Flat earth is flat out fucked.
How is it that in the year 2016 we have an alarmingly large population of people who honestly believe the earth is flat?!?! These people are popping up everywhere and their numbers are growing despite the fact that there is literally a metric fuck-ton of evidence to support the FACT earth is a sphere. One cant help but get somewhat angry at this kind of stupid and several questions come to mind. How could a group of people so stupid survive this long? Does this disprove natural selection? Are they teaching this to their children? Would it be totally wrong if we launched them on a one way trip into low earth orbit?
I'm not going to bother putting arguments for a spherical earth in here because anybody with a fully functioning brain knows already.... Earth = round. This concludes my flat earth rant.
There is no scientific basis to flat earth theories. We have people orbiting in space, and cameras. The earth is a damn sphere. :)
Except for this - https://steemit.com/steemit/@athleteyoga/admiral-richard-e-byrd-interview-on-the-flat-earth-hollow-earth-video
The earth is a sphere, we have been in space, we have been to the moon, we have sent probes to far away planets also spheres. We can observe our own planets shape through the aide of the satellites which orbit it. There is no scientific basis for flat earth theories. There is no logical basis for flat earth theories.
I am not discouraging anyone from belief in what ever they wish. Much like topics of religion or politics, it is not my place to tell someone what to believe or not to believe. Flat earth theories are grounded in faith, as there is no scientific evidence to support them. Believe what you wish my friend! Have a great day too.
Great comment.
I would recommend you letting it go and not replying to athleteyoga comments. There is no sense in having a debate about science and evidence with someone who doesn't value them or values personal beliefs more than science and evidence.
In my view, debates between two people of opposing views allow for others who view those conversations to come to more informed opinions. So while there may not be a point for either person in the debate if the other is set in their ways, the outside observer still has something to potentially gain from the discourse.
What proof do you have for any of this from your own observations and not from what you have been told to believe and been shown by the mainstream media, which is owned by 6 corporations and controls 90%+ of the media? All I know is anytime I am at the beach, on a boat in the ocean or flying around the world, the horizon always looks flat to me ...
Live streams from cameras attached to the international space station. The curvature observed by a weather balloon is consistent with what one would expect for a sphere of the earth's size. It is very mild and difficult to tell by looking at images by eye. One must get just a bit higher up then they go before things become more obvious.
The company I work for has had payload on rockets going to the ISS, so maybe I've had access to camera feeds others don't typically see. Regardless, the earth is a sphere based upon all available quantitative and qualitative scientific data.
As I have said all along, I mean no disrespect, and do not seek to change anyone's mind. I will say the perspective you have from the ground is insufficient to observe the curvature, and that statement is provable by math. Believe what you would like. Have a great one.
@justtryme90 Not sure why it will not let me reply directly to your post, but the main question that always get me is why they have never show a full 180 degree, or even better 360 degree pan of the earth from space. I can not think of any reason why they would not have done that yet other than that it is all an elaborate CGI Hollywood set ... ??? Have a great one as well :-)
key word scientific
Hahaha! I totally agree with you! People are f%€&&*! Every planet around us ,is round ! Do they look at the moon and say thats square too ! ? Or do they actually think our planet is the only one in the whole universe thats square! I really dont get it at all how stupid people gain such a following of more stupid people! Its really stupid if you ask me! And that concludes MY rant !
They are probably Truthers.
Haha :-)
I'm considering starting octatrirectangularhexagon earth theory just to see if i can make up a bunch of random shit and have thousands of people follow it.
Haha do it :-)
doin iiiiit lol
Are the planets real or just more NASA CGI Hollywood fakery?
You all need to watch this video if you want to understand what the real Flat Earth movement is about -
You all need to watch this video if you want to understand what the real Flat Earth movement is about. There have been so many lies and false science that have been taught, all I know for sure is that NASA and the government have completely lied to us and stolen more money than perhaps any other organization in the history of our world. Round, flat, oblong or a disk, we are being lied to ...
Its Flat, Water all stays flat.
I am interested in what is hidden at Antarctica, is it a hidden Edge? Antarctica is shared by all the leading countries, yet they never fight over it?? But wars all over the rest of Earth over greed?
I am quite intrigued by Antarctica as well. If you have not seen it yet here is what Admiral Byrd says he saw when he went there - https://steemit.com/steemit/@athleteyoga/admiral-richard-e-byrd-interview-on-the-flat-earth-hollow-earth-video
I had see that athleteyoga, Amazingly enough I was bored stiff in geography at school, never interested me in the slightest lol, now I am hooked and watch, FE stuff and Antarctica as much as I possibly can.
My friend Daznez is also on steem & he is a FE lecturer, take a look at him on here if you get the chance, his page includes a lot of other very interesting things too.
I will follow you now, if you could do the same that would be cool, I am not sure how to gain followers on here yet as only joined yesterday.
so... about what NASA did they lie to you ?
Were you dating someone who told you he/she was an Astronaut and used the excuse to go to the moon each time he/she was seeing someone else...
Lol this is funny how people can take personally thing they don't understand... (nor having any decision on what they do with the money they receive from the tax payer...)
Thanks athleteyoga for adding a voice of reason...
What the earth isn't flat?
Because it is spherical. If you know what you are looking, you can see with your own eyes at calm sea that there is something blocking the eye sight of a, for example, island shore, when you look at it from, for example, 3 miles, eyes on hight of one and a half feet. But, suddenly, shore can be seen if you climb just three feet... That thingie blocking the sight is called curvature of the Earth. I saw that with my own eyes. No question about it.
That is not what Admiral Byrd said - https://steemit.com/steemit/@athleteyoga/admiral-richard-e-byrd-interview-on-the-flat-earth-hollow-earth-video
Bwahaha! Lol 😂😂😂
imagine.. lol
yeah wondering that myself... but considering terrorism based religion... yeah welcome back to the dark age (which wasn't so dark actually)
Yes, Islam is currently the most violent and dangerous ideology on Earth. It has already beaten what Christianity did in dark ages
The earth isn't flat, that's stupid but it is hollow.
Theres caramel in the centre !
😂
And all these years i thought it was molten iron lol
out of curiosity, what there is on the other side of the flat earth ?
(or they don't believe in gravity as well... for info for flat earth moron who might read that old post; Gravity has been theorized by Newton in the XVII century and understood by Galileo a few century before... so as Conspiracy theory goes... well it isn't the CIA, nor the NASA, nor the US government... lol)
im pretty sure its ice cream
