Earth Question

[citfta]

I have asked a few questions about the belief in a flat earth and all but one of them have been ignored.  When I asked about the benefits of believing in a flat earth the answer I got if I understand it correctly is that it gives the believer a sense of superiority to believe in something they think has been suppressed.  If I misunderstood that then please explain what other benefits there are to believing in a flat earth.


My other questions that have been ignored more than once were these:


How do flat earth believers explain the changing seasons?  And how do they explain that if you are above the arctic circle in the summer time you can actually watch the sun go completely around you in a 24 period?  And how does the sun not shine at all above the arctic circle in the winter time?  And how do you explain the tides if the ocean is flat as you claim?


And here are a couple of more questions for you to consider.  Looking at the moon phases it is clear from the shadow on the moon that the moon is a sphere.  So if the moon is a sphere then why should we believe the earth is not also?  And my last question that really has me confused is what possible physical mechanism is at work that would allow the sun to be suspended above the earth and move around over the earth?  Is there a giant standing over the earth with the sun hanging from a chain or rope while he slowly swings it around over the earth.


Please guys learn some basic physics before posting nonsense.  Any ham radio operator can tell you about the ionosphere which allows long distance communications.  And we can tell you about the sunspot cycles that affect the ionosphere.  And we can also tell you about tropospheric ducting and inversion layers that even allow sometimes long range TV reception. 


I will make a prediction now that neither of you that are claiming the earth is flat will answer any of these questions.  They will be ignored again because you don't have any answers.  Since you can't answer actual questions about the physics of how a flat earth could work I won't be posting anymore to this thread because it is a waste of time.  I only posted this post in order for others to see that the idea of a flat earth does not hold up to scientific study.

I have asked a few questions about the belief in a flat earth...

I reckon you addressed them to a couple of acid heads.

Find and Observe the OrangeStrap from below, in the movie above?

It's from RT. Nobody cares about anything from your Russian friends.

Johan,

Don't follow what you expect to be seen, and a 5 hour video loaded with straps is more than I can bear to watch in its entirety to figure it out.

Can you please post a link to the point in the video to look for that strap at/from?

BUT in the few minutes I scanned through watching for orange straps I did spot a few things that go against "basic physics" first of which is at the very beginning with the woman commenting about the "visible moisture in the connector". That's strange because vacuum is what removes water very quickly on earth from any A/C system on earth. Should it not have vanished near instantly in the extreme vacuum of "space"?

Also the size of the "globe earth" showing here at  https://youtu.be/VaYSyQg-WjU?t=8719 - with that ever changing radius of the earth
'below" in the background visually trips the BULLSHIT ALARM. I am sure there is probably much more wrong: besides a fish eye lens.

No way is earth going show up that small (that tight a radius) from the altitude the ISS is supposed to be at: 220 - 240 miles.

Does anybody else here including the "too smart" also see this as a problem?
