Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

[Pirate88179]

We have launched satellites in polar orbits for many years now and, guess what?...they show the round earth as does the other east/west sat. orbits do.  How dumb do you have to be to think the earth is not round?

Ummm...ever see videos or photos of a drop of water in near zero g in a spacecraft?  Yes, it forms a round glob, just like the earth and other planets did all those years ago when the universe was formed.  The water does not form coin shaped disks.

God help us if there are folks that actually "think" like this.

There are a ton of flat-Earth videos on YouTube, many of them professionally done.  There is a full-blown flat-Earth subculture on YouTube.  You read some of their comments and it's kind of mind-blowing.

Nature has programmed diversity into all species with the DNA crap shoot and obviously there is a diversity of personality types and thought patterns.  Who would have thought that some of them would gravitate to the pizza pie theory of the Earth?

Here's an exert from the book mentioned at the end.

The necessity of accounting for the Coriolis force by battleship gunners is discussed in Marion's mechanics book. The relevant paragraph is quoted here:
"During the naval engagement near the Falkland Islands which occurred early in World War I, the British gunners were surprised to see their accurately aimed salvos falling 100 yards to the left of the German ships. The designers of the sighting mechanisms were well aware of the Coriolis deflection and had carefully taken this into account, but they apparently were under the impression that all sea battles took place near 50 degrees N latitude and never near 50 degrees S latitude. The British shots, therefore, fell at a distance from the targets equal to twice the Coriolis deflection." (Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems, Second Edition — by Jerry B. Marion, Academic Press, Inc., 1970, p.346 fn
                                                                                                                                                                               .

That is 100% total B.S.!  There's no relative motion between two stationary people at different latitudes while each has a different rotational speed.  A person with a higher rotational speed at one latitude doesn't move away or towards a person with a lower rotational speed at a different latitude (their positions will remain fixed relative to one another while the earth is supposedly rotating), thus there is no reason to offset the sighting mechanisms to compensate for a rotational speed difference in a rotating earth.  If the air moves with the earth, then there's no net force to turn hurricanes.  if it doesn't, then you're going to be knocked over by 1000 mph winds.  Coriolis is bunk.  Its attributed to all kinds of magic that either doesn't happen or is explained by something else.  Being able to calculate an event does not equate to knowing what causes that event to happen. Coriolis effect is not accounted for while targeting things over long distances, because "the Coriolis effect" as you've been taught it, doesn't exist.

Here's an excellent theory on the "so-called" Coriolis effect:  Coriolis effect proves flat earth.

The earth rotates west to east in both hemispheres.  If you're in the Northern hemisphere while I'm in the Southern hemisphere and you're moving faster than I am in an eastward direction, then I would need to aim more to my right in order to compensate for you moving away from me in an eastward direction and you would need to aim more to your right to compensate for you moving away from me in an eastward direction.  If we changed hemispheres and I move faster than you in an eastward direction, then we would both be aiming more towards our right just as we did prior to changing hemispheres, thus having to offset the sighting mechanism in the opposite direction because we moved to a different hemisphere is nonsense, LOL!!!

October 14, 2015 NASA's "most epic" time lapse footage of earth from space CLEARLY shows this is Computer Graphics (CGI).  Observe how the clouds never move, how the city lights on earth never twinkle, how fake it looks in general,...look at the comments, everyone is noticing how fake it is...(see first image below)

Over 15,000 satellites, never saw one from the International Space Station (ISS) view or any other fake stuff they release
- Over 30,000,000 debris around the earth, same as above
- Over 84,000 meteorites a year, same as above

Here we can see there are no real photo's of ANY satellites despite there being a cluttered crazy amount up there (see second image attachment below of google's image search of satellite images)
