WE LIVE ON A PLANET: YES, this is pool related

Actually, I would guess the test failed for the same reason mirages are seen, depending on the time of day and a bunch of other things. With an air temperature profile that is cooler towards the ground, light will be bent around the Earth. That temperature gradient probably disappears when you go up 30 feet. That requires a tower at the midpoint

I wonder how the FE prople explain the fact that Moscow and California are about 12 hours apart for local noon but the Sun is not visible in one place when the other is having noon. On a flat Earth, the Sun is visible from all locations when it is "up".

There is also the problem that all celestial objects must be at an altitude of 4000 miles -- the Sun, the Moon and all the stars. That's easy to show with triangulation if you assume the Earth is flat. That makes the Sun 40 miles across. The Moon is also 40 miles across.

Triangulation becomes a big problem if you look at the direction of the Sun at sunset from two locations due north/south of each other. That measurement says that the Sun is in the same direction very nearly relative to the line joining the two sites.

And then there are all the problems related to satellites. I wonder how the FE fools explain GPS. Since I worked on a satellite-based program in the Air Force, I suppose Max thinks I'm part of the vast conspiracy and a liar and a deceiver.

So I have heard the FE bs floating around for awhile, but never paid it much attention. Max really believes the earth is flat? Never met the guy, but just based off what I know through social media, I would have given him more credit than that. Old Joe needs to get him on the air :grin:.
 
Pizza is flat. Tires go flat. Music can be flat. In the army we were called for Flat-Dicking. The Earth....I’ll take round for $1.00. Anyone want 1/2 the action?

I'm sorry but these retards are rejecting most of the findings of the major sciences, what makes you think they'll accept your experiment? If it works out, they'll just say you botched it or that your in with the magic lizard people.

I cry for humanity when I see how people are trying to drag us all back into the stone age again with the religion and conspiratorial nonsense. There is no use wasting ones time trying to eductate these people, any more than there is any use to arguing with other religious people. They love their delusions more than the truth. Of course they also love all the modern conveniences made possible by satellites, but have no idea how they work, or any desire to learn...

They still teach science in high school, right? How about college? If people have attended one or both of these and still don't realize what is wrong with flat earth "theory", then there is probably no hope they ever will.

Educated people since even before the ancient Greeks generally felt the earth was round.
But I'm not sure what religion has to with thinking for or against flatness....
...as a matter of fact, is "religion" a blanket statement?
 
It's pool related because there's gambling, corporations, pool players who think the world is flat and boats. Pool players love boats.

Stop being such a thread cop lol this is a public service announcement and most pool players need those.

Oh, I get it. So I can upload a great porn video and say it's pool related because pool players like putting balls in holes. Nice, good to know.


In all seriousness, people don't actually believe the earth is flat, they are trolling. Unless you are trolling as well, you should relax. No point on wasting time in trying to reason with people that are trolling.

Because pool balls aren’t round, they are actually flat. Once you realize that, you’ll be a rack runner.

I used to have dreams like that. The balls were like hockey pucks. I don't know how I did it, but in my dreams I could draw the cue ball.

I believe that Max is serious in his belief and other flat-earthers are as well. I think the creationists are serious as well. I think it is a mistake to dismiss people like that as disingenuous trolls.
 
They're definitely not trolling wassamattawichu?

One THIRD of millennials believe wholeheartedly the earth is flat. Think about that for one moment. 1/3.

ONNNNNNNNE THIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL RUN THE COUNTRY WHEN WE RETIRE THINK WE LIVE ON A FLAT EARTH UNDER A GLASS DOME AND THINK SPACE ISN'T REAL.

Please don't try to pin this on just Millenials too typical. (I'm not one btw)
I've seen and spoken to many X'ers and older who are equally confused.
 
I was just in mud engineering school with a FEr...

I just went through drilling fluids engineering school and one of the guys in the class was a Flat Earther... He couldn't pass the math tests and failed out in the 3rd week.
