It has forward momentum.

If youre on a train, is it easier walking with or against the trains direction?

If its so obvious, why do you think the rest of the world hasn't caught on ? What do you think about the correlation between people who think 9/11 was fake and people who think flat earth exists ?

And yet that video you posted doesn't seem to understand how that works, claiming a cannon ball shot in the air should land far away from the cannon.

The cannonball has no forward momentum because the cannon doesnt because the earth doesnt which is why it lands next to it. Not because the earth and atmosphere spin with it.

Is it harder to walk with or against the trains direction??

Hey Sneezus

The reason he was claiming it should land far away from the cannon is because of the "claim" that the earth is in motion. The earth is in motion, so the cannon is in motion, so the cannon ball coming out of the cannon is.

If the train is not accelerating you wouldn't be able to tell if you are moving with or against the movement of the train.

Assuming the train moves at a constant speed, it makes no difference.

What are your thoughts on the shapes of other planets (if they exist)?

This thread has been a great learning tool, thank you for the work you have put into it.

Psst, the airport is also moving 900mph to the East. The dude is mixing is frames of reference.

If only this flat earth "controversy" thing was, well… interesting.

bump.

is this the best thread we've got on the subject on 2+2? i'm ashamed.

A youtubes I made re: flat earth

I'd love a flat Earther to try and go thru each collection of 12 daily images of the round Earth provided by the DSCOVR satellite since it's launch a year and a half ago and try and prove that the random daily cloud formations are all created by CGI. They're available right here for the public. Just click on the date you'd like to see: http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/

Oh and when you're done there... head on over to the Himawari-8 satellites 144 daily images of the Earth and do the same thing with those images.

But don't stop there. We have a third satellite coming to orbit the Earth soon.

Surely someone will prove these images fake right? It would be almost impossible to hire enough skilled CGI workers to fake these images daily. It'd be easier to just launch a real satellite broadcasting real pictures. Judge for yourself.

Best to ignore Flatearthers. They are waste of time. They are mostly religious fundamentalists who take their book to seriously.

Bill Nye's show is satanic crap. Pushing the trans-agenda, pushing scientism "you are a speck on a speck" and that god awful rap song about being a sexual miscreant.

TV is cancer. This is getting really serious.

EDIT FOR CONTEXT: This is extracted from the Netflix thread of all places. It's hard to imagine this ending well for anyone, but will hopefully be fun while it lasts.

lol what on earth is scientism?
is that the liberal conspiracy to teach kids about science rather than just tell them the truth about God and how dinosaurs and man roamed the earth together when God created it 6000 years ago?

cuz if that's what it is I agree 100% and it must be stopped immediately.

I ****ing heard the most ridiculous **** ever the other day; one kid was explaining to another kid how clouds are formed and the little commie didn't give god any credit it was all science blah blah blah.

just disgraceful.

There were never any dinosaurs, God left those bones there to test our faith!

If you don't know what scientism is, you've been programmed. Your mind is someone else's.

Science is the mainstream religious doctrine of the 21st century, indoctrinating youth with unobservable, untestable theories (gravity, heliocentrism, evolution) and hoisting up actors and puppets as experts (bill nye, neil tyson, stephen hawking, etc).

Putting an emphasis on materialism over all intangible parts of reality keeps the public away from God and drives us into a life of sin. Obesity, promiscuity, divorce, pornography, the list goes on and on. It's the modern age, very likely end times are near.
