Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Well of course it isn't perfectly flat, I'm not a dumbass >.> I said it wasn't flat because it's round. You ever heard of google earth? Well guess what, they took pictures of the earth from space and guess what it looks like, a sphere! :O And don't go and say it's not real because do you even know how long it would take to photoshop the whole earth?

Of course it's not real. I believe in the Bible, not some website

You do know what a facepalm is?

Also, you can't just assume that I have a weight issue because you don't understand my username.

No. Is it some sort of dessert that you really like? Does it having chocolate or cream on it?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH your so funny. Isn't that the funniest thing you've ever heard?

God you people are so immature and are some of the dumbest people ever. I can't wait until you all die and realize you've wasted your whole life following a load of BS.

If God doesn't exist, when I die my brain will just turn off and I'll never know if I've wasted my life. If he does, than when you die you are going to hell.

There is no way you have tried experiment #1.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

I'm going to go all the way back to the original post and point out the problems with these experiments.

First, with jumping the momentum carries you forwards. This is even true inside the experimental truck: if you jump inside a car there's no problem, just like if you jump inside an airplane. The only reason that's not true outside the truck is the air pushing against you.

As for the second experiment, the force of gravity pulls you to the center of the earth. We've seen how this behaves from space.

As for the third, it shows a basic misunderstanding of geometry. If your line of sight is a tangent to the earth where the point of intersection is the horizon, the higher you go, the steeper the tangent line.

A more immediately observable method of determining that the earth is round is the fact that we bounce radio waves off the ionosphere: if the earth was flat then this wouldn't be necessary as a radio wave could reach anywhere in the world without bouncing off the atmosphere.

The fact that we've been to the moon also demonstrates the roundness of the earth as the moon orbits the earth (hence the cycles of the moon), and to orbit it it requires a central point of gravity, which can only come about via a round earth because mass attracted to each other naturally forms a sphere, and for obvious reasons if you simply visualize it.

I will let you into a little secret. If you read all the posts you will see everything has been answered before.

What makes you think radio waves cannot bounce on a flat earth. Since they already do. If you think about it, radio waves will get lost if the earth was spherical.

the radio waves bounce of the atmosphere, not the earth. Also, can you give me a recap on what's been posted? I know it's obnoxious of me to ask, but the thread is hundreds of pages long.

Radio waves cannot bouce off just the atmosphere, they also bounce on the earth. Here is a simple diagram with common radio waves.



Although this thread is long, it is not as much to read as the Bible. God created the world. He created the earth flat.

I will advise you to read the thread as there are many Bible quotes given which demonstrate God made the earth flat.

Using bible quotes assumes that the bible is truth which has not been proven.

And yes, radio waves must bounce off both the earth and the ionosphere. This in no way disproves my point

The Bible is the truth and it has been proven. I have replied to comments like this in other threads. You may care to use the search function.

If you look at the diagram I gave, it shows the waves bouncing around on the earth. If the earth was spherical, the waves will eventually get bigger and go away from the earth.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

How can radio waves bounce off an "ionosphere"? They have to bounce off something solid like the earth. It's crazy to think that radio waves travel to a certain height in air and then magically bounce to the ground. That's not science.

There's nothing about radio that proves a spherical earth. Nothing.

And how do you explain 'travelling around the globe'? If an airplane flies in one direction, it will have made a tour around the world.

Travelling around the globe is impossible, since the earth is not spherical.

The earth is round like a disc. So you could fly around the disc.

With that being said, it is totally impossible since planes cannot carry that large amount of fuel.
