^^^ It's not something you believe, it's something you know!

I believe in flat earth

^^^ So the earth, a ball below my feet that curves down and away from me at ~8" per mile^2, it creates a flat horizon that rises up to my eye level and hides objects in the distance behind its curvature. The ships at sea they sail over this curve, that's how your telling me it works right?

That the flat and level horizon line in front of me is the curved side of the ball below my feet is so obvious, so common sense, that opposition to this fact should be violently opposed. Hang the bastards by their P900 straps, amirite?

No, but a little bitch slapping might motivate their limited brain cells to actually work.

Should we hang them?

That’s the sad part because only chosen one can be an astronaut,so how can be like us will do that ?thats so sad 😂

So the man wins? 🤪

It should be against the law to be stupid as flat earthers.

I agree with Badecker for once.    Yes, NASA chooses you.  If you are an elite scientist, engineer, or military personnel, you may get called. 

Thank you. Since people knew that the earth was in a globe shape for thousands of years, all you are proving is devolution in flat earthers.

^^^ The chosen ones.

You don't choose to be an astronaut, they choose you.
First you gotta be sane, something already out of the question for you Batty.
Then you gotta be a pilot/engineer or a scientist - or both.

Your only chance of getting to space is as a lab rat Batty.
Just imagine the headlines, "hardcore flathead, visits ISS", "scientists testing the effects of zero gravity on dumbness", "breaking news, flathead in a coma".

Universities and collages offer courses for every profession under the sun except one, you can't become an astronaut. Space is fake.

^. He has to get out of the cave he's been all his life for that. How dare you!

The best experiment you can do is to be an astronaut and watch the earth scheme with your own eyes. That's the best way to realize if it is flat or a sphere.

^^^

middle ages, dark ages, space ages, disinformation ages,
source on that?

they said it wasn't flat, it moves to and fro,
your sources don't confer!

gigantic spans of time, a history that doesn't rhyme,
the source is your ass you fucking goof!

lying wonders to fool the clever mind, the bells and whistles are so precise,
your source is the devil and your narrative a farce!



I'll leave you to contemplate your folly with this rendition of Chemtrail Cowboy -- https://youtu.be/vca7c04r95I

There you go again, proving yourself right out of business by what you say.

Everything you say is what people have been saying for as many as thousands of years. Why don't we listen to what they say? Because we found that they hadn't examined things with precision, and put them together with exactness. It's the entire reason why the Middle Ages or the Dark Ages thought that the world was flat.

Now that we have accurate measurements made by telescopes, transits, satellites, etc., we have found that the earth is nearly a globe.

One simple proof that your idea of FE is way off can be found above, at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52735246. Use the principle involved for any size that you claim the sun is. It proves that the earth is not flat in any way that you are talking about. And if your ways are wrong, your whole point is wrong.

But it's fun playing with you like this. Boring, but fun anyway.

The globe hijacks the 1 minute angular resolution limit of the eye resulting in a ball with a radius of 3443 nautical miles, it fraudulently claims the compression caused by an object going past the limit is curvature. When a zoom lens with a lower limit is used the globe model completely falls apart.

Ships don't go over a curve because the horizon isn't the side of a fucking ball.

The horizon is a line in the vision. Flat refers to a plane. When you do a panoramic view of the horizon line, yet you are facing one position without turning, the horizon becomes a curved thing in view. However, nobody can see this, because the eye is not made to view this way. The understanding of this kind of a view comes from an extrapolation of the knowledge that the earth is a near-globe.

A GE doesn't dictate an edge. Only a simple understanding of the observation dictates an edge. Understanding of what the critical observation really is, shows that the horizon is the limit of sight on a globe, when the eye is above the globe at any specific height. The greater the height, the less the change in the angle of view, until the angle is essentially unchanged at millions or billions of miles of height.

As you say, the horizon is optical phenomenon. This means that it can't be relied upon to determine what is really being seen. This, also, means that all your talk about viewing the horizon and determining that the earth is flat from the viewing, has nothing to do with the shape or size of the earth. It's optical phenomenon, not what is actually there.

The result is that simply viewing the horizon is something that has nothing to do with determining whether the earth is flat, globular, or something else. The things that help to determine what the shape of the earth really is, are precise measurements that the eye is not capable of... measurements made by telescopes, transits, satellites, etc. In addition, these measurements are not only horizon measurements, but are also measurements of objects that sail over the horizon, and other objects as well.

You are going the wrong way with your talk. People have known for thousands of years that the simple eye-view is not precise enough to determining the size and shape of the earth. So, they invented many different instruments, and the math that goes along with it, to help determine the size and shape. Now, you want to go back to simple eye measurements that everybody knows are unable to make precise observations. You were born too late. You should have been born in the Dark Ages.
