I just got my BS in aerospace engineering, so I'm 100% convinced that the Earth is indeed not flat but I'm willing to here the other side of the argument. I find it really hard to believe considering the sheer amount of indisputable mathematical evidence behind planetary science - Newtons universal law of gravitation immediately coming to mind.
I want to believe just for the fact that it would completely fuck everyone's perception of the known universe and I want something crazy to happen but I genuinely believe there is no way that it could be true.

What the fuck does that even mean? How come when you look out onto an ocean you don't see the other continents? I'm genuinely curious how flat Earthers explain that

A stable aircraft will naturally follow the curvature of the Earth given the properties of the surrounding air. Lift is given based off the density of the air. If the density in the air is reduced the plane will "fall" while in steady level flight - making it follow the curvature of the Earth.

there isn't another side to the argument, only shills pretending that there is.
Dont worry. flatties are 99% LARPers and one retard who bought the LARP.
If you engage with this kind of discussion long enough you will eventually LARP yourself just because it gets boring. Especially with your professional background which allows you to skew science in your favor against normie retards(there are a lot of normies who tries to discuss with flat earthers but have very vague concept of science; especially globe-arguments which does not directly disproof flat earth hypothesis).

>A stable aircraft will naturally follow the curvature of the Earth given the properties of the surrounding air. If you fly East at 100mph you will be travelling with the air current and in the same direction as the rotation so at least 1000mph according to 'science'. But if you fly West at 100mph the Earth should spin underneath you at 1000mph so it would only take a slow plane 4 hours to fly from the UK to America.
No, the air isn't so powerful that it stops the plane from moving so fast.
Go and sit outside when it's quiet and watch the butterflies and other insects flying around. Is the atmosphere really moving at 1000mph next to the Earth?

I was going to respond to your earlier statements but that is absolutely the most retarded thing you could have said. You just ruined any credibility you have in this thread.

If the Earth were flat, what would that change? Such as, how is that relevant to your life? If the Earth were flat, would you stop coming to Jow Forums? No.You would still be doing the same shit as usual, which your behavior would be the same.
I've seen some crazy shit in my life. Even then, I find the idea of a flat Earth irrelevant information if true.

Earth is an ovoid in the vacuum of space. You koreanjewfagnignog flat earthers have a flat perspective because you are trapped inside a Jew Qabbalah Cube. Stop staring at flat screens and realize... You are all bitches falling for nonsense psyops. Like Child molester Aquino and Anderson laughing at UFO believers. Because Aliens are a Joke.. The crown changing H to Haytch and Z to fucking Zed.

thought experiment:
1) imagine 100mx100m perfectly flat area on the earth. 2) your task is to walk from point A (north west corner) to B (south east corner) at 1 metre per second (which you accomplish with the magick of science) 3) record the time it takes you
now it's time to repeat the experiment
1) the "earth" (100m x 100m area) is now rotating at 1000mph 2) your task is to jump from point A (north west corner) to B (south east corner) at 1 metre per second (which you accomplish with the magick of science) 3) record the time it takes you 4) you win the argument because you did college maths, those retarded autistic christcucks dont even know kindergarten maths, hahaha that air resistence in front of you wasn't even strong enough to slow you down, but it was amazingly strong and compensated for the spin by carrying your body at 1000mph without you noticing it

The Earth is round, but it has expanded over time. Every one of the continents fit together perfectly on a smaller sphere. Plate techtonics and subdiction is a myth. youtu.be/tiCMFzpMnZM
You can physically board an airplane and while traveling at 500 +mph feel as if you aren't moving at all, you can also walk back and forth and even jump as if you were on the ground
Brandon Baker
>casually evaded the actual question not really, i will address it.
>satellite has to counter-spin against the earth at 1000mph to be geostationary
ok, so what am i supposed to address? satellites aren't going to be effected by wind resistence, are they?
uh oh, you run in to the problem that the earth isn't just 'rotating' at 1000mph, it's actually hurtling through space at "67,000 miles per hour"
oh shit....how do you make a satellite compensate at mach 88? >don't worry, goyim, gravity automatically does that for you
oh wait, shit, we're actually expanding at an exponential rate, we're going even faster than mach 88..... shit, the laws of physics don't even real at this point
i like how you skipped the thought experiment because it makes you look stupid but instead focus on satellites

>You can physically board an airplane and while traveling at 500 +mph feel as if you aren't moving at all no you can't, because the wind would literally blow you away while you were crossing the space between the 2 doors. wind? yes the stationary wind that the 2 aircraft were pushing through.
wind debunks globe theory. sorry, kid.

