Flat Earthers - Here is your answer ?

Now if half of you actually watched the video's you might grab a clue or two or maybe even three

Yeah.
But it's true that you can fool stupid people all of the time. Harder to fool people that look at the sky at night.

Hah. Smart people would look at the sky in the daytime, when there's enough light to actually see stuff.

Stars can't be seen at night? You are breaking some serious... umm...... new ground here!

You're such a Cantankerous little man aren't you, 'smile'. You seem angry all the time i find that amusing.

a reply to: awareness10
Sorry it comes across that way. I'm usually LMAO when posting about this topic. Sarcastic? Yeah, a little bit but rarely angry.

At any point during the hours of videos you posted is my question about Polaris addressed? If you tell me where it is I'll watch it.

Flat earthers cant afford Flight Tickets.

They can't be seen as well. Not enough light.

I should know better than to ask, I really should, but what do you mean by that? Any rationale, source, anything at all to back that up?

Rationale? Plenty. Sources? A little bit thinner on the ground, to be honest.

It's just plain common sense. You see things better in the daylight.

I see what you're saying. I remember being in the woods one night and dropped my flashlight. Searched and searched, couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning I went back to look for it and since it was daylight I had no problem seeing it because it was still shining. I couldn't see it in the dark because it had fallen in some leaves leaving only the lens exposed.

I watched the videos and kept an open mind. Most all of the points raised to why one would believe the world as not a sphere can easily be over come by limited research and an unbiased approach. The only principle in the theory of FE that I cannot dismiss as possible conspiracy is the conjectures of maned vessel going beyond the Van Allen belt. I cannot verify either way, due to the fact of not having any personal or widely amateur collected proof.

A friend of mine recently became a temporary FE theorist. To be honest, upon first hearing his arguments, I felt he had a strong case. This is what led me to research from both sides. Personally the idea of a flat Earth would be flattering, an idea of purpose would be nearly a given. Unfortunately faith of purpose and an infinite in-out and every thing between universe seems to be what I'm observing.

If the FE camp and the HE camp came together with the discussions of old maps, admiral Byrd and a grand conspiracy it might actually reveal something new to argue about. Well at least a well funded expedition to the south pole.

I love ATS and all the new enthusiast level members like myself, who are seeking the right question, that leads to The Answer. Many of the harden conspiritist unlike myself, I thank. Though you have the burden of correcting the same misconceptions over and over, its an education offered nearly exclusively here. Stay diligent, your attitudes are a learned meem too.

I can't for the life of me see any sign of a flat earth anywhere
in the universe. I look at the moon and the sun everyday.
They've never once been flat. When I went skydiving, I could see
perfectly the curvature.

I wish the earth was flat so I could throw some people off!
86 some asses up in here!

Ski trips to the South "Pole" are a joke. You have to cross Antarctica from coast to coast to prove the earth is round. Nobody has done that.

Now you're just taking the mickey. Artificial light doesn't work the same way.

If you didn't want to have a serious conversation about this, you could have just said.

I tried to be open to a serious conversation. Your replies seemed to be not so serious. They also make no sense. If you have something serious to say then say it in a serious manner. Be clear.

still waiting for an explaination for observations of the terminator line - that conforms to flat earth claims - AND physics

You should look into cryogenic preservation. It's gonna be a looooong wait!

Do you know someone who has satellite TV? Do you have a GPS in your car?

Geostationary satellites provide both of these services. Something that would be impossible with a flat earth.

Also. People in Australia can't receive American Satellite TV. Why? Because the EARTH blocks line of sight to the satellite over the United States.

If you live in Texas, you point your satellite dish at roughly a 48 degree angle to receive signal.

If you live in North Dakota, you point your dish at roughly a 34 degree angle to receive signal. Why? Because the earth, being a BALL, has curvature. The curvature means the people nearer to the equator have to point their dishes higher. Draw a ball, and put a dot out a fair distance from that ball. Next, draw two lines. One from near the equator of the ball to the dot, and another a fair bit higher on the ball to the dot.

Notice how the angles of attack differ?

SCIENCE.

Then you probably think this is BS:

Light is light. Starlight is natural? Torch light is not? It's all photons and they all follow the same laws of physics.

Ugh.. facts and logic in a world that isn't real? I think not, but thankyou for entertaining me i needed the break.
