      PAYDAY MONSANTO man i know this comnent is old, but aftet reading it i just gotta respond. Im a ' know it all" for saying the earth is round. Do you really, actually for real real, think its flat? Really? Are you just fucking with me? All basic and advanced principles in physics hinge on the world being round. Gravity, do you think thats make believe? Do you think all the pilots and sea farers across the century have been lying to protect some nonsensical lie that doesnt even concievably serve a purpose? Why would people lie in mass about such a trivial thing, what agenda could it possibly serve? Do you profess your crazy brliefs publicly or only on the internet with a secret alias? Do you know what an altimeter is? Theory of relativity. How many people do you suppose are in on this secret? It would literally have to be billions. Come on man be reasonable, or start taking your psyche meds again your sense of reason has gone haywire, its 2015 im fucking astounded that this is even a thing

      PAYDAY MONSANTO my ' equivocating rhetoric' is my response to you calling me mr know it all for trying to enlighten you on a scientific consenus reached hundreds of years ago. And no thousands and thousands upon thousands of independent historians didnt cook the books. This is one of the beliefs that epitomized the dark ages, do you also believe in trial by ordeal? This is on par with a flat earth, its refucking tarted, i was actually showing u some respect by listing reasons on why your backwards 'challenge the status quo at any cost' was incorrect? Instead of just calling you retarted. Theres daily flights from america to Europe. There s daily flights from eurppe to asia, theres daily flights from asia to america. We circle the globe every single day, you really dont think somebody, just one fucking person would be like 'hey thats just a wall of ice....huh....' you cant actually be this stupid. I guess you msy just be a troll in which case you got me, in which case maybe try dating or bowling or drugs or something. Get a life

    The earth is not a round disk. It's a flat plane that stretches out to infinity. It's thickness goes down to infinity. There are infinite numbers of suns in uniform intervals that pass over the earth, thus explains the passing days. Same with the infinite number of moons. The stars are little higher and are actually lights or very miniature suns much smaller than the larger suns that pass over us. The clouds are never moving over us as it's an illusion. The earth moves horizontally. Thus wind.

    • @Aquascape_Dreaming
      @Aquascape_Dreaming 10 років тому

      No, I saw a video where a flat earther 'explains' that the horizon effect is the result of light bending DRASTICALLY which explains why we can't see objects like ships on the ocean at great distances. So wrong, that theory alone since lights needs massive amounts of gravity to effect its trajectory, but ok for the sake of argument I'll let them have it. What is more amazing is how he couldn't explain why the whole ship didn't just appear as a whole suddenly and why we can track the appearance of the ship in stages i.e. the mast, the sails the deck etc... Another flat earther surmised that because the earth spins faster than the speed of sound that we should be able to hear the sonic boom at all times. Does this idiot know what actually causes the sonic boom in the first place??? They must be having us all on...

      35,000 feet, but you need a fairly wide field of view (ie 60 degrees) and a virtually cloud-free horizon. The reality is that clouds, hills and mountains mean we rarely get to see the kind of perfectly flat horizon where the curve would be most obvious.
      However, you can detect the curve of the Earth from ground level at the coast with a pair of binoculars - just look for distant ships on the horizon and you’ll see that their hulls start to disappear before their masts and other superstructure. Ancient Greek scientists, who spotted this without any optical aids, used this to conclude that the Earth was round.

    my point is, you think if the horizon is curved, water has to fall off the horizon's curve. that is in no way true, and never will be. the horizon is curved, but since gravity pulls towards the center of the earth, the water does not fall off the sides. the earth is a spheroid.

  • @PERTEKofficial
    @PERTEKofficial 11 років тому

    Earthquakes are caused by tectonic movement. The way quakes work is tectonic plates are constantly moving towards eachother building up pressure. eventually they will have to release that pressure, and that is done by one plate moving up and the other moving down, causing the ground to shake. this can be demonstrated by pushing your hands together.
    so with that in mind, make sure you know how gravity works before arguing. there's no need to tell me to get real, as the earth is indeed a spheroid.

  • @Quercuspalustris50
    @Quercuspalustris50 12 років тому

    What would make a flat disk accelerate through space in a manner the speaker references? That whole 9.8m per second squared thing sort of relies on a center of mass being at the middle of a sphere. And even on the sphere the 9.8m^2 number varies a little as a function of latitude, altitude and local geologic variations. Those variations would be far greater on a flat disk.

    indeed true, but if it's that far away, we'd be living underground with massive power stations to power lights and heat facilities, because the sun would be so far away that the the light wouldn't have reached us yet so the surface would have no light or heat. we'd also live off of salt (NaCl), worms, and processed minerals. we'd need to heat up water to drink it, and we'd need to depressurize the subterranean air to the proper PSI to avoid getting smashed by the sheer pressure.

