Is the earth flat? Well I didn’t think so. Flat earth…..what the hell are these guys smoking right? You can’t fall off the edge. Flat earthers don't belive in an edge you can fall off. If you look at a flat earth map, you will notice the Antarctica surrounds us. What is beyond Antarctica is anybodys guess.
I heard a podcast on the flat earth and I thought I’d listen to it just for entertainment. But as I listened to the guy talk I couldn’t deny the things that he was saying.
So if you want to have a serious discussion, I want to have it.
If you don’t care if it's a ball or a flat plane I understand. I don’t care very much for sports, my eye would glaze over.
So here are two videos I suggest you watch first to get your mind open to the possibility that the earth is not what we are told it is.
One of the arguments the flat Earthers make is, why is it when you rise up in any amateur balloon flight or rocket launch up until 120000 (they cant go much higher than 120000) feet the horizon remains at eye level and flat.
In NASA’s high altitude flights you will notice at 124000 feet the earth looks curved, except when you look through the astronauts camera behind his seat it is flat (13 seconds to 17 seconds of the video). The curvature you see outside the craft is because a fish eye lens is used on the camera and it makes the earth looked curved. When you look at the astronauts camera behind his seat the horizon is flat.
Watch any amateur high altitude balloon flight and the horizon remains flat, at eye level. The only way you get curvature is with a fish eye lens, or a go pro camera. When then balloon launches they are using a fish eye lens.You can tell right away because the horizon looks curved at ground level, and as it swings around and tilts around the horizon goes curved flat and concaved. However whenever a normal lens is used, the horizon remains flat at eye level for has far as the camera can see.
Now I am having a lot of trouble disproving the fact its flat at this point. I don’t see any curvature!
Now you might say hey those NASA guys told me I live on ball right? I’ve seen the pictures of earth from space. Well before you leave that comment watch ISS hoax on YouTube. Hey why the heck are there bubbles coming out of their helmets in space?
I have went out over a lake and perfomed my own curvature test. As far as I can tell, the earth has no curvature......
Now I just gave a lot of information to digest there so the last thing I want you to think about.
In this video a weather man is trying his hardest to explain why you can see the Chicago skyline from across lake Michigan. I used Google earth and calculated it was 56.48 miles from that park Grand Mere state park to Chicago. Why can you see the Chicago skyline, across lake Michigan? This weather man is going to get you to deny your logic and tell you its a mirage, weather infractions, heat inversion nonsense. Decide for yourself.
You can also type into google “how far away can you see your city” and find many examples of skylines you should not be able to see. Test it out for yourself
To calculate the curvature of the earth you take the distance and square it. Then times it by 8 inches. So for 1 mile its (11)(8)=8 inches of curvature per mile. So for two miles its (22)(8)=32 inches and so on and so fourth.
So for lake Michigan to be 56.48 miles away its
(56.48 * 56.48)(8)=25519.92 inches. That’s 2126.66 ft.
The tallest building in Chicago is the Sears Tower or Willis tower. It stands at 1,451ft. How can you see the Chicago skyline if the tallest building should be 675.66ft. below the horizon. Lots of other examples of this like, just search YouTube.
I have seen people on youtube passing off mirages as proof the earth has curvature. You decide......
