It would have to be a 30+ foot wave in order for us to only see the top of the sail at the end of this short video. Are your eyes lying to you? Why do we only see the very top of the sail at the end? It isn't because of waves

Do you believe the earth is a round globe or flat?

Sure, but are they spherical? Flat earthers contend that planets are flat discs so they won't dispute that "planets are round".

patrick jane - How about you provide me a model of your flat earth Link me a picture of your flat earth model

Are you saying that it's possible to fly around the world in a flat earth, east to west or west to east? How about you provide me a model of your flat earth. Make sure it's the model you really buy into as I can then prove through flight patterns that your model doesn't line up with reality.

Why north to south when we already have clear evidence of east to west and vice-versa. Planes fly from 'around the globe' and end where they began every. single. day. Notice how one could fly to Tokyo either going east or west no matter where on earth they begin. How is this possible if the...

Anyone who believes in a flat earth could easily disprove it themselves if they were so inclined: One of the best documented methods for determining the Earth's roundness was first performed (to our knowledge) by the ancient Greeks. This was achieved by comparing the shadows of sticks in...

Earlier I mentioned you in a post with a 10 minute or so youtube video. Did you respond to that and if so, I apologize for missing it. Which post of yours should I look to?

Is an orange a sphere? Yes, it is. The cutting of the orange shows what humans see and why were should never expect to 'see' the curvature of the earth. This was addressed in the video. It is explained why the idea is incorrect at around the 9 minute mark. It's a mirage. Have you attempted...

For patrick jane and DFT_Dave Please watch this one and let me know your thoughts.

Q: How big does a building have to be before the curvature of the earth becomes a factor in its design? A: The curvature of the earth amounts to about 8 inches per mile. Any kind of construction that you would do of something that big would have to take this into account. This would include long...

This has absolutely nothing to do with what I am referring to. Why did they design the bridge to take into account the curvature of the earth? Were they mistaken to do so? - explain this Figure 2 shows how to compute the 1 5/8 inch of additional separation based on the drawing in Figure 1...

Do you care to explain why they engineered this bridge to compensate for the earth's curvature? Why would they be designed to be farther apart at their tops than at their bases?

Your flat earth theory has led you to doubt the existence of gravity, correct? So, gravity is certainly an important part of what this thread is about. Kindly point out that post or posts I am attempting to... Let's deal with the point of gravity and how a flat earth model runs into...

When I throw an object into the air and it goes up, it doesn't do so because it is lighter than air. The density of the object does not change mid flight. Why does it come back down to me? That is the force we are discussing. Why does the sun rise and set and why does the moon appear to travel...

What contradicts? Gravity is a force, velocity is just a way to measure movement, it is not a force itself. If you throw an object into the air, explain why it comes back down rather than infinitely follow it's upward trajectory.

Velocity for one. Gravity may pull things towards each other, but the result of this pull depends on the initial positions and velocities of those objects. If velocity of an object is high enough, it may escape the gravitational pull of another body and escape. Even if two objects collide, it...
