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.

Lol, you are so full of shit.

I provided the most complete point-by-point answers to your “questions,” at least the ones that made any sense.

You did not do the bullshit reflector test. Even if you did, it wouldn’t prove that there are mirrors on the moon. And even if it somehow did, which it doesn’t, it still wouldn’t prove men put them there.

I have posted extensively on this topic and if the search/archive function of Voat still worked I could link to the post I made about it, which I intended on being my last so that I didn’t have to debunk that nonsense another fifty times.

Yes I did. It's is a graduation requirement for Physics 403 w/lab.

Explain how we were able to hit the reflector and all of the data from globe earth and the Apolo missions got us on target. Explain it. Or admit you have zero real evidence. You say "nu-uh" and nothing more. You're ignorant.

You have no evidence because there is no evidence. There is no map, no measurements, no function model. Nothing.

How about this. Nice and easy. Show me a map of the flat earth.

Wait if you can hone in on a reflector why cant someone take a picture of the dune buggy or the flag?

You can't see the reflector, you have to use coordinates from the mission. You'll know if you hit it or not based the return strength.

An actually sane question. Welcome to pixel resolution.

Now ask yourself why the great researchers of flat earth have remedial science questions on things which are easily explained and been known since the events occurred?

It's almost as if people don't know science and never actually research anything.

It’s not necessary to have a reflector on the moon to detect reflected lasers from it, as it as done as early as 1966 to measure the supposed distance to moon. This is what the link to an old Nat Geo article you didn’t read explained.

I still absolutely don’t believe that you did this “experiment” but even if you did, it was in a supervised setting where the Texas sharpshooter fallacy was used to create the illusion — you certainly didn’t see a reflector to know it was there. Even if it were there, you supposedly believe in lunar rovers and space probes, so it wouldn’t by any means prove that astronauts placed it there.

But I’m glad you admitted that you actually believe that is a real space ship, which hilariously disqualifies you from even debating the shape of the earth.

So tell me where did you train in aerospace engineering? Physics? Engineering in general? How would you design it? What parameters are needed to be taken into account?

Then why if you miss the location of the reflector does the laser not return as strong as hitting the "alleged " locations?
