Is it possible for super heroes with super powers to exist yes do they exist on our planet yes but only as myth. But we have the technology to make superhumans. Just like we have the ability to make a flat planet.

It started off as someone trying to get attention then actually stupid people thought they were serious and took it as a sign to "stand up for what you believe in". Now we have inbred hillbillies with less brain cells than corn on the cob trying to de-bunk space missions and spreading their propaganda though the internet.

I don't claim to have any or all answers to this crazy world, but one thing is for sure, if you believe everything from the "officials" then you really have thoughts for yourself, and you can't think outside the heliocentrical universe that is presented to you. If we really did live on what they tell us we do, then why don't we have a real picture of the Earth. You can find real selfies of douches all over the place, but no one "real" actual photo of the Earth that hasn't been photoshopped. If one thing is proven to be wrong, you must at least question the whole story then.
>>
>>689925365
No, stop, stop!

All thoughts are possible. Okay, sure. Is it possible for a flat planet to exist? In certain models of the universe, yes. This doesn't necessitate that our universe is one such universe.

Is it possible for super heroes with super powers to exist? Sure. Do they exist as a concept on our world? Yes, most certainly.

Do we have the technology to make superhumans with superpowers? I don't think we have -all- the technology, and I don't think they would be the same kind of superhumans that exists in concept alone.

And we don't appear to have the ability to make a flat planet. We can only imagine and illustrate the required variables that would allow one to exist. We most definitely do not have a giant press in space.

People never really believed the earth was flat, ancient greeks and romans thought of the earth as spherical. The idea that people in days of old (medieval times) thought earth was flat and you can sail off the edge is actually just an old wives tail, scholars of this time also believed the earth to be round

And if your read my comment you would see I said make. That's not say it can't exist naturally just not likely based on the survival of the fittest. A flat planet would not be as optimized as a spree planet and the universe is all about optimization. So yeah the earth is a sphere.

TBF i watched a video recently and im kinda convinced its flat, you wouldn't need gravity if we had perfect balance. plus airplanes never have to compensate for the roundness of the earth they just go straight, and why is it we learn the earth is flat right as soon as we enter our schools? same as why people enforce religion at a young age so it sticks in our minds. then we laugh at others for questioning it as if questioning something is a bad thing. same with the food chain we are what we eat, fuck off mate really your diet has been the biggest lie ever. recent studies show that ancient roman civilizations where vegetarian and only ate meat at special events like Christmas etc. but you know why would our government lie to us its not like we are all slaves.

Go look at "gravity", it is only a theory as well, the whole idea starts with the assumption that we live on a ball, if you explanation for how we live on a ball start with the statement " if the earth is a ball, then how can we prove any thing, we need to start from a neutral ground, neither flat, nor spherical, otherwiseyour argument is completely redundant

If you have flown on an aircraft that has reached greater than FL280, you can see the curvature of the earth. Most long distance flights utilize jetways that operate at FL300 to FL390(varying for separation rules, as well as NE-ODD/SW-EVEN).

There is also the basic rationale that if you have a telescope, every other object in the sky is a sphere. You can also buy a rocker and put a go-pro on it and see that the earth is a sphere.
>>
>>689927290
Try making a tower 2cm high out of modelling clay.
It will stand.
Now try to do the same thing, upscaled to 2m, 20m, 200m etc.
It will collapse.

Idem for planets.
Small asteroids can have any shape, but the bigger planets collapse into a near perfect sphere.

Sweet! Been waiting for one of these threads to pop up.

Rather than attack Flat Earthers with science (which is what always happens), can someone explain exactly why every government is covering this up.

>>
>>689928275
The fact you think a planet is alive is concerning to me.

Planets like ours have heat production, this is energy for organisms to live on. Under the right elements and placement to the sun for ideal temps, life can grow ON the planets surface.

Adaption is something only living things do in evolution.

No... you... you're not... you didn't do proper research into quantum theory. Because then you would have to do research into quantum mechanics, and that would bleed into general physics, classical and contemporary, and then you would be intrigued by astrophysics, and then you would have to face several different tangents, subsects of astrophysics that in turn completely overlap everything else...

You don't have a complete understanding of the several fields and ideologies, and models, and hypotheses, and theorywork, and all of the performed or falsified studies or experiments, to say that you understand that everything is as connected as you say it is- as opposed to everything simply being fairly uncertain.

