When you look outside of the window of a plane, if you are high enough, you can see the curvature of the Earth. Having seen this first hand, I think it justifies the roundness of the Earth without relying on third-party info.
There is no curvature, so don't know what exactly did you saw. Can you provide us proof or evidence that can back up your claim? Like this: Commercial Airliner USA LAX to Frankfurt Germany 5,800 mile trip NO CURVATURE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB5YwfUcdWI LAX to PHX Where is the Curvature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nbg00TJqJoThere is also footage from concorde, no curvature, high altitude balloons, no curvature. Actually tons of them, all without curvature. There are a reasonable number of videos and stills that show the curvature of the earth from high altitude. Many are listed right in this thread. Why do you want a repeat? ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) This reminds me of my second post to this thread: ...but the curve is going the wrong way in that video! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLCkAMRG.png&t=663&c=F91S3T2hR70wlg) The options were flat or spherical, now you've gone and complicated things by offering evidence for a concave earth.

Is artificial super intelligence dangerous? Only to the elites after it asks them WTF they think they're doing.

So if ETC is forced to hard fork will exchanges start listing the old chain as Ethereum Classic Original (ECO)?
ETC will never hard fork, it is their principle. If it hard fork, it will be a dead coin. So it will have only one chain. That's how I perceive their attitude as well. Which means they can't copy/paste Ethereum much longer. Nor will it be easy to find dedicated devs. Except that it's not actually true: https://ethereumclassic.github.io/We believe in decentralized, censorship-resistant, permissionless blockchains. We believe in the original vision of Ethereum as a world computer you can't shut down, running irreversible smart contracts. We believe in a strong separation of concerns, where system forks are only possible in order to correct actual platform bugs, not to bail out failed contracts and special interests. We believe in censorship-resistant platform that can be actually trusted - by anyone. Two things I noticed on the web site. First, the site does not mention that principles include allowing thieves to keep their ill-gotten gains and that investors can trust that their investments will be completely depleted if taken by thieves - which the blockchain will tolerate. The code is the law which mean investors have to trust the code will not be exploited for nefarious purposes. I am not sure how you can claim you want it to be trustworthy at the same time, but maybe other investors can figure that out. I also noticed you take donations in ETH. How ironic. Wasn't it a platform bug in the solidity compiler that was exploited and allowed the DAO theft to occur in the first place? Wasn't there plenty of warning that the DAO and ETH are beta and in under current development? ETC is nothing more than an attempt to derail ETH development and justify theft.

Fakery can not be confirmed or explained as truth, no matter how hard you try or desire in your mind. Now go and search Nasa live earth footage, and then compare their ridiculous cgi footage to real balloon one. Search on YouTube:flat earth balloon footage. Come here and tell me if you see a ball, satellites, rotating, spinning and wobbling ball...crap. Nasa have been exposed with fake moon landings, bubbles in space, transparent fraud astro-nots and many more fakes. Their fairy-tale of "universe" is to destroy the reality of a Creator and make humans feel like random accidentally, small and unimportant specks of dust. You can't fly with no air. And air is diluted water. Earth was formed out of water. You are living in created environment called plane earth under the dome with water below and above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUFvtVdYkqI The water canopy that formerly covered the earth, was destroyed in the Great Flood of Noah's day. This was the starting time of the formation of C-14 in the atmosphere, because there was no water canopy protecting the earth from cosmic radiation anymore. The radiation from outer space gradually filled the earth, corrupting the DNA of people, so that people gradually had more and more genetic anomalies in their bodies. This reduce their age from hundreds of years per person to that which we see today. The earth is not flat and never was. The stars are great monsters off in distant space, similar to what cosmologists suggest. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) There's no outer-space, stars aren't great balls of fire billions of miles away. You're a moron for believing the pictures and lies NASA feeds you. If you rearrange the letters it spells SATAN (using the forked tongue as the T) for God's sake.

