Dawg. You are either incapable of honest conversation about this shit or you are insane.

Respond to this without a dodge

Everyone at some point has offered refutations for all your half cocked garbage science. You reject and ignore it, you do NOT refute it. You just say it's not right. You have not disproved a single fundamental mathematic proof. Everyone else in these conversations agrees on a baseline understanding of these concepts. You not ACCEPTING the answers does not make them wrong, and you keep on saying no one has disproved your theories when that is simply not true. Either you can't understand that or you are being dishonest about it.

Also...nigga I can't believe I'm even bothering lol this is insane...THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD OPERATES ON PRINCIPLES DERIVED FROM SPHERICAL EARTH MODELS AND GRAVITIC PRINCIPLES. The fucking disillusioned nerve of you demanding proof and offering none. YOU LIVE IN THE FUCKING PROOF EVERY DAY.

-Where is even ONE scholarly program based on flat earth principles? If the shit is real where is the fucking school?
-Name ONE FUCKING SINGLE ELEMENT of ANY industry or technology that acknowledges flat earth theory
-Show us even ONE fucking complete mathematic equation that can support ANY of the bullshit you on. ONE! What's the fucking math behind your static electricity theory that everybody is mistaking gravity for? Guess what, gravity Is expressed as a fucking mathematic equation that anyone who understands the math can work through and understand. Where's ONE for flat earth shit?

It's so funny you demand to be disproved and jam your fingers in your ears as soon as you finish the sentence, and have either the balls or the gall to call that a win. Everyone else sees a crazy person.

I hope one day you get better bro, you have a fucking illness.
Yo, was he chilling in Downtown Dallas last night? :lol2:

The nigga is sick man. It's kind of sad tbh.

He can't see it. Cult members can never see it but this is somehow worse.
Nah, rite of passage, man. He's still sorting himself out kind of stage. Those impressionable. First he thought the earth was round, the girl that pegged him (turned him) made him think it was flat for obedience sake. Now we here, trying to red pill the dude with battle tested science. He still trying to see horizons and shit. Still don't understand why the sun rises in the east. TF is the point?

Lol, you typed all that shit but can't bring yourself to simply say, "Cash, it's incorrect that the horizon should be dropping below eye level as you ascend and here is why; Explanation explanation explanation explanation explanation."

That's all it takes. But no, look atcha. And you're the one constantly dodging.

You instead keep repeating, "But all the world's systems operate on spherical and gravitational principles!" (Like air traffic control systems? Planes adjust for curvature right? That's ANOTHER point I brought up that you ignored) But you yourself don't know that for a fact, you just rely upon FAITH that what you've been told is truth. And of course, when you're not on BGOL you spend restless nights combing through peer reviews and white papers. Face it, you're just like a Christian, but instead your bible is space.com, white people with glasses and NDGT, the Barack Obama of space exploration. You want to label me religious when ironically the stories of the bible are rehashed stories from earlier civilizations that were based around a scientific understanding of the earth and NOT occult lore. You've been duped into thinking that everybody was dumb back then when they knew the earth was flat and that we're now smarter because we saw the moon landing on the TV aka idiot box. You went to the planetarium to learn about the solar system and universe while staring at at DOME, well I'll be damned.

You asked me what I needed that would make me finally admit that the world is a globe. I responded that I want to a see a video that shows the horizon morph from the flat line we see here at sea level into a curve we should see in space. And of course, you ignored that too. I understand tho. You've never seen it either, because it's never been produced, because it's impossible to produce, because you aren't on a globe.

If you did your research, you would know that NASA long ago acknowledged in one of those white papers you love so much that the earth was flat and stationary. But of course, you'll never hear about it on the national news. You won't hear about it at your major universities. The military industrial complex won't tell you. Our mortal enemy Russia (lmao) won't tell you. No my brother, you have to be smart enough to figure this out on your own.

Neither one of yawl niggas been to space

so how can one be so sure

becuz I don't need to go to "space" to prove we aren't on a ball.

Btw, they said Jeff Bezos flew out to the "edge of space" but NASA also recently announced that the moon is now inside the earth's atmosphere (after all these years that it wasn't). If the moon is 284,000 miles away, then how far away is the edge of space?

Very wordily did exactly what I said you'd do and threw in lies to do it, which I also predicted.

Myself and others have addressed everything you just said has been ignored. You are a liar. Every time these things have been refuted, you ignore them only to come back and say you were right about them because nobody addressed them. You lying, doggie. Flat out. I just talked to your slow ass about the plane shit in his very thread lol wtf bro?

The more I read through this response the more I realize you actually are crazy. All the made up scenarios you have imagined me in and described would be disturbing if I hadn't dealt with crazier muhfuckas than you. You sound like king taharqa though. You are a certified fucking loon lol

Maybe your character isn't as low as your intellect and you truly don't remember or have blocked the shit out. Idk how but maybe. But the simplest answer is you're full of shit and will say whatever to hold onto the thin filaments of your argument.

