Flat Earth Theory / Re: The ultimate proof that the Earth is ROUND...

One of the effects of mass is that it attracts other mass. For small objects, like your computer, your car, and even a building, the force of gravity is tiny. But when you have millions, and even trillions of tonnes of mass, the effect of the gravity really builds up. All of the mass pulls on all the other mass, and it tries to create the most efficient shape… a sphere.

How can I verify this myself?

Try the Cavendish Experiment. The modern versions of it are not to difficult but you need a bit of equipment.

Weird he needs a million dollars... Could surely send one balloon up for what, under $2000? Hope he remembers to fit a clear plastic sheet in front of the camera, with grid lines, so that they can't blame magical "fish eye lenses".

Based on the coast of Red Bull Stratos he could could go up their himself for only 30m US Dollar. No blaming the fish eye lenses...

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Question from a physicist

I am correct and your post is completely an hoax. You are already an anti flat earth fascist. You have none of reliablity.

You posted an argument and someone posted a counter argument, instead of addressing the counter argument you resorted to ad hominem attacks and you think that this supports your argument?

I see this thread followed the usual "story arc" on here,
Some wild, baseless FE assertions with no evidence provided
Some explanations from RE
FE claiming there is no evidence for those explanations
RE posting some actual experiments demonstrating the explanations
FE either calling them fake or, in this instance, willfully misunderstanding them.
RE explaining them more clearly.
End of thread. No further rebuttals by FE or any conceding of ground by FE.
Rinse and repeat.

This is another experiment which can be easily repeated, if FE is about empiricism then why not have a go?

Is this not always the case? I am reading forum like this on and off for a while now and this pattern is staggeringly obvious.
