And now you flat earthers are trying to substitute Youtube videos for science. You have learned well.

Go back to the science that shows the earth is round, and try to beat that. Perhaps if you yammer loudly enough, someone in authority will make earth flat for you.

Ok one last attempt before I leave Plato's cave.

"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality." (Nikola Tesla)

"Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence - by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed - only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle." (Nikola Tesla)

"Earth is flat, and that's that. Dig it or die ignorant." (nomad13666)

"I eat my own boogers." (BADecker)

He (Cavendish) considered the problem for years, until in 1797, at age 67, he began his own experiments. He started with a torsion balance apparatus given to him by his friend, the geologist Reverend John Michell, who had been interested in doing the experiment himself but wasn’t able to carry it out before he died. Realizing that Michell’s equipment was inadequate to measure the tiny gravitational force between two small metal spheres, Cavendish set about tinkering until he had a more precise setup.

He built a large dumbbell, with two-inch lead spheres stuck to the ends of a six-foot long wooden rod. The rod was suspended from a wire held at the center, and was free to rotate. A second dumbbell with two twelve-inch lead spheres weighing 350 pounds each was then brought near the first so that the large spheres would attract the smaller ones, exerting a slight torque on the suspended rod. Cavendish would then painstakingly watch for hours to observe the rod’s oscillations.

This would provide a measure of the gravitational force of the larger spheres on the smaller ones. And since the density of the spheres was known and the gravitational attraction between Earth and the spheres could be measured by weighing the spheres, the ratio the two forces could be used to determine Earth’s density.

Since the gravitational force between the spheres is so weak, the tiniest air current could ruin the delicate experiment. Cavendish placed the apparatus in a closed room to keep out extraneous air currents. He used a telescope to observe the experiments through a window, and set up a pulley system that made it possible to move the weights from outside. The room was kept dark to avoid temperature differences in different parts of the room affecting the experiment.  

Cavendish relentlessly tracked down potential sources of error. He rotated the spheres in case they had picked up some magnetization. He observed the attraction of the rods without the spheres on the ends. He tried different types of wire to support the apparatus.

After agonizing over every possible complicating factor, Cavendish finally reported his results in June 1798 in a 57-page paper in the Transactions of the Royal Society entitled “Experiments to Determine the Density of the Earth.” He reported that the density of Earth was 5.48 times the density of water. (The currently accepted value is 5.52).

Others later repeated the experiment, using similar apparatus, and for almost a century no one achieved any improvement over Cavendish’s original measurement.

There's no common ground, their fascist goal is absolute slavery and mind control. This is a conspiracy by the 1% to suck your blood (mixed with vinegar) and bugger your children after torturing and murdering them. They've created a prison for your mind and as such your body follows; this psychological matrix has you hurtling through an empty vacuum millions of miles an hour in all directions on the surface of spinning ball.


Anybody who doesn't believe the overwhelming evidence the Earth is flat will never escape this global hell!

Things fall because they are denser than the medium they're in just like lighter objects float because they're less dense. Gravity is made up bullshit that's only needed to prop up the bullshit heliocentric model. There is no outer-space it's all bullshit, satellites are bullshit the only thing that's up there are weather balloons.

Also yes, the Moon landings were made in a Hollywood basement.  

There is much to quarrel and argue on this subject, but you guys have to understand that the laws of gravity has not been canceled. Moreover, they even religion recognizes the scientific work of many researchers. So you need to find common ground.

Sorry dude, you're just a brainwashed retard rehashing the same flawed spinning ball Earth argument over and over again. You get the same results from Errortosthenes experiment if the Sun is ~32 miles wide and ~3k miles overhead, which it is. If you need proof that the Sun is ~3k miles overhead you can measure the distance yourself with a sextant.

It appears that the flat-earther's figures are based on sun elevation data at just two particular latitudes, perhaps even Eratosthenes' values. flat earthers may have picked these out of some book, and when the calculation was finished, they looked no further. For if they had done the calculation with a variety of latitudes, including large latitude differences, conflicting results would have been obtained.

For two towns having latitudes within about 30° of each other, reasonably consistent results are obtained. But when larger baselines are used, the triangulation would give a much smaller distance to the sun. For a 70° latitude difference the distance to the sun comes out less than half that for a 10° difference.

How about airplanes and earth satellites in orbit around a flat earth. And what about airliners going around the earth? What about earth satellites? They are merely traveling in loop orbits. What makes them do this? Flat-earthers do not say. Flat-earthers shun any form of gravitational force. They consider gravity to be a mystical or occult idea. Things fall, they say, simply because they are heavy—no other explanation is needed. What about the moon flights and the pictures from space showing a round planet. It's must all be a hoax, an elaborate movie production.
