The itinerant shrubber Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Not photoshopped. Composite images. A common method. The blue marble looks like a disk anyway so it would hardly be the best image to use to convince people the earth is round. The many images from iss show the curve.

The itinerant shrubber Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yeah... memes aren't really an argument. Tell you what get a mate in another part of the country and get both of you to put a stick of the same length in the ground, measure the shadow simotaneously and record the difference in length. The Greeks figured this out over 2k years ago. You need to keep up with scientific progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, friend, I don't think the mods want a debate thread in this sub-forum, but luckily for you, we are 72 pages in here: Back on topic, lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messenger Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 23 hours ago, bflat said: We don't know which hemisphere that hot air balloon photo was taken and besides that, the Coriolis effect may not affect a hot air balloon anyway, maybe making it spin counter clockwise in the air possibly. I would say, instead of getting your "education" from stupid meme's, why not call up a hot air balloon company located in South America or Australia and talk to the guys who fly the balloon? That might make too much sense though. As for gravity, the balloon rises thanks to the HOT AIR. How air is less dense than cold air. This is why drag racers will put ice packs on their intake manifolds in between runs, to cool down the engine so it can flow more air. More oxygen/air = more power. And like I said in the other post, a average hot air balloon, such as those pictured, doesn't travel high enough to see the Earth's curvature. The circumference of the Earth is is about 25,000 miles, the diameter about 7900 miles give or take depending on topography. That is also why the spirit level air bubble stays in the middle, because it cannot sense the Earth's curvature since it the bubble is so small in comparison. Wow. Whoever made that meme should not possess a drivers license or be working with any sort of machinery as they are a danger to themselves and to others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are government or aerospace industry agents who don't want people waking up to the secret space program that has been taking place for about six decades. Or they lack the mental capacity to see the bigger picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
