Ye gods, that intro page is a piece of work. Could do with one small tweak, though:


Throughout the years it has become a duty of each Flat Earth Society member, to meet the common round earther in the open, avowed, and unyielding rebellion; to declare that his reign of error and confusion is over; and that henceforth, like a falling dynasty, he must shrink and disappear, leaving the throne and the kingdom of science and philosophy to those awakeningdiminished intellects whose numbers are constantly increasing, and whose march is rapid and irresistible.

There, now I can agree somewhat.

Wow,

You're telling me.


using this logic we can't have water pressure without a container either

1. Logic, eh? :rolleyes: Post the Syllogism...?
2. False Equivalence Fallacy. Water (Liquid) is NOT a GAS ...even though they're both arbitrarily classified as Fluids.
3. Show water Pressure with Water CONTAINER-LESS...?


Same for pilots and mountaineers, and anyone that lives in Denver that tell us that atmospheric pressure decreases as you increase in altitude.
Click to expand...


Non-Sequitur Fallacy resulting from a Straw Man. The mere fact that Air Pressure decreases with altitude doesn't IPSO FACTO Validate a Vacuum attached to a Non-Vacuum. :cool:
You let me know when you're ready to discuss the ACTUAL Argument. K?



Seems that there are a lot of people in on this hoax.

Alot of people indoctrinated then adhering to Fairytales.

Do you really expect anything sensible from someone who believes the earth is flat?

1. Appeal to Ridicule (Fallacy).

2. Coming from someone who 'believes' (Short List):

a. Ink/Paper/Glue Molecules can Author Technical Instruction Manuals/Blue-Prints.
b. Something can come from Nothing, "Naturally".
c. Giraffes come from Bacteria...if given enough time.
d. Can't even explain "THE" in word or thought without contradicting your Fairytale Scientifically Falsified 'Religion' ... Philosophical Naturalism/Realism aka: atheism.
e. Lives on a Spinning-Ball hurling through space at 1,907,600 mph in several different directions, simultaneously!!

Perhaps "EXTREME CAUTION" is advised in assessing the 'sensibility' of others until you deal with those Personal Shroom-Induced Comas.

I hope everyone saw the map on there, and the caveats which stop anyone actually using it to rubbish the claims it makes.

1. You have completely misunderstood the appeal to motive fallacy. For it to apply in this case, your motive for promoting a flat earth would be questioned in an effort to undermine your "argument".

2. Questioning what possible motive the entire scientific world could have for constructing an insanely elaborate conspiracy to lie about the geometry of this planet is perfectly reasonable. In fact, it's essential.

3. I have no idea what Shangri-la has to do with the motive for lying about Earth not being flat, not being the center of reality and gravity not existing. Please explain.

Yes, in fact, it does exactly that. "Vacuum" is an inexact term when used in this context to describe outer space, where the pressure is in fact non-zero but many orders of magnitude below atmospheric pressure; typically it falls in the range below 10-10 atmospheres. The fact, therefore, that air pressure in the atmosphere varies with altitude demonstrates that pressure differences in gas do not require a solid physical boundary. There is no special exception to this finding that prevents it applying to arbitrarily low pressures.

Also note: just because they say LOS, doesn't mean the missile magically disappears if the target dips below the horizon.
Click to expand...


The LOS is between the Ship's Tracking Radar and The Target. If the Target is below "The Horizon" :rolleyes: ...then the Target couldn't be Illuminated by the Tracking Radar to begin with.




You fire it, you keep LOS, if you lose LOS, oh well.
Click to expand...


Unbelievable. You don't FIRE IT unless you have LOS to the Target by the Tracking Radar, Skipper.
If you lose LOS... You MISS. It's a Football Bat



And LOS can be pretty high above sea level at 35 miles, including curvature.
Click to expand...


LOS is from the Tracking Radar "ON THE SHIP". Is it your contention that ships are 35 Miles above Sea Level? :cool:

Not 'believe', we "KNOW"; Big Difference.

There are no Pictures "Photographs" of the Earth merely CGI (Computer Generated Images); Two very different animals.

What is your basis for this assertion, aside from the fact that the pictures, if genuine, would prove Flat Earthers to be wrong?

Has there been a response from flat earther's to Neil Degrasse Tyson's tweet?
https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/934906611088359426

In preparing for this question I took a look at what flat Earther theory has to say about eclipses. I only found a video about solar eclipses.
Click to expand...


I have one for you...

How can a Total Solar Eclipses project a Path of Totality Shadow... 30 TIMES SMALLER than the MOON'S DIAMETER ???

There's NO POSSIBLE way an object can project a Shadow "SMALLER" than it's own Diameter !!
It's Kooky Talk.

Moreover, if with a Total Solar Eclipse the Path of Totality Shadow is 70 Miles Wide (SEE: Last August)...THEN...with Lunar Eclipses, the Shadow of the Earth on the Moon should be... 256 FRIGGIN MILES IN DIAMETER !!! :eye-poppi



The explanation there seems to be that the sun rotates around the flat earth above the plane that the moon is in. Periodically the moon gets between the sun and the Earth and blocks the the sun's light from reaching earth.

How are Lunar eclipses explained if the flat earth solar eclipse theory is correct? What blocks the sunlight from reaching the moon during a lunar eclipse if the sun is in a plane above the moon?
Click to expand...


1. This isn't a "Scientific Theory". By the mere fact that you categorized it as such, reveals you couldn't Pass 5th Grade General Science.

2. I can't say for sure, and neither can you. Watch...

a. What Phenomenon was Observed...?
b. Post the Formal Scientific Hypothesis then EXPERIMENT that validates your claim...?
c. Highlight the "Independent Variable" that was used in the TEST...?
d. Post the Null Hypothesis that was Rejected/Falsified...?

Go ahead...?

You sure about that? Because you posted an article that said that they bounce radar signals off the ionsphere.

Sphere again! That word just keep coming up in all the stuff you post.

It's in a Container. What's next... How to make a Sandwich?


Liquids have to be kept in a container!
Click to expand...

Correct. But they don't have to be "Enclosed" (360).



All those pictures of the sea must be fake because it must really be under glass.
Click to expand...


Really, Why?


I wonder why atmospheric pressure falls with altitude?
Click to expand...


Begging The Question Fallacy: How do you have Atmospheric Pressure (Gas Pressure) to begin with WITHOUT a Container...?

Oh, and gravity doesn't exist either. Obviously.
Click to expand...


Which 'gravity'... Einstienian or Newtonian ??

a. Is gravity a Force?
b. Is 'gravity' a Scientific Law or Scientific Theory?
c. What is the CAUSE of 'gravity'...?

Geometry. See http://discovermagazine.com/2017/sept/solar-eclipse-geometry, for example.

Daniel said:

Click to expand...

Again, geometry; if the illuminating object is larger than the object casting the shadow, then the cross-section of the shadow is inevitably smaller than the cross-section of the object.

Daniel said:

And again, geometry; see http://www.eclipsegeeks.com/geometry-of-a-lunar-eclipse/4563655735, for example.

You could do the arithmetic yourself, but I'm pretty sure you're too lazy.

Try moving the object closer to a larger light source and see what happens to the shadow.

I think you will find a "kooky" result!
