The air is made up of atoms right? Molecules. Add enough of them together and they block your ability to see. You know the air contains humidity. If you watch the weather reports they always say the percentage of humidity in the air. The more humidity in the air the less far you will be able to see. It's like if you hold one clear plastic bag up to you eyes you can see through it but hold enough of them up and you wont be able to see through it.

The least educated and stable among us. Stupid to the point of debilitation.

For the record, flat earth theory is incongruent with higher education. The front of their T-shirt says "I know the world is flat" The back says "I'm completely uneducated"

I'm completely unindoctrinated, there fixed it for ya.

Thought Columbus and Mageline ended the Flat Earth idea like 500 years ago. Fucking Mellowman tried to tell me the sun was a giant fucking flashlight. And you can see the space station with a simple telescope. You could also follow a shuttle launch the same way. I've been away from this thread 3 months now and nothings changed. Ever seen Idiocracy? Lol

Please explain why you can hear the engines on this supposed unpowered glider whining in the video.

Flying a plane there's only one horizon... where "sky" appears to meet Earth (not dirt, planet, so oceans too)... what I see in that pic is a false horizon of clouds... which means bupkiss.

Yes where sky appears to meet the earth, like in this photo of a flat hallway. That is what you are seeing on our flat plane.

Please explain why Baumgartner landed 12 miles east of where his balloon took off, if the earth is rotating under him at hundreds of miles per hour?

The earth rotates east to west but so does the atmosphere right? And so does most of the predominant winds. He didn't actually escape completely from the rotation of the earth. Just guiding tho from the little I understand.

How would seeing the ISS with a telescope, equate to the earth being round (even though it has been recognised here on this thread even as an oblate spheroid)?
Have you viewed the ISS with a telescope?

The flat Landers believe man has never been to space cuz we live in a domed aquarium and that space stations and satellites don't exist. That they don't circle around a spherical object. Like I said a ant farm. And I know its not actually perfectly round but you understand what I'm trying to get at. If the space station exist then space exist, there's no glass covering.

Even if you believe the atmosphere rotates in sympathy with the earth, he was in an unpowered balloon. As he rose, the atmosphere would have to speed up to keep up with the spot below him where he took off from, the higher he goes. Yet he landed 12 miles east.

IF the atmosphere did rotate in sympathy with the earth the clouds would only be moving in one direction by the way, and flight times would be much different as there would be a massive headwinds on Westbound flights.

Because the dude is also traveling at the same speed you flaming idiot

Think about it, the higher he goes the faster he needs to travel just to keep up with where he took off. Just like the earth supposedly rotates at 1015 miles at the equator and only 400 miles an hour in Alaska. Just like the center of a merry go round barely moves but on the edge it is moving faster. He would have had to accelerate just to be able to land in the same spot he took off from. You have been owned.
