Is the World Flat? The Flatlander's theory..

[SunnyJim]

Yes I have.

Do you want to share it with the group?

Do you want to share it with the group?

Do you think multiple clouds could be the exact same shape and form 100 miles away? What about a 1000 miles away? What do you think the odds are? Did you examine the picture in question?

 

[tyler.durden]

I do know about cloud formations, would you like some links? Anyone that studies cloud formations can see the copy and paste. You're not really looking at the picture. I know you have the software to zoom in and take a look. Quit shooting your mouth off and take a look. You will see your picture is a fake. I don't fucking give a rats ass if the earth is flat or round. What I do know is that picture is dr.ed

If that is the case, one should be able to use software to cut out these cut and pasted cloud formations and put them side by side, or put them atop one another to show that they are identical. I cannot see what you claim to see. Maybe just circle the A formations then the B formations, etc.. that would make your point clearer.

It does not seem that you are interested in discovering the truth about this subject. You are using a point (the photo I posted) to avoid the point (whether or not the Earth is flat). Your conclusions based on your observations are not science, and are not even clear to other readers. You seem to want to defend and coddle your ideas instead of attempting to falsify them, which is a defining feature of the scientific method and critical thinking. Just an observation...

 

[Dr.Pecker]

Here are some cloud(weather) patterns for ya.

Even if that person was talking about a round earth you wouldn't see exact repeating cloud formations. Its like finding two snowflakes that are the same.

I did, but i don't have the computing power to zoom in close enough to fully satisfy the claim that apparent cloud repetitions are genuine repetitions. Objects which appear identical from a certain distance aren't necessarily the same objects being shown twice. The closer you inspect them, the more discrepancies arise.

Can you show us the specific cloud repetitions to which you're referring (from distance and zoomed is as far as you're able to)? That seems like a simple way to put this to bed, rather than suggesting we look more closely ourselves.

Not at all what I said. What did I say the earth looked like? You surely didn't read my posts and are making a biased judgment based on the thread topic. Troll denied.

Maybe tyler can provide the link for you. Or get one of these

Ah, I see.

"I have evidence of something."

"Great! Show us!"

"Nah, look harder. It's there, though. Trust me." *inserts magnifying glass image*

Dude, read my post again. Your text I was replying to is DIRECTLY above my post, and it is clear that I was addressing it directly. How high are you???

 

[Dr.Pecker]

I said the earth is an ellipsoid and is not pretty nor special. The moon is round because of constant bombardment from all angles by meteorites and lacks an atmosphere such as earths.

They don't want you to see it because it will freak people out.

A lot higher than you

watch the videohttp://www.space.com/26142-moon-formation-giant-impact-theory-support.html

here's that good science tool The tree in the foreground shows I did not tilt the camera. Did I somehow move the sun? Do you guys know about the waxing and waning of the moon? I'm not that high.

For those that say it has nothing to do with it, well atmospheric pressure changes over the surface depending on landscape and temperature. so It is relevant.

 

[Rrog]

This is the dumbest goddam thread in this forum and that's saying a lot. I've never seen such a collection of the staggeringly uneducated. And they're arrogant and proud about it.

You don't get a Merit Badge for stupid, so I'm not sure what their goal is.

Celestial bodies such as the Earth, moon, and Sun are round due to gravity, not bombardment. You are clearly out of your depth. I'm convinced you aren't interested in the facts of reality, and it doesn't seem that you are capable of clear logic or scientific thought. I'll leave you to your ill-conceived ideas, I fear we are at an intellectual impasse....

I think it's a bizzare form of trolling. They go against proven beyond a shadow of doubt science...and I really do not think any of them are sincere. None of them, not ONE would pass a polygraph test when questioned on the shape of the earth. Especially Pecker, who obviously has some degree of intelligence.

It's a fucking game.

 

[Rrog]

I'm afraid I'm not so generous and optimistic. Their delusion is real IMHO.

Not capable of scientific thought.... wow really? Well I guess I'm not because you are the grand poobah of space and time. So you must be one of those guys that think we have a remote control car on mars huh? Okay grand poobah explain why you think the sun is rough.

There you go exulting yourself above others again. Enlighten me please.

Yes, I'm one of those guys...

Round, not rough. Typo. The form of a celestial body is determined by the interaction between its gravity and solidity. Small asteroids and comets have little gravity, which is insufficient to force their larger rocks into a spherical distribution. But the gravity of the significantly larger bodies, such as the sun and planets, is so strong, by contrast, that it turns these celestial bodies into spheres. There are, of course, still uneven features on the surface of planets, such as mountains and valleys, but they become smaller as gravity increases. A good way to search for these answers is Google, you can type in 'why are celestial bodies round', many credible sites appear with the answer...

I think Steven hawking is a remote controlled person and if he really could talk he'd say go fornicate with yourself.

I used to think the same, but after 40 or so pages, I reluctantly agree with Rrog...