    The same question surely applies also to a spherical Earth, if you substitute "surface" for "sides". It does appear that Earth moves along with its atmosphere, but Earth may not actually be moving at all. Even Round Earthers may suspect something of the sort. For example, if I'm driving along at 60mph and I'm overtaken by a car doing 70mph, they see the other car as doing only 10mph. I don't think they are right.

    1) how come nobody has yet "bumped" into these huge ice walls that he claims runs the perimeter of the "disk"?
    2) the shortest flight distance from australia to brazil is approx. 9700 miles...but according to this theory, that wouldn't be possible seeing as the 2 countries are on opposite ends of the "disk".

    The fact that the Earth is spherical has been known since ancient Greek times (Eratosthenes calculated its circumference around 200 B.C.E.), but that knowledge was largely lost in the Middle Ages (until the Crusades). I don't think the Bible says anything about the matter except mentioning "the four corners of the Earth" in passing.

    ok..what about earth quakes in a non flat earth the big ones would be measurable all over the earth but as we measure it at the exact opposite you can measure P waves, but from 140° to about 104° you can measure none and 104° to 0° (all this supposing a round earth so 0° where you are and 180° on the opposite) you measure both P and S waves all this fits the round earth and it's inner structure. (s waves cannot propagate through liquid)
    how do you explain this phenomenon with a round earth?

  • @Matticusjk
    @Matticusjk 12 років тому

    But gravity only exists in any measurable amount in large, spherical objects (they're spherical because of the gravity). Besides, if the earth was flat, the light would not bend around like that. Nor would it appear so curved from our close proximity

    ... Is not strong enough to cause anything to fling off the planet with the gravitational force which is generated.
    Gravity at the center of the earth is absent. Due to the fact that gravity pulls toward the center, and for the sake of the example, you are at the center, there is no longer an effect generated.
    The reason you always feel upright is because gravity is pulling virtually equal everywhere on the surface, with some very, very slight variation. (out of characters again)

  • @chriswilson3687

    Not so. You have forgotten to take into account two things: 1) The length of time taken for the journey you describe, and 2) The counterclockwise spin of the Earth during that time.

    with rough calculations I did while sleeping I calculated a human of 2meters height could see on the sphere as far as 3200 km in case the earth... so a human is just like the lenght of one millionth of the supposed circumference of the earth 24000 km. and a man can see on a sphere of smooth surface directly to 3200 km around him, so from perspective the surface could look somewhat flat. the curvature of meters per thousands of kilometers would be hardly viewed.

    Gravity isn't just a force pushing us down, but also a force attracting to very large masses. So then since every mass in the universe is attracted to every other mass in the universe, the land mass that is the earth will be forced into a sphere, as there is equal tension on all sides.

    You are absolutely right. The camera never lies. The illusion that the earth is round is because we have TWO eyes.

You just close one of your eyes and with your one eye you will see things as they really are.

  • @TheCookiezPlz
    @TheCookiezPlz 11 років тому

    On a spherical Earth, this is true. But on a flat Earth, it wouldn't be. Assuming the atmosphere doesn't somehow leave Earth entirely, the atmosphere would be completely perpendicular to whatever force is preventing it from leaving Earth, and if you believe in a flat Earth, that force is uniform. Hence, the atmosphere would have no curvature, and hence, neither would the horizon. This obviously contradicts the reality that we see, so it follows that the Earth isn't flat after all.

    I was on a U2 once. It was a journalism assignment when I was in college. We went up so high, I dont know the exact number. But we got high enough to see the actual curvature of the earth. I dont really see how the earth could be flat when it is obviously round

  • @FragMentEditing

    We are being pulled towards the earth's center. Wherever you stand on earth, it is pulling down on you from inside the earth. There is no universal "down" direction, it depends on where you're standing on the earth that determines which direction is down.
    Imagine a spherical magnet. If you put something magnetic next to it, no matter where you put it on the surface, it will be attracted to it.

  • @01wadder

    For shits and giggles I did some calculating.
    I took the standard 6000 years for the creation story, and extrapolated it out to 1.89216x10^11 seconds.
    I then multiplied by 9.80 m/s^2 for the 'gravity' acceleration, and got 1.8543168x10^12 m/s for what we should be going at today.
    I then divided by the speed of light, 3x10^8 m/s (approximately)
    I got 6181 times the speed of light as our current speed from stationary at creation. Good job, guys. You broke physics.

  • @nadiyahak
    @nadiyahak 11 років тому

    they don't think planets orbit the sun. They think there are multiple suns moving over the flat surface of planets. The only reason we feel what we think is gravity is because Earth is constantly moving up. (ikr?) Why we don't eventually move out of the solar system or the Milky Way idk.

  • @showfire100

I also watched another movie about them on YT. It's really crazy, how they present their topic and how little criticism there is among their group. I meant, they are merely supporting all the "facts" presented in meetings instead of having a serious discussion. Not agreeing to all that probably means that you are no longer an accepted member of the group. And maybe some of them are part of the group to be part of a group only...
