Title: Zero witnesses
Post by: Sputnik on April 22, 2016, 06:47:22 PM
Zero eye witness accounts of flatness, yet countless eye witness accounts of roundness.

Why does this disparity exist?

inb4: "Look out your window"

Its a rhetorical question.

Anyway, out my window I see a horizon. A horizon proves roundness.

Is it possible to limit how many threads someone can make per week?

I've seen the flatness. Whether from a tall building or an airplane, it is flat as can be. Try again.

And I've seen the roundness from pictures of the earth from space.  I can also infer the roundness because gravity is the only explanation for how satellites move.  Buildings and airplanes are not nearly high enough, but heroin will get you close  ;)

I have seen evidence of the roundness from the old "ships passing beyond the horizon" and the design of the heights of radar antennas and crow's nests  to "see" the farthest distance.....All because of the curvature of the earth because the earth is the globe that it is.

And the only evidence that I have seen for a flat earth is from someone in Kansas looking out hiis window and thinking that the earth was flat was because that was all that he could see from his window........But I have known some people in the Navy from Kansas who have had the good fortune to have had some Sea Duty and know otherwise.

I'm from Kansas myself.  Good for dust devils out west, not good for estimating curvature.