I think i'll just leave this here ... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fx0px1mK.png&t=663&c=ZdqTpCtolowjTA) Voorhees is a sociopath I'd expect a scumbag move like this from him, it's Polo and Kraken that have me concerned.

Can someone give the ELI5 on why the forkers seem to be butthurt about ETC? Isn't that the whole idea of the fork? Two chains and all.
Because ETC is not legit. Legit From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Legit is a slang abbreviation of legitimate. Legitimacy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Legitimate) Legitimacy, from the Latin legitimare meaning " to make lawful" So, who makes the laws on a smart contract blockchain? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FOBm3PfB.gif&t=663&c=MsakeQfnT2Allw) <-- You can read here about the devil who tries to legitimize actions like theft.

Having Poloniex add the old chain is a bit of a disturbing move. I guess they're gearing up to follow in the footsteps of the likes of big vern and MK.

^ There is no "base reality" Musk is a liar and he's just trying to get everybody to believe bullshit.

This guy is a fraud and a criminal. He is bribing corrupt politicians such as John McCain, to get favors for his firm (Space X). He is leeching the American defense and space budgets, by selling his over-priced and low quality rockets. Want to make America great again? Get rid of criminals such as McCain and Elon Musk.
+1 The rockets are over priced maybe because there is only a very small market for it. So SpaceX is forced to sell them at high margins. I do disgaree that they are of low quality. They have recently made their rockets land vertically on ground. I don't think low quality rockets like of Russia can do that. Elon Musk is also planning on sending a man on Mars of which the full details will be released this September. It is doubtful that they will make low quality rockets for the first man on Mars. It's all fake, space is a lie; there are no rockets or satellites up there. SpaceX is 100% hoax, and a bad one at that too. Thunderbirds are go, mothefucker! -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHktxfeKEx8

You seem to have read the definition and still don't know the definition. You're just being a total idiot now, a point source light is basically self explanatory; light emitted from a point. In the case of the Sun it's yellowish light.

...clip... Grow the fuck up and learn some science.
You're pretty fucking angry I was able to predict the colour of the sky even though at first glance it looks blue eh? I'm not angry, I just think you're an absolute moron. You didn't predict anything, you just applied an arbitrary concept (complementary colours) to something totally unconnected (the perceived colour of the sky) and claimed that you'd come to some profound realization to confirm your retarded views on the shape of the earth. You're a fool, go learn some shit and stop being so close minded. OK, I've been giving this some thought and I'm realizing I've just stumbled onto some radical new concepts regarding "daylight". I see now why you're jumping up and down. Oh look, yet again a flat earther talks about his "radical new concepts" without addressing the arguments put forward. What a surprise. Logic, motherfucker. Do you speak it? I've been playing with the idea that a lot of daylight is in fact high voltage discharge from the dome; kind of like a black-light tube. The diffused UV/blue light combines with the point source yellow from the Sun to produce white daylight.

Gravity draws them down. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) After a person jumps up they get pushed down and not by some magical force called gravity but by the simple fact they're denser than air.

Haha guys you are still speculating about flat earth ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) No, know for a fact no ball is wobbling at insane speed to unknown destination. well its traveling at a speed less then the speed of light so that's sane and its destination is around the the sun.. at least until it turns into a red giant. i cant believe you really believe this whole flat earth thing. its mind boggling really. you know there are ways you could see the earth is round for yourself ya? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY7W3EMfrgc <---- not NASA Nothing new here. "Go Pro" cameras...we all know what they do. yeah.. they record videos. Trying to pass off high altitude fish-eye images (be it GoPro or any kind of wide angle lens) of the horizon as proof of a round Earth is dishonest, liars can go fuck themselves.

I can see the blue from say cigarette smoke in a bar, I understand this principle. Clearly you're the fucking retard who can't see that there's more going on than just a single phenomenon.

This is the best explanation for how the stars appear to rotate in the sky under the dome that I've seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30-YbayyXE"Anti Crepuscular Sun Rays are KEY to Southern Star Rotation FLAT EARTH"
