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.
We'll here's 200 proofs to start with:




Wow. You spend countless pages and posts attempting to assign "science" to the Flat Earth thing, and then you post 200 "proofs" from one of the most ridiculed, owned men in America. So much, in fact, that he's listed in the "Encyclopedia of American Loons". Needless to say, I'm not going to spend 2 hours listening to the ramblings of someone with questionable credentials.

I did look for more info on Dubay, however, and found mostly people exposing him and his theories on YouTube.

Oh and by the way, the map he shows of the Flat Earth is identical to that shown on the clip I earlier posted of the Flat Earth Society Convention. You know, the one with the ice of Antarctica forming the outer edge of the disk you call Earth. So at least the Flat Earthers are consistent on what they think the Earth looks like.

I found interesting how Dubay and rest of the Flat Earthers try and explain the motion of the Sun relative to the Earth. All I have to say to that is....... WOW.
You ask for proof, I post a vid that has 200 and you don't want to watch?

Dubay is a genuine truther. Of course you are going to find people trying to debunk him, they are controlled opposition, and paid actors like Degrass Tyson.

I've already told/ showed you how water works in this reality. Again, if your claim is it does something different, then you I'd ask you to show me how it can conform to the exterior of a shape. I can show what I'm saying. Globe believers can't do the same.



Alpha, no offense, but many of his (cough) "proofs" are based on flat horizons and elevations that are minuscule when compared to the diameter of the Earth and it's subsequent curvature. What difference does it make what you observe when you're a few miles up and seeing a "flat" horizon? How do YOU explain plane trips around the world? Is this an elaborate conspiracy also? How do you circle the globe on an airplane if the Earth is truly flat? Wouldn't we have seen the "edge" of the world by now? Or wouldn't someone already have seen the "underside" of the Earth? I had already explained to you the fallacy of a disk hurtling through space, but you apparently even doubt the hurtling part. Maybe you think Earth is in some stationary celestial spot somewhere. Hell, I don't know. Maybe Truman was right?



Now you're thinking Tito, The Trueman Show and the Matrix could be closer to reality than we know.

Yea I do think we are stationary. And about the flat earth map, I'm not sure what you were trying to say. That is the commonly accepted speculated map. But I don't claim it to be a fact, just a possible representation.

About the horizon, and the experiment I posted before. Do you understand what I was trying to explain? If the horizon is level at a lower altitude, then on a ball as you rise up in altitude, the horizon has to drop below. It would be impossible for it to rise to your eye level.

You should research planes, on a ball, they would need to constantly dip the nose to adjust for the curvature. The argument from ballers is that the atmosphere is keeping it aligned with the curve, but then you get the same problem in reverse. They would need to have the rudders down just to fly in a straight line. Also the gyroscope in a plane never moves when flying straight for many miles, when it would have to be following the curve, or else fly out into nowhere.

And how does our pressurized atmosphere stay contained with no type of container? We know that in our reality, gas needs to be contained or it will float away. Oh and they tell you it's right beside a vacuum.
