What appears to be a sphere to the Mark 1 eyeball is technically not a mathematical sphere. Since the actual shape of the Earth is important to things like GPS scientists need to be very precise with how they record the actual shape of the Earth, and it is technically an oblate spheroid. We know this because GPS works, and no actual scientist has ever tried to deny that the Earth is roughly spherical. From the ancient Greeks, the first men to sail around the world, the Americans, the Soviets, the Chinese none of them say the Earth is anything other than a roughly spherical object.

>>717081701
It's a total asspull. The curvature is not related to just the length of the bridge, it's related to the circumference of the earth which is about 24k miles. This would mean that if it were a contiguous piece it would have to be slightly curved.

But nobody builds 100 mile bridges out of a single piece.

But then again you're getting trolled by even being in this thread

>>717080349

How would the GPS satellites stay in the "air"? With a round Earth following an orbit around a central massive star the satellites would just orbit the Earth.

Since a Flat Earth would present impossibilities in the face of gravity (people on the outside edge of the Earth, like those in Australia would he pulled toward the center of gravity. Everything in Australia would have to be built at a nearly 90 angle perpendicular to the surface so it wouldnt be pulled toward the center) then gravity can't exist on a flat Earth. The argument I've heard is that the Earth is being pushed up and accelerating constantly at 9.8 meters per second per second. But this would make an orbiting body impossible.

Thus the GPS emission devices would have to be suspended above the Earth, or be on towers or something. However, there are many problems with this. The USA, the Soviets (now Russia) and China all have their own GPS systems in operation. None of these nations with vastly different ideologies have ever hinted that they aren't using orbiting satellites. Every GPS enabled device from Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, from Apple to Samsung, Microsoft to Motorola is programmed to operate under the assumption that GPS satellites really are 34,000 miles overhead. Almost every advanced piece of communications hardware used by every commercial and military entity "pulls" timing from GPS satellites. Of the satellites WERENT 34,000 miles overhead communications wouldn't work right, but it does.

No engineer or scientist who makes these things has ever come out and said "it's all a lie! I have proof! GPS comes from blimps!" Or some shit. The lizard people really have control over every engineer who has ever worked with comms equipment?

>>717089012
Its where you take a spherical shaped object and drop it. Kinda self explanitory

>>717079671
The polar and equatorial diameters are not equal. They are very close, which is why the Earth appears to be a sphere, but it is not a perfect sphere.

Now that I've answered your question, I will ask a question in turn, it is only fair. Why is it currently daytime in the US, and nighttime in Russia?

If the world was a disc, we'd either always see the sun, even if it was providing less light in the distance, unless it actually sets below the rim of the disc, which would cause it to be night across the entire world at once, which we can easily prove does not happen.

>>717089012
A bullshit word that just means that you take the tangent of the beginning of the bridge, extend it to the end of the bridge, and then measure the difference in altitude between the two

>>717089602
Everyone knows that if scientists change even tiny details it means that science doesn't work because it's never right

>>717089605
But there would be no difference in altitude because both ends are roughly the same height above sea level.

>>717090067
How about looking at it this way, if you place a level laser at the beginning of the bridge, and measure it's altitude as it passes over the end of the bridge. There will be a difference between the two, because the earth is curved and it's not massive enough to significantly curve the path of the photons

>>717089743
are you being facetious, or do you actually believe this

>>717090386
No because the earth is flat there is no curvature faggot

>>717090386
There's millions of tiny particles in the air that distort the light.

>>717089743
'Science' is quite often wrong at any given time because the ones doing the science are arrogant, conceited and ignorant morons. Science never works with assholes bearing those traits at the helm.

>>717090613
So the diameter of the beam will be larger at the end than the beginning, and maybe a few inches off target

>>717090571
Then go test it and prove all us round earthers wrong

>>717090431
Facetious

>>717090386
Clearly, but you can't measure altitude accurately over a long distance using a laser level. Long bridges are built with the Earth's curvature in mind. The two ends are going to be very close to the same altitude, since they're both just barely above sea level.

My dad seriously believes the flat earth theory, and a whole bunch of other conspiracy theories as well

>>717090692
And the people that say scientists are wrong must all be virtuous, kind, and selfless intellectuals

>>717090871
That's what I was saying. The laser will be higher than the end of the bridge because the bridge follows the curvature but the laser doesn't

>>717080769
Im not even sure what you are claiming in that pic

You do realize that when NASA says that the Earth is these shapes, that they are very subtly these shapes, right? The Earth would still more or less look spherical with only a subtle oblate spheroid shape. Changing their story doesn't mean shit either, because that's how science works.

>>717079671
and scientific illiteracy reigns...

the diameter of the earth pole to pole is 12,720 km

the diameter of the earth around the equator is 12,756 km.

a difference of 36km,

to an observer, if you were to shrink the earth down to a 1m ball, the difference between pole to pole, and across the equator would be about 0.4mm - roughly the thickness of a sheet of thin cardboard.

if you shrink the earth down to the size of a photo on a 28" monitor, that difference is now about 0.15mm.
or to put it another way. its about the size of a fullstop.

.

that big.
if you can claim to see a difference of " . " that, in a photo, then you're a fucking liar.

Scientifically, it is an oblate spheroid. Practically, the difference is so small that you cannot measure it without equipment.

Now fuck off with your idiotic "flat earth" bullshit.

you do know that on planet earth, as opposed to your imagination, people have been making maps for, oh, about the last 1,500 years, and globes for about 600?

so why do you imagine "the government" is the same as then?

do you think that "the government" of france is the same before, during and after their Revolution? Or that "the government" of the US is the same group before and after the declaration of Independence?

The world has been known to be round since about 200 BC. Yet not once, in 2,200 years has any "government" - even in times of total anarchy, like collapses of empires, plagues, revolutions, etc, ever spoken up and said "hang on, the old regime were liars. the real world shape is..."
