Why the Earth is a globe

[TheConsultant]

Because the compass follows the magnetic field, not a singular point, at the centre of magnetism is ZERO magnetism. At the centre is a plane of inertia as seen underneath a film magnetic field viewer - also and this bit is important, take your phone and use its compass app, you can use the compass successfully and accurately until you tilt the phone over 90degrees (in relation to the floor) as soon as you go over 90 degrees it flips to the other pole. Try it, the compass doesn't need to be flat. 

A magnetic field has an "in" and an "out" that cannot occur on a flat earth. South is 360 degrees according to that video as north is always at the centre of their imaginary flat disc

Two magnets on a ferrocell:

Notice how in between the two "like" poles there is a darker point in between where the two respective magnetic fields overlap, once flipped to be different poles the opposite fields align (darker spot disappears) one shows "magnetic attraction" and the other shows "magnetic repulsion". Almost as if magnetic behaviour is field theory isn't it? and as such is pressure mediation between force and motion and inertia and acceleration.  

Edit (of course he has a video on it)

Standing wave in sound:

Something light enough will float in the field rest point, i.e. a null.

Looking at stars in the north appear higher  in the sky as travel north

and southern stars rise higher in sky as travel south

I was watching telly this morning when a programme about Werner Von Braun came on.

It included footage from the cameras when he sent the very first rocket into space in 1942.

Clue: it's round!

You should know by now what my definition of space is. The stars, the moon & the sun reside in the firmament and turn in motion above the stationary earth.

 

But that literally makes no sense at all and every person with a telescope can prove that completely wrong. You can point your telescope at Jupiter and see it spinning over a few hours and you can watch it closely and see its Moons orbiting around it.

 

You can view the night sky with a time lapse camera and watch the Northern hemisphere starfield rotating in the opposite direction to the Sothern hemisphere. You see it moving in a straight line at the equator. Here is a fisheye lens on the equator:

 

 

That just cannot work on a flat surface, plus the visibility of stars only in each hemisphere. Surely anyone can see how messed up that is?

I would answer you but in the right thread. You have taken what I said out from the flat earth thread & placed it here.

@sickofallthebollocksIt's a bit frustrating not being able to reapond to things in the flat Earth thread. You posted an Eric Dubay video about the motion of the Moon around the Earth. Firstly this guy is on record many times saying derogatory things about David Icke and IMO he should not be receiving publicity for his money making ventures from this site. He is a snake-oil salesman who makes endless, crazy videos with no scientific credulity to fool people into parting with their cash or to generate advertising revenue.

 

Just fyi, the way the Moon goes around the Earth misses one very vital point he failed to demonstrate, understand or cater for. The Moon as well as being in Earth orbit is also in a perturbed orbital path around the Sun carrying the same speed as the Earth. His figures seem to think the Moon is independent of the gravity pull from the Sun. That is false. Does it not concern yoiu that every instance where I have chosen to respoond to one of your numerous meme's that I have in every case shown it to be wrong? Can you see a pattern?

lve found lots of articles about the 1942 v2  launch - but l cant find any video - any idea where it could be found ?

Why the Earth is a globe?
The fact a sphere as a geometry follows the conservation of energy and paulis exclusion principle as all "matter" wishes to be at its lowest energy state, i.e. in equilibrium with surrounding "forces". Which is why we see spherical water blobs when they are in a state of equilibrium in between standing waves. 
 

Pressure mediation of interacting 'fields', in this case, sound.

I had previously replied to this part so apologies for my reply and quoting you not making sense above. (My post was edited and I am finding out who by and why shortly)

As for this, a forum:


How are you supposed to exchange ideas and have discussion if you have to have separate threads? A tactic politicians do, do not engage in a conversation you are unable to win, or gain from.

To stress, one of the major claims made to negate this clear view of the Earth curvature is where briefly the edge passes across the convex camera lens where its light path briefly straightens the visible curve. This is a pretty deceptive claim in itself but can easily be disproven from what else we see. Quite obviously the camera spins around and we see a massive circular disc as it comes back on itself.

 

There is no geometric shape where a straight line creates a disc. There is no valid explanation for how we only see such a small disc and not the full Earth. There are litrerally hundreds of balloon experiments showing the curvature and a full 360 rotation showing this disc. I cannot fathom how anyone can not understand how this completely closes the case.

@endfreemasonscumIf you are going to post my video on the other thread, you should at least post the verry obvious observation that shows YOUR observation to be erroneous. The camera spins round on itself, what shape do you think that is going to make?  Explain to everyone why you chose to ignore that.

[TheConsultant]

This is a nice clear shot.

It certainly is and like most of them, we see the camera doing a 360 degree turn.

 

We are not getting any answers to this because there IS no answer that works for the flat earth claim. Once again, they claim that in certain positions (when the convex lens straightens the curve) we see the horizon is straight. This is correct, it does distort straight. But!

 

The camera sees a big circle and there is no straight line that can make a circle. Failure to see or understand this, is cause for suspicion on the motives of those who do so.

 

 

[Arnie]

Here is the explanation for what force makes the Sun and Moon "hover" about on the flat earth - zero

Here is the explanation fully and accurately explained of how the seasons/day/night/sunsets/sunrise/moonsets/moonrise work - zero

 

How ridiculous is this, it's just barmy

 @hardtruthspittaIn regards to that video in the flat earth thread, it was taken from my post, without the accompanying text. Can you see why? Have a look 2 posts above at the animated gif and ask yourself why flat-earthers never address this.
