. B. More than one force can act simultaneously.
4
@chrisskully1228 You aren’t going to answer my questions?
4
@shaunsteele8244 Motion if the sun, horizons, angle to Polaris matching latitude, constellations changing with latitude, two celestial poles and lunar eclipses having a circular shadow. Explain how you think those are compatible with a FE when you predict otherwise.
4
Has it occurred to you that the documentary is a scam?
4
1. A constantly accelerating FE was the model until recently, having displaced the constant velocity Earth and in turn being displaced by the “just does” model. 2. “That isn’t the correct model” is a routine reply from FE’ers but none are willing to produce this Real Model so we are obliged to work with what they verbally claim. If you possess this Real Model then kindly produce it.
4
None.
4
How does light illuminate the surroundings without travelling away from the source?
4
Because the preventative medicine (vaccine) did not precede COVID-19; you can’t make a vaccine against a virus that doesn’t yet exist. Supermarkets are not the one and only source of illness. FE’ers have no concept of how wrong they are.
4
@jordanemede They emergency landings make perfect sense on a globe; FE'ers have problems understanding that direct paths on a globe do not translate to straight lines on a projection. Meanwhile there are direct flights between southern continents that would be beyond the planes' operational capacities on a FE and never an explanation from the FE'ers who claim to have it figured. You mean the Gleason azimuthal projection that is hailed as the working FE map and not when the errors are pointed out to you? The UN flag displays the member countries. Do you really think an organisation committed to hiding a FE would put a FE logo on their flag? Byrd said that the then unexplored area of Antarctica was similar in size to the US. He was very explicit but apparently not explicit enough for FE'ers. Still waiting on FE'ers to identify these pilots. How difficult is it if there are tonnes of them? "they treat it as flat and stationary in the military as well" You mean when they take into account curvature & Coriolis effect for long range shots? Or are you referring to documents about aerodynamics that explicitly simplify the flight maths to airflow?
4
@danncorbit3623 Don’t confuse scientific theories and hypotheses.
4
1. It’s the old FE explanation for why objects fall. Replaced by “density is a force but not a force” and that in turn by “things want to move down”. 2. They noted the periodicity of such events and could calculate when the next event would probably occur. They had no means to actually predict with certainty or know where would be affected. 3. Your senses can’t detect radio waves. Does WiFi exist? 4. Refraction & elevation, things the that Thinkers ignore. Why is theFE’ers asking questions never consider how far they would be able to see and why?
4
Why not produce the Real Proofs?
4
Traceable signal to, on and from the moon, detectable equipment left there and verifiable material brought back.

@jamesi2018 Moon rocks have been distributed to geologists around the world; nobody has found a fake moon rock. A personal gift from the then US Ambassador to a former Dutch Prime Minister was petrified wood. Both Dutch Goodwill moon rocks a reconfirmed genuine. One set of tapes containing one copy of one video went astray. No videos were wiped. Copies exist around the world. How can a robot place a reflector on the moon without landing on the moon? How can a robot bring rocks back without leaving the moon? "dont blow smoke up my arse" The people feeding you half-facts aren't blowing smoke up your arse? Not questioning what they tell you is "thinking for yourself"?
4
@jamesi2018 You think NASA ran Radio Moscow?
4
Disagreeing with consensus does not make you right or your work superior or uncorrupted.
4
Scientific papers lay out the methods, data & conclusion; try faking data and it will become apparent. The public receive a very distilled view of a huge amount of work that can be reported by people wanting to out their own interpretation on it.
4
The sun has about a 1000 times the mass of Jupiter; they are not comparable in size. The sheer mass of the sun is why it has priority. You realise that we can measure the distance to the other planets? That the closest Venus comes to Earth is 42 million km, over a 1000 times further away than geocentric orbit? Do you have a problem understanding scale? "the ocean trickles down the side to the abyss of space" And somehow falls into space without leaving the planet? You do realise it is possible to travel all around the world?
4
A disc accelerating upwards was the popular model until recently. Explain how density (the ratio of mass to volume) could act as a force and why in a consistent direction.
4
There’s asking questions and there’s being prepared to acknowledge the answers.
