Facts about the Earth:

a) The surface of the earth is flat. (proven with a telephoto lens and by the flat horizon)
b) The Earth is surrounded by 100% pure distilled water not empty space/vacuum. (evidenced by a 1/2 ton block of ice that fell out of the sky)
c) The sky is covered by a firmament or dome to keep the water out. (source the Bible)
d) The firmament is yellow or gold. (source the Masons)
e) The surface of the Earth is inside a sphere half filled with rocks and water. (source the Jews)
f) The Moon and the Sun orbit in a circle above the flat surface. (source the Chinese and proven with a sextant)

There's a famous quote about playing chess with a pigeon that comes to mind here.

At a distance you can see both ends of a straight and level tunnel through a mountain. Up close at one end you can't see the other end. After a long journey through the tunnel you begin to see a light at the other end. Looking down the tunnel at the spark of light it appears to be approximately 6'9" off the ground. You can make out a figure standing in the light, just an outline.

You're not going to tell me that the tunnel is fucking curved to explain why the guy at the other end appears 6'9" off the ground are you? Because I'll tell you right now the tunnel is flat and level and the observer standing at a distance can prove it with a photograph of the mountain.

About 150 years ago a 1/2 ton block of distilled water ice fell out of the sky. Please do not argue with the 1/2 ton block of ice, thank you.

Ok, the water that is falling is distilled water. The guys who build thing with bricks seem to indicate that our submarine is a gold sphere.

Actually, if you have ever been on the ocean or another large body of water you can see the curvature of the earth. Look out at a boat on the ocean as it moves away from you

As the boat travels away from you it visually moves up towards the vanishing point at the horizon (at eye level). Once it passes the vanishing point the image becomes blocked by the ocean image that rises up to eye level until the boat finally disappears. Physically the boat isn't moving up at all, it's moving forward.

If you look at the horizon it forms a perfectly flat line 360° around you. If you relocate your position so the boat is traveling from right to left or vice-versa and you're at a distance far enough so that the boat is traveling along the horizon you'll notice the boat doesn't fly up off into the sky nor does it dive down into the water.

The line that forms the horizon matches the contour of the ocean and it's perfectly flat. You can see on the ocean an expanse along the horizon that stretches for hundreds of miles and it's flat.

A better question is why would someone be naive enough to think we are the only intelligent life form in existance


That depends on what your definition of intelligence is and how high you raise the bar to meet that criteria. I've seen a dog do some very "intelligent" things.

Just look at the following quote
I don't believe, its bullshit I think =)

It stinks.

Quote

Now, imagine this:
To limit our view, let's say in our nearby galaxy there are at least 10 solar systems similar to ours.

I'd say your view is limited if you believe we're in a solar system.

Now, imagine they did the same historical path,wars, improve tech, philosophy, wars, more tech.
Imagine this now: where we are now, they passed it 1000 yrs ago.
They visit us, they pass as mute people, learn our language, pass on another country and starts learning stuff, and we are been visited by them from time to time.

On our flat Earth, when the sun is directly overhead here in Sandwich, IL, which countries around the plane are experiencing nighttime?
It's very basic but gets the job done.

The sections on perspective and flatness of the horizon are proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

This video is a game changer.

There are many applications available to display just that kind of information. Just select the Flat Earth map projection (Azimuthal equidistant) in the options when viewing the output.

yes i do. the universe is bigger than what we can only imagine, and just like we need different tv channels to watch god also needs different species to entertain himself/herself.

Ok, I don't know exactly what they/he were/was doing but Microsoft just patched it. The attack has to be more than just on the Bitcoin network, as you can see whatever MS changed in the last update fixed it.

Here's today's snapshot with the patch being applied just before 12 PM.



Here's a week long snapshot.



Looks like this new attack started on the 8th.

Microsoft patching bitcoin? Source for your graphs please. Statoshi shows there is still a problem:



Obviously MS isn't patching bitcoind directly but their patch clearly resolved the issue. The source of the graph is p2pool. Finally, I don't consider a backlog of spam an issue; I reject everything under 0.0005 BTC as spam.

I have questions...

#1 what does the graphs show? The x axis is unlabelled.

#2 What MS patch are you talking about?

1) That's my hash rate over time.

2) Not sure, MS automatically installs updates and I haven't bothered see what was installed; KB articles tend to be a dry read.

The Ice is Falling! The Ice is Falling!

http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa020700a.htm

"For the past month, mysterious falls of large chunks of ice have rained down on Italy and Spain. But these are just the latest instances of a phenomenon that has occurred at least for centuries.

...

Professor Jesus Martinez Frias, the geologist investigating the ice falls in Spain, told BBC News, “The most surprised person of all by this phenomenon is me.”"

http://www.oewf.org/en/2015/02/interview-with-prof-jesus-martinez-frias-redespa-director/

"Prof. Dr. Jesús Martinez-Frias, Senior Scientist at Instituto de Geociencias and Professor “Ad Honorem” at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, has an impressive professional career. He has participated in numerous scientific projects (e.g. IGCP, NASA, ESA, NATO) and combines his expertise on Planetary Geology and Astrobiology with aspects on Geoscience Education and Geoethics. Here he gives us some insights into his work – also for the Spanish Network of Planetology and Astrobiology (REDESPA)."

I do not believe that the Earth is flat. That is my opinion and I will stick with that.

"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
So what is your opinion on the Earth's shape?

Flat-shaped, disc-shaped, or spherical (almost)?


The surface we live on looks flat to me.

Lol, at digging your way to heaven.
so what happens if we dig down?

do you think the sun is a sphere or flat as well

a) If we dig down I suspect that we eventually get to the firmament.

b) I think that the Sun is a slightly concave disk, perhaps a projection on the firmament dome.

It seems "they" prefer to twist the truth rather then straight out lie. If any of this is correct then our plane(t) if you include the firmament is a giant under water/ice golden globe with a flat area of separation between the air above and the land and sea below. As the song goes "we all live in a yellow submarine".
