You want proof of a round Earth? Here you go...

Ok, I'm here. Watch the video very carefully.

The curves you see are not consistent at all. You can see the horizon as all of flat, concave and convex at various points in the video. Consider at 3:00 https://youtu.be/ZCAnLxRvNNc?t=177 Do you see how massively the curve changes in half a second? Watch for 10 seconds at this point: https://youtu.be/ZCAnLxRvNNc?t=237

How can it be conclusive evidence of anything when you see such warping? Is the curvature of the earth changing in those few seconds?

There are a disappointingly large number of cuts in the video, I wish they would have shown the whole thing.

well said

Just to play devil's advocate, this wouldn't prove that we aren't on a small section of a very large planet the size of say Jupiter, the Earth section being surrounded by a circle of Antarctic ice

Yes but that is not what is in question. Some people actually believe that the earth is flat....

No, some people say the earth is not a sphere. This video does not prove anything. I suggest you research what they say before posting videos to debunk. This doesn't prove anything. Why did the balloon pop?

I dont have to research anything, I already know for a fact that the earth is not flat. This is for the benefit of all the idiots that actually believe the earth is flat. Why dont I have to research it? NASA has already done it for us...

You take what a government agency dictates to you as truth without questioning it? Have you even looked at the material that NASA produces?

I wasn't able to consider flat earth until I spent some time on NASA and saw how ridiculous they are. Start there first.

Always gotta go visit reelnasa for a few chuckles now and again.

Right, this.

So of all the celestial bodies in the observable universe that can be seen by any amateur with a telescope, we just happen to be the only flat surface in a galaxy surrounded by spheres?

Also, what purpose does lying to us about the shape of the earth have? Who benefits from knowing "the truth"?

This is a trick of labeling. We label earth as a planet, and celestial bodies as planets, so through the language there is a connection made between the properties of the two. Earth is the only place where we are which makes it unique.

This question is about motivation, it is not something that you can physically prove first hand, so any answer I give is just speculation. The explanation for 'why' that I accept is that those perpetrating the ball earth hoax do not want us to know the importance of our existence. If we are just a random occurrence of matter in an infinite universe then nothing we do is important. If, however, we are the center of the universe with the sun, moon and stars revolving around us it would seem that our existence and what we do with our time does matter.

Explain how you can fly from LA to Hong Kong then? While also being able to,fly from NY to London?

fucking

lol

well said sir

So just get spoon fed information? Science, FTW. You are lazy. Kraft miracle whip did all the research and it's good, I think it's good!

Not at all. I am the biggest skeptic I know, especially when it comes to the government. I do however have a uncle that has been a pilot for many years, and this conversation has been discussed between us before. You are lazy, Reality FTW...

Dude, I'm a pilot and my uncle flew on the Apollo mission. See how we can make up lies on the internet? I also fucked Miley Cyrus. There is no proof in what you are saying, except for the fact you take their word for it. Have you ever been up there? Nope, you are relying on the same government that told you, the Nazi's were evil while they secretly snuck them in to create NASA. You're lazy and delusional.

I may be but you are crazy...good luck in your future endeavors.

I hope you get banned for wasting moderator time on pointless reports.

OK....

Wait, what's this about earth being a small part of a planet the size of jupiter? First time i hear this "theory"

He's just giving an example.

I want to call it right now. The loudest 'evidence' that this is fake, will be fish-eye lens. Or they won't show up.

[Edit] Fish-eye lens count : 1

You are probably right. Still better than any evidence than these flat earthers have ever produced.

I'm curious if anyone shows up. I know some of the Flat Earth people are here right now, in the other thread.

Here's some obviously faked footage from the ISS , they're actually just going around and around the top of the flat earth in a loop to fool you.

Edwards AFB at 1:50. Coincidence? I think not.

if you freeze frame 3:59 mark for example and hold a piece of paper up to your screen.....looks pretty flat to me......ijs....i'm not a believer of flat earth..i'm a doubter of everything..this vid doesn't sell me on either

The curves in the video are because of the camera's lens.

but how do you know that that's where the camera is looking directly on the horizon. The fish eye lense thing could go both ways. if the earth is a globe a fish eye could make it look flat and vice versa.

agreed...this video imo doesn't do a thing for either side of the argument

You can see the horizon concave through the whole video thanks to your fish eye lens. You just proved a flat earth.

Horizons are funny man.

Well they use the horizon thing in this video so they ignore it. Sides what would be the benefits of the earth being flat to people who could make a profit or anyone in general?

hiding more land on an infinite plain

Lol who nowadays believes the earth is flat? Wtf is wrong with people

Welcome to /r/conspiracy "Last night I thought about cereal, and today my fruit loops tasted funny. Is the government trying to scare me into killing myself and blame China?!?!?!? Also zionist and Rothschild. Throw Lord Xenu in while you're at it."

Most of the posts here are batshit insane.

I mean I can conspiracy with the best of them...but the earth is flat? Come on people..seriously.

It is necessary to allow government designed, created and sponsored 'way-out-there' folks to do their thing.

Just means we need bigger shovels I suppose.
