Is the earth flat?

Hey do you have a degree?

@heatherpommelman: no? so what? you don't need someone smarter to know if someone is stupid.

its a negative you should only prove a positive. you are dumb until you can prove you are smart. but if you are smart doesn't mean you know everything.

I'm guessing you're not popular at the doctors :)

Really Time said he has a PhD

@heatherpommelman: it's been some time ago, however what I heard about his academic work was that it was an doctorate in education (ed.D). you can do either...if you want to do research work university level type of work you would lean more towards doing a PhD .

Wow nice fam

@cherokeepatti: Are you talking to mejess ?

@Lazarus: yes

@cherokeepatti: ask her why she blocked me ?

a bunch of reptiles :)

@meJess: So the humongous raptors were reptiles too?

@cherokeepatti: we say reptile for predatory people here, guess it's a Brit joke :)

@heatherpommelman: Smart yes. Completely off his nut and living in a rabbit hole when it comes to the earth being flat though.

@ProfessorClitinrub: Nah he's a good player

@heatherpommelman: And Ted Bundy was a good looking, charming man. Doesn't mean he wasn't a serial killer. Love Irving's game. Doesn't mean he's not living in a flat earth fantasy world.

@heatherpommelman: I totally like you! but you're right I don't know the importance of "repairkng" anything! 😉

@willyswonka: Lmao wanna battle rn you sound like an idiot

@heatherpommelman: When did you hear me? 😜

No I can't. Just looked forward. Seems flat to me.

@heatherpommelman: Have you ever wondered why objects disappear over the horizon when you're far enough away from them?

Try going to a large plain or body of water several miles wide with objects on the other side. Use a telescope or binoculars if you need to, but you'll notice that you cannot see the bottoms of tall objects that are that far away. Doors on the ground floor of buildings won't be visible, nor will cars or people. Likewise, if an object is approaching you from beyond the visual horizon, the first parts of it that are visible are the highest parts. You can even test this even easier if you live in a smooth area just by finding a tall object near your home (taller than your home of course), and moving away from both until you can no longer see one, but can still see the top of the other. This is even easier to demonstrate if you just tie something like a weather balloon on your property and travel away until you can for some reason, no longer see your much larger house, but still see the smaller-than-your-house weather balloon that's a few meters above your house.

This is because in all cases the bottoms of the objects/shorter/lower objects are hidden from view by the curvature of the Earth. If the Earth was flat, we would all be able to see the peak of Mt. Everest from almost anywhere on Earth with just a telescope. Likewise, if the Earth was flat, you should be able to take a telescope up the rocky mountains and be able to see NYC. But unless you're actually in the local vicinity of Mt. Everest or NYC, you'll never actually manage to find them this way, because the Earth is not actually flat.

Additionally, you could just get on a plane with a somewhat high cruising altitude. You can usually see 2 to 3 degrees of arc at such altitudes if you have about 60degrees of vision.

@Xuan12: I'm just kidding around over here you didn't need the explanation but thanks anyway. Love the amount of thought you put into it 👍👌👌👏👏👏
