Funny enough some flat earthers did this same experiment to prove the earth is flat and accidentally proved the opposite.

Flat-Earther Proves in Simple Experiment that the Earth Is Round



They also spent $20,000 on a gyroscope experiment that they were sure would prove the earth was flat, they proved it was round.

:mjlol:


??

A gyroscope generally can't "prove" that an object is 3 dimensional so I'm not sure what you mean by the bold

Also, that experiment should have been done on the flat surface of a large body of water. Land is uneven in general

You'd make some excuse about a fish-eye lens being used, or tampering, or Photoshop, or whatever else you bring up to deny what you're seeing. :kanyebp:
How is stating that a fish eye lens is being used, denying what I'm seeing?

I'm clearly stating that a fish eye lens is being used because I see it

Just like I show you guys every time y'all post that red bull fish eye camera photo, the size of new mexico appears to be ~1/3rd of the entire "sphere"

So if you believe that's NOT a fish eye lens, then you also believe that new mexico takes up 1/3rd of the spheroid earth then correct?

And just to be clear, this is you stating that you cannot produce a modern day video recording of that exact same experiment proving that the earth is a globe

Which means that you expect me to believe in cartoon drawings as fact, just because you do

Yet I'm supposed to be the gullible one huh:francis:

They took measurements with that first experiment if you watch the whole documentary.

Are you telling me some random dude went up there, saw a flat Earth and decided that was the secret he's carrying to his grave? Or is it that he didn't go up in the first place and it's fake news? These are not hills to die on, even for simple minds.

The biggest joke of flat earth is the literally millions of people necessary to keep it going.

What are you talking about?

The camera is right there behind him

You can literally see the landmass of new mexico covering the entirety of the visible part of the earth, which is supposed to be ~70% water correct?

Where is the water and why is there only 1 landmass in this pic?

I don't think I understand how this experiment is supposed to work tbh

The only thing that I know gyroscopes to be useful for is to keep a person or object exactly parallel to the ground

I hope you realize why I said you can't comprehend scale. And did I ask you about the camera or the human that was up there?

Low key I'm praying you aren't asking why there aren't straight lines and labels on the ground

Effect of Earth rotation on gyro

You could actually look up how the earths rotation can be measured using a gyroscope. Maybe then you'll understand but then again, flat earthers aren't looking to understand.

Do you agree that that's a fish eye camera or not?

Do you agree that new mexico does not take up 1/3rd of the earth or not?

Do you agree that at his supposed "height", at least part of at least 1 major body of water should be visible or not?

Because even the thing he's standing on is curving, signifying a fish eye lens being utilized

It seems like YOU don't really understand scale

Nah I'll leave the belief in cartoon drawings to y'all

Show me a real world real life example of this electronic gyroscope working in the same fashion as a mechanical one, then show me why a mechanical gyroscope hasn't been used to prove this rotation

In real life

I'll wait:yeshrug:

The problem is homie doesn't believe outer space exists. How can you prove to someone they are wrong when they have their mind made up that space is not real.
I can't help it that y'all believe in some sort of infinite nothingness that y'all have never actually seen with your own eyes

I'm not gonna fall for that okey doke sorry

Not to mention the fact that y'all have still consistently completely ignored the questions I've been asking in this thread just to post drawings and cartoons that y'all think prove y'all's position

I respect that and I feel you can believe whatever you want.

I try to fit into that realm where if it makes enough sense to me, agrees with my common sense then I can believe in it. I find it hard to believe that millions of people who are much smarter than me and study these things aren't all in on an extravagant conspiracy to make everyone believe we live on a spehere, globe whatever.

What's weird is I remember thinking about a flat earth concept long ago, imagining that just the earth existed and space was above but we weren't a floating ball in space. I was a kid and maybe I saw something or had a dream that made me imagine such a thing.

I don't think the earth is flat or that the universe doesn't exist, or that planets and stars are fake and been faked for centuries. It just doesn't agree with my common sense. Maybe I have been duped or maybe there's no reason to lie about such a thing. I think no one can prove to you the earth is round but I think you can prove to yourself that it isn't.