Well, anon, it'd be more like saying "if I can touch the screen of my phone and interact with things, then I can use my computer screen and interact with things on the screen, because they're both screens and I can touch both of them".

Most modern computer monitors are no longer CRT, which means, as far as I know, no glass. And the glass on smartphones is a special, patented type of glass, that's allegedly "shatterproof". To add... the mechanics behind the surface of the screen that allow your finger's electrical potential to interact with the materials would count as a different property than a polymer sheet over LED/LCDs.

Just saying.

So if the earth was flat, they said "Oh sorry bout that." You wouldn't want to stop everything, stop beveling in your trusted feds and go see the edge? Then start trying to figure out where you are, what you are on, and how to make it work to your advantage?

This is what I'm talking about. You used the terms, "they" & "powers at be". Who are these powers? Obama?

There are countries that are inherently not as "Christian" as the USA (Sweden etc.). How would you get these countries to comply.

Seems like quite an easy thing to disprove. Actually, not seems, it really is something that is easy to disprove (round earth that is).

Yeah, If the earth WAS flat, the further you got from the centre of the earth-disc, the more sloped gravity would be.
And when you got to the edge of the earth, you'd be able to literally sit on the side, and even walk onto the underside.

It's basic fucking physics, really.

Depends on the rotation of the earth or sun about the other (because if the world if flat, the sun may as well orbit the earth too). However, it still would be bright across most of the flat surface as long as the sun was above the plane of the earth.

Seasons work due to the tilt of our planet's axis, which was caused at the same time as the formation of the moon, after a mars-sized asteroid slammed into earth and rotated it.

Hey, you formed your own conclusions, cool. This means that you can't ever prove to know if you're actually right, but that you only know that you've made a claim. Opinions are biased. Even observations are biased. The difference, is when those biases are constantly spat on or scrutinized until the last remaining bits of information don't see falsifiable. Your opinion is that you know of many fields of knowledge and can reproduce those findings on the fly, if asked to do so. You need to prove that, because you already acknowledged that opinions are worth nothing. Over time, perhaps you can demonstrate, not claim, that you know everything.

Which I mean, you just said you don't hold all of the answers, so the likelihood of you answering anything truthfully or as accurately as possible with respect to -other people's conclusions and findings- is low.

Science? With science, you go out of your way to find what is wrong. When you think you're done, you try to prove other people wrong, while accepting that they could be right. You attempt to replicate their findings, too. You don't ever go around and claim that things are ultimately right or wrong- doing so is bad practice.

To add, the fact that you're using the English Alphabet is proof that you aren't forming your own conclusions. You shouldn't even be using this machine to be here, or in a house, or drinking clean water... because these were all based upon mountains of conclusions, observations, ideas, and practices of others.

Don't even attempt to use metaphysics to ascertain what is valid and invalid, because you're doing it a disservice, too.

>>
>>689932713
The GPS knowing your position yes is science. Know what route to take science and math. But if you don't like the route it suggests based on the opinion of the computer that decides the best route. Does this make the GPS wrong. No. Its just a difference of opinion. Think of it this way your driving from new York to California. The computer tells you what it thinks the best road to take is. But you the driver have drove this trip many times and know based on your knowledge that your road is better. So is your opinion right or the computer. Neither are right both get you the same place it is your opinion that one road is better then another not science.

>>
Nothing on a flat world makes any sense under real world physics.
>>
>>689924998
Technically true, but a bit different to how most people picture it.

It has been largely accepted that the Earth is round since the 5th Century BC, when Hellenistic astronomers like Aristotle and Pythagoras (or maybe others, who then had their works ascribed to 'wise men', as was common) noticed that constellations were visible in Egypt that weren't further north, and that shadows cast on the same day were different lengths at different latitudes.

Guys like Erastothenes and Aryabhatta even managed to estimate the circumference of the globe to a fairly accurate degree (Aryabhatta was only out by around 70 miles, too).

The idea persisted right through Antiquity, the Medieval period and Renaissance eras. It wasn't until the Enlightenment hit that people started thinking that ancient cultures believed the Earth was flat. Even then it was only as a way of pointing at ancient cultures and laughing at them in a "Ha ha, those idiots thought the world was flat!" way.

