If Earth really is round, how come the penguins in Antarctica

When you are in a car and you witness another car driving at the same speed as you, it can be perceived that both of you are stationary and the environment is the one that is moving.

Understand that concept first.

Penguins are birds. They use their wings to keep themselves down. We call them "flightless" birds to cover the conspiracy.

Because the universe is spinning with us, so we're relatively stationary.

The whole flat earth thing started as a joke to poke fun of how stupid people can be. Yet I'm starting to think there are people who believe it's 100% legit and true. Are the vast majority of people out there stupid enough to believe anything they're told? I mean, I know they're trained to be this way because it's literally how our education system works. They're told in school what to think and believe and believe it. It only makes sense that they'd keep it up and long into adulthood and believe complete nonsense that's meant to be a joke but come on.

Do we need to redefine how our education system works to eliminate this side effect of people who just believe what ever they're told? How would we rework the education system?

Wait a minute... you FEs tell us that when we see Earth's curvature from an airplane, that it's because the windows warp at high altitude to make the horizon looked curved (and explains why buildings, etc. look straight when on the runways).

You're lying at *least* once.

>(((sattelites)))
Wait, so sattelites are actually living Jews orbiting the earth?
I have to report this to /r/RedPill!

If the Earth was flat and the Sun hovered above it and moved in a great circle around the N pole, you would see a difference from reality in motion most marked at times of rise and set. Place yourself on the equator during the equinox. At rise, the Sun would appear somehow and from north of the equator (left), with slow movement (foreshortened) to the south (right, as it follows its circular path). Its horizontal motion diminshes over the course of the morning as its direction loses an X-component. As it reaches overhead (Noon) it would be moving most quickly and almost straight east-west. After Noon it would appear to slow down and begin its drift right (north), and farther along it loses the vertical movement (yet never set) while gaining the drift to the right and magically disappearing.

That of course, is not what we see at the equator at an equinox. The Sun rises due east, transits straight up, and sets due west all at a constant angular speed all along its path, which is apparently straight up, over, and down, because in this geometry you (not a distant pole) are at the center of a circle it appears to trace.

Also, a close-proximity Sun would increase in brightness from invisible at "rise" to its brightest at Noon and back again to invisible at "set" in the course of one day. The graph of the intensity of the received light would vary by the square of the distance of the Sun. This means the increase/decrease in brightness would vary most radically around Noon. Again, we don't see that. We see the Sun remain more or less constant in brightness during the day, with a good accounting (and weather-dependent) for its dimming when near the horizon due to atmospheric opacity.

>>8588406
Furthermore, if you are *anywhere* south of the path of Sun on a flat Earth, then you would see the Sun appear from the NE, head towards a spot above but always north of you, then move away again to the NW. In fact, between latitudes 23°S and the equator between Sept-Dec-Mar, you can watch the Sun rise in the SE, move up over your head and depending on the time of year and your latitude, see the Sun south of you at Noon, and then set in the SW. This means the Sun is moving around a pole that is above the southern horizon. A Sun moving around a disk will not behave like it has two poles to orbit.

Lastly, if it were a "close" Sun and Moon passing overhead, there would be an obvious change in the apparent sizes of the objects as they approach, pass overhead, and head off again. Again, this is not what we see. The Sun and Moon stay the same angular size throughout their pass. You can experiment and prove this by taking photos of them during rise, then again five or six hours later when they are at their highest.

>>8587647
Constellations have not significantly changed within the history of humans. You're referring to the precession of the equinoxes, caused by a rotation of the Earth's spin axis around the north ecliptic pole over a 26,000 year period. This causes the apparent drift of the seasons when the Sun reaches the same location among the stars. And yes, that is now about a month off, because astrological signs were defined 2,000 years ago with no accounting for precesson.

>>8586904
>>Daylit Earth is visible
>>Stars
>Go outside during the day and look at the sky you twit.

You're both wrong.

If the Earth had no atmosphere, your eyes would see stars during the day, as do 'nauts in space. It is the atmosphere which is brighter than the stars that obscures them.

The FE idiot doesn't understand that in casual photography, dynamic range does not yet allow for an exposure set for the brightness of a sunlit Earth to pick up the dim points of light of stars. If stars were showing in that image, it would be a sure sign of editing.

200 PROOFS THE EARTH IS NOT A SPINNING BALL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5i_iDyUTCg

Here's the deal: there are two types of Flat Earthers: trolls, and literal Bible interpreters. Somewhat surprisingly, we usually encounter the latter on 4Chan, and they post almost every day. They have the freedom to make shit up (lie) because truth and understanding are not their goals, and they end the arguments with "prove me wrong." This subtlety places the onus on you to spend your precious life's time to provide information already available that they won't consider. By disavowing any science or proofs put forward and continuing to make shit up, they "win" by eroding your patience. It is simply impossible to keep up with having to explain away the barrage of the violations of the most basic principles of geometry, math, science, and logic. They aren't interested in critical thinking or putting in the requisite effort to do the science. They regularly refuse to respond when they can't fabricate anything that would pass even their own red-faced test. They are blind to 3D visualization. They concentrate on believing
what their leaders tell them, and will not allow any sense to mar their fractured perception of the universe. They believe they are right, and they want you to become as stupid as they. There is simply no arguing. Like trying to paint over mud, you just end up with a dirty brush.

