Proving it's flat has been attempted multiple times. These are interesting experiments they've done to get to the bottom of the question.

Flat earth is flat brain syndrome...

Oh, definitely.

Give the guy credit for having integrity. He actually followed through instead of fagposting all day, like some ineffectual, limp-wristed, keyboard warrior cultists we know.

That's nice, but he didn't need to spend $20,000. Star charts work, and they are based on the Earth being a sphere.

I looked into this guy. He appearantly just passed away a few months ago. Reading the comments, he was adored by other flat earthers. I wonder if that means he took his cult beliefs to him to his grave being that, evidently, he must not have come to terms with either his gyroscope or his laser light through a hole and a camera experiment.

This means friends and close relatives still hold some sort of rational for being embarassed on netflix. I wonder what their side of the story is. For $100 you can pay for one booking w a close friend to talk conspiracies.

So I take it all back. Like all flat earthers, he has no integrity. No amount of experiments can be set up, ever, to convince them.

Well, I called my friend from Canada to Europe when the sun was going down on my end. On the phone he told me the sun was going up on his side.

Flat Earthers believe that the Sun is a projector of some kind that is moved so that the Sun rises one place while setting somewhere else, oblivious to the fact that the SIMPLEST explanation is that the Sun is a ball of fire and that the Earth is a spheroid.

The earth is round and easily proven to be round.

As is the distance to the sun. Easily proven.

The distance between lines of Longitude at 60°S is approximately the same as the distance between the lines of Longitude at 60°N latitude, and both distances are shorter than the distance between the same two lines of Longitude at the equator. This only happens with a globed earth.

Did you go measure that yourself or is that based on the globe earth model given to the population by the government?

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 06:33:59 ago (+0/-0)

It's measured, literally thousands of times, every day, with no discrepancies. Actual measurements, not "based on" anything.

[ - ] MasklessTheGreat 0 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 11:24:07 ago (+0/-0)

Yep, you got that from government supplied information. You aren’t proving globe earth. You’re only regurgitating government propaganda. Keep trying though. You can’t prove globe earth.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 13:53:41 ago (+0/-0)*

Nigger, the transportation sector depends on this system to function. So does the agriculture sector. Accuate to within 3 inches with WAAS augmentation. I'm not getting shit from duh guberment.

Thousands of times per day people depend on this system and it's measurements with results within inches accurate. And, it absolutely proves a globed earth. In aviation, it's backed up by radio navigation equipment.

[ - ] MasklessTheGreat 0 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 14:15:17 ago (+0/-0)

Not true. I am a commercial pilot so I know all about the various navigation devices. Inertial Navigation systems and attitude indicators based on mechanical gyroscopes absolutely can not be used as accurate instrument flight rules equipment if the earth was actually a globe. The principle of gyroscopes operate on a fixed plane in space blows globe earth out of the water. Go down the rabbit hole. You’ll discover many airline pilots who will admit that they know the earth is flat. You can’t deny it when you look at airline flight paths on the flat earth map compared to globe earth.

What kind of fucking disingenuous nigger tries to pass himself off as a "commercial pilot" and says shit like this?

I'm a pilot and a plane owner. We don't fly by "inertial navigation systems". Attitude indicaters don't have a fucking thing to do with radio navigation, distance measuring, or navigation at all. And gyroscopes do not negate the possibility of a globe earth. Ffs, ya dumb fucking nigger, if that were the case, don't you think one fucking engineer or pilot would point that out on the daily?

https://www.flyingmag.com/guides/what-is-dme-everything-to-know/

This is what we use for radio navigation. It uses VHF frequencies and time measuring equipment to measure the distance from your aircraft to a radio navigation aid, like a NAV station. And this equipment is used, on the regular, as a redundancy to the GPS navigation equipment in most aircraft. The GPS equipment, when augmented by WAAS can be accurate to within 3" for guidance of aircraft in modern aircraft to the touchdown point on the runway.

Which is to say the ability for readily available GPS equipment to measure the distance between two points, as I described above, is accurate to within less than a foot, and has radio navigational equipment, also readily available, to confirm these distances.

The globed earth is proven by measuring the distance between any two lines of longitude at 60°N, at the equator, and at 60°S and comparing them. The distances at 60°N and 60°S will be approximately the same and both will be less than the distance between two lines of longitude at the equator. This can ONLY happen on a globed earth.

The points on the GPS system are not arbitrary. They are based on technology that's hundreds of years old, and with today's modern equipment, are accurate as fuck. And again, backed up with radio navigation equipment that almost exactly match the distances measured.

This equipment is used thousands of times, every day, never a discrepancy, and never out of bounds of the expected globed earth model.

Go fuck yourself. This is proven science. Proven, repeatable, testable, verifiable and all using relatively cheap, easy to access, readily available equipment that requires no permissions to obtain or use.

Dude, calm down. Your anger is causing you to misunderstand my responses. You’re right, a single engine piston aircraft doesn’t have INS on board. Airliners do but my point stands that gyroscopes wouldn’t work around a globe earth. They would maintain their position in space as the plane flew around the curve of earth which would result in the attitude indicator slowly showing a nose down attitude through the flight. That doesn’t happen. I know a fucking attitude indicator isn’t for navigation but you’re so triggered you didn’t comprehend my response. I’m not reading all that bullshit you typed about VOR, DME and GPS navigation because I know what all that shit means. I knew you were flexing as a pilot when you mentioned WAAS earlier. I know all that shit. If you would drop the anger, clear your mind and do some digging then
you’d discover the truth about the earth.

