Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 10th, 2018 1:05 PM Author: Maize Regret Boistinker some flat earther argued that when standing on a certain mountain, the skyscrapers in new york shouldn't be visible because of curvature, but they are.
seems like there should be an easy way to disprove flat earth without needing to take a picture in space |

Date: May 10th, 2018 1:39 PM Author: Maize Regret Boistinker this seems to be the low iq response. i'm not advocating flat earth, just asking the easiest way to disprove it without space images that they'd claim were doctored.
so do you have an answer shitlib? |
|
Date: May 10th, 2018 2:06 PM Author: Vibrant Church Building When you look at objects like planets and stars in space.
Are they flat discs? Or spheres?

|
Date: May 10th, 2018 1:41 PM Author: free-loading supple electric furnace circlehead I know that flat earthers have a fairly robust array of weird, superficial arguments but I forget what they are.
How do they reconcile the fact that ships disappear on the horizon? Some sort of lensing effect?
Anyway I'm a skeptical dude but if I have to pick a side, I feel pretty confident going with the one that doesn't make earth a unique flat infinite object since it's creation by god. |
|
Date: May 10th, 2018 1:45 PM Author: Maize Regret Boistinker think they argue that it doesn't disappear and that if you have a telescope you can see it.
but yeah that seems like a good experiment.
to me the mountain experiment seems like it would be the easiest. just go to the top some mountain where you should be able to see another mountain or skyscraper, but can't because of the curvature of the earth |
|
Date: May 10th, 2018 1:54 PM Author: free-loading supple electric furnace circlehead You can do those experiments. Here's the flat earth response.
It's all perspective and the human eye can't perceive infinity therefor a vanishing point is created at some particular distance from the observer at which everything becomes indistinguishable (best paraphrase I got.)
They quote an observer report from the 19th century as evidence. |

Date: September 3rd, 2018 12:53 AM Author: vermilion feces The more evidence you offer the more convoluted they will make their flat earth theory to admit all new evidence.
You can't disprove it. You can just consider them retards and move on.
Remember: you can modify shitloads of TTT theories to make them consistent with all available evidence (e.g., "humans can exist without oxygen, except for on Earth and the moon where oxygen is necessary" as opposed to the simpler "humans need oxygen to survive"). But the scientific method is that you accept the SIMPLEST explanation that is consistent with all available evidence, and the flat earthers will have much more convoluted theories
This is, incidentally, what happened with heliocentrism vs geocentrism: geocentrism required some insanely complex motions of the heavenly bodies, while heliocentrism simplified their motions to just one ellipse each |

Date: September 3rd, 2018 12:58 AM Author: Costumed Abode Heliocentrism requires hella gymnastics.
