I may have missed it, but...

1) Why do dense things go down?
2) What hold the sun and moon up?

The answer to 2) is definitely angels

1. duh, light things float on top of dense things. so dense things "sink"
2. duh, they are very light, since they are just glowing balls of light and have no mass/density. another good reason that no one can walk on the moon, since you can't walk on light. other answer: duh, the strings (very thin) attached to them and mounted to the top of the dome that goes over the earth.

OP, using only FE 'science' and knowledge, could you please give us the date of the next 5 total solar eclipses and the locations please..

*Please show your sums and how you arrived at the answers

He will not because he can not.

"jroa informed us in another thread that space flight must be impossible, because if it were possible, animals would have evolved to be able to fly into space to avoid predators. Since animals can't do this, space flight must be impossible.

Using jroa's logic, I will now prove that swimming is impossible:

If rabbits could swim, they could avoid their predators. But rabbits have not evolved to be able to swim. Therefore no animal can swim."

Pretty much predictable for Obama and his team. The guy has no love for our values and our faith.

Pause the video at 6:35... earth looks round. Then just skip ahead every 10 seconds... as the earth becomes close to the center of the camera, it looks flatter and flatter. By the 9:15 mark... it looks almost completely flat.

The fish-eye was very obvious in the first video that was posted... and it's very obvious in the redbull video also. With this video, it's way more subtle... but it still looks like the lens is adding curvature somehow. Maybe not a fish-eye... but something might not be right here.

More videos like this one would be good. Preferably ones without so much stuff in the way blocking the view.

edit: if you watch the video from about 10:30 - 10:35... it flattens out so much that it actually looks like it becomes a concave shape. So it appears that the lens is distorting the shape in this video also.

It's perspective. You zoom in on a curve to a localized section it will be flat.

Alternatively, if you want proof, a bunch of math is based on the concept of tangent lines. You take a straight line to a curved object and the curve is straight like the line at a very localized and small part of the line. Plenty of images on Google that will show you this. Or you can draw it yourself. It's the exact same thing with the camera.

Grunching,

Sounds like a really good title for a really bad academic journal article. Revise and resubmit.

1)They are denser.
2)The sun is hydrogen and helium which is light, therefor it floats. Likely best explanation.

People have been able to do this since before heliocentricism. Accurate calculation works in either model.

Please tell me how there can be lunar eclipses with the sun still visible, thanks.

Why do dense things go down?
What stops the sun floating away and you didn't address the moon?

It's interesting that you can believe in density but not gravity.



RF, you should get a super accurate scale and weigh something at sea level then weigh something at the top of a tall mountain.

Also you forgot to answer the somewhat important question as to the need for this massive lie? Please start with the need back when it was formulated hundreds of year ago and how the need for a lie has been important enough up until now.

From there make a 90 degree turn (either left or right) and then move the boat directly forward. If the earth is truly a disc, you would eventually have to turn the boat to avoid crashing into the ice wall.
RF, any thoughts on why you couldn't use this to prove the FE theory?

Air has different densities at higher/lower levels which explains both the search for equilibrium of the sun and the weight of the person on the mountain.

Ive answered this many times as to what I suppose.

Moon floats same way sun does, density and equilibrium.

What composes the moon is a different question.

Why couldnt you take a boat into the wall to prove FE? I dont know, it seems like you could.

Floating cities are possible.

Buckminster fuller was the man

"Well Bucky was later challenged by a wealthy Japanese patron named Matsutaro Shoriki to design a community that could float on Tokyo Bay. Shoriki wanted a solution for Japan’s crowding and imagined boats joined together to make a floating city, not too dissimilar from the Freedom Ship currently under development. Bucky responded to Shoriki’s challenge with the Spherical Tensegrity Atmospheric Research Station (STARS), also called “Cloud Nines.” Though never constructed, these massive, buoyant, geodesic spheres would be filled with hot air and float over the Earth.

I know it sounds like science-fiction, but here’s how Bucky proposed a Cloud Nine would work. A half mile (0.8 kilometer) diameter geodesic sphere would weigh only one-thousandth of the weight of the air inside of it. If the internal air were heated by either solar energy or even just the average human activity inside, it would only take a 1 degree shift in Fahrenheit over the external temperature to make the sphere float. Since the internal air would get denser when it cooled, Bucky imagined using polyethylene curtains to slow the rate that air entered the sphere. He wanted to build Cloud Nines and anchor them to mountains, or let them drift so their inhabitants could see the world. One of the more practical uses he proposed for them was as disaster sites for emergencies."
