What Dr. deGrasse Tyson has to say feels very apropos for page 37 of this thread. Great interview but from my mark through 1:15:00 is very relevant.

Just kidding with ya, billy. I have really enjoyed reading this thread. Its been a hoot. Kinda odd that everyone who has posted in it is completely wrong though.
But as a Pyramid Earther I know the truth.

Are they planets or wondering stars? I am confused by conflicting posts.
I thought he stated they were sound waves in water, which is in the "dome" over the flat earth....or some such stupid shit.
That's the point goober, they threw all this BS out decades ago and they can't keep their stories straight and the pseudoscience coherent any more.
I said that was a plausible theory, and I even posted a video showing how it works. You're welcome.
I haven't actually read all 38 pages of this lunacy, but...
As an amateur astronomer, I can think of many empirical observations rejecting the flat earth hypothesis. Try these flatards:
1) Use your phone: At noon, call someone in India and ask him if the sun is up. He'll cuss you out and go back to bed. It's the middle of the night then in India. A flat earth would have simultaneous daytime and nighttime over the entire world with one sunrise and one sunset time. But sunrises and sunsets progress uniformly across the earth's surface in an east to west direction with a terminator shadow consistent with a rotating sphere illuminated by the distant sun. QED
2) Use a protractor: Go out at night and measure the angle the North Star makes with the horizon. Have someone in Miami make the same measurement. Your answers will be different: 38 degrees in Lexington, KY and 25 degrees in Miami, FL. This is a measurement of your latitude on the spherical surface of the earth, and the curvature can be calculated from the two angles and distance separating the cities. Flat earth geometry would give different results. What numbers did you get? QED
3) Use your camera: Go out at night and take a photo of the stars with the shutter open for about an hour. Your photo will reveal stars moving in arcs about a central point in the sky (north celestial pole). If the earth is flat, the flat earth and stars are rotating relative to each other around a point. Now travel to the Southern Hemisphere and take a similar photo. Oh My God! The stars are rotating in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION about a different point. You also see stars you can't see from the Northern hemisphere. The people living there, seeing different stars rotating oppositely in the sky, MUST be on the bottom side of the flat earth! Those crazy Australians are walking around upside down. Why don't they fall off? How could they ever get to our side? QED
NOTE: I apologize for taking this thread seriously when the intent is obviously humor.

Hmmm....maybe this was why when we had conference calls with some other folks in China we had to do it at night, and why one of our TS reps sounded so groggy and was like WTF?! when I called him in Australia at 1:00 PM EDT when I had a question that absolutely couldn't wait.

Ain't never done that....but I always figgered when I'm sitting in a chair on any given Florida Gulf Coast beach watching the sun go down in a blaze of glory, it wasn't really sinking into the Gulf waters, but just appearing to do so because of the curvature and rotation of the earth. It doesn't fade out to a mere pinpoint light, but slips down as a beautiful blazing ball. Reverse that if I'm sitting on any given Atlantic beach early in the AM.

I ain't got no camera that's worth a damn, but I've been to Brazil & Argentina. The night sky down there is really purty and different from the one we have here.

Can we please stop this thread and it's inane existence? It's so obvious that the world is round it's literally stupid to argue otherwise. Hey bushy, get on a plane and watch the earth be round, k? It's been known for centuries. Why would people literally die over this argument 300 years ago?
What is the basis and source of that picture of Earth? The deepest place on Earth is the Marianas Trench's Challenger Deep and is less than six miles under the surface. That chunk taken out next to Africa, would have to be less than that given that is not where the trench is located, and that would be Earth is about 60-70 miles across since that's about a 10% hunk of the planet gone.
#ThinkBeforePostingBullshit
It's an image representing the minor gravitational fluctuations due to local factors like rock density.
The flat earth argument folks literally can't do anything without it being a misrepresentation.
They landed in a crater, dipish!. You're seeing the rim of the crater.lol...
You've posted misrepresented facts, flawed math, a video where quotes were taken out of context and manipulated, just flat out lies, and tried making points using memes. Anyone who doesn't drool with watching a ceiling fan turn can figure out who is right in this debate. Please do the world a favor and stick your balls in a microwave so you cannot reproduce. Unless they are flat too, then shove them in a toaster.

but since I'm here --- the pick sounds are overly noticeable I know -- I'm very percussive with the pick hand AND the IPOD was too close to the hand I guess --- also, the amp wasn't up very loud......small tease of Black Sabbath's "Behind the Wall of Sleep" and Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine" in there .....
back to your regular program --- seriously sorry about that

Where did the 3 mile reference come from?
In my training and experience 15 miles is a good starting point for the horizon. Of course the hieght of the observer can extend this.
Just found 3 miles curious.
Edit to add. I found three miles as a person standing on the ground.
It extends out based on height. So the reference I had could be from the deck or mast of a ship.
I think the intent of the OP is to accentuate the current lack of critical thinking and reasoning prevalent on the Internet today giving credence to ridiculous claims. Moon landing deniers, flat earthers, CIA killed JFK, 911 government conspiracy, Fake News, Fake Science, etc. If that is the point of this thread it has succeeded brilliantly.
