Flat Earth

I am suggesting that people, if they are interested, should see how you fared on the thread where this topic was discussed, and see - for themselves - whether your characterization of what your 'opponents' were and weren't able to argue is true or not.

For someone who thinks he was somehow vindicated on that thread, you don't half huff and puff when it's suggested that people go look and judge for themselves how you acquitted yourself on it. 😉

What are you laboring to say here?

The Earth ain't flat.

So easy to say, so difficult to prove...

So easy to prove, so difficult to get motivated.

You'd be the first; that ought to provide some incentive.

Unfortunately it has already been proved by approximately 876,500 people. (One of them a Lorry driver from Wigan).

Well, it's a silent minority, that lot.
Tell them to release their knowledge to the rest of the world.

Sir, you're a Weeble.

I have (and continue to) study ALL the evidence for any explanation of the physical world.
Historically speaking, man has held the globe model as reality a small fraction of the whole; the remaining time man has held the world to be various forms of flat, or table-like.

Bringing gravity into the situation will only muddy the waters, as it is a phenomen ...[text shortened]... is nothing more than speculation.

That being said, you haven't answered the two questions...

I don't know if you ever hear of seismographs, it might do you good to do so. Also ground reflection radar and acoustic radar.

All of which shows many many miles of depth to Earth.

All you are doing is bringing up obvious strawmen in your desperate attempt at humor I think.

If Earth was only 12 miles deep satellites would be impossible and you cannot even begin to refute it except the RJHinds way, 'you are wrong, I am right' kind of mindless argument-less strategy.

You tell ME how a satellite can be in a circular path a few hundred miles above a flat Earth. Sure, a PLANE can do that, as long as it has fuel but I don't know if you noticed or not, not many satellites have rockets on board to keep thrusting about to maintain that
'circular' path otherwise it would just keep going straight with not much in the way of gravity to hold it back.

I don't think you even want to consider reality in your mythology, just something to have fun with while you smoke a doobie and laugh your ass off.

I see all this fun you have been having at other folk's expense is doing wonders for your chess rating here.

The answer is in his profile... 😀

even when confronted by a weeble, i never thought you would stoop so low as to label anyone, anyone, such a vile label...
my opinion of you, sir, has lost 12 points...

🙂 Was actually a backhanded compliment.

I think he gave up. He squeezed as much laity as he could out of this subject.

I never said the earth was only 12 miles deep.
Perhaps you are able to show where I did say this?
What I did say, however, is that the furthest ever drilled is 12 miles.

I have not had a hit for many years.

Alas, I quit caring about chess ratings nearly 600 points ago: what is the value?

That's how I took it.
