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.

This is just a textbook Gish Gallop that begs other questions but whatever.

1) here’s an entire playlist of the sun behaving exactly as expected on a flat surface according to the laws of perspective

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEzivhxtxgbs-VlztQ7VskQCqABgf7zJo

2) This is just word salad. You aren’t demonstrating this experiment or explaining how it wouldn’t work on a flat surface with magnetic north at its center.

3) the force that causes objects to fall has nothing to do with the surface we live on, and even mainstream science can’t explain what gravity is

4) don’t understand the question because you didn’t explain

5) even in an enclosed surface the pressure is greater on the bottom; there is still a pressure gradient

6) , which you also didn’t explain how it proves a spinning ball

7) the reason why has nothing to do with the evidence or proof, and the percentage of people who believe in God is irrelevant to the idea that there is a concerted effort to staunch that belief. Obviously if no one believed in God there would be no reason to dissuade them.

8) Poorly explained question, but compasses point to magnetic north. There is no single “South Pole” and there is no such thing in nature as a dipole spherical magnet, therefore no reason to believe you live on one

So you what you're saying is your just going to dismiss all of these observations with no explanations? That's what I thought.

1)Per your own video none of those observations do the demonstration with a solar filter.

2)I already said these aren't experiments they are observations. We know on a slat surface triangles must have internal angles equaling 180 degrees. Which means equilateral triangle have 60 60 60 degree internal angles. So why can't I make an equilateral triangle to navigate back to my start point if I'm walking on a flat surface?

3)We do know everything accelerates at the same rate no? We know this is the gravitational constant no?

4)pretty simple question I use a pendulum in New York and measure the angle of the drift. My friend in Miami does the same thing measures the angular drift. Why are our angles different?

5) sealed systems do not have gradient. That's just a blatant lie to say otherwise.

And it's not a poor question. I have compass. I cross the equator. It no longer works. Why?

I think we are done here Joe. You demonstrated exactly what I thought you would.

Sealed systems absolutely do have a pressure gradient. I can’t even believe you’re claiming otherwise.

You haven’t done any of these demonstrations or explained how they are exclusive to a spinning ball.

So you're saying when I check the pressure of my tire and it says 38 psi it's only 38 psi closest to the wall of the tire? Or the wheel. What about in my compressor in my show it it not at 200 psi throughout the tank?

I have personally done the solar filter The navigation and the pendulum. The others are demonstrable observations.

These are responses I expected.
