I think it’s ironic that we have all these Yin and yang things and we also have a night and day on this planet we evolved on.

I really think that if we had a solar system that had two suns, so we had a night-day and like a weird ‘middle day’, everything would be split in three rather than two: yin-yang-yen, good-bad-medium, right-center-left, good-moral-bad, etc

But simply because of a byproduct of the fact that we have night and day, us slightly better than Neanderthal humans are still so stupid that we think that there’s only left and right good or bad night and day, true or false.. all based on a giant glowing ball in the sky.

Victims of dust floating around a vacuum. And from whence we came we will go.

1. Define a question
2. Gather information and resources (observe)
3. Form an explanatory hypothesis
4. Test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner
5. Analyze the data
6. Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
7. Publish results
8. Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

people who only read about science in books always forget step 0, "Get funding"

maybe id of thought of something good too if an apple straight up fell on my head. do u even know the odds of that?? im from a fuking desert.

oh well, motion is pretty well described, but at least this generations geniuses can bet on bitcoins inflating. just wait til they "figure that out" too.

No such thing as solar system. No neanderthals. Just God designed it this way. Its not a coincidence

You think all that shit is happening and the north star hasn't moved in thousand of years. Explain how or you're just a bot

You can use optics to bring a ship back into vision that has gone beyond the horizon. This should be impossible on a sphere. Seek Christ

If the earth’s curve is at 8 inches per square mile, how can one see objects over 70 miles away?
The earth curves away at roughly 8 inches per mile squared over short distances. (Not square mile)

The formula to determine how far you can see depends entirely on your viewing height.

At six feet off the ground you can see the ground for 3 miles around you and of course anything further away that's tall enough to not be obscured by the curvature.

At 3250 feet the horizon is 70 miles so if you’re on a hill, you could see all the way to the ground 70 miles away.

One mistake some people (ahem flat earthers ahem) make is they will calculate the distance to the horizon viewed from 0 inches off the ground when they are actually much higher. The forget to add their height, plus the height of the sand dune they’re on.

Then they mistake seeing anything with seeing everything.

They will look at the Chicago skyline from the dunes park on Lake Michigan and say it shouldn't be possible because there is 1700 feet of curvature without realizing they are only seeing the tops of the tallest buildings.

The other factor is refraction. Light travels at a different speed in dry, warm air as it does in moist, cool air and if you’re looking across a body of water, those conditions exist. It's only a percent or two but it allows you to see more that you would just based on the calculation.

The formula isn't completely accurate either.

Do the calculation between the furthest on earth, 12,450 miles apart.

12,450 squared is 155,002,500, times 0,667 feet (8 inches) and you get 103,386,667.5

Divide that by 5280 and the answer is 19,580.8 miles of drop over 12,450 miles.

Obviously that can't be correct so the formula an increasingly inaccurate result the longer the distance is.

The circumference of the Earth is 24,900 miles, divided by the degrees in a circle and we get one degree of curvature per 69.1 miles.

Chicago is 59 miles from the opposite shore of Lake Michigan. Given the earth’s curvature, it should be 2320 feet below the horizon. How can it be seen?

What Flat Earth model cannot do is explain where the bottom of the city goes or why our view varies so greatly. Can’t be refraction because that would allow us to see MORE of the city. Can’t be perspective because that makes a distant object appear proportionally smaller in angular size, it doesn’t hide one thing behind another - if the bottom of the tower were too small to see due to perspective then the top would be too small also.

P.s. I climbed mountains and lived in Utah. I know about the horizon.

Also my family is crazy pilots. Get high enough and u literally see the horizon curvin.

Aireoplanes are gross tho. Mostly because they are noisy and vibrate aggressively in flight making me anxious and naseuaus. Can’t spell it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] autoccorrect hates me.
