superemmy: You might be right but most technological advancements have come by stimulation of creativity and inspiration from Hollywood movies and scifi novels.
OlympianZeus: Except your talking about our molecular structure (body) Ability to withstand different types of radiation we don't know about yet. But space travel is possible and it will happen maybe a 100-1000 years but humans will achieve it. That's if we've not finished ourselves with nuclear weapons sha
We can travel from one planet to another but not into deep deep space.
Rossikki: What he's saying is not even valid, because you are covered by a steel encasing and soundproof materials etc when you are in a train, and it shields you from the elemental friction outside. But on earth, there is no cover. If we are indeed on a spinning globe that's whizzing around at the speed of 67,000 miles per hour as claimed by mainstream science, we should feel something.
No matter the shielding you cannot emulate vacuum or space where there is no friction.
AngelSweetLips: It sounds like a joke... so why feed us this photoshoped image of earth?
The image of the Earth is not photoshopped image.This is what NASA said concerning the quality of the image
...This color image of Earth was taken by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope. The image was generated by combining three separate images to create a photographic-quality image. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters -- from ultraviolet to near infrared -- to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used in these color images.
There are no planets out there because they still haven't left the earth's atmosphere!...
There are billion billion planets in the universe. Of course we've left the earths atmosphere many times and we've also sent probes to study other planets and the solar system. NASA sent Galileo to Jupiter(it was crushed by Jupiter atmosphere after traveling less than 200km in it),voyager 1&2 to study the solar system, etc...
I would advice you to listen to the theory and see for yourself where they're going with this because the blue marble is less than 50 yrs old while the flat earth goes but through civilisations. We are the ones changing an understood norm without SOLID evidence. It's all theories and hypothesis.
I didn't wake up one day and accept the "blue marble" theory I was convinced by the large amount of evidence available.
We've used the blue mable theory to 1. Calculate Time 2. Launch satellites and spacecrafts 3. Navigate around it etc ,successfully. Now the question is, the flat earth theorists should predict one thing with their theory and let see it outcome. I know it will fail
AngelSweetLips: I can all though I could feel the motion. If I look outside the window I could see the motion.Also I would be stationery as in my body moves with train. Even express trains here in the UK which are so fast yet the ride is smoother one can feel the movement all your senses are in tone with the motion.
(I can't see the comparison thou because my not travelling in earth lol)
One of the reasons why you feel the motion of the train is the presence of friction between the train and its surrounding. In space or vacuum, there is zero friction and therefore anything you set in motion in space continue to move until it is stopped or accelerated by a force.so, the presence of friction makes you feel you are in motion. If we can create a machine that has zero coefficient of friction then when you travel in this machine you can never feel you are in motion.
About you seeing motion when you're in the train.Same thing happens on Earth but it difficult to notice the motion though you can with the aid of a camera. Please watch the video below.
The video depicts Stars moving on the night sky (time-lapse).
Rossikki: Replace the ''it doesn't make sense'' bit with ''I just can't get myself to accept something different from what I have known all my life, no matter the evidence shown''.
AngelSweetLips: Help me understand why there is no evidence of the spherical earth. The blue marble model is computer generated image so with all the satellites up there how come we need to relay on this photoshoped version of the spherical earth image. And if in fact earth is rotating then why haven't we seen the image live?
To take a photo of the entire planet, you need to be pretty far away from Earth. That costs hundreds millions of dollars to send a probe that far away and is essentially worthless for science (since you can't get much data from of the Earth that far away).
The satellites that are used to study the Earth itself have a much lower orbit to focus on specific parts of the surface... and the satellites that are as far as the Apollo are generally sent out to explore other planets.
What about magnetic decay. The earth magnetic field is the reason why you and I are alive today.
solar winds is a streams of electrically charged particles that flow from the sun
This magnetic field Shields us from this deadly solar wind .Now the problem is, this magnetic field is decaying and it will reach a certain stage where it will no longer be able to shield the planet from the deadly radiation from the sun. When this happens the atmosphere and the ocean and life boils away making earth a dry rocky planet just like planet Mars.
This is why commercial planes don't fly across Antarctica.
The reason that it's too dangerous because of radiation, this happens at the north pole too. arauras happen near the poles as a result of Earth's magnetic field interacting with alpha particles from the sun, and those interactions can cause radiation. You can fly over safely, but flying there regularly can be hazardous to your health and that's why commercial airplanes don't go there.
AngelSweetLips: You didn't really contribute anything to debunk the op just insults. Leave the thread alone if you can't explain.
I watched this with an open mind and I don't trust nasa, America at all. At the same time I don't fear or follow illuminate conspiracy theories of world domination however I dislike creationists theory too because they're both two sides of the same coin ( jesus and anti jesus). But unlike you I try before stating how I feel about something.
Insults? When and how did I insult anyone.
I have contributed and he knows.
I don't have to watch any dumb video. It doesn't just make any sense to say the earth is flat and gravity doesn't exist and over 40 countries are guarding the ice that protect the ocean from falling down the edges of the earth and also hide the secrets from being revealed to people.
Rossikki: It IS flying flat. The plane's gyroscopes are always level. Look it up. I notice you are still dodging the Cape Town -Sidney debacle. How long will you run from it?
I'm not running from anything. I don't have time for it cus I know it's still a conspiracy theory.
''In the Flat-Earth model, the South Pole does not exist at all and Antarctica is instead a gigantic ice-wall extending the circumference of Earth holding in the oceans like a giant bowl, or a “world cup.” As strange as this concept may sound at first, it is a fact that if you set a bearing due South from anywhere on Earth, inevitably at or before 78 degrees Southern latitude, you will find yourself face-to-face with an enormous ice-wall towering 100-200 feet in the air extending to the East and West the entire circumference of the world!''
“It has been demonstrated that the earth is a plane, the surface-centre of which is immediately underneath the star called ‘Polaris,’ and the extremities of which are bounded by a vast region of ice and water and irregular masses of land. The whole terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs are almost constant.”
-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!”
These are countries in relative proximity to the edge, led by the most powerful nations like the US, Russia, and China.
One reason that seems to be gaining ground is that the 'universe' could be much smaller than we imagine, comprising merely Earth, the sun, moon, stars, and 'Heaven' above in which God dwells. The whole NASA, planets, galaxies, solar systems stuff, with its big bang theories that explain Earth's random appearance appears to be a scam designed to divert us from the ....truth.
Rossikki: ''If Earth were really a ball, there would be no reason to use rockets for flying into “outer-space” anyway because simply flying an airplane straight at any altitude for long enough should and would send you off into outer-space. To prevent their airplanes from flying tangent to the ball-Earth, pilots would have to constantly course-correct downwards, or else within just a few hours the average commercial airliner traveling 500mph would find themselves lost in “outer-space.” The fact that this never happens, artificial horizons remain level at pilot’s desired altitudes and do NOT require constant downwards adjustments, proves the Earth is not a ball.''
