The Flat Earth Deception

Before science has proven that the Earth is round, facts about the spherical Earth and the concept of gravity was already mentioned in the Bible.

However, even if the original Hebrew is correctly understood to refer to a circle, this doesn’t necessarily indicate something flat; a sphere appears as a circle when seen from above—and indeed from whatever direction it is viewed. Moreover, there is good reason to believe that the word translated ‘circle’ might be better translated ‘sphere’.

It has been a known fact that the Earth is round for more than 2,000 years.

Flat earther Jeran's problems with his detection of earth's curvature: • Flat earther accidently proves earth'... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RapVrOQwv8o&t=0s Of course, both flat earthers claim that the documentary was deceptive. Of course, they've both lied when making up excuses. See this analysis from Sly Sparkane: • Flat Earth: 2 Tests and a Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW_lIPdsWjY&t=0s See how Bob Knodel was exposed lying about his flight license: • Did this Flat Earther lie about being... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjqOzimCz7A&t=0s If you are a flat earther: nope, the earth is not flat! You can clearly see the curvature in undistorted (!) amateur footage: https://imgur.com/a/vGrZssA https://imgur.com/a/RacViFN Since the curvature is consistent, regardless of the camera's angle, it's proved that the curvature is not due to a fisheye lens. The overlay shows the theoretical expectation on a sphere with earth's radius, calculated with Walti’s horizon app: http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Finding+the+Curvature+of+the+Earth The observation and the expectation match very well. Flat earthers claim that the horizon is "always at eye level", which is, of course, not true. Independent measurements clearly prove the drop of the horizon: https://imgur.com/a/xLfRI8M https://imgur.com/a/ctodmDn https://imgur.com/a/1kAufSm The white cross indicates the eye level; the horizon is clearly below. Again, the overlaid expectation matches very well with the observation. The effects of the curvature in the line of sight can be seen when zooming: https://imgur.com/a/SJhnjQt In their "experiments", flat earthers ignore atmospheric refraction, which tends to increase the maximum viewing range. This is a well-known effect. And no, the curvature has nothing to do with perspective or "atmospheric lensing", as some flat earthers say. In fact, all flat earth videos regarding "atmospheric lensing" are frauds, since they always look through the lower part of their magnifying glass, where they should look through the upper part in order to simulate atmospheric refraction. Earth's rotation can easily be proved: a testmass weighs less when flying with earth's rotation, as can be seen here: • eotvos en https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ushpbbP2H8&t=0s All flat earth claims are debunked.

He is absolutely right, a flat surface is fairly unstable. A sphere is a much more stable surface. Also a sphere can withstand immense pressure placed upon it that a flat surface simply cannot withstand.

We asked him what he thought of flat earth theory, a school of thought which believes that the earth is not spherical but flat. "All our physics is constructed now, the physics of orbits of things going around the earth is all constructed with this three dimensional world. And the pictures from space show our world as a globe and yet somehow there are some people that still seem to believe the earth is flat." "My own pet theory is that they’re doing it for comic effect."

Have you ever flown somewhere and see the inflight map showing the curved route your airplane was taking? You might wonder why would the plane took the seemingly longer pathway to reach the destination, instead of flying a straight line from the departing point to the destined airport you are going to land. So, what is the reason behind this? Surprisingly, the reasons behind the phenomenon of curved path are relatively simple physics and mathematics. The earth is a 3-dimensional sphere, and because of the spherical shape, the circumference of the Earth is much greater around the equator than it is in higher or lower latitudes towards the poles. While we tend to recreate a flat map to represent the Earth, it doesn’t reflect on the real condition of the planet. That’s why when staring at a 2-dimensional map, the route taken by flights could be perplexing, as it doesn’t take into account the round shape of the Earth.

Camera zoom works by enlarging the center portion of the image, or in other words, by making its field-of-view narrower. Zooming in on the setting sun will not reveal more of the sun and will only enlarge the size of the sun in the resulting image. The sun is seen dipping down below the horizon which proves the Earth is not flat, but is a rotating sphere. Credit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzjFOZ00Ka8

Due to the increasing number of people subscribing to the idea, John Harris, director of Living Waters Europe, decided to investigate whether the science really holds up for the Flat Earth model. John tries a number of experiments himself, the results of which you may find surprising. Credit - https://fb.watch/p06KVGlG4g/

This video needs no explanation; it simply and quickly illustrates the biggest problem for the Flat Earth model of the Earth .There is no math involved, it is easy to verify for yourself, and anyone can understand the problem from a single view of this video. Here is the evidence: now you decide. Credit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4CPL4mcpDc

Flerfers: "Water doesn't bend!" is one of the main arguments they make to claim that the Earth is not a sphere but flat. This experiment shows that water can be made to bend with static electricity. Now think about water on a global scale with Earth having gravity and a polar magnetic field. Now is it really that hard to believe that water can exist on a sphere the size of the Earth?

In recent years there has been a sharp increase in the number of people who believe the earth is flat. In this presentation, Dr. Faulkner will briefly describe the history of this phenomenon, examine some of the supposed biblical and physical evidence for a flat earth, and delve into the possible motives of those promoting this idea. Dr. Danny R. Faulkner earned graduate degrees in physics and astronomy and is distinguished professor emeritus at the University of South Carolina Lancaster, where he taught over 26 years.

As the moon rotates around the earth it travels through phases. The alignment of the sun, earth, and moon create the phases. I use an orrery to explain the moon's alignment during, new moon, waxing crescent, ist quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, and back to new moon. The sidereal period is 27.3 and the moon is measured against stars. The synodic period is 29.5 days and the moon is measured against the sun. Credit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sj2otIjZfM

Why the Flat Earth argument of "no curve" makes no sense Correction @ 2:20 I stated the basketball diameter as 77cm (this is the circumference), the diameter is only 24cm - 1cm above a basketball would actually equal 330 miles above Earth Please consider supporting the channel of Dave McKeegan - https://www.youtube.com/@DaveMcKeegan
