Aristotle & Galileo AGREE : News Flash! THE EARTH IS ROUND & You do not need a YouTube PhD to tell you otherwise.

With the recent uptrend in posts questioning the nature of our Oblate Spheroid, that is Mother Earth, I wanted to share a few Wikipedia pages that I find helpful when I'm concerned about the flatness of things around me...

Here's the easiest way to empirically prove the sphericity of Earth ... without going outside!

  1. Get a map of Earth.
  2. Make a bunch (~50) of random marks randomly distributed over the map.
  3. Call a phone number located at each point.
  4. Ask them if it's daylight or dark outside.
  5. Tag each mark with either "day" or "night."
  6. Observe the odd shape of the day/night border.
  7. Realize this can only be explained by a spherical Earth.

You clearly do not understand the flat earth model look at yin yang that should help you realize #7 is a fallacy.

look at yin yang that should help you realize #7 is a fallacy.

Explain how, I have no idea what you're talking about, but I feel it makes absolutely no sense, as a flat disc does not have light shine on it like that.

Take a flat disc, and hold it in front of a light, and angle it back and forth.

You will see that it does not create a wave pattern across the surface of the disc.

That proves the earth is not a sphere, as the sphere shows the wave pattern when you shine light on it.

You are proven wrong by simple "experimenting" which can be done in your own home.

get some education then

Would you care to enlighten me with the information then, instead of being a jackass that apparently knows the information which I need to learn but refuses to share it for some reason?

your apparent stupidity is showing.

No, I'm not a retard because I know and can prove through experimentation that the Earth is spherical.

You're being a completely rude ass for entirely no reason.

What's your problem?

It's not worth getting mad over. It's either gullible idiots or people intentionally attempting to discredit the sub. Likely both.

It is you who are the gullible, it is okay I was where you are now, you still have hope.

You so funny.

Go back to r/conspiritard the adults are trying to have a discussion.

this is one along with many other videos where people zoom in in their cameras and see things they shouldnt on a globe. dont make it complicated let common sense prevail

how about concave earth?

Not even once

Also, satellites prove the Earth is not flat.

Unfortunately, these Flat Earthers have serious issues with denialism.

The flat earth theory can be falsified on any clear night an hour or two after sunset by observing satellites in the sky[2], provided that one accepts either Occam's razor or common sense as valid stances. Plus sanity. Unless governments around the world are launching one-shot satellites every night to maintain the conspiracy, a flat earth simply won't support a constellation of orbiting objects. They'll fall right over the edge, giving you nothing but blurry images of a stack of turtles.

they could be space planes flying in circles.

Naive realism is the belief that we see reality as it really is (objectively and without bias); that the facts are plain for all to see; that rational people will agree with us; and that those who don't are either uninformed, lazy, irrational, or biased.

Unfortunately, these Ball Earthers have serious issues with dogma.

... planes do not function in space.

whaddya call the space shuttle?

A plane that goes to space. It does not have the ability to ''fly around'' lol.

it had/has control surfaces.

With no atmosphere to push on control surfaces make no effect.

Show me a free floating satellite in space not doctored.

Unfortunately, these Round Earthers have serious issues with denialism.

You obviously have not looked into the points of the flat earthers. I'm not saying I am one, but I'm starting to look at it more.

What do they say about the two men you've cited (lol, with wikipedia) about?

[deleted]

Keep that poor sarcasm to yourself but try this book http://www.sacred-texts.com/earth/za/

So, you have some esoteric history books with detailed biographies of Galileo and Aristotle?

They were amongst the very few Free Mason's, look that part of it up.

Certainly, you are not going to act as if there is a conspiracy behind the links on those two pages.

Wikipedia is run by the very organizations perpetuating this idea of a sphere earth.

I'm not saying I believe it, I'm just playing devil's advocate. This is the holy mother of conspiracies and I bet the Vatican has some of this knowledge buried deep within her vaults.

I don't think you have looked into this enough, because you are supply establishment (wikipedia) links. Dig deeper with an open mind and possibly with some ganja or beer. Happy rabbit hole falling.

WHERE IS THE CURVATURE

[deleted]

Woah! this post was meant to be sane?

Why is it so important to fight this? You seem to have an agenda trying to discredit reality.

wow fish eyed lenses.

This post is a logical fallacy called appeal to authority. Earth is flat.
