oh for recent footage taken from space this article on msn seems to show a rather less than flat earth www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/nasa-launched-a-gopro-into-space-and-the-footage-will-leave-you-absolutely-speechless/ar-BBsEHYS?ocid=spartandhpI still don't say that flat earthers are wrong though since I haven't personally been to space and seen what the earth looks like from that vantage I cant be totally definitive, but I do disagree with the notion, and here's a simple exercise that will show why, take a thimble put it on a flat table top and stick your head on one side looking towards it close the upper eye, the thimble stays the same size regardless of how close you get to it, take the same thimble place it on a football (or other round opaque object of similar size) with something like blue tak to hold it in place, put that on the side of your head and rotate the ball so the thimble comes into view, it is invisible when below the horizon and then grows in size gradually until it is completely visible as your rotate the ball, notice the similarities when traveling towards a hill on the open road, things grow from invisible (below the horizon) to huge..... on a flat surface you don't get a horizon you get a blury dark ness at the edge of your field of view, that's why parabolics are used for sights or telescopes and why you mount telescopes on hill sides instead of on low ground ...... It's a rather bizarre criteria you have for saying something is definitively true or not. I've never been to Mt Everest or Australia i have no qualms however in definitely saying both exist and i suspect neither do you so why place this criteria of not being able to be definitive about the Earth being spherical on yourself because you haven't seen it directly? purely because I don't know for certain that the earth is globe shaped as per the images depicted or if it is in fact a curved disc, I'd hedge my bets on it being the former rather than the latter given the available sum of knowledge on the matter but I don't totally discount the notion that popular belief is wrong, after all popular and scientific belief suggests that e-cig use is worse for you than sucking in a lungful cigarette smoke a small but loud fringe groups has maintained that as false and now it seems mainstream science is catching up and seeing through the fog of popular belief, its widely believed that the US gov lies about pretty much everything, and that was certainly proven true about several things, so for this reason I wont totally poo-poo the idea as utter tosh, besides there needs to be a little mystery out there, I mean how do we know the moon is a circular shape when we never see anything more than a semi circle ?

nanotm You are the first person on here that has displayed any open mindedness on this matter and what you just said makes perfect sense. The thing is it's just too easy for people to mock and spout what they've been taught or brainwashed into. This thing is massive and I truly believe is one worth watching

Ahahahahahaha TBH you can dismiss me as a total fool if you want but I've yet to see any real proof of a globe Only nasa obvious cgi But FE people seem to be showing flatness everywhere and proven with the equations of the globe that is taught

Would you like to buy some magic beans Jack? They come from a very magical mystical unbelievable place: the only flat planet in a universe where all the others of around 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets are spherical.

I think it's more like people's pants have been pulled down while hands on their heads What reason exactly would the government have to lie about the shape of the planet? And not just one government but every government on the planet and not just every government on the planet now but every government on the planet going back decades and centuries? And not just governments but mariners, pilots, astronauts, astronomers, physicists, geologists also going back decades and centuries. We're literally talking about tens of millions of people all lying for what purpose?

I hear the FDA and TPD have deemed the Earth, Flat or Spherical, to be a tobacco product and therefore is to be regulated out of existance.

And not just governments but mariners, pilots, astronauts, astronomers, physicists, geologists also going back decades and centuries. We're literally talking about tens of millions of people all lying for what purpose? Not tens of millions just the selected top people know apparently like the highest order masons. It's believed they lie because they are making trillions from nasa and it gives them mind control of the masses. They do not want us to know the truth and are steering us away from our real creator God. The globe goes against what the bible says and so does being able to pass through the firmament. Over the years less and less people have religious faith because of their sun worshiping lies and we believe we are inconsequential nothingness in a galaxy flying around at great speeds. It's all about control, money and evil against the the real truth apparently. And yes millions of us know that the fda/tpd is BS sydsut but still they are just treating people like fools and playing stupid games for control and gain. All in your face bs but hey hoe most except their evil and carry on regardless. Anyway that's kind of what is suspected why they lie about a globe but nobody really knows,only the ones that are lying. The earth was believed flat a hell of a lot longer than the globe theory but now because they tell us it is everyone accepts it with actually no real evidence. I wish I had all the answers about this but all I can do is sit on the fence and watch for evidence. It's very surprising that apart from nasa cgi there isn't any globe evidence but there is plenty of flat plain evidence if you actually looked at it

Yes well if you accept everything you're told then maybe that's why you think other people might believe in the beans sir. Mocking is the easy way out I suppose and I understand the ignorance and arrogance but it really doesn't prove anything

'And not just governments but mariners, pilots, astronauts, astronomers, physicists, geologists also going back decades and centuries.' Mariners. Always getting lost because the globe calculations don't add up. Apparently they travel around in a circle and not upside down on magical upside down sea. Pilots. landing on a spinning ball travelling at 1000mph is impossible. They would get the opposite way of spin so much faster but they don't. They make no adjustment for a curvature. This list is way too long to list. Astronauts. All in the masonic club and given a hell of a lot of money to act and lye. Physicists & geologists. Working off bs teachings about a globe and gravity and even depicting the globe from surface to core.the truth is the deepest hole ever drilled is not deep at all. I seem to remember 80 miles. It's all easily explained really. Still no globe proof anyway
