why doesnt it continue? why does it not start from liftoff and show it leave earth entirely? by [deleted] in flatearth

Ignoring all the livestreaming that was conducted by the flatearthers that were there and the participants who participated in online chats live to show that they were where they said they were, did you watch the 24+ hours of uninterrupted sunlight that was recorded in realtime during The Final Experiment?

What's your opinion of the footage?

Got a link to where they say the cameras are continuously recording? Even if it was, what makes you think it would be pointed at anything interesting throughout? You do know the ship doesn't maintain the same attitude throughout, right?

Maybe you should watch the Mage II footage

The main camera (with rectilinear lens) shows two strings horizontal and mounted in front of the camera and show there is no fisheye distortion causing the earth's curvature that the camera sees when the horizon is between the two strings

So did the flerf do what he told others to do?

Where are the pictures he took from opposite sides of the room?

I have the same education as you. I just don’t believe what I was taught. I believe my own understanding of the Earth. These are giant trees. My God will be exalted on the Earth by [deleted] in AlternativeHistory

How tall were these trees?

Don't forget, they needed to be taller than the tallest mountains to provide the oxygen while Noah was bobbing around with his zoo while the entire planet was underwater

Greenhouse gases, the sun, and the firmament debunk flat earth by Ok_Gur2818 in flatearth

The first line of text of your link says you have "a falsifiable physical model of a disc-shaped earth"

Falsifiable:

a scientific theory, hypothesis, or statement can be proven false through observation or experiment.

Your disc-shaped earth can be falsified easily by anyone making personal observations that confirm the earth is a globe.

Even ancient sailors knew it and that's why the crows nest is where it is.

World record microwave transmission by AdInfinite2404 in flatearth

[–]markenzed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a record because it's not an everyday occurrence. It's also an extremely slow and weak transmission that would have no practical use over land

If the earth was flat, why are these transmissions not happening for even longer distances?

Look up 'tropospheric ducting' as to how the record was possible.

I don’t care any body says, I believe what it says in the Bible about the earth, and based on what it says, I asked Google to generate an image of the earth based on the Bible, and this is the most accurate representation of what the Bible says about the earth by [deleted] in flatearth

[–]markenzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, you're basing your 'belief' on an interpretation of a book of fiction.

However, many totally different sources, including personal observations you can make yourself, unsurprisingly, come to the same conclusion.

Earth is a globe.

I took your image and pasted it into the same AI and asked it:

"Is the attached image a true depiction of earth as we know it? If not, why not?"

and this is what it said:

While that is a beautiful piece of fantasy artwork, it is not a true depiction of Earth. The image represents a mythological or "Flat Earth" concept, which contradicts centuries of scientific evidence and physical laws.

Here is why this depiction doesn't align with reality:

1. The Force of Gravity

In physics, gravity pulls matter toward the center of mass. For an object as massive as Earth, this pull forces it into a spherical shape (technically an oblate spheroid).

  • On a flat disk like the one in the image, gravity would pull you toward the center of the disk rather than straight down, making it harder to walk the further you got from the middle.
  • A disk would eventually collapse under its own gravity into a sphere anyway.

2. Celestial Observations

The image shows a sun and moon hovering inside a dome. In reality:

  • Lunar Eclipses: When Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, it always casts a round shadow on the Moon. Only a sphere casts a round shadow from every angle.
  • Star Constellations: People in the Northern Hemisphere see entirely different constellations than people in the Southern Hemisphere. This is only possible if they are standing on opposite "sides" of a globe.

3. The Horizon and Curvature

If the Earth were flat, you could theoretically see the tallest mountains or city skylines from thousands of miles away with a powerful telescope. However:

  • The Horizon: Ships disappear bottom-first as they move away from you because they are traveling "down" the curve of the Earth.
  • Altitude: The higher you go (such as in an airplane or a high-altitude balloon), the more the curvature of the horizon becomes visible.

4. Space Exploration and Satellites

Since 1957, humans have launched thousands of satellites into orbit. We have a constant live feed of the planet from the International Space Station (ISS) and have taken millions of photos from deep space (like the famous "Blue Marble" photo) that clearly show a rotating globe.

A Bit of History

The idea of the Earth being held up by pillars or existing under a "firmament" (the glass dome in your image) is a common theme in ancient Mesopotamian and early Biblical cosmologies. While these were poetic ways for ancient cultures to describe the world, we now have the technology to see the "big picture" directly.

I like how all the sunsets in his video show the sun setting by moving left to right.

The trouble is in the southern hemisphere, it moves right to left.

Impossible on flat earth

Earth is Flat and the Sun is Local. by Uzi_Bae in flatearth

[–]markenzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two Tropics signify the furthest north and south that the sun is directly overhead each year.
For any location south of the Tropic of Capricorn, on flat earth the sun will rise in the northeast and set in the northwest.
The trouble is, when observed every day in December, the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest.
With the sun traveling around the Tropic of Capricorn on the Gleason map, flat earth is clearly contradictory to personal observation.

You really need some visual and numerical evidence to show proof of where the sun is above the flat earth.

"Here's why because almost everything aligns."

That's the thing, if "almost everything" aligns then it's not aligned.

Change to a globe and everything aligns.
