And if anyone thinks this isn't just a huge troll, and wants to add more ammunition, it's notable that if you have a reasonable sized antenna (and many ham operators do - ask around..), then, as the ISS goes over you can: - see it passing overhead for at least a few orbits (until it repeats about 6 weeks later as the orbit gradually migrates around the globe) - intercept (directionally if you want) the data streaming down from the ISS (i'm pretty sure the live video is not encrypted) - watch the live footage for yourself as it happens. Now apart from the fact that our globe's shape is quite obvious from the video footage, you would then have also seen the platform from which the video came, taking a path above you that cannot possibly be anything other than something in earth orbit. The orbital path and velocity of the orbiting ISS can be worked out using grade school physics knowledge.. It's not rocket science...... oh wait.. {groan} But then we are talking about flat-earthers - they ain't at grade school level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted January 23, 2019 #635 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Everybody is born for a purpose, it's all part of God's plan, apparently, and flat Earth proponents purpose is to enable a part of the population to feel superior, knowing they are somewhere up the scale of intelligence from such dumbos. Let's not worry if some of them are just winding us up, or are reporting their views from a secure lunatic asylum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot find evidence for something that just isn't true, which is why the whole idea of a flat Earth is so ridiculous. There aren't sides to this. There isn't an equality of ideas or separate but equal realities. There is what is true and there is a lie a bunch of stupid people believe. It's just that simple.

If you seriously believe this -- that the only thing Flat-Earthers /can't/ explain is an eclipse -- then your idea of a "strong argument" is pathetically weak. I mean, what are you going to believe, your own lying eyes or the "strong arguments" of various mouth-breathers and knuckle-draggers? On the other hand, though, your keen insight and analytical abilities make you the perfect mark target victim exciting new customer.

They're also not properly explaining how ships travel faster and faster the further south they go. And as I've pointed out elsewhere, they don't explain why anyone would bother to create a conspiracy to hide the real shape of the Earth from ordinary people to whom knowing whether the Earth is round or flat is about a relevant to their lives as how many moons Mars has.

The only thing they are not explaining properly is the eclipse. I have to disagree very strongly, they actually have no strong arguments about anything. (if one has even a rudimentary knowledge of science) How about we start with the very simple and undeniable fact that matter coalesces into a sphere in space, with absolutely no exceptions. Do you know what a shot tower is? Some might argue that there are objects in space that are not exactly spherical, which is true, most of the time due to collisions, but there exists nowhere any object that is flat, it is physically impossible. But, then of course, there is always the conspiracy argument. There is always the conspiracy argument. I have to assume that while in college, every scientist has to attend indoctrination classes where they are required to sign THE CONSPIRACY DOCUMENT before they are granted their PhD. I also have to assume that those who do not sign, or wash out or drop out are hunted down and eliminated. I don't know how else it could work. And you somehow have to convince all amateur astronomers... geez, it just gets sillier and sillier, doesn't it? Did you know that flat earthers actually deny the existence of Australia? Look it up, and then tell me they have a strong argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the ISS has an app you can download and watch the view from the station, streamed live and in high res. There is definitely a curve there. Just saying something doesn't make it true.
