NASA says humans could land on Mars in 25 years

Alpha, what are the dimensions of the planet. People only live on the top right? Since when we did we find things like oil, gold and silver might that mean the underside may be eldorado for lack of a better word?

I don't know, I have never seen the earth for myself. Only fake images.

We are also not free to explore this earth freely.

All I know is it needs to be some type of container to keep the water in.

There are far too many common sense arguments to take this premise seriously. You can’t say all you know is the water needs to be contained on a flat surface, and at the same time “you don’t know” how this could be. The earth IS free to explore, for fucks sake. That’s what scientists do.

Wtf dude at least give me your ideas. You study this you must have painted a pic in your head. Are we living on top and bottom IN YOUR OPINION

He doesn’t have any....

Never really set out to scale anything or pretend I'm Mr. Wizards world, but if that's done would it be done with same speed as Earths rotation? At what point are photos no longer believed?

And what is the magic of the Chocolate fountain? I like chocolate as much as the next guy but what magnetic befuddling genius is that. Serious inquiries.

I don't know what we are on, have never professed to know exactly. I know it has to be some sort of container to keep the water in. Try going to Antarctica and exploring around by yourself. You won't even get close. You have never seen the earth with your own eyes, so you can't tell me exactly what it is either.

I can speculate for you if you'd like, I have already said it must be some sort of container, whats below that, I have no idea, the deepest hole we have ever dug is 8 miles down. I know it's at least that thick.

More than you, still waiting on that scale model, challenge goes out to anyone. Back up your claims, with something I can observe and repeat or sit back down.

Depends on what it takes for you to believe something. If a photo is all it takes for you to believe something, then that's your prerogative. But photo's, and video can be manipulated.

I'm not sure what you mean, are you comparing water to chocolate?

Are you comparing a drop to the earth?

It's the same as a drop of water or bubble forming in water. The pressure is equal on all sides.

Try again.

You have referenced and asked for scale many times, that this fails you just cements why I posted that. It’s the same reason all of your examples about bodies of water fall so short. Do you realize how limited the scope of any camera, laser level that exists are? There is nothing that could measure a blip on the surface of the ocean, of course you won’t see curvature. It would be the same thing if you could imagine a quark sized camera trying to do so over that drop of water.

Don't mean to sound simplistic in the midst of this physics mumbo-jumbo..... but the "accepted" fact is that the Earth is spherically-shaped, even if it's an imperfect sphere. We're not living in the Middle Ages, when people feared falling off the edge. We've got planes and satellites that routinely orbit the Earth. There's literally tons of pictures taken from space (if that premise can be believed and accepted as fact, otherwise we're back to the elaborate studio conspiracy theory). Based on this, the onus is on the "Flat-Earthers" to prove the Earth is flat, not the other way around. And "proving" the Earth is flat will take more than some backyard experiments and trying to equate the behavior of a few gallons of water with the behavior of trillions and trillions of tons of water on a huge planet. Scaling does make a difference in experiments, whether some people want to accept it or not.

Next you'll be showing me water, bubbling on top of a straw. We already know and understand what meniscus and adhesion are.
