re: Is the earth flat?

I don't understand the premise.

Lights above can change as you move across a line, therefore you must be on a ball. That's a non sequitur. You can look at different stars from any surface. Why wouldn't it be possible in flat earth?

quote:Actually it's been addressed. I said it could be a different part of the firmament. Dome refraction causes them to swirl the other direction
Which is precisely why it was ignored.
That is a tangential issue you can ponder after you see what's really ignored: that the damn earth isn't curved!

Will you finally address how satellites work in your FE model?

Artillery gunners account for curve in their calculations and can hit targets with precision.
Wouldn’t they miss by quite a lot of there was no curve?

Like 100 times. You will never address the 200 page book filled with proofs, the fact that you can see past the curve, the fact that NASA is photoshopping, the fact that lunar eclipses occur during the day, the fact that Erostathenes proof was based on false assumptions and impossible, the Apollo 11 crew obviously guilt ridden demeanor at the presser, the "first man in space" cosmonaut from Poland who said earth was flat, the Russian cosmonaut who said no one's ever been to space.
No you don't care about any of that. You don't care that the official NASA flat earth debunking is clearly flawed and a lie. You want him to say satellites are weather balloons so you can laugh and display your ignorance.

Did you miss when he answered this before?
He said it was caused by refraction. When asked how this was possible, he referred me to carnival house mirrors. When told this was reflection and not refraction, I got crickets.

I'm starting to change my mind. You might be actually retarded and not trolling.

There is not a curve. So if they say they're adjusting they're not. They may think they are but it's just an adjustment for the arc of the ballistic. I don't even think they think they are.

You don't even know what refraction is. Stop trying to educate someone smarter than you. You are a fool. All mirrors refract, they cannot reflect 100% of light. Bent carnival mirrors are the exploitation of refraction. It is refraction. Go back and learn what refraction is. Then you can teach lessons and call others astoundingly stupid

Question JUST FOR YOU:
The "Planet Earth" IS said to be spinning at the equator at 1000 Miles PER HOUR, right?
Can you explain this?
If a plane OR helicopter is hovering straight up in the air at Nawlins (WITH the earth's rotation spinning at around, say, 900 miles PER HOUR), why can't the aircraft just wait out the "air time" over the SAME SPOT over Nawlins for the three hours UNTIL California arrives?
(Unless....the atmosphere magically "Glued" to the Earth??)
And shouldn't air travel TO ENGLAND be MUCH slower? (Since you're "chasing" a planet that's traveling 900 Mile PER HOUR?)
BONUS QUESTION:
WHY doesn't the atmosphere "escape" into the "Vacuum of Space"?

You seem to care a lot. Keep asking the same questions. Looking very dumb, posting a lot of emoticons like a teenage girl. This could end if got over yourself and started to be honest with yourself.

Mirrors by definition operate via reflection off the polished surface. That is the dominant mechanism at play when light interacts with a mirror, with a vanishingly small amount of light energy absorbed by the mirror surface. Refraction? The frick are you even saying. Light doesn’t travel through the mirror in any meaningful quantity and any light that did would not be reflected back at you for you to see.
You are truly a baffling person to interact with.

Between the odd capitalization and bold font from Liberator and the complete nonsense posted by gaggle, this has been absolutely hilarious. I honestly can’t tell what the angle is. It’s certainly not logic. Gaggle is borderline overplaying it with the repetitive “I’m so smart” schtick. Liberator may in fact be a psychopath with the font decorations.

Ross -- regarding Antarctica (you seem to have knowledge of it as well as the South Pole, so I assume you might have further knowledge...
NAGGING QUESTION:
Why is there NO aerial video or photography of Antarctica from NASA on record? OR from ANY of the thousands of ISS Satellites, "weather" satellites, or any of the"Moon" missions?? (should NASA "images" be considered sufficient?)
I expect anything BUT "crickets".
Thanks.