So how do they do this while being attached to a balloon and stuck to the firmament? The rest of your post is nonsense too; your thought experiment included which is just an extension of your original statement and doesnt need direct attention.
Ian Hernandez
>the wind would literally blow you away while you were crossing the space between the 2 doors. wind? yes the stationary wind that the 2 aircraft were pushing through that makes absolutely zero sense and has nothing to do with the statement posted
Xavier Collins
"The sun and the solar system appear to be moving at 200 kilometers per second, or at an average speed of 448,000 mph (720,000 km/h)"
99% of real world applications aren't large enough for curvature to matter.
Benjamin Hall
oh, you mean you can board an aircraft while it moves at 500mph, without there being any wind, and you are not moving, oh right.
Christian Foster
Curvature=0 isn't large enough to affect applications.
Lucas Johnson
What the fuck do you think wind is, are you honestly under the impression that wind is the result of the earth spinning?
Jeremiah Collins
Nah.
Ethan King
>So how do they do this while being attached to a balloon and stuck to the firmament? the earth is flat. it doesn't move. the balloon goes up in the air and just stays there until the balloon pops.

high frequency radio is one of the few that it actually matters with.

I've sailed around it. It's round, by inspection. By using simple tests a 12 year old can figure out, it's round. You shouldn't need to ask, what's your "BS" mean? Bullshit?

Christopher White
>are you honestly under the impression that wind is the result of the earth spinning you mock me for not taking college maths but seem to be clueless about what is taught in high school geography.
yes, scientists want me to believe that wind is caused by a globe earth spinning.
Disregard anything this guy is saying. Either he's LARPing or a near brain dead vegetable.
For anyone wondering, wind is caused from the temperature differences within the atmosphere.

Ignoring your idea of how they connect to the firmament you really have no idea what satellites are or do.
Cooper Wright
It frustrates me when flat earthers say it can't be proven that the Earth is round. We'll, yes it can. Get the square root of your height of eye (line of sight) times 1.15, gives you the approximate distance in miles to the horizon. So all of these faggots on here can actually do the math.
Colton Brown
The earth is an electromagnetic field with a solid magnetic core. The EMF waves are what give the earth its round appearance.
Those second hand embarrassment feels. Lurk more newfag.

You can literally observe satellites with the naked eye moving across the sky.

no i can't, and even if i could, that doesn't mean they are in (((space)))

im still lurking right now, everyone regurgitating their version of science at eachother if frankly embarrassing to watch and ill have no part in this, I just wanted to know how come things like pointing a laser over michigan lake work when the earth is curved, not...-this-.
saying a bunch of shit like "a stable plane follows the curvature of the earth naturally" is just as much bunk as the rest.

I'm just trying to keep this here so they won't start trolling other places or spamming threads. We all know the earth can't possibly be anything but a globe and that there isn't a single shred of real scientific evidence for the earth being flat. We all know that the 1000mph spin doesn't effect what's on the earth and that the 8in per mile nonsense was misrepresented by early flat-earth fools.
Nathaniel Morales

Yea you bet it's BS alright a while load of it
Angel Bennett
Now this is 100% false. People see bright lights in the sky that are not identifiable at all and simply claim it’s a satellite. If all you see is a shining bright light how the hell do you know what it is. To see something means to actually see it, not to see a light thousands of miles away and just say “oh, there’s a satellite”. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV5LYeRl5ZM
Alexander Turner
No they are not.
Josiah Flores
How can we see the same stars every night every year for 10,000 years if earth is hurling through space as fast as they say? Surely moving fast implies changing position right?
Brody King
>"a stable plane follows the curvature of the earth naturally" is just as much bunk as the rest.
Do any amount of research on how lift works and you can figure it out yourself. It's not just some unprovable conjecture. It's proven with indisputable mathematical evidence. If you can mathematically prove it wrong I will believe what ever you have to say - until then it will be treated as fact.

Stars move too. They're just so incomprehensibly far away that it's impossible to see with the naked eye
Carson Thomas
So I guess you never learned about the solar system or galaxies in kindergarten?

Nice LARP. They do change positions. We had this discussion before. As the universe expands so does the distance between all visible objects in the sky.

Isaac Butler
When you drive your car down a road with trees to the side of it, you can see that the trees closest to you appear to move faster in your field of vision than the ones further away. The movement of the stars is not observable with human eyes for essentially the same reason; the stars are literally astronomically far away, so the apparent movement is astronomically small.