It's gotta be fucked up to have to type out all that imaginary shit to avoid answering the questions that would tear your lil nutjob world apart. You living in hell lol

I hope you stay where you at and it isn't one of those things that gets progressively worse until you gotta move into a facility or something. You might be posting from one right now though, who knows. You're definitely suffering from a mental condition though.

Any math? Got any? ANY?

This is the thing bro

Your question doesn't make sense

First because it's a nonsense question on its face

But why would being flat change how it behaves as one ascends anyway? To be honest I'm not even sure what the fuck you are asking or what point you're trying to make.

And you repeating this dumb shit as a means to avoid all that other stuff I asked you, just do you know you not being slick. Although I can't tell at this point if it's more for me or for you so you don't have a psychotic break.

@4 Dimensional help me out

What about the geometry of a plane vs a sphere is supposed to make the horizon behave differently as one ascends from it? What am I missing? Wouldn't both surfaces do the same shit?

I KNOW THAT. Duuhhh!! However, at 24 miles above the earth you should be able to see the horizon start to dip and curve, not remain at eye level like it does in REAL LIFE.

At the 0:16 mark of this video, at 38km (23 miles), the horizon is BELOW EYE LEVEL and curved. But on the Red Bull video, we saw a flat line at eye level at 24 MILES. On the balloon footage I've posted, SAME THING.




This is what it's SUPPOSED to look like based on the globe model. But this is NOT REALITY.

Edit:
As a matter of fact, you should be able to SEE a curve at 33K feet, in a fucking plane, but you don't of course. And you know why buddy boy. ;)

I think I understand where you’re coming from, if the Earth is a sphere we should definitely be able to see a curvature and f we look straight ahead.

Just like if they removed the buildings and trees we’d be able to see NYC from LA because the Earth’s flat.

Yep, makes perfect sense to me too.

How Far Can The Human Eye See- Find Out!
If you are wondering how far can the human eye see, just know that several factors decide how far we can see. Also, taking into consideration all the factors, we can see pretty far.
Also, if you are having this question- How far can the human eye see? You might have pictured yourself standing on a flat surface or a curved surface or imagined an object you want to see.


Based on the curvature of the Earth, when you are standing on a flat surface with a height of 5 feet or above, you can see nearly 3 miles away. This is considered to be the farthest edge you can see.
Also, researchers believe that without any interference in between, a person with healthy eyesight or average vision can see the flame of a candle from nearly 1.6 miles of distance.
From higher up without the curve of the earth, you will be able to locate certain objects from hundreds of miles away. This variation is fascinating, isn’t it? The human body is indeed complex.
Now that you know how far can the human eye see when you are standing on the ground, there might be some deciding factors, right? Of course, there are! Few things determine and influence how far can the human eye see when standing straight, these include:
  1. A person’s eyesight includes the function and health of the eye itself.
  2. The size of objects you are seeing.
  3. Any sort of hindrance or obstruction in the line of sight.
  4. The curve of the earth.
Let’s see each of these factors and some more to understand how far can the human eye see and how it is influenced by other factors.

Earth’s curvature

People often use the term “sightline” in a theater to describe the line of sight from an audience member’s seat to the stage. But, a sightline is really any uninterrupted visual angle from a person’s eyes to what the person is trying to see.
Aside from obvious visual obstructions like trees, buildings, and clouds, there’s one major factor that can reduce your sightline: the curvature of the Earth.
The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away.
To put it another way, if you’re standing on a beach in Florida or driving past the farms of Nebraska (both places where it’s relatively flat), the farthest part of the horizon that you can see is about 3 miles away.
Angles and lines of sight
If you were lying down on the beach with your head less than a foot off the ground, your eyes would be able to see about a mile out over the water.
However, if your vantage point were much higher off the ground, then the horizon line could be a lot farther away. The curvature of the Earth wouldn’t start to cut things off from your view quite so soon.
Let’s say your drive through Nebraska took you to Scotts Bluff National Monument, and you climbed to the summit at 4,659 feet.
From here, you could see Laramie Peak, which is about 100 miles away in Wyoming, according to the National Park Service. That’s on a clear day. It’s not limitless, but it’s pretty far.

Are you serious?

I'm serious but I'm still gonna get some jokes in. :rolleyes:

Ok so there are hella YouTubes that show the curvature of the earth. What makes them wrong?

Blatant computer graphics with errors all over the place. Sega Genesis lookin ass graphics and shit. Hollywood does a better job of faking the globe. Nigga I know a bump map when I see one or better yet the absence thereof.

I've yet to see one rocket or weather balloon piece of footage showing a curve or a descending horizon.
