Ok, great.

Enjoy your cartoons and cocoa.

Don't hurt your neck trying to suck yourself off.

Put on a hat to prevent sunburn.

Great, then everyone will see your point.

Gravity is an unproven theory.

There are no experiments that show the Earth is in motion.

There is no measurable curvature.

The Earth is flat and motionless.

bump.

Quote:

"But first, a little history. In some medieval castles, when enemies breached the first line of defense, the inhabitants would retreat from the outer courtyard (the “bailey”) to a tower on top of a mound (called the “motte”) where they could take refuge and shoot arrows at the enemy until the hostile forces gave up. After doing so, everyone would return to the more pleasant and productive bailey, secure in the knowledge that the motte would protect them if another attack were made. Mottes were safe but economically useless, and baileys were profitable but vulnerable. For best results, both were necessary." -- https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/08/09/the-motte-and-the-bailey-a-rhetorical-strategy-to-know/




So why does the guy who claims we're living on a spinning ball need to use subversive debate tactics to win his argument?

Since i heard some  plausible arguments, it really changed my mind a little bit.
i'm not sure of nothing, but this card are  well suited for this topic

"People laugh, but the flat earthers know something."

Indeed, we "know something".

We even know who's is behind it.

The truth is often hidden in plain sight.

How do you count the numbers? What's the significance of numbers?

For me the best reason why earth is more likely to be spherical is mostly because spheres are perfectly symetrical on all axis.

With a disc it imply a notion of direction, and asymetry, which would mean some directional force is needed to create it.

As all known forces tend to be factor of distance, it make sense all objects naturally evolve to spheroids as forces are equal at all point at equal distance from a center.

When you put a drop of ink in water, it will more get shaped as spheroids than a cube or a disc.

Even without counting for heliocentric system, it would not make sense that an object stay flat with known forces either it's gravity or magnetism. The force would tend to attract everything at equal distance from a center.

It's even the great misery of mathematician that all is so round, depending PI for calculus, and we still dont know how to compute PI properly.

Beyond this it's not that the heliocentric system is not bogus to a degree, but I dont really see flat earth making lot of sense in itself.


Galaxies still seem to be flats, at least some of them, and all planets orbits are more or less on same plane too, so that could imply directional force somewhere.

Even if i dont really mind in the end if it's flat cubical spherical or donut shaped. And I dont think there is easy way to demonstrate smoking gun proof evidence that it's round like this.

For me anyway gravity alone cant explain exactly how planets got to turn around the sun to begin with, or spiral shape of galaxies, so there is probably some missing forces or missing subtilety additionally to sheer gravity to explain cosmic motion and shapes.

Even all physics law are known to be bogus, they only work at a certain scale, for certain phenomena, it's still all very fragmented as patchwork of different set of equation to use at different scales for different situations.

But I still dont get this whole hate on gravity law, and bogus dodging of one set of equation  to replace them with other patchwork of equation that are even more bogus like it's always the trend with this flat earth thing.
