Flat Earth

I think the young ladies assets would defy the suns gravity

Even The Flat Earth Society think he's a nut

All these questions are answered in the videos.
As I said it's the natural thing to dismiss it all because it goes against everything we've been taught but without watching it all properly with an open mind then really you will all have the same questions and answers you already think you know.
TBH I'm on the fence right now but I'm seeing more proof of flat than a globe

Hillingdon I think

Uxbridge I think you'll find.

Most of the points he makes are just obviously wrong, many contradict each other (EG some allow the atmosphere should spin with the Earth others the opposite) and a lot are just one unsubstantiated observation from 100+ years ago.  Pic some that don't involve too much maths and have some sort of logic and some of us can probably refute them easily.

Like his talking about sea navigation and dead reckoning, before chronometers it was well understood that you could easily get your Latitude by the height of the Sun above the Equator at noon, but Longitude required measuring the position of planets and consulting very complex tables until we could accurately know GMT.  Now we have GSP satellites that rely on very precipices tracking of the time and only work on the globe geometry, my GSP has worked well in Scotland, France and even Australia.  None of that stuff would work on his flat disk.

The guy is a martial arts instructor that believes the Mansions are behind the "conspiracy".

How do you explain the difference in shadow length between here and the equator.
Do you think everyone who's been in a plane or climbed a mountain and says the horizon is curved is in on the conspiracy?

[jtc]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion of what they believe to be true but all the calculations done in these videos are done from the equations of the people that teach us about a globe

The shadows will be different as the sun moves
And nobody sees a curve on the horizon
Where's the pictures of that?

So this is phoney then..... www.n2yo.com/space-station/ Watch a sunrise on there, stunning!

Everybody is entitled, but this guy has chosen to claim it is evidence about a conspiracy so is more than fair game to be refuted.  He is very selective on his choices and his proof do not provide a consistent view of the Earth, some of them claim there should be wind from the Earth's rotation others don't. 

As I said calculating that due to the curve of the earth that one end of something like a railway line or canal that goes north-south should be different height while being the same height above sea level is logically wrong. The height as he calls it is the height above sea level, you could take a tangent from one point and measure from that, but that would be contradictory to the Earth being a globe subject to gravity.

Another ridiculous one was if gravity is strong enough to keep things on the ground why do birds and plans fly effortlessly, they don't the require energy to do so.  But then he will ask why the atmosphere doesn't float off into space.

So you didn't check this then

Lets not forget the religious persecution Galileo suffered when he proved the Earth was not the centre of the Universe 400 years ago.

Shows the simplest answer is generally correct, even when it's not the most obvious.

[jtc]

Yes these are the generally excepted truths
I wouldn't say as simple though as the latest evidence I am seeing