I don't recall saying anything about Christianity.
In fact during the space race of the '60s and '70s, virtually everyone was Christian. Devoutly. Buzz Aldrin was allowed to bring a little holy water and a tiny chalice to bless the landing.

It's you idiots who believe the Earth is flat that are the problem. I don't care what religion you are.

But again you go and misread, because you saw what you wanted to, not what was said.

bet you dont have a flat earther with actual sources from science.
From the USGS, that is the United States Geological Survey, CMG InfoBank: Causes of Earthquakes:
"Radioactive decay generates the heat, energy, which ultimately powers movements of Earth's rocky tectonic plates.
The friction between the rough edges of these slowly moving segments of the Earth's lithosphere results in a series of jerky starts and stops, which is the direct cause of most major earthquakes.
The same heat engine that produces earthquakes is the driving force raising the world's great mountain ranges.
If this uplift did not take place, the relentless force of erosion would reduce the Earth's landscape to a single flat plane.
Without the present range of elevations, rivers would lose their principal sources of water.
The land would ultimately erode down to tide level, and most of the diversity in the world's flora and fauna would disappear.
And yet, while there are indirect benefits to living in a world with earthquakes, it's the capacity of tremors to violently disrupt human activity that commands our attention."

Let me green text that for you

Did you never learn about how to read according to context?

prepare for an absolute wreck.

Plane surveying assumes the earth is flat. Curvature and spheroidal shape of the earth is neglected. In this type of surveying all triangles formed by joining survey lines are considered as plane triangles.
Survey works up to 100 square miles (260 square kilometers ) are treated as plane

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveying

>>8593821
>In geodetic surveying the curvature of the earth is taken into account while calculating reduced levels, angles, bearings and distances. This type of surveying is usually employed for large survey works. Survey works up to 100 square miles (260 square kilometers ) are treated as plane and beyond that are treated as geodetic.[15] In geodetic surveying necessary corrections are applied to reduced levels, bearings and other observations.[16]

>>8593828

Interesting question. It's rather hard to tell just by eye as you would need to go really high before you could see a noticeable difference but even if it's not immediately evident to the naked eye you should be able measure if it remain level or not.

Guys I think that the shape of the Earth as well as the whole concept of matter and space - both in terms of space and cosmos - should be thought of less as things in and of themselves that don't change when we look away and more as modes of thinking that we employ, and that we could potentially stop employing. The flat Earth described in the Bible as part of a parable emphasizing the importance of subject over object, noumena over phenomena. And the round Earth described in Materialist delirium emphasizing the opposite.

You cant feel speed you can only feel acceleration,.

I think we should stop listening to retards who would get us killed at sea because they wouldn't know how to use a sextant.

Lol. You DO feel it, retard, since rotation is acceleration (change in velocity vector). You literally weigh ever so slightly less at the equator than you do at the poles.

>They're told in school what to think and believe and believe it

When I was in school we learned about the scientific method and we had labs where we performed experiments and made observations. We reproduced Erasthothenes measurement of the circumference, for example.

The people who claim schools tell you what to think and believe seem to me to be the sorts that never paid attention in school.

I always was taught that the earth was banana shaped...

Are you declaring that flat earth is an antisemitic movement?

>We reproduced Erasthothenes measurement of the circumference,

Most people didn't do that in school. But the problem goes beyond Flat Earthers. We're entering an era where all information is presented in digital format, which can be easily edited and changed. People can't test everything themselves. At some point there needs to be some trust that the information presented is accurate, without them having to test every single thing. With no way to trust if info is accurate, people often turn to gut instinct to determine what is true, which leads to cherry picking and confirmation bias news stories. We see this today in 2016 election, people would believe insane news stories that are false.

The problem stems from the internet, in that there's too much information, no way to check it all, so people loose trust in ALL information, and trust what ever "feels" true. As the internet grows larger, this problem will get worse. The more commonplace the internet becomes, the stupider it'll make people. The internet, could undo mankind.

if gravity was real we'd know about it, but when we look to the bibble there's nothing there, the idea that the oceans just stay on the side of the world and dont fall down is so ridiculous you would think scientists would be embarrassed to even say it out loud

Not that the rotation or anything else (science-religious or god-religious both) are proven. However, if it be... Perhaps the gravity pull is greater than the centrifugal force. This would tend to straighten us out vertically. Of course, if everything, everyone and every perception were slightly tilted, no one would notice that all of us walked on a tilt.

And if everyone floated around or floated out to space, then it's unlikely even protozoa would have evolved, so we wouldn't be here discussing what "seems should be" based on a "theory" that is "unproveable." More likely we're a matched set: earth and people.

Science- and logic-wannabe's, and professor professing people, are as arrogant as religious fanatics in that they're both "certain" of their rightness, righteousness.