It’s not proven science. You keep repeating the same bullshit. It only takes a few minutes to look into flat earth and then the whole thing will start to unravel. Stay plugged in. IDGAF. You’re wrong though.

There is nothing arbitrary and there are no assumptions being made other than the obvious assumptions being confirmed by the experiment.

A GPS location is not arbitrary and is based on a centuries old plotting system of Longitude and latitude coordinates. Each plot point is a precise point with accuracy within inches, using today's readily available tech.
The distance between 2 GPS locations are not arbitrary, and can be measured within inches given today's readily available tech.

The assumption is that the earth is globed and taking distance measurements between two points (two lines of Longitude) at 60°N, 60°S, and at the equator will demonstrate that the distances at 60°N and 60°S are approximately the same and both are shorter than the distance measured at the equator. This can ONLY happen if the Earth is globed.

No nasa required.
No jews required.
You can perform this experiment at your laptop. GPS is a technology that is used with 3" or better precision, thousands and thousands of times every day with no anomaly.

Science is using repeatable experiments to draw conclusions based on data from those experiments.

These repeatable experiments produce data that can ONLY be explained using a globed earth model.

You’re taking measurements from a model they created, dipshit. It proves nothing. You have to go the fuck outside and view shit with your own fucking eyes. Once you start to actually observe the earth with your own eyes you will see that NASA can walk the fuck on with their bullshit. There aren’t satellites in outset space. GPS isn’t what they say it is. There is no outer space. You can’t even get to the moon. You believe that covid was bullshit. You believe the holocaust was bullshit. Time to step up your game and discover that the earth is flat and surrounded by a firmament. Go down the rabbit hole.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 15:05:26 ago (+0/-0)*

They didn't create the earth, faggot, and GPS is used to reinforce the longitudinal and latitude systems that were in place long before satelites. You mark a position. You mark a second position. And you measure the distance. How are you this fucking retarded?

If you send 1000 people to a point, say 60°N, 0°E, and give them a way to get there, all 1000 people, using cheap, easily available equipment, would get to within 3" of each other. Take another 1000 people and send them to 60°N, 20°E and those 1000 people will get to within 3" of each other. Then, take the measurment between them.

Do the same at the equator and 0°E and 20°E, and again at 60°S, 0°E and 20°E. Compare the three distances and your proof of globed earth is right there.

And because you don't actually have to do this, because you can rely on the GPS measuring data, because it's backed up by radio navigation, you can take that exact same measurement right fucking there at your computer.

If the Earth was shaped in any other way, you would not get similar measurements at 60°N and 60°S with both being shorter than at the equator.

Stop being a fucking disingenuous fucking nigger, or just fucking kill yourself, you utter fucking faggot.

Your anger is very telling. Either way, your “experiment” is based on navigation points that the government supplied to you. You can’t prove that the supplied data to perform your experiment is true therefore your argument doesn’t hold water. Prove the earth is round without government supplied information. I’ll go ahead and break the news to you. You can’t.

The flat tard cope is that these experiments were actually set up to fail on purpose and that the guys performing them are NASA infiltrators into the flat earth movement. I'm not even kidding. https://rumble.com/v2i4dii-tlolocaust-episode-39-pain-in-the-smooth-brain.html 00:43:19

OK so light doesn't go in a straight line? That's interesting now...

[ - ] FreeinTX -1 points 9 monthsJul 25, 2023 15:08:59 ago (+0/-1)

No. Light can bend in a medium. Happens all the time. When light is made to bend sharply, you get a rainbow effect.

The need to constantly reinforce programming with videos like OP posted is a strong indicator of indoctrination and appealing to the groupthink.

Space is fake and gay

The earth is flat, in places.

If I cared enough, I'd want to hear the flatter say how thick the earth is. Also infinitely thick, in addition to infinitely flat, or is there another side?

No one actually thinks the earth is flat. Flatters are 100% shills. Believers would be too retarded to type sentences in English. Oh, suddenly the word 'narricist' comes to mind.

I keep thinking the same: if they're that retarded, how are they using computers and able to make full sentences on their keyboards? But they do seem SO. VERY. SERIOUS.

Even when a car is traveling 80mph, it is undetectable to passengers, unless accellerating or deaccellerating. Planes 600mph. What would be so amazing about any other speed?

Flat Earth wasn't even an accepted belief in old world Europe. Think of all the explorers sent out back then. Boats cost money, and the King of Spain was not going to invest the last of his country's flagging coffers on an expedition that might end in the ship sailing off the edge of the world. Back then, all Christian nations believed the church doctrine, which was modelled on traditional Greek Socratic teachings of Geocentrism. Galileo was not killed because he thought the Earth was round. He was killed because his telescope proved the heresy that our Earth revolves around the Sun. And he died in 1642, which shows people had moved on from arguing about Flat Earth at that point, and were killing each other instead over Geocentrism. Ice walls and other nonsense are all modern bullshit, probably dreamed up by some kike to make the White man appear primitive and stupid.

The topic is played out. We've proven the earth is round. The best they can do is try to prove the earth is "not round" by using alternate phenomenon to explain commonly experienced phenomenon. They never actually try to prove the earth is flat. They just try to like holes in the phenomenon we commonly see on this globed earth.
