Solar eclipse glasses in high demand as Las Vegas stores sell out

Conclusion: There's no fear of Las Vegas casinos going broke anything soon.

If you want to find out for yourself about the flatness of the earth, use the horizon method. Here's what to do.

1. Get a transit and mount it in the ocean floor, on a beach, so that the center-line of the transit scope is at the level of the water.

2. Get a model sailboat with a mast the top of which is 2 feet above the water. Place it so that the sailboat waterline can be seen at the transit center-line. This should be right in front of the transit... right up against the transit.

3. Have a friend "drag" the model sailboat away from the transit, all the while keeping an eye on the boat through the transit. You might need walkie-talkie to remain in contact with your friend.

4. If the top of the mast never reaches the center-line of the transit, the earth just might be flat. If it does, measure the distance between the boat and transit.

5. Use trigonometry and calculus to determine the curvature of the earth.

There are waters in the Caribbean that are shallow and calm for great distances. You can do this while on vacation.

Take out your computer, go to google earth, and take a look
Without modern technology, I believe there are also ways to check if the earth is not flat, remembered it from the museum.

FE people believe this stuff ^^^ is all a conspiracy. They have to be able to examine the proof personally somehow. How can they do it?

I mean, suppose it IS all a conspiracy. Or maybe it is the FE stuff that is the conspiracy. How can we all prove it to ourselves first hand one way or the other?

[Skillboard]

There are people here who genuinely believe this...

Okay my reasoning is the earth must be flat, if it wasn't flat I would roll off it. Since I'm not rolling, it has to be flat. Also on a map the earth is portrayed in a flattened state, that wouldn't be possible if the earth where a sphere. Yes I am certain!!

[chouxnative]

This topic is too long

[HarmlessBlueberry]

It really is too long

[chouxnative]

the earth is flat. 100% confirmed

Translated; Your logic is flawed. Please try again if you desire to play in this space with us donning big boy pants. Currently, you're not welcome in either camp, so since you're between camps with me, could I interest you in a can of warm beer?

My YouTube search has aids.  





edit:

OK so I hit the refresh button, maybe it was a glitch I think... and I got this.

edit2:

So I closed the tab and reloaded the youtube search and answered the captcha and I got this.



18.4 million flat earth videos.



edit3:

Look at all those views on that top video, I wonder why it's such popular video that it gets to the top of my search results of 18.4 million videos?

Bless you.









There are 66 books of the Bible.

This is no longer a discssion. a place for some to merely argue with each other

[mevmike]

if we bring in the bible into this, I say the earth is indeed flat...
I am an advocate of my religion a i believe what is says.
The scientist, astronomers can say it is elliptical, but until i cant prove it myself then ill say its flat.

[nomad13666]

The Bible was written by the same people who hid the flat earth truth.

Now they are revealing the truth, and few believe it.

What a diabolical web they weave.

It's a very nice picture you shared with us, Brother. Whatever shape the Earth is, what's important is that we know how to take care of the Earth and it's inhabitants the animals, and also with our fellow peoples.

When lightning strikes you can hear the echo off the steel dome.






edit:

I'm an idiot, saw this argument on a YouTube video but didn't think it out all for some reason.

[BADecker]

When lightning strikes you can hear the echo off the steel dome.

Mwahahahahahahaha!

The speed of sound is 743 mph - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound. The reverberations following lightening or thunder are only a few seconds away. At the speed of sound, this places the dome right on top of us. There isn't even any room for jets to fly in the sky.


Don't straight jet trails tell us the sky is flat? FE people are caught between the flat earth and the flat sky. They are flat as pancakes.

Mwahahahahahahaha!

^^^^^  A bunch of you FE people should get together and win the prize! I mean, you wouldn't have far to fly to do it. Mwahahahahahaha.

Lunar XPrize extends mission deadline and adds extra milestone prizes.

After over 10 years and multiple deadline extensions, it is hoped that this is the final elay for what has undeniably been an ambitious competition to get the first privately funded spacecraft onto the Moon.

The competition initially began with a rather straightforward brief – fly a spacecraft to the Moon, land, travel 500 m (1,640 ft) and transmit HD video back. The first entity to achieve those milestones would snatch a prize of US$20 million. As the years progressed, the creators of the challenge recognized the degree of difficulty of what they were asking and added several million dollars in developmental milestone awards.

In January the competition was whittled down to five serious contenders, who all secured launch contracts to take off sometime in 2017. Up to now the competition has stipulated that each mission must be launched by December 31, 2017.
