Nothing dumber than a flat earther

The altitude of the commercial airliner is many miles lower than the satellite. The satellite IS NOT larger than the airliner. Does the satellite have lights? Reason and logic. That is not a satellite Globetard. I have also seen what you have seen and it moves very fast indeed. BUT it has freakin blinking lights and we can't confirm it's flight path just because we see it fly over every 30 minutes or so. It is without a doubt a high speed plane. I'm not ready to say it's part of the 5,000 m.p.h. Aurora program though. Named after Aurora, Texas where in April 1897 a flying machine crashed into Judge Proctor's windmill and the town folk buried a little alien in the cemetery.

Some satellite solar arrays are actually much bigger than air liners and are highly reflective the light you see isn't actually lights on the satellite but the reflection of the sun on the solar array that powers the satellite, the idea that the earth is flat is just ridiculous, how do you explain solar and lunar eclipses? Especially lunar eclipses?

My dude. You are very right, of course. But retreadgirler is mentally ill. You may as well be arguing that he’s not a parakeet. He’s beyond logic and fact. He’s delusional

If you think I’m just kidding around, do a search on his posts. You’ll see he’s quite proudly mentally incapacitated

Ah I see, lol I read a few of his posts on this thread and thought he might have been a touch special but apparently his Gilbert grape level special, turns out there's a lot of nut bags out there that believe this crap

It’s frightening how gullible a human can be

You mean around the globe I think...

Someone is making big money off these people.. .

I've always wanted to ask someone's who believes in flat earth the following....

Ok, lets say the earth is flat and has been covered up with the globe myth perpetuated instead...... why the coverup in the first place?

I think you'd have to admit the resources required to do all this successfully would be beyond vast. Like enough resources that you'd likely be able to cure one of the biggest issues plaguing humanity like curing cancer, climate control technology etc etcwith those resources


What benefit, and for who, would be provided for this coverup that would justify the ungodly resources dedicated to maintaining the coverup?

Not to mention the thousands of different world leaders, the hundreds of thousands of pilots the millions of ships captains plus the crews...All not saying a word.
World leaders cannot agree on a pollution solution but have kept this secret? I don't think so.

If you're comfy in your beliefs, why inquire?.
If the topic interest you, and you feel compelled, do some investigating.
People have different beliefs, doesn't mean they are 'fuckin retads'.
NASA makes 15 million a day. There's benefits, for whom ??? Idk. What's the benefits of going to Mars? Lol.
I'm the wrong person to spoon-feed info.
Just can't stand how people turn on each other over opposing views.. human nature lies deceit hate racism etc , worlds fucked, flat ball, pear who fucking cares.

Getting to mars is an achievement, it doesn't have to have any other benefit.
Worlds awesome and life's great. No need to be a Debbie Downer just get out and live life!

Madre mía.. Y luego hay quien en este foro dice que en mi país vivimos en tiempos de la Inquisición...
A ver: Juan Sebastian El Cano ya demostró hace muchos siglos la esferidad de la Tierra dando la primera vuelta al Mundo, sin caerse por ningún borde...

No tengo tiempo de traducir, lo siento: estoy muy ocupado quemando herejes... (...es que ya descubrimos también el fuego: Que invento!!...pero eso ya os lo contare más tarde, no nos vayamos a saturar con tanta Ciencia y Tecnología...)

Salud y agarraros fuerte, no os vayáis a caer por algún borde l mundo...

"My Mother ... And then there are those in this forum who say that in my country we live in times of the Inquisition ...
Let's see: Juan Sebastian El Cano already demonstrated the sphericity of the Earth many centuries ago by taking the first round of the World, without falling down any edge ..."

Ok..


My Mother ... And then there are those in this forum who say that in my country we live in the times of the Inquisition ... Let's see: Juan Sebastian El Cano has already demonstrated the sphericity of the Earth for many centuries by giving the first round of the World, without to fall by any edge ... I do not have time to translate, I'm sorry: I'm very busy burning heretics ... (... is that we already discovered fire too: What a great discovery !!! ... but that I'll tell you more about this discovery more later, we will not be saturated with so much Science and Technology ...) Health and hold on tight, do not go to fall by some edge the world ...

So El Cano give us the first EMPIRYCAL demo of the sphericity of Earth...
But a lot of centuries before, Eratostenes de Cirena give us the first MATHEMATICAL demo:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes

Of course, Cristóbal Colón, Fernando de Magallanes & Juan Sebastian El Cano knowed the Eratostenes mathematical demo: thats why they traveled arround World...without any fear to fall from any Earth edge...

Btw, we can repeat easily the Eratostenes demo here in RIU: we only need 2 long sticks with the same heighth, the Sun, basic Trigonometry, n two members being sitted in differents latitudes of the same Hemisphery...
Try it...

Salud!

Lol... The thread title sums up guerilla perfectly

I hope you didn't read my post as an attack. I asked in good faith as I'm legitimately interested in what the answers might be.

I'm as confident the earth is near spherical as I am about anything. I am the type who constantly questions things. My questions about the spherical nature of this planet are easily satisfied while I have many questions regarding its flatness that are not. Hence my position. It's not based on what the masses tell me, but my own critical examination of the evidence available to me.

Yet even if I am comfy in my belief of something I will still inquire of those who think differently. Even if I know their position is wrong, they might have an insight of value i've not considered. They might have some knowledge I didn't know before even if it's not enough to prove their position or if its completely impertinent to the issue at hand yet still worth knowing about. Or maybe it just helps to further understand the issue even if my opinion doesn't change.

I think the benefits of the pursuit of knowledge and acheivement speak for themselves. I mean you can argue the benefits derived do not justify the expense, but you can't really deny the benefits. Suppressing knowledge can certainly benefit people in many circumstance, but I fail to see where the motivation would lay to suppress the true shape of this planet... hence why I ask.

If I wanted to just disprove I'd simply ask for one single shred of evidence that there is an end of this world, which geometrically speaking, would have to be the largest physical feature on the planet if it exists.
