In this article a NASA pilot claims he can see curvature at 65,000ft

Solo Science Flying at 65,000 Feet – NASA Earth Expeditions

“The view is incredible. You can see 300 miles away,” he said from the cockpit of NASA’s high-altitude ER-2 research aircraft. “You can see the curvature of the Earth. If you look up, the sky is very dark blue.”


According to Neil Degrass Tyson, you can't even see the curvature at 128k ft



Who is lying?

Also, there are plenty of videos right on youtube of people sending up balloons with cameras (no wide angle lens) to heights higher than 110K ft. . . No curvature.

According to NASA we should see a 3% curve at 35000 ft. By that logic at 128K, there should be an easily visible 10% curvature.

Once again. . . Who is lying?

So you're saying Neil Tyson is lying? Is a regular person incapable of proving anything nowadays? Are we too stupid?

I bet you're next comment will only be one insulting me again. I mean that's really all you can do, so I understand.

people have explained camera aperture to you many times. you've either forgotten that, misunderstood that, deliberately ignored that out of stubbornness, or you are a troll

There's really no point even arguing with Flat Earth believers. Some people will believe anything as long as it makes them feel smarter than everyone else. It's just the Dunning-Kruger effect on steroids.

We live in 2019. It's been known since before Jesus' time that the Earth is round, fukking Aristotle wrote about it. So someone that lets themselves be convinced by dumb Youtube videos that "round earth" is some kind of conspiracy by the American government or sometthing is really too stupid to be worth arguing with.

Or maybe instead of taking a youtube video made by idiots who think the earth is flat and thus is clearly biased and slanted towards one aspect, you could take five minutes and learn that you can see the curvature of the earth at 35,000 feet because you morons don't understand what "curvature" actually is.

Stop thinking you're superior because you believe something as totally asinine that the fukking earth is flat you mouth breathing rube. People SHOULD insult you, anybody that believes the earth is flat is willfully lying to themselves because they want to feel special and superior to everybody else just like morons who convince themselves 9/11 was an inside job and the Sandy Hook kids didn't die brutal deaths.

Again, you can prove the earth is curved with two sticks. Y'all are so determined to be wrong and moronic so you can feel so special when you "trigger the libs" with your idiocy it's baffling.

Me? I think that I'M superior? Do you know much I WISH these lies weren't happening right infront of our faces?! Bro, I swear on everything I want all conspiracy theories to be lies. The world would be awesome. The FACTS say otherwise and it's not easy confronting them, and I'm very aware of how much it costs me socially to say these things. I don't like it, but I refuse to maintain these lies. For the very least the lot of you should agree with us that there are many questions we deserve answers to.

Look at the nonsense you have to post to "prove" a globe. Think about the bullshyt this is asking you for.

- Build astrolobe
- Find Polaris
- Record its elevation (wtf?)

Why can't I take a high altitude balloon with a camera up to 100k feet and record curvature?! Why?

You call those people idiots, but you STILL can not say where they are scientifically wrong. I think you should be quiet.

Thousands of years from now we'll look back at this time period as a weird in-between era where we were making significant advances in science and technology and yet still had a large group of people clinging to the literal interpretation of stone aged mythology (Religion)
Globe Earth was created by a religion though. Paganism.

You could just...you know...stop believing in that sh*t.

Can't say it's not hard, but it's not impossible :kanyebp:

The FACTS say otherwise

No they don't.

Why is this "nonsense"? :bpthink:

Have you ever tried actually doing this? :bpthink:

If so, what makes it any more nonsensical than using a compass? :bpthink:

You do realize that old world explorers used these, and would have all been lost at sea if their calculations were off due to the world being flat, right? :bpthink:

Why can't I take a high altitude balloon with a camera up to 100k feet and record curvature?! Why?

Uh...have you ever personally tried doing so? :bpthink:

If not, what are you complaining about? :bpthink:

You call those people idiots, but you STILL can not say where they are scientifically wrong.

Post a picture of the flat earth. :kanyebp:

Bro, you want "simple solutions" because you can't grasp the size of the Earth much less the distances involved. Clearly nothing in your real life will be affected by if the Earth is flat or round so just continue living how you've been living.

You wanna know why this thread is funny?

We live in an age where the sum total of all human knowledge is at everyone's fingertips via supercomputers we carry in our pockets...

...and some people still come away with the idea that the world is flat and the round earth "theory" is some elaborate, centuries-old hoax. :deadmanny:

Not know your shapes brehs smh

A lot of yall really need to go back to middle school for a semester because the arguments you're attempting to make arent being proven by your statements

Once again, a circle and a globe are not the same thing

And once again, MY PEOPLE knew for a fact that the earth is flat and unmoving when they mapped the stars

Heliocentrism is a Masonic European concept

If you choose to believe in concepts that you cannot prove then thats on you

But what you're not gonna do is retroactively modify historical fact:yeshrug:

Nope, all you prove with 2 sticks is that the sun moves on a circular path in the sky

That's it

Feel free to try again though

It also males sense that you think that a group of Saudis with box cutters knocked down 3 buildings with 2 planes while being directed by a guy in a cave with walkie talkies

You just exposed yourself smh

Believe in a flat earth with less evidence that a round one bruhs.
Once again, not know basic shapes brehs

Please post proof that we live on a globe thanks

While you're at it, please post an example of water sticking to a spherical object

Because I've literally never seen this phenomena occur ANYWHERE on this plane