You'd have to be an idiot to think that the Earth is flat.

First off... A satellite wouldn't move relative to the sun... it would move relative to the earth.. the satelite would have to move at the same speed as the roatation of the earth in the opposite direction over a period of 12 hours for you to get video of the earths rotation. also the earth would have different views based on seasons... more algae aand brown leaves.. then green leaves.. and the size of america would appear to change due to the curvature of the surface of the sphere you look at it head on it'll appear bigger than at an angle... think pythagorean theorem and instead of hypotenuse its a curved surface.
ex: that picture that calls you a twat when you look at the charger port on your phone but when looked at head on it looks like blocks and lines. Scientific analysis completed by a highschool dropout using einstiens theory of relativity, Visual basis for comparison, and basic Geometry. #Roasted

Okay, stop.

The GPS does not think. As of now, most if not all computers do not think. Not like us. Using the word think will cause too much confabulation and assumptions- so, stop. They function. They compute. They operate. It is analogous to gears moving in a clock, until the two hands are in such positions that, according to the clock-reading-standard, the clock represents 12:01 PM.

It's analogous to rocks rolling down a hill, and when they come to a stop, they are at "the bottom". The GPS is a system that has, more or less, a vast topological survey of the Earth, and through it's very nature (atomic clocks, geosynchronous orbit, satellite feeds, etc.) can "move" the data that you configure your GPS to receive, to the GPS. The only opinions related to the GPS are your opinions and feelings on the received data/directions/geolocation, and the opinions of those who programmed the GPS systems' functions. Not thoughts. Functions. Mechanical operations (logical, but saying logical tempts people to think that the GPS has feelings, too).

As to whether you know better than the GPS, it's possible. Because you have empirical experience, if you trust that you know where you're going. If you didn't know where you would be going previously, you would have had to make mistakes. You got information, when you learned that you needed to take a left instead of a right, and that one route is quicker than another, recommended route. This is because the GPS systems aren't omniscient. They're just machines. They lack intension or better problem-solving skills, because they're not made with that in mind. This could change over time, sure. But that would be expensive, and time consuming.

Actually I work as a photojournalist. And once again it wasn't the picture. I said nothing of different blues or color balance. I understand color and the spectrum quite alright thank you.

Ha! Just went to YouTube. All of the pics/vids showing curvature are so called disproved because the Flat Earthers say that GoPro creates the curve, or else there was a fish-eye lens on the camera.

Love it! Won't accept the science, and won't accept impartial evidence.

Maybe a better question is despite that the Earth is clearly a sphere, what is to be gained by choosing to believe in something that is so clearly disproved.

Is it just to be different. Kind of like a fedora?

NASA has always held that the Earth is an oblate spheroid. You just didn't finish High School so you weren't taught that it was. Children get taught that the Earth is spherical because it's easy to visualise. It's like a ball, see? When you get older these things are clarified and built upon, because we teach kids the rough assumptions before we teach them how things actually work. Even then you don't know everything when you finish high school. College teaches you the hows and whys of astrophysics, because when you get down to it, that shit is complicated as fuck.

I mean, you'd think it would be easy to prove why the Earth is round, but to do that you have to answer why gravity acts as a force and why planets exist, and why stars form, and why galaxies exist. Even then you get curveballs like the fact that the universe is expanding thrown at you (answer that one and you'll get a Nobel Prize). It's like the young kid tactic of always asking why, continually. Even reasonably intelligent people with a good knowledgebase quickly run out of answers, because we simply don't know the specifics of our universe yet.

There is nothing wrong with them. I, if not anyone else in this thread, rely on images as 100% certifiable proofs. Images provide me with only 60% certainty, and that's because I cannot ignore the information I have learned on my own about the world around me- only given more credence by people who have observed these things, and have documented and scrutinized them as well.

You spineless, lying sack of shit.

If you're a photojournalist, you would know that there is nothing wrong with them. Otherwise, you are a shit photojournalist or not one at all. The picture is what is capturing the concept of a round Earth. You can perform physics-based measurements (several) from the (several) images of Earth NASA has placed in public domain. You can do the same with images you yourself could obtain, if you tried hard enough.

A fucking photojournalist should know about the basic nature of photography, nuances and all. A fucking photojournalist should describe what inconsistencies they find with the 2012 and 2015 photographs.
