For anyone who believes the Earth is flat I am not here to say you fell for a psyop, call you names, or insult you in general. I just have a few questions and observations I would like to have addressed. I am being respectful so please do the same.

1) I hear many people who are flat earth believers say sunrise and sunsets are perspective. My question, why is it if when you use a solar filter on a camera you can photograph the sun from sunrise to sunset you can clearly observe the sun come from behind a physical barrier, stay the same size, and then disappear bottom up behind a physical barrier? If the Earth were flat the sun is small and local, the sun should change size as it moves farther away from observer but this is not what is observed.

2) when walking cross country, why is it if I use compass, walk one mile, turn 60 degrees, walk one more, turn 60 degrees, and walk a third mile ibwill not end up near where I began. But doing the same thing with 90bdegree turns inl donl end up back where I started? If the earth were flat why would I need to make a triangle with internal angles equal to 270 degrees as opposed to 180 degrees?

3) why is it objects, regardless of their mass all accelerate at the exact same rate towards the earth when dropped? [Note you can't say density as density isn't a force and cannot give objects a vector and you cannot say buoyancy as to calculate buoyancy you have to factor in gravity]

4) why is it a pendulum drifts differently based on you position on earth?

5) why does Earth have an atmospheric pressure gradient starting at 14.7 psi and gradually decreasing as you gain elevation eventually reaching near 0? If the earth were contained then the gas particles would be hitting a physical barrier like the flat earth claims to be why do we not have a uniform pressure regardless of altitude?

6) why does every gyroscope on every aircraft all detect a 15 degree per hour drift regardless of it they're moving or stationary? [Note you can't claim its detecting the movement of the sky as the gyros are sealed and can't detect movement of the sky]

7) what would be the reason to lie about the shape of the Earth? [Note you can't say to make us turn from God, as of 2019 nearly 71% of all adults on the planet believe in a God or afterlife, most of those being Abrahamic religions so clearly this can't be the case]

8) why does a compass built in the northern hemisphere not work in the southern?

Again not being a dick I just want a real, scientifically based, intelligent answers, not the Bible says this, or this ancient culture believed this.

here is the post.

  1. There's a video of it fading away. The guy that took it said he had to zoom in a lot and do it on a cold clear day so the moisture in the air didn't mess with the light.

  2. No idea

  3. Incoherent electrostatic acceleration

  4. Could be magnetism. Not sure.

  5. I'm not convinced that there even is a pressure gradient. Something interesting to look into.

  6. They don't. The guy that made that video was lying. People have set a laser gyro on a table and watched it do absolutely nothing. National Geographic was caught faking a video that "proved" a physical horizon. A guy tried to "prove" a 24 hour sun in Antarctica. It was exposed as a fake. People lie to defend the globe.

  7. Well NASA gets like 70 million dollars a day so that's a pretty big incentive.

  8. Isn't this fact in favor of flat earth? You would think that the same magnet that is attracted to the north pole would be equally repelled in the same direction by the south pole, on the globe model. But if the compass performs worse as you get further away from magnetic north, that would indicate that there isn't a south pole at all.
