That is a nice optical illusion you have there. Too bad it relies on lines emanating from the center to achieve the illusion of curvature. Last time I checked the sky there are not dozens of straight lines emanating from the horizon to a central vanishing point.
Really! Then why do polarized sunglasses work so well?  I am not sure what sense this makes in your harebrained mind, but polarized glasses work by blocking one axis of photons. Photos travel in many different directions, but polarized lenses block one axis, and allow the other to flow thru it. This is why if you take two polarized lenses and stack them and turn one of them, it becomes completely opaque, as both of the axis of light are blocked. Care to explain how you think this supports your argument? how do you know the Sun is a "body"?
It exists. So do rainbows. Uh, rainbows are nothing but a temporary phenomena of light refracted in water particles. The sun has huge mass and is persistent. That is why the sun is a body, and a rainbow isn't. How do you know the information you're being given isn't a lie? The only way you know the Sun is a huge mass is because you've been told its so. If you look up, all you can say for sure is that it's a big bright spot in the sky. |

why do you think there is a solar system?
The Earth is part of a system of bodies, in which there is a Sol. There is a Solar system. Or maybe you can arrogantly call it an Earthen system. You may be assuming too much, how do you know the Sun is a "body"? |

 I suppose I've never considered a ball more than just a spherical object. However, now that you've cast some light on the subject it does appear to be more than just that. Giving it some thought it seems to have subjective qualities enough so that non-spherical objects can be appropriately termed a "ball". Perhaps emergence can explain the balls multitude of forms and uses. In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is a process whereby larger entities, patterns, and regularities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities that themselves do not exhibit such properties.

LOL, WAT?
why do they make a point to say it is not associated with apple? are they trying to let you know this is NOT apple pay? i'm confused why they require this statement right up front. Maybe Steve Jobs was Satoshi?  |

How about killer bees, is it safer than killer bees?
Bears don't mind killer bees, but that is not the topic either... "The African honey bee was first introduced to Brazil in the 1950s in an effort to increase honey production; but, in 1957, 26 swarms accidentally escaped quarantine and, since then, have spread throughout South and Central America and arrived in North America in 1985." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africanized_beeThey can't contain a giant engineered bee and we're suppose to believe they can keep microbes under wraps? We're on topic here IMO. |

These guys are so hard-up to see me lose all my money that they're willing to be charged with an indictable offence rather than provide a refund. Good luck at the trial boys, you're going to need it as you don't have a leg to stand on.

Police said they confiscated over $10,000 in cash, five crack pipes and a baby alligator.
Seems legit. |

Is the Moon a hologram? I've crafted the following image depicting how this might work:  Based on your image, the moon would appear to grow larger the further you get away from it due to the pinhole lens effect. Even your own explanations are self contradictory. The firmament acts like the screen in a rear-projection TV. On a side note the Moon does get bigger the closer to the horizon it gets (farther away from the observer) although I assume that's due to being magnified by the atmosphere. Keep in mind this is an XXL extreme tinfoil hat speculative theory.  |

OK, so if any of this tinfoil hat stuff about the firmament is true, you guys realize that there's most likely supercritical water on the other side right? You need anti-matter to punch a hole in it, this means it's holding back a stupid amount of pressure. If you want to check out the other side I highly recommend getting that teleporter working IMO.
...
BTW, can some one tell me how NASA made the earth appear curved to me when I went up in a hot air balloon a few years back? Your excuse for airplanes is curved viewing ports, what is your explanation for hot air balloons, tall buildings, and mountaintops?
 Also, you're predisposed to believe there's a curvature. |
