Yes, but the cool thing about it is that legitimate scientists are considering extraterrestrials as a possibility, which is usually a last resort. It still probably isn't Aliens, but it's an exciting situation nonetheless.Legitmate? They are playwrights of bad drama.
You're grasping at straws.No, I am not.
but aren't hypothticals an important piece to science?No. I can not see how your "hypothetical" is of any benefit to mankind other than to monger unnecessary fear.
Erm....You cannot see the sun when it's on the opposite side of the disk because air is not transparent. Over a distance the light from the sun diffuses.Erm......
Not really.
I mean yeah, but you're talking about some significant distances here.No, your are NOT talking about any significant distances required to obfuscate the sun.
The human eye is capable of seeing a single ........ cloud TOTALLY block the light of the sun. That is all men need for proof.
Fair enough.Go print a T-shirt that says: "I spend Xhours a day debating with flat earthers" and wear it among your peers. Then come back and talk.If not doing that means you won't talk to me anymore, then don't count on any new additions to my wardrobe any time soon since you've proven time and again that you have nothing but insults and negativity to contribute to a conversation.
Do you even know how to contribute to a discussion? Try evidence and reason. Denialism does nothing except make you look like an idiot.Try telling all of your friends, foes and family: "I spend Xhours a day debating with flat earthers on the internet!" Then, come back and we can talk about who looks like an idiot.
No need to take offense.For the life of me, I can not imagine why a sane person would commit as much effort as you have into discussing "science" that is more-than-obviously above your head.Rookie move, insulting the intelligence of someone who challenges you.
Even if I don't learn about the subject itself, I learn about the people around me.The same goes with us. You people are interesting, to say the least.
Let's say that the science you're citing holds water. I cannot debate any of that, as I am not well versed in science. I was a history teacher- which is where my question derives from.You are a history teacher and you can not understand how an entire populace can be deceived?
Is that some kind of joke???What happens if global climate change kicks into high gear, or at the very least continues at its current rate and all that ice melts?That is a ridiculous hypothetical.
Observable science is seeing massive chunks of ice being broken off and melting at an alarming rate.No, "observable science" is not seeing massive chunks of ice blah blah blah. What is "observable science" anyways? You are employing a rhetorical mind-trick to hypnotize your reader. Stop it.
What happens when part of the ice wall becomes thin enough to be breached by the weight of entire oceans behind it?Nothig happens. It is so cold over there that the fluid matter is frozen.
Alternative question for those of you who might be quick to dismiss global climate change as a hoax:Who are you trying to kid?
Hypothesize what would happen if the wall were not there to begin with, or what would happen if we artificially removed a chunk of it.If the wall were not there to begin with we would be flattened and frozen. No life would exist.
I realize that I'm going to be either ignored as a looney toon, or called horrible names and insulted by someone with bunchy underpants, but aren't hypothticals an important piece to science?What is in it for you?
I still see no deceit,but there is more! That clip says "EARTH'S ROTATION" too!!
Of course we are all liars and shills any way.Of course but you serve your purpose.
Which deceit are you referring to?I already said: at time 0:18seconds. What do you see at that time??!??
The shape of the Earth and it's orbit around the sun are proven because this model exactly predicts .......... great!!!!
I have taken a lot of pictures and .......... look where THAT got you. You are stuck here trying to convince flat-earthers that we live on a great big blue marble.
For those who like knowing truth and seeing proof, just research sphere reflections and highlights. There are a plethora of articles on the subject. Highlights on a sphere go according to set laws that can not be broken... except for, incidentally and conveniently, in the ball earth model.I wish to add that folks should learn up about Poisson's Spot as well.
Poisson reasoned that if light really was a wave, then when a light was turned on a perfectly spherical object, the light waves would bend around the sides of that object. The perfect symmetry of a sphere meant that all the light waves would meet in the exact center of the shadow behind it. There, people would be able to see a bright spot of light.
Frankly I think that the ocean is a better example because it is mutually agreed that water tends to be level.Now you are just making stuff up on the fly! You guys need flow-charts or cookbooks or something.
By that logic: The end of all train tracks and roads must also be "very very" close.No!! Are you blind?
