if the earth was a flat disc gravity would mean that as you approached the edge, "down" would be at an increasingly shallow angle to the surface. to stand youd have to lean over so you were almost parallel to the ground

There is an overwhelming amount of proof out there, but if you decide to listen to a chosen few people you might get to a wrong conclusion as with many unpopular / wrong ideas.

The thing neither you nor your friend understand is that all models by their nature are fallacious. That is, they are not the thing they are modelling, and therefore they are not accurate. This means a model isn't and CAN'T be true. What we're really asking, then, isn't whether the model of the Earth as flat is true -- it isn't, and neither is the model of the either as an oblate sphere -- but whether it's *useful*.

What you need to do is ask him to describe the ways in which the model of the Earth as flat is more useful as a predictive tool than the model of the Earth as an oblate sphere.

I find it interesting how they think. How do they explain the magnetic poles?

Ignore him and move on. You listened and gave the idea consideration and found it to be false. There is nothing more you can do that isn't pointless pandering and encouragement of inane ideologies / pseudoscience.

It's not wrong because it's on youtube, but it's fishy.
Why is it fishy? Because videos allow you to quickly scroll past "information" without beeing able to verify or dissmiss it. Because videos allow you to emotionally drag the audience along with music and other emotional elements. Videos are the worst form of presentation of data and people still choose to use it - in many cases to appeal to lazy people and to hide certain aspects of something that you want to hide.
Think of teleshopping for instance: Why does a tool get bought more when it is presented by someone on tv? Because you can highlight the good sides and hide the bad sides.
If you on the other hand simply put the tool on a shelf and let people people figure themselves how to use it less people would buy it because they might just stumble upon bad sides of it.

>>690907836

Why do you care? Is it really so important if you're friend is mentally retarded?

The flat earth theory about the sun is that it's actually much smaller and it moves around the sky so only a part of the earth is illuminated.

The problem with the people who believe this theory is that it limits what we're able to do and makes life pretty boring, also you have to assume that hundreds of thousands of people if not millions are lying to us since all pilots and the entire scientific community surrounding astrophysics and aeronautics every scientist that had something to do with Antarctica would have to be well aware that the Earth isn't round.

I like to point out to these people that if you think about how many people would be in on it and how unlikely it is that so many people could keep such a large lie going, their theories and explanations are highly unlikely to be accurate. Also what would be the purpose of lying about something like that? It achieves nothing.

Well I challenge you to not just scroll past information, and verify what he is saying for yourself.

In the thrid video for example he states distances at which several lighthouses are visible, even though on a globe this would be impossible.

Feel free to check the math, and verify the visibality distances for yourself.

I'm still waiting for you to point out where specifically he was wrong, and explain to us why it is he is wrong.

So instead i'll tell you why the second video is bullshit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03P-WQ12Nho

I think i lost some braincells while watching this. Oh well.

Q: Why does a plane fly from one side of the globe to the other side take the same amount of time as backwards (if the earth spins)?
A: Relative speeds, not absolute speeds. If you walk in a train your relative speed might be a little faster then the train or a little slower then the train, but assuming that going to the next wagon in one direction is impossible because you can't walk faster then the train is ... wrong.
About the rest of the video: As mentioned above he scrolls past "information" pretending to know jackshit about planes and what pilots or engineers are doing.

But the second one was something I was wondering too,

that was until I hit 5th grade.


If you take off from earth the earth basically flings you with it, you adapt it's turning motion so it feels like you're not altered by it at all, and you can safely build or lose speed without having to fight the earth's rotation.

Following the bullshit said about air not being tightly glued to the earth fuck off

why?
thats not how gravity works

Oh but they need to say the exact thing but not as well?

Or to argue over napping in kindergarten?

Of course it's not. But if it was right then this flat earth would be like a table. Things don't get pulled to the center if table unless carpenter was 5 year old.

I'd like to add this: There is a chance you still don't understand what I mean. When working with lame theories like flat earth you must accept them as real if you wan't to see things same way as those retards. Not all people have the skill to know something is a lie but accept it as the ultimate truth.

Tell him that if he doesn't agree that the earth is round, then why should it be flat?
If for him the earth could be flat then it could be anything from the form of a pyramid to a cylinder...
Maybe you don't trust physics and gravity but if you do so then world doesn't have the choice to be a freaking mystery. Why should it be flat? ...

This is why Americans are so susceptible to conspiracy theories. People always say oh yeah Americans are stupid but I dont think theyre particularly stupid theyre just ignorant. In this case they dont know how gravity works, and more generally they dont have the knowledge of basic science of all kinds to realise just how ludicrous most conspiracy theories are.

You are right but I was talking how to figure out flat earth gravity physics and you took it out of context and it makes me little bit annoyed because it's off-topic.
Those flat eart hfags have no idea where sun goes so they would have no idea how gravity works. And it comes down to that in their so called theories gravity does not pull towards a point. It pulls towards a plane. And that's why that point should've been a line instead.
