The Earth is Flat?

[Silver Arrows]

Some real Kyrie Irvings in this thread, alright.

Come on people, look at a picture or a video from outer space of the Earth. That's all you need to know.

I did and the NASA guy told me the photo's are CGI and he said they have to be CGI. I would love to see an actual picture of earth. There isn't one.

There is no NASA guy.

I could be wrong.

Not just about this.

If your keen for us to watch 2 hour long videos, how about you do us a solid and watch one 12min video?

 

[kikie]

Some mothers do ave em.

 

[TheGeologist]

I still want to know how plate tectonics, orogenies, earthquakes and other various geologic phenomena work on a flat Earth. I challenge someone to tell me.

EDIT...

You're officially trolling. Hope you get banned.

I'm done wasting my time on this bull crap.

Bye.

I don't believe you watched the entire 2 videos. I could be wrong.

Dude...

in which a man who believes the Earth is flat because it says that in the Bible (which it doesn't) cherry-picked some data from what he claims are NASA and CIA documents, without corroboration, to prove his argument (which is not how knowledge works), despite the fact that the excerpts he shows in the first 20 minutes of one don't support what he's saying, because he doesn't understand or is deliberately misrepresenting the words they contain.

He starts off by addressing someone questioning his previous video about the "geoid" by single-handedly not understanding what a geoid is. In fact that's not true, he starts off with a montage of literal exam paper questions that direct the student to "assume a flat, non-rotating Earth", as if exam papers where things are simplified in order to test the students' knowledge of motion equations are in some way relevant to anything.

Then he addresses the geoid question, and gets it straight up wrong... by cherry-picking sentences he claims are from a CIA document. Here's a screengrab:

I've added a red square. At no point does the presenter show all 19 pages of this document. In fact at no point does he show any numbered pages at all, which begs the question if they're even from this document. In fact at no point does he show any complete pages of any document. He shows small sections - one or two paragraphs - which he's highlighted and then talks about, incorrectly understanding what they say.

Remember what I asked for originally? These full documents, that you've seen, uploading to your post so that I can see them too.

Your videos not only don't show the full documents, they don't even show full pages, and might not even show any part of these documents (although I suspect they do, given how monumentally numbskulled this chap's understanding of what the sentences he's highlighting actually say).

Much of the rest of the videos are screengrabs of Wikipedia and Bible quotes. BIBLE quotes. There's a simply spectacular section titles "The Bible says Space Travel is IMPOSSIBLE". It doesn't - and if he can't even get the Bible right, the thing he's actually shilling, what hope does he have of getting scientific language right? And you're buying into it

There is no NASA guy.

"What, do you own space? No, NAY-SA does!"
"It's NASA!"

 

[kikie]

That's fake, there's no stars.

Spoiler: flat earth

flat earth logic

I will be waiting for a real picture. That is photo shop but if you believe it is real then it must be.

Like... assume there is no friction, or no drag... the "don't overthink this answer" cop-out for freshman physics.

 

[Carbonox]

I don't believe you watched the entire 2 videos. I could be wrong.

He could've watched both videos at the same time. Even with the two all mixed up into an incoherent mess, I reckon it'd make just as much sense as the average flat earth argument in a single video.

As this thread is testament too

What wasn't beautifull about this thread

Entertainment value 'over 9000'!

I wanted to ask about the space shuttle and it's purpose. Did you make it that far in or not?

You've quoted the wrong guy.

Geostationary images:



Before you ask, that's from a Russian weather satellite. Unless the weathermen are in on the conspiracy, too.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Nah, I pulled out a Trailer Park Boys reference because it was somewhat appropriate.

 

[quentin1974]

When I said the NASA guy I told me I am not saying Bill Nye but

The very beginning it says animation. Translation is CGI. CGI is not a real picture.

 

[PzR Slim]

Never has my recent fathers day present been more apt.

 

[TB]

The very beginning it says animation. Translation is CGI. CGI is not a real picture.

And what was the very next thing it said?

That's not what animation means.

Sorry, no insult intended but I think you don't know what "animation means in this context.

This animation was created from images produced by the geostationary Elektro-L weather satellite. Which means, real images taken by a real satellite edited to create this animation.



PS and edit: my postcount is going up very fast and that is the flat truth.

 

[baldgye]

That's not what animation means.

Oh, so when people say they are getting rather ‘animated’ it doesn’t mean turning into some 90’s CG render?

 

[TB]

This.

If it helps your brain, replace "animation" with "time lapse".

That is still CGI. There is no picture of earth that is not CGI. It could be a polaroid picture for all I care I just want a real picture.

 

[baldgye]

No you are wrong. That video is MANY PICTURES TOGETHER.

 

[Danoff]

It's really not...

You said you wanted one, you were given one. Your response is "there is no picture"... "I want a picture". You're denied the existence of the proof you're asking for, so of course you'll never find it. Someone could go to space, take a polaroid (those exist still right?) and hand it to you and you'd say "there is no real picture, this is CGI, I want a real picture".

Go to antarctica (not now, like 6 months from now) and report back.
