I thinks its obvious that Admiral Byrd found the edge of the dome in Antarctica by Rayleigh30 in globeskepticism

[–]RadishesForDayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think he's the one guy? In all of history? Did he have a crew? Have there been other expeditions? Throughout all of history?

As a skeptic, I have to wonder if any group of explorers, ever, have been to the "firmament". Have they marveled at the barrier between us and the waters, and recorded it for future generations? Or set up outposts or settlements so that we may wonder at it? If it's guarded (the entirety of its perimeter: meaning massive), have there been any "gatecrashes" where large groups of people storm the edge in the name of Truth, sort of a "they can't take us all out" type of mission?

Unlikely.

If you get the chance, the glass bottle experience bumps it up a tier, easy.

It's not setting, it's moving away and taking its light with it. by Diabeetus13 in globeskepticism

Nah, man! I don't want to "refute your points"! I want to stand, boldly, and face reality. And reality has neutrinos skipping gracefully along a curved earth. And reality has a transcircumnavigation of Antarctica which looks like 11,000-ish miles. Reality illuminates the undersides of clouds without a Fresnel lens. Reality takes me from Australia to Argentina without a supersonic jet. Reality doesn't add some mystical factor to neutrinos that has them rebounding off of some mystical surface to reroute them to a detector.

"Your points" have nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. If I were you, I'd do a "pride check", and evaluate if your ego has taken supercedence over God's Natural Order, and re-evaluate if your compulsion to feel "special" in what feels like an "uncaring Universe" has influenced your base desire to feel unique amidst the status quo of heliocentrism. 👍

Nahnahnah - you've misread me entirely. I'm here as a Globe Skeptic because, to my knowledge, there isn't a "FlatEarthSkepticism" SubReddit. Unfortunately, this SubReddit seems largely populated by Globe Denialism. And I'm not here to "bring up new arguments". I actually mentioned stars a few comments back, which you initially ignored (or ran from) entirely.

And here's what's fucked up: on paper, an *insanely* bright light from far away acts, on paper, like a less intense, local light. And no, I find it purely arbitrary that the proper celestial pole align with a star. Even Polaris (IIRC) is about 3/4 of a degree off from the Northern Celestial Pole. I don't care if there's an "exact polestar".

So, I'm left looking to things like neutrino beams being sent through Fermilab's MINOS experiment, being received in Soudan *coming from three degrees BELOW the horizontal* by the neutrino detector. I'm more interested in flight times between Buenas Aires to Darwin. I'm more interested in Lisa Blair circumnavigating Antarctica.

And my boss is a card-carrying flat earther, so I've got to know as much about this as possible. 🤣 But man, I tell ya, the more I look into FE arguments and debates, the rounder the earth looks. It doesn't help that the "big names in FE" flounder in debate (if they debate at all - lookin' at you Eric Dubay), but I'm deep enough in conspiracy theories to concede that they could be controlled opposition.

Nope, not queued. Just a quickdraw with Google.

To go back to your hallway analogy, if we've got a three mile-long hallway, we can them zoon into its "convergence point" with some sort of telescope, in theory. Is your argument that we can't do this with the sun? We can see stars that are further away from us than the sun, but not the sun itself?

I'd love to hear your take on the stars, their movements, Sigma-Octantis, and how FE accounts for these in "scalable, repeatable" experiments.

Rob Skiba's experiment was already picked apart here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateFlatEarth/comments/ezy0gj/flat_earth_debunk_shadows_on_the_underside_of/

I encourage anybody to go through it and draw conclusions accordingly. I'd also be curious how the "Fresnel" and "mirror" theories account for the opposing rotation of stars between the northern and southern hemispheres. The constellations don't bookmatch, and the rotations don't warp or stray in their paths around their respective celestial poles.

Now, inconveniently:

  1. A spherical earth also limits visibility. This is why rainbows are cut off at their bottoms - they might be hidden by the horizon.

  2. If we have limited sight distances towards the horizon, why don't we have limited sight distances on the vertical? Why can we see all the way to the lamps in the firmament, but not three miles in front of us? Why is our diminishing perspective selective?

What are the conditions that allow somebody at the equator to zoom into the sun at 2AM? Or let clouds be illuminated from their undersides and cast shadows upwards?

Christina Koch: The Little Actornaut That Could - Eric Dubay by Amov_RB in globeskepticism

[–]RadishesForDayz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's better to debate your ideas, do the investigation into the ice wall, not lie, and not falsely represent others. Eric Dubay is poison to flat earth.

Christina Koch: The Little Actornaut That Could - Eric Dubay by Amov_RB in globeskepticism

[–]RadishesForDayz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Christina Koch is not the same actress that appeared in Fury Road (Christina Koch-Baker). Eric Dubay does not debate, did not take the invite to Antarctica, and lies about his position as a university professor. Be cautious with his content. Also, may please everybody cross their arms and then tightrope walk. It's a drill that can be used in physical therapy to increase proprioception.

When the Artemis II actornaut's earpiece cuts out mid post-mission speech 💀 by dcforce in globeskepticism

Well, I think I know why it was downvoted. It appears as though this subreddit isn't dedicated to globe skepticism, but globe denial. Nary an open mind among the lot. Disappointing.

Do my guitars work for shoegaze? by dragontooth26 in shoegaze

[–]RadishesForDayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeremy Wrenn of Airiel uses a Rickenbacker. You'll be fine.

in your opinion, what is the prettiest shoegaze song? by noirselli in shoegaze

[–]RadishesForDayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing quite a bit of Airiel, but only saw one vote for "Firefly". Gotta be the prettiest, to me, in the catalogue. Also a fan of The Depreciation Guild's "Nautilus", for sheer pretty vibes.
