  1. It would be nice of FE'ers actually did check before they posted their claims but experiments and multiple factors do seem to be beyond their mental abilities.

  2. Steve Forster It’s your elevation above sea level that determines how far you can see, not elevation above the ground. The existence of gravity is not untestable, eg, Cavendish experiment. The variables that can be manipulated are mass & distance; that you can’t manipulate the gravitational constant does not disprove it.

  3. Jose Ramos Rotation is measured as revolutions per min or radians per second not mph; nothing rotates in a straight line. Centrifugal force at the equator is <0.5% that of gravity and produces a measurable and measured effect. Explain what you think would pull the water off the globe?

  4. Mystic Wolf All the experiments were looking for evidence of aether and failed to find any. Explain how you think failure to obtain evidence of aether’s existence proves aether’s existence. NASA’s document: read the whole paragraph and grasp the context.

  5. They are censured per se; the search algorithms select debunking videos preferentially. The FE arguments are debunked repeatedly and a globe demonstrated but some people like the idea of being one of the “enlightened few” than actually thinking.

  6. What do you think would people off the globe? Everybody walks upright according to the direction of gravity at their location; there is no universal down. Gravity’s existence was demonstrated by the Cavendish experiment, reproduced countless times with similar results. We can bounce radio signals and lasers off the moon; it’s solid. Even a cheap telescope would show you other planets clearly.

  7. The oblation is tiny compared to the size of the Earth; there wouldn’t be a difference readily perceptible to the eye.

  8. The whole galaxy (and consequently all the stars within it) is rotating in the same direction and stars are quite distant to each other; changes arise from the variation in motion between the different stars and take 10,000's of years to be apparent to the eye.

  9. A natural extension of the Apollo-Soyuz link-up :-)

  10. As the cowboys ride off into the setting sun they appear to get smaller but remaining fully visible while sun remains the apparent size while disappearing from the bottom up; this apparently is the same effect.

  11. Mat7can 10 No, I’m being sarcastic about FE’ers and their inconsistencies.

  12. The variation in elevation is tiny compared to the size of the planet, Everest being 5 miles high compared to the 3900 miles of Earth's radius.

  13. Shiota Everest is huge compared to you & me (I’m not helping you climb it 😊) but a tiny bump compared to the Earth. The deviation away from a perfect sphere is essentially zero with regards to the surface contours.

  14. I think they’re booked on one of the Antarctic cruises; they want to look at the continental ice sheets at the coast and claim they have seen the ice wall. No explanations will be forthcoming how the ship got there or why it could circle Antarctica so quickly.

  15. Steve Forster Gravity is an apparent force in relativity; gravity still exists though it is determined by motion across curved space-time. The balloon is displaced upwards by the air. In a vacuum chamber the balloon falls.

  16. Steve Forster Explain how you think density can act as a force and why in a consistent direction.
