Is the earth flat?

[palmerq]

Get off it El Kabby, the Earth is flat.

Change your name to flatboxingfan then.

I never started the thread, so the title is out of my control. I would have called it "Questioning the claims of the globe".

I cut out your stuff about climate change and only replied to the bit about the earth, stating that there were no practical demonstrations proving the affirmative claims of the globe in what you wrote.

You used hearsay, images and riding in a plane as reasons for your belief in the globe, I use natural science, and practical demonstrations using tangible substances to show the globe is not reality. Not really much to discuss, unless you've got something practical to bring to the table.

That's fine.

Well the climate change part was all I really wanted to say it was a joke.


What shape do you believe the Earth is? What's your hypothesis about it?

All good with the joke, I was just addressing the earth part. Earth is demonstrably level as practically demonstrated using the physics of the tangible substance called water.

I speculate there is more land (resources) being kept from us.

Get off it El Kabby, the Earth is flat.

He's just trying another tactic because he has nothing practical to bring to the table.

at least not in a manner in which humans measure it or experience it.

I would like to discuss this a bit more if you're willing? I would suggest that what you measure and experience is flat and stationary.

Why does water stay in my glass?

Why does water stay in my glass?

Tusker doodle he will answer that the same way he answered when I asked him how come when I jump up in the air I come back down.

His answer was because that's just what happens you just come back down

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

so don't hold your breath because his answer to your question will be because the water stays in the glass

That is literally the depth of his arguments

So what is incorrect with my reply? What were you claiming is happening?

Jackass, I KNOW what's happening, but you're being a jackass by intentionally avoiding the "WHY" you come back down after you jump up. The answer, moron, is GRAVITY.

YEAH, GRAVITY, WHICH WAS THE ANSWER TO WHY WATER STICKS TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH ON A SPHERE BECAUSE GRAVITY PULLS EVERYTHING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE SPHERE. THERE IS NO TRUE UP OR TRUE DOWN. AND LIKE I SAID AGAIN I KNOW THAT'S VERY TOUGH WITH YOU.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

May I ask why you are using Ad hominems? I am only asking questions about my reality.

I can why I come back down, as by my body being more dense than the air around me when I jump up, the air can't support me so I drop back down. Basically finding my equilibrium.

It sounds like you are disribing Newton's gravity, mass attracts to mass, right? We'll forget that it was superseded by Einstein's theory of reality. So can you please provide me with a practical demonstration of mass attracting to mass in nature. And also the physics of water demonstrate that your belief that it can do something different than we observe at some undefined scale is false. Practically demonstrate a standing body of water naturally conforming to the exterior of a shape.

How about eclipse and what not.

How about eclipse and what not.

Again you are going back to visual phenomena, which is different from physical tangible phenomena. And looking at the sky to prove the shape of the ground beneath your feet.

The first eclipses were predicted on flat earth models:

All you really need are the physics of water to see through the veil.
