The arguement there is that cameras have a rounded lens which will skew the earth to make it look round. It's honestly a reasonable arguement, but one that could be adjusted by with a few calculations utilizing the manufactures lens model number and figuring out how much it skews the image. In the end, there will still be an arc, just not as prominent.

You don't need any calculations to avoid the distortion. A lens bends the image only on the sides of the lens. Make sure you take the picture in the middle of the lens.

Very good point, good to know! I guess, that's not an excuse then.

Ahh, so you were speaking more on the grand scale rather when you said this.



However, what you said was still incorrect, as there is no evidence that the universe came from nothing or that black holes can destroy matter completely. In the end, the bonds between the sub atomic won't last leading to a breakdown of matter, however that does not mean that it simply ceases to be, as there is still energy and some particulates.

There is no evidence it didn't. People speculate what a black hole is but we've never gone thru one and rely on math and educated guess.

The term "nothing" is what we struggle with. For current theories to work, something had to always exist. Like spacetime for example. Why has spacetime always existed? How it came into existence? This is the stuff that will make your brain fry.

Honestly the greatest nail in flat earth to me is that none of their “scientists” have contributed anything meaningful to mankind where as real scientists have contributed to actual breakthroughs that we so easily take for granted.

Imagine if the world wasn't flat or spherical/ellipsoid, but shaped like a prolapse?

No i haven't been watching extreme anal porn.

Well, the big bang is a popular scientific theory on the origin of the universe. You can't completely verify and prove it (as any theory on cosmic origins), but there is some evidence and good reasoning behind it. I already mentioned the doppler effect of the universe as an example.

It isn't known what happens to an object within a blackhole, but odds are it doesn't simply cease to exist. There doesn't appear to be any mechanism that completely destroys matter from what we have observed. Many believe that something comically called "spaghettification" occurs, where an object is stretched and then compressed like a spaghetti noodle. I would imagine the object entering would be added to the mass of such an object, as the options of displacement or complete destruction seem to go against the current understanding of physics.

Has spacetime always existed? Is there a before the beginning, and not only that but always was? I personally think the universe is finite both in scope and time, there seems to be a causal nature to everything. I'd be interested to read any articles regarding this theory.

Wash your butthole really good in the shower with soap, and use a hairdryer to dry the area. Then, look at your butt in the vanity, and gently place a crest white stripe onto your anus. Only leave it there for approx 10-15 minutes, though. The more it burns, the better! That means its working!

I don't really have a horse in the race as I haven't ever paid attention to the flat earth theory, so I'm just posting here because I can

But I will say that it has been an interesting read and I think I might just throw my hat into the ring once I'm more informed.

That should be a title of a book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.

Like a Rubic Cube. The earthquakes are the pieces moving and it would explain the continental drift.
