Earth doesn't look flat hey lol
Good post OP

That water you depict, will not adhere to a sphere.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53525886


Why don't you figure it out for yourself?
Do you agree that a basketball is affected by "gravity"?
That it is bound by the Laws of Physics?
That it is on the Earth and therefore subject to the same forces?

Then take that basketball and force a layer of water to adhere to it while spinning it at a 1000mph.

When it flings in your face you will have your answer.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72325042


And you prove you have no sense of scale. First the basketball has far less mass. Second the spin is about 1000 mph but only because the Earth is so large. it still takes 24 hours to complete one rotation

It's really as simple as a glass of water. Water does not curve, see for yourself, put some in a curved bowl and watch it level out. Or take a tennis ball, wet it, and spin it. The water shoots off a the equator of the ball.

You fucking idiots are soo fucking brainwashed you don't even believe your fucking eyes anymore. And worse you explain away what your eyes see with theorys of magical forces that are conditional to your argument.

They fooled you, get over it
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18294348


Yes, water is the kryptonite of sphere earthers.
The behavior of water in any area of the Earth is observable to be flat and has no curvature whatsoever.
It will remain level or return to a level surface when not acted upon by wind or wave motion.

Certainly an ocean liner does not sail uphill to the equator and down vale in the ocean. It's an absurd notion.

There would be no such thing as a becalmed ocean. It'd be all downhill sailing! LoL.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72325042


yes, it absurd to think there should be any uphill. It only shows the flattie's ignorance.

The video was off topic.
The topic was how water does not adhere to a sphere-shaped Earth.
It doesn't.
It won't.
It hasn't.
And it isn't. So any little depictions that NASA shows that are of a round Earth are false and are simply the product of artist rendered drawings.

I don't think that was water used in the video and it was so short a time span who cares?
If the video were sustained for several hours because NASA are well known hoaxers.

In any case, I've seen lava lamps do the same thing without the huge expenses. Same principles.

Why would it magically lose the rotational inertia it had when it lifted off from the earth?

Oh right, it wouldn't, you're just a moron.
 Quoting: The Deplorable Astromut


Why does a sniper bullet (supposedly)?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9233880


It doesn't. That's just it, it retains the inertia it had at the latitude it was fired from. That inertia causes the apparent deflection of its trajectory if shot north or south as it travels into a slightly different latitude with a slightly different rotational velocity compared to its point of origin.
 Quoting: The Deplorable Astromut


Wouldn't that inertial velocity match the supposed spin of the earth? Why would it go off target in a north/south matrix?

it is different between the poles and the equator. It has been measured. But the max centrifugal force is less than 1/2 of one percent of gravity so it is unlikely to be noticed physically.

Re: Lost Weather Balloon GoPro Found Two Years Later with Astounding Shots of Earth from Space
I hate these flat earth arguments. I'm fairly unbiased from a scientific perspective. If you can prove it, I'll believe it. If you can't, it's simply conjecture. I have personally been at altitudes higher than 30,000ft and with my OWN naked eye, I have seen the curvature of the earth. Besides that, there is far more evidence proving the roundness of the earth than there is the so-called flatness of it. Why is it that every other object in space is spherical? Literally, EVERY OTHER OBJECT save the dwarf planets, ie. Pluto, which even it has a somewhat spherical shape. It takes much more faith to believe the earth is flat, considering the ever-growing lack of evidence, than it does to believe it's round. So Nasa's a propaganda machine, so what? Explain how a flat surface can have so much gravity EQUALLY all around (no pun intended there). Yes, there are in fact "concaves" or nonsymetrical features to Earth. I'll admit, it's not a perfectly round basketball. But it IS round(ish). You can't fall off the thing if you travel far enough. I usually don't bother offering my 2cent in these types of arguments but my God people, seriously... Build your own, non "fish-eyed" lense & send your own balloon up. I was about to add I've never seen such stupid people before but then this customer just walked in that proved me wrong...

How many times do I need to post this before you get it? Tell me dumbass, how fast would you be moving with the rotating earth while standing at one of the poles? How fast would you be moving while standing at the equator? Are those numbers the same? No? Well then... your latitude matters, doesn't it?

A sniper shot is dealing with 1000s of ft. Not 10,000 miles.

LMAO. You're becoming quite a desperate idiot trying to keep up with all these magical principles. Not once did I try to engage with any behavior other than asking questions.

Now, you're comparing earth spin of a sniper shot to the equator spin vs pole spin?

You're comical relief now, and that's basically it. I bet you get fired soon

It doesn't. That's just it, it retains the inertia it had at the latitude it was fired from. That inertia causes the apparent deflection of its trajectory if shot north or south as it travels into a slightly different latitude with a slightly different rotational velocity compared to its point of origin.
 Quoting: The Deplorable Astromut


Wouldn't that inertial velocity match the supposed spin of the earth? Why would it go off target in a north/south matrix?

Right, I'm the one pissing mad trying to prove to people I've never met, that the earth is round and spinning. LMAO.

Not magical. Proportional to mass. Proven by the Cavendish experiment and the MANY times it has been repeated.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70186654


LMAO at the many times the Cavendish experiment has been repeated.

Every time I tried to learn the experiment from the physicist side, they couldn't recreate it - yet take a 230 year old experiment as gospel.

NOBODY has replicated his results. Nor will they.

Or your loose change would rotate mountains and tic tacs would roll off the counter towards your fridge.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9233880


Yeah, it's like, why don't babies rotate around Rosie O'Donnell when they go near her? Cavendish can eat a bag of dicks. An experiment all about mass attracting other mass using 350 pound metal balls, when the walls he built around his experiment to keep wind out weighed far more than the balls themselves.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72992616


So you also have no sense of scale. How sad for you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70186654


Cavendish’s actual apparatus consisted of two 12” lead balls weighing 348lbs each. These were the attracting spheres. The spheres to be attracted were 2” in diameter and weighed 1.61lb each.

But it is proof of nothing. Cavendish didn’t even bother to include the weight of his walls. He had a 348 lb ball 9” away, and a multi-thousand pound wall 24” away. Sure, only one point on the wall is 24” away; other parts are varying distances, but the wall is not negligible however you look at it.

You should find it very mystifying that all these scientists not only ignore huge masses only two feet away, masses that may or not be balanced, they also ignore the need to say why they can ignore these masses.

Then do the math. How much would the wall attract it? YOU think it would be a problem, YOU should show it.
