If fake, then a bunch of other stuff would also start crumbling.
I used to think 98% real, however the last 3 years have changed my perspective on many things.
STKR said:I tell you what, one of the most censored topics out there is Flat Earth Theory. I laughed at a flat earther several months ago and sought to prove him wrong. I thought it would be easy. It was not. Now I know that I don't know anymore. We have long distance photographs (400+KMs) of Landscapes that should be KMs under the earth's curvature. Skylines of coastal cities and even lighthouses can also be viewed from such distances that defy the curvature model.
Then you have the behaviour of water. Large bodies of water will always find their level. The idea of our oceans curving defies the physics of water. Water also needs a container, just like our atmosphere (gas) would if it were next to the vacuum of space. If it didn't have a container, it would go against the second law of thermodynamics. The answer to all of this? Gravity! Yet gravity is merely a theory that tries to explain why things fall to the ground at a rate of approx. 9.8 m/s. Flat earthers state that gravity can be explained by density, buoyancy and electromagnetism. It's very complex to understand the model in its entirety but it is absolutely fascinating. Something I once laughed away has now become something of great intrigue and interest.
I've seen so many faked CGI images from NASA it's not funny. Look into the blue marble from NASA themselves. Look at the timeline between their claimed "photos" of earth. First one was in 1972 and claimed to be from one of the Apollo missions, and no other photos of earth existed until 2015. Meanwhile, they want you to believe we're sending robotic vehicles to Mars and taking close up photos of distant planets but can't take another photo of earth for 43 years.
Eric Dubay, Austin Witsit and KC Industries are people worth listening to on this subject.
A few more breadcrumbs for those who are interested...
Aeroplanes never have to make allowances/corrections for Earth's curvature. The lockheed SR-71 Blackbird can travel at speeds up to 3500 KMs per hour. To maintain it's altitude, it would need to travel nose down to account for over 15kms of curvature every minute. Failing to do so would result in gaining altitude so quickly that it would be in low earth orbit in a matter of minutes.
Personally, I'd prefer not to entertain the idea of a flat earth but once you honestly investigate it, there are some proofs that are impossible to ignore.

if the earth is flat, how is it that the entire world cant all see the moon and sun at the same time? because if the earth is flat and only had one face, that is exactly what would happen, every single country would see the moon at the same time, and when the moon falls behind the disk and the sun comes up the entire world would also see the sun at the same time. we would also have the same seasons at the same time.
STKR said:Now we can do calculations based on Earth's curvature and observer elevation using this calculator:
https://www.biorhythm-calculator.net/earth-curvature-calculator
Observer elevation is 2820m. Based on the distance of 443kms, there should be over 5kms of curvature (5038m). The very peak of the mountain range being photographed is only 4102m.
The calculated curvature between these two points is over 5000m. The peak of the barre des ?crins range should be 898m below the earth's curve. The mountain range itself stands over 1500m from It's base. There is approximately 1.5 - 2kms of missing curvature in this photograph.
I wouldn't take this as "proof" without further evidence. This is not an isolated example at all. The equipment needed to conduct a basic experiment is within reach for many. These experiments/tests have been performed countless times and the results are the same.
STKR said:Errm, I'm not entirely sure what exactly you're trying to say but flat earthers use the Gleason's map, which ironically is 2 dimensional map of the globe.
If the North Pole is in the centre of the Gleason's map, travelling North, East, South and West would put you at the same bearing.
I wouldn't even say I'm an advocate for flat earth at this stage anyway. For it to work in it's entirety, you would have to accept the geocentric model and all that comes with it. I'm not at that stage of acceptance yet. What I am saying is that curvature has been widely disproven time and time again using the scientific method of observable, testable and repeatable.
As per the example I have given previously, we have a world record landscape photograph showing a mountain range that should be 1.5-2kms below the earth's curvature. That can't be ignored.
As per the other examples I've given, aeroplanes never account for Earth's curvature. Why? They never account for Earth's curvature in engineering either? Railroads, bridges and even rocket trajectory. Why? It's claimed that we're on a spinning ball with curvature and the earth's crust is rotating at 1600kmph, or 30kms per second! Why would we never have to allow for curvature and rotation?
Watch these two videos and let me know what you think. They only go for a couple of minutes each...

I sadly have no interest in joining a sailing forum to hear their views on the flat earth model. My main objective was to prove that the earth was round based on the model given to us. I personally cannot ignore the evidence provided.
I mean this in the most respectful way, but you haven't given me anything but an idea that the position of America makes no sense on the flat earth map and I should join a forum and seek answers from people who "often joke about the flat earth map". No real examples or explanations were given. It was merely conjecture. And your comment "sailing off the edge of the world" immediately shows me the lack of understanding one has about the map and model.
Look, I don't blame anyone for dismissing flat earth. I was there 3 months ago treating a flat earth acquaintance like he was insane, labeling him with the same knee-jerk "conspiracy theorists" label like we've all been subjected to. I'm genuinely embarrassed by that, as someone who considers himself to be objective and open minded.
