There is nothing that says we can't change our perspective so that the south pole is on top. Everything still works.

Unlike flat earthism, which assumes the observer living in North America or Europe for the math to work out.

You have no model.

Unless of course, you don't understand your own model?

Or you don't have one...
He doesn't even understand what a model has to do to be considered "viable."

Lest we forget, here's bigot's description of his FE epiphany.

Just wondering how many of you have had a profound experience like this, how often, and what they were like. Feel free to share accounts, they are incredible experiences.

I think you should know that if you've never had an experience like that of any significance you should know you're completely brainwashed.
I actually see a couple of patients a month in the ER with similar claims. Assuming it's not associated with significant head trauma, most of those folks get referred for an inpatient psych eval or get their meds adjusted.

Disclaimer: I get paid to keep these self-proclaimed, newly minted savants from exposing "the real truth."

Pfft. Leo, you probably went to fake medical school where the 20 ton fake lawyer went to fake law school.

The Nile, conjoined and then forked into its famous delta north of Cairo, enters the Mediterranean east of Alexandria at 0 ft, obviously. It's downhill all the way. The idea that this goes 'against the curve of the globe' is too stupid to address.

57 on Red, have you even SEEN a globe??? Egypt is up from Uganda, duh!!!

I didn't go to a fake medical school. I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express for a couple of nights to get my credentials.

This might have been covered in the video in a way that we can all agree about, but I do not know. The video footage I believe we have is produced by someone else filming a video screen (a TV!). It would be trivial for someone at "ground control" or whatever to know that they are "in the shot." And obviously when you film a screen you don't press the camera up against the screen, since you'd see only a tiny section of the screen.

Hope that clears up why I think all of your argument is ridiculous.
I'm not sure bigot understands that you can recopy a video by pointing a camera at the screen, so here's a YouTube video of an RAF PR / training film from the 1960s, showing a Vulcan bomber squadron on nuclear Quick Reaction Alert carrying out a practice two-minute scramble from cockpit readiness.



Watch till about 3:15 and you'll see that we're viewing the video screen in the bomb bay of the RAF Museum's Vulcan in Hendon, North London.

From the scramble order (omitting the authentication code for security reasons), the film elapses more or less in real time. The Vulcans really could get away that fast. And the RAF had to train that hard because nuclear weapons are real, of course.

Official NASA broadcasts go from space->nasahq->nasahq tv->rerecord from nasa 1s tv->public broadcast to networks.

If that's the chain of how you wish to believe video is broadcasted from space to your TV go ahead.

Bigot,

Ignoring for a moment that you lack the means necessary to visit far-away places, if given the opportunity would you - for free- take one of the many commercially available trips to Antarctica?
05-24-2017 , 02:22 PM
If the earth is flat, then from the northern hemisphere we should be able to see the southern hemisphere constellations, given a good enough telescope. And vice versa.

Any flat earther could demonstrate this and destroy the entire globe theory.

You weren't sourcing original NASA footage, you were sourcing something a conspiracist recopied to YouTube.

HAY GUYZ WHY DOES NILE RIVER FLOW UPHILL



But WE are the ones who can't visualize a simple model and are DAH STUPIDZ.

And I forgive you for being such a complete rube, but here's something that will blow your mind: It is only that civilization was based in the Northern Hemisphere that makes the Arctic on top of the globe and the Antarctic on the bottom. It literally could be inverted. There isn't an "up" or "down" orientation in space. That something is north on a globe doesn't make it uphill.



Naggu, Tibet is north of Mount Everest. Do you go uphill or downhill to go from Mount Everest to Naggu?


I don't know about Everest but I literally walker uphill true SOUTH from my Starbucks back to my apartment this morning...

Anyone that who speaks like this (like 1diOT) should be labeled as a tard no one should waste their time with and contained.

Bigot,

The "the Nile flows uphill" thing is pretty hilarious. You're applying flat earth thinking to the globe.

Look at a WHAT?

The Nile flows north because of gravity.
05-24-2017 , 03:14 PM
Bigot,

You are of course aware that there are rivers in the southern hemisphere that flow north to south, yes?
05-24-2017 , 03:16 PM
citanul, the Mississippi River flows north to south, and in his head runs in a straight line. Therefore all rivers do.
05-24-2017 , 03:18 PM
although there are FE posters online who also think the Mississippi is flowing 'uphill' since they use the same mental model as BigOT's "Giant water mountain" ocean that the curvature makes it go uphill.

That image doesn't take into account curvature and says the earth is flat from Uganda to Egypt.

Earth surface is 70% water. Water = level. Earth = sphere?

Completely flat places.
Danakil Ethiopia - 100,000 sq km
Salar de uyuni Bolivia, 10000 sq km
Kansas 400 mi straight across
Lake Baikail, bigger than all the great lakes combined.

Ignore the flatness, Earth = globe.
