It is best to stick to the factual scientific question here. Though I do understand the drive to connect ridiculous ideas with groups you dislike, it is really inappropriate. This is not a place for political mudslinging.
LOL.....flattards......
Ahh, the "I" word, "inappropriate". A polite way of saying "shut up". Thanks, but no thanks.
Exactly what is a "factual scientific question"? It is NOT a fact that the earth is flat, so what does that gobbldeygook phrase mean?
This whole thread is so STUPID that I don't see how anything at all could be inappropriate.
Flat earth!!! LOL
"factual scientific question" LOLLLLLLLL
LOL.
I guess that was NOT inappropriate since the mighty chair did not chastise you
chair. LOLL
Then don't classify all Christians as flat earthers, hypocrite.there is no reason to drag "liberals" into this.

:rotfl:Awesome !!! Let everybody see how Fake it is. Do you believe Star Wars was real too, CC? I'll be back from time to time to prove the sun is CLOSE and SMALL.

Okay but please don't forget to help us with our experiment. I don't see why you have to wait for Dave. Heck there isn't that many places the sun could possibly be in our diagram. Why don't you just take a shot at it yourself? Maybe STP can help you plot it.I'll be back from time to time to prove the sun is CLOSE and SMALL.
Can we also get an answer as to why the sun appears to be the EXACT SAME SIZE at midday as it does at sunset?Okay but please don't forget to help us with our experiment.

Just make a dot where the sun would be at 2AM UTC in relation to our locations on this map. And then add the circle of where the light would be hitting the earth from the sun in that location.

equatorial bulge NEW water balloon3
This video shows that absurdity of the spinning ball model and its "EQUATORIAL BULGE" with EXPERIMENTS, VIDEO MODELING AND SOUND ARGUMENTS
12 minutes - really good one -
I think Patrick thinks that it doesn't stay the same size. Seems like I remember him saying that but he can correct me if I'm wrong.Can we also get an answer as to why the sun appears to be the EXACT SAME SIZE at midday as it does at sunset?
I don't know how yet on my end. Is Dave ever coming back? Heck, give me 3 days I could move 600 miles away. It's been a month.Okay but please don't forget to help us with our experiment.

Can you or anyone tell me if this image is wrong or off base? It seems to me that it must be close to being true.Patric, I don't know if you'll see this, but you need to learn a new concept. It is called equilibrium. It deals with the balancing of forces including the forces in a moving body. The simplest example is a car. When you are driving along at 60mph you have to keep you r foot on the gas. Why? Wind resistance, resistance between the tires and the road, internal friction of the engine and rotating parts are all working to slow your car down. You have to apply an equal an opposite force to keep you car moving at a constant velocity. The same thing happens in a spinning globe. A balance between gravitational attraction and centripetal force, an equilibrium, exists that results in both a equatorial bulge and glass smooth lakes.
(By the way, that 14 mile bulge that the video claim s is higher than airplanes fly reveals a complete lack of understanding of how and where that bulge is measured. The bulge means that the diameter of the Earth perpendicular to the axis of rotation is 14 miles greater than the diameter along the axis of rotation. Given that the spherical diameter of the Earth is roughly 7,962 miles, 14 miles of bulge represents 0.200% increase in diameter.)
:think: I wonder if there's an event in the past that's in the Bible that could have caused the earth to be like this....Can you or anyone tell me if this image is wrong or off base? It seems to me that it must be close to being true.

How many millions times to we have to explain these things?I would say it is exaggerated for effect. In point of fact, if you were to shrink the Earth down to the size of a billiard ball it pass all the requirements for roundness as dictated World Pool-Billiard Association. It would fill like it was covered with very fine grit sandpaper, but it would be very, VERY round. [Source]
Patrick that image of earth looks like an intentionally exaggerated map to show the high and low spots on earth. It's not to scale (as Right Divider and CabinetMaker pointed out).Can you or anyone tell me if this image is wrong or off base? It seems to me that it must be close to being true.
