That would be like standing upside down.

The Earth is flat! I insist!!

johnydon22:
Exactly. Not surprising that you didn't get that little hilarious analogy.

Your argument seemed to be hinged on to the fact that you or I can't feel the curvature of the earth hence it isn't spherical.

And I used a microscopic organism on a basketball unable to feel the Ball's curvature as the perfect mirror.

I believe you should be getting it. As you said "A sphere remains a sphere, no matter what's on it (whether they are large enough to feel the curvature or not)

Quite possible but less likely.

More likely however, is that you don't.

Because the distance of a horizone is hundreds of kilometers away, far enough for a slight curvature to be observable.

Human size however is what? A hundred and few centimeters tall? About twenty wide? Humans are no bigger than a very tiny microscopic organism in comparison to the size of the earth.

We are like a tardigrade on a basketball (Likely even smaller in comaprison to the earth)

So, how can something so small, feel the curvature on something so big?

I must say that I like the way you think, I love it when people question things without just swallowing them hook line and sinker. Keep it up.

First, in space, there is no such a thing as Up or Down. Your sense of up or down is from your localized gravitational point which is the earth's gravity.

A sphere is symmetrical in every way. Gravity pulls towards the center of the earth not all the way to the other side.

The actual down within a gravitational field is the center of the attraction, in this case the center of the earth not the other side.

So, people in Australia have just as much right to call themselves "up" as people in the Northern Hemisphere do!

But more to the point, the force that keeps everything on the Earth from falling off it is gravity: it's the pull exerted by one object on another because of its mass. For objects like the Earth, the force exerted by the Earth's mass pulls objects in the direction of the Earth's centre. This means that wherever you are on the Earth, the force is always "down" into the ground. That's what keeps everything on Earth "right-side up", even those in Australia!

Up and Down are all a local perspective. For a person in the northern hemisphere, the zenith position in the southern hemisphere seems to be "down". But for a person in the southern hemisphere, zenith is what he/she will call "up". Gravity is always aligned towards the center of the Earth, and so the direction perpendicular to the surface of Earth (at any location on Earth) is what will be referred to as "up" (locally). Hence, everywhere on Earth, a person is still walking "normally" straight up. An analogy is to refer to directions using "right" and "left. Depending on what cardinal direction you are facing, the terms "right" and "left" will differ. What is "right" to one person will be "left" for another (if he were facing the opposite direction). Thus, "right" and "left" are not absolute; they are relative. In the same way, "up" and "down" are also relative and not absolute. Up to a person in the north pole is different from what it means to a person in the equator or in the south pole.

you seem not to even understand what you believe. According to mainstream science the curvature of the earth can be seen when ships sail off the sea, first the back end of the boat will disappear then followed by the mast and then the entire boat will disappear. You don't need to fly up to see the curvature. Again it has Been demonstrated that no curvature of the earth was seen even at the altitude of over 40thosand feet and above.


As per the helium ball experiment have you tried it?
Have you been on a plane before? Have you seen the curvature of the earth even when it gets to 30thousand feet?.


Oga nah you need to stop being the mumu to the lies this Freemasons feed us with.


If the curvature of the earth is 8inch per square mile then tell me why you need to even go up to conduct an experiment of the curvature of the earth. Have you seen the picture of the earth before? Then tell why the people in australia aren't standing upside down, or why we here in nigeria aren't standing side ways like a gecko on the wall?.

Am waiting for your answers so we can know who is the mumu.

EMILO2STAY:
you believe because that is what you were taught not because you know for sure.

CanadaOrBust:
That na una problem. We only know one tea in Naija.

What you will need to make Nigerian Tea

You only need 3 ingredients to make Nigerian Tea. For one serving of Nigerian Tea made in a standard mug, you will need:

1 tin Peak Evaporated Milk
1 tablespoon Milo
Hot water

If you are using a who-send-you cup, double the quantities of ingredients above.
Some people add sugar to the above but Milo already contains large amounts of sugar so no need.

I think the fingerprint lock is the best. A fingerprint is a form of biometric data which is impossible to hack by any hacker, and it's also really fast all you need to do is place your finger on the scanner for a few milliseconds and you're good to go. So for me fingerprint lock is the way to go.I won't advice using a face lock because it can easily be opened by using a picture , and a random password is quite forgettable also the same case with a strong pin. A passphrase is also secure but it is not a fast method. Some phones also use voice unlock but almost any computer can synthesise voices. The OP said that a password is impossible to crack but I'm very sure an advanced hacker will be able to do it and the same hacker won't be able to hack a fingerprint lock

Thank goodness!! My phone has none of this problem nd ve been using it for 1nd half year nw.
My next dream phone is iPhoneXs max.

Bunch of crap shitt
Battle of dog shiitt
Infinix, Tecno, Xiaomi, itel and even Huawei are bunch of dog shiitt

Especially Infinix and thier bunch of fuckkk

They keep on rolling out substandard shittt every time.

I repeat
If you want to buy a phone!
Abeg just save enough and try afford Samsung, Nokia or iPhone

But if you nor fit wait make your money mature
Then manage buy Huawei

Make una nor talk say i nor warn una

I'm not shocked at this, there have been several other reports of Chinese racist activities in African countries. The separation of Chinese from people of other colours( especially Nigerians) based on their nationality and not their skill or ability to cook Chinese meals is discrimination. The Director, and to think he's a Nigerian, is an unworthy Nigerian and black man for that matter. There are so many black men and women that feel inferior to people of other races and would go to any length to convince themselves that they aren't like the other blacks, however, it remains a personal problem and you can wallow in self hate, it's your miserable life but as long as you try to subjugate other Nigerians to your diffident mentality, it would never be tolerated. I implore that this should be taken seriously, investigated properly and necessary actions carried out to stop them before it stimulates other of such businesses and activities by racist foreigners or self hating Negroes.
