convince me the earth isnt flat

[Mrl HiGrnd]

But you have to remember that since one states that the earth is rotating then it must be accelerating (this is a key fact most forget). That's the peculiar thing about rotational motion, it's always accelerating because the object is always changing direction, albeit at the same velocity/speed.

So, you absolutely can calculate the force that acts on an object due to the acceleration that would arise from the earth spinning.

There are many formulas available online but I'll provide it.

F = mv2/R; F = Force (N), m = mass (kg), v = velocity (m/s), R = earth's radius (m)

Earths rotation is slowing down because of tidal friction from the Moons momentum. All your points are moot the burden of proof is on you and youve yet to say anything factual

I've said a couple of technically factual things. One that if the earth is rotating, then it is indeed accelerating and I also provided you with the formula.

I wanted you to do the calculation. Why won't you? All you have to do is substitute values. If you really want me to I will, but you've got to ask nicely.

How Fast is Earth Moving? Speed and Acceleration to Calculate Movement

How Fast is Earth Moving? Speed and Acceleration to Calculate Movement

The article states that it is 0.03392 m/s, we can calculate the force on any object since it is product of the mass and the acceleration (F = M * a).

This is where my belief that we are rotating begins to break down. Someone with my mass (80 kg) should experience a lateral force of about 2.77 kg*m/s^2 or about .6lbs. There is no such force, therefore there cannot be any rotation.

  Nobody has been to space. That's final

if we never went to space, we would never know how to launch shyt into orbit. some of that shyt in orbit includes satellites. satellites that feed you GPS, cell phone signals, and a whole host of other shyt. every single time you use your phone to find a location or even use it, you are literally contradicting yourself.

speaking of GPS, I wonder how GPS would work on a flat earth. It'd be rather interesting.

that pocture looks cool as fukk tho and it fits into my own personal theory of the earth being flat. i was always told to live my own life and not someone elses. just because someone tells me something i dont have to believe it until i see it for myself.

im not gonna lie right now. you can all sit here and believe everything science says like a donkey. but im gonna be honest. this image makes more sense to me than some round earth sphere shyt. and im going to save this picture. and this is now what i believe is really going on.

you are probably the dumbest person on the entire internet. and that's no mean feat. i'm literally impressed by your unparalleled idiocy
repped for stupidity

i recently flew on a plane to amsterdam. the plane was pretty high and i could see a lot. the earth was definetely flat. no curviture at all.

there you go

Playing devils advocate here, i dont believe in flat earth but wont deny that none of you guys can disprove it. I would like genuine answers to these queries.

• why does a flight from LAX to JFK at a constant 500mph take the same amount of time as JFK to LAX if the earth is supposed to be spinning in a certain direction?

The flight time from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport is:
5 hours, 26 minutes
In-air flight time: 5 hours, 26 minutes
From gate to gate: 6 hours, 2 minutes
Constant 500 mph: 4 hours, 57 minutes

The flight time from Los Angeles International Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport is:
4 hours, 51 minutes
In-air flight time: 4 hours, 51 minutes
From gate to gate: 5 hours, 19 minutes
Constant 500 mph: 4 hours, 57 minutes

• why does the UN logo contain the old flat earth image - and why do both depict antartica as a massive ring of ice surrounding the surface?

• 1. why was there no follow up to operation high jump, where the US attempted to beat the nazis to antartica. 2. Why was there such a race for this continent, and why after the establishment of the nazi new schwabia did all nations declare a treaty to not allow people onto the continent? 3. Why did admiral byrd say there was plenty of unexplored land on the continent but as of yet there's no images of even a border?

If the earth was flat you could go to an observatory anywhere on the earth and see mount everest

I thought flat earthers were crazy, but after watching these 3 documentaries...



How can it not be flat?

Spoiler

Don't reply to me if you haven't watched any of the docs first.

 

[OJ Simpsom]

there you go

This ain't real. Where's all the satellites and stars?
Watch the 3 docs above breh.

it was a joke breh.. .but seriously, you'll find some nonsense reply why these are fake too... but hey...
