What you say is the reason, and what they say is the reason, for the interest in flat earth is not the same. I have posted the reasons this interests me. There is some honest questioning here and you would be better off, I think, by acknowledging that. I see this as part of the whole history...

I have spent time reading and watching video on Physics and the History of it, Closer to Truth has become one of my favorite websites. "Thought experiment" is the beginning of the globe model, and the foundation of quantum mechanics and special relativity. All of modern physics and cosmology...

You can have a proper conclusion but only if the premise is correct. Physics is not supposed to be faith based. --Dave

Because it's not a discovery. Apples have always fallen from trees, nothing Newton didn't know before his big idea. All he did was imagine that apples fall for the same reason that planets stay in orbit and every thing does not fly off into space on a spinning planet. In short, why there is...

Physics and reason don't seem to go together. Gravity just seems to be way to simplistic an answer as to why there is order and not chaos in a universe where every planet is spinning and moving through space. --Dave

Good point, that's the kind of thing that sticks in my mind and I look to see if flat earth has an answer for it. --Dave

Let's keep in mind, these are not "my" videos. It's good to vent, but I hope you can eventually calm down and just concentrate on your arguments with out all the emotion. I am researching both sides of this, buy neither you nor I can debate this without understanding what flat earth is really...

The sun "appears" to be about the size of the moon. The question is, is the sun much larger and very far away, or very close and no to large. Both models still produce seasons because if flat the sun does not follow a perfect circle above it and if far away the tilt of the the globe explains...

The Fflat earth position is that the moon is self illuminating. Flat earth people say the eclipses and phases of the moon do not correspond with the globe model in the exact pattern that is presented by the globe earth model. I am studying all this as we go, if I don't answer right away it's...

My post is in reference to a video that Clete posted. --Dave

An equation, in itself, is not a proof. All equations are only as good as the premises they are based on. Space time relativity is based on assumed premises as well. This does not mean, in all fairness, that globe earth is wrong, but this opens the door for questioning, it means that it's not...

Thank you for proving my point, "any thing said as evidence for flat earth you will simply call a lie." --Dave

"‘universe’ is the name given by most astronomers to the sphere whose centre is the centre of the Earth and whose radius is equal to the straight line between the centre of the Sun and the centre of the Earth. [...] But Aristarchus of Samos brought out a book consisting of certain hypotheses, in...

Your opinion is already, there is no evidence for flat earth, so you will never "see" any. That's called bias, which means any thing said as evidence for flat earth you will simply call a lie. I suggest you observe future posts and spare us, or at least me, your "predictable" commentary...

That is your opinion. I will continue to argue they have valid arguments. --Dave

Aristarchus of Samos did not prove the earth was a globe. He demonstrates the distance of the sun from the earth "if" the earth is a globe, as you can see from the illustration that is always used to explain it. --Dave

There exists three views of flat earth. 1. There are those who are absolutely convinced the earth is flat. 2. There are those who are absolutely convinced the earth is not flat. 3. There are those who are open but need more proof before they will change from the globe model and will continue...

I have not ended my participation here. I have been working on a summary of the many subtopics of this topic. --Dave

So where is the sun when there is a full moon? --Dave

See my response to Clete. --Dave
