With the Billions Quadzillions spen how come we dont have a photo showing the Globe earth.

But we do have plenty of photographic and video proof that the earth is a spheroid. Not to mention the gobs and gobs of maths dealing with celestial mechanics.

We have not a single photo showing a flat Earth in profile. Not a single photo of the fabled Ice Wall/Ring. No detailed information about the alleged dome covering a flat Earth. No explanation for how gravity can be uniform in a flat earth scenario (other than a flat disc rising upwards for eternity - sheer lunacy)

How do you reconcile this ?

My guess is that NASA only has 3-D CGI capabilities otherwise they would release 2-D depictions of our Flat Earth.

On a side note, rumor has it that a caveman invented a flat square but was killed by the Cro-Illuminati tribe so to advance their spinning wheel doctrine.

The photographer is using a fish-eye lens in that photo (do I really need to point that out for you ?!)
100 points to the Candidate.

Nice try, except it's not a fish-eye lens being used in that particular Redbull photo. You can tell by the lack of curvature and warping with the perspective in the photo.
Its a well known fact and reported many times over that go-pro supplied the 5 cameras used.

Maybe its time to get the basics covered, a good starting point is my sig.

<-- This is your proof the Earth is a ball? Have a nice day!

If you believe in flat earth you must already believe all photographic evidence is forged. You also have to reject most of science. Its all part of the global conspiracy right? We could go talk to that skydiver and ask him what he saw but if he says he saw a curvature he must be in on the scam right? Him and everyone else who has ever flown or ballooned to high altitudes.

Do you really think the entire world is acting in concert in a massive and global conspiracy just to fool you? People really have better things to do with their time.

I posted the photo simply to show you that it is possible to see for yourself with your own eyes that the world is not flat. Its would not be cheep but it is within the realm of the possible.

Unfortunately, however if you actually did fly to high altitudes it would shatter your worldview as you would see for yourself that the earth is very much not flat. Then you would have to choose between lying or denunciation by all your flat earth friends who would call you a traitor and sell out. Knowledge is not always cost free.

Right^^^. They don't have enough science behind their claims to make flat earth into a theory, let alone to prove that it is true.

What they have is a religion. It isn't a philosophy, because they don't philosophize about it. They simply have a bunch of beliefs that don't have a basis in fact or reality.

I am usually pretty hesitant to call something a religion but in this case I have to agree with you BADecker

Many prefer to believe that believe in a flat Earth can only form the illiterate and dim-witted people. Nevertheless, many personalities were similar views. Among them are our contemporaries whose names may be familiar to you. For example, Nigerian terrorist Mohammed Yusuf, founder of Boko Haram that Jaro hates Western educational system for its twisted worldview.

And why have you locked-up the photos in the closed. Others like to see them too, would you be so kind and share, or to you wait for the price to sell them.

Maths, yeah to you use the 8 inch per mile squared or the distance (miles, km, cm, inch......) multiplied by 0.318 to bet height of drop? At what distance you start to see the "hump" of water. Why trees, grass ...grows Up when gravity is so strong that it keeps you to the ground?

Or have you got one? Dont try to find one at NASA they will tell you straight up that they dont have one, only cgi's.

You do not have to trust NASA.  If you are willing to spend the money you can go up in a balloon 24 miles and see the curvature of the earth for yourself. Like the guy who broke the skydiving record a few years back.

NASA and other world governments have spent untold Billions (Trillions even) of dollars sending probes into space, and all sorts of spiffy STEM research resulting in photographic and mathematical evidence revealing spheroid planetary shapes.

How come we have not one photo showing that the Earth is flat ? Where is proof of a dome (What is it made of, for example ?) Where are photos of this alleged ice wall that surrounds a flat earth ?

Whenever I press the FE's in the thread on the science of things, all I get is links to (very) poorly produced videos on YouTube that are hyperbolic at best.

Hmm.

Imagine smoking a flat cigarette, or drinking a flat beer, or climbing a flat mountain.

If you believe that our planet is like a bloated soccer ball, you are unremarkable; once deceived man, one of the 7 billion. But how much more original to believe that our planet - it is something like a huge plate of frisbee is currently a giant UFO? But such an idea - a direct path to an exclusive club, which has only 100 people: Flat Earth Society.

According to the school curriculum, and Wikipedia, the Earth has the shape of an oblate ellipsoid. Many perceive this information as an indisputable fact, and do not even try to check it in practice. Nevertheless, common skepticism still alive on our planet

If a person tries to argue on rational grounds that it is reasonable to be skeptical of an oblately-spherical Earth because they don't "check it in practice," then in order to be consistent he needs to be skeptical of a litany of other facts he hasn't personally verified. 

Some examples may include: the existence of any country they haven't been to; molecules and atoms; bacteria; photons; his own mortality; any image/photo/video of any event they didn't personally witness; etc.

It's easy to see how consistent application of such extreme skepticism would be detrimental to him.

This doesn't mean that they don't have a few facts. If they didn't have a few self-evident facts, they wouldn't have such a large following.

How do Flat-Earthers explain the opposite direction of water exiting through a drain in the north and south hemishperes?
Lol, you gulp up absolute everything. This is one of the oldest carnival tricks used.
Water has memory, which ever way you make it spin filling the sink is the way it will drain.

LOL!!!  water has memory.. please post the youtube video where you learned this I need a good laugh.

The fact is the whole flat earth is one living being, you harm anything in any way, you harm yourself.
Globots are the cancerous part.

Now you are starting to sound like "Gaia" in Issac Asimov's Foundation series.

Aristotle (which made a lot of observations of the Earth's spherical nature) noticed that during lunar eclipses (when the orbit of the Earth puts a planet exactly between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow) shadow on the lunar surface - a round. This shadow is the earth, and cast by the shadow it points directly to the spherical shape of the planet.


If the moon was in "space" you would not be able to see it in the day time

You can focus a camera in the distance and then use the same setting and the point camera point at the moon and the moon is in focus  50 miles vs 237000 miles... how is this possible?

The moon is always (sets and rises)  full only in the "hemisphere" which is in winter.
If it rises/sets in the north east- north west - its winter in the northern hemisphere
If it rises/sets in the south east - south west - its winter in the southern hemisphere
Coincidence?

I know that the Earth is round just out of school! Myself I do not seen with your own eyes! And even flight does not mean that it is round! In my flat-earth theory at least should make a reasonable person's view, ask questions regarding our non free world! The world which manages tv! Want to ask a question to those who believe in the realm of how often they look at least at the stars! Most of them even see! Due to the light blockage of the Earth!



Yes, yes, young crockoo.

Breathe the glue deeply and repeat, "Earth is a spinning ball, I live on a spinning ball."

You'll be just fine.
