    You can't be god then can you!
     
    This is god's word, from the bible. And if you don't believe it then you will burn in the pits of hell for all eternity.

    This may very well be true but in terms of the 'flat earth' vs 'round earth / cosmos' discussion (i.e. the nature of the universe), it is irrelevant.
     
    That is because if it is a hologram then this discussion simply becomes 'the nature of the hologram' rather than 'the nature of the universe', which is purely semantics.
     
  3. . Hell yea, when i get stoned enough I let you know why I'm god.

    if anybodies interested this is actually quoted from the flat earth society website explaining there theory on the sun setting and the boat on the horizon disappearing by the cause of the "vanishing point"

    The Setting of the Sun

    Although the sun is at all times above the earth's surface, it appears in the morning to ascend from the north-east to the noonday position, and thence to descend and disappear, or set, in the north-west. This phenomenon arises from the operation of a simple and everywhere visible law of perspective. A flock of birds, when passing over a flat or marshy country, always appears to descend is it recedes; and if the flock is extensive, the first bird appears lower or nearer to the horizon than the last, although they are at the same actual altitude above the earth immediately beneath them. When a plane flies away from an observer, without increasing or decreasing its altitude, it appears to gradually approach the horizon. In a long row of lamps, the second, supposing the observer to stand at the beginning of the series, will appear lower than the first; the third lower than the second; and so on to the end of the row; the farthest away always appearing the lowest, although each one has the same altitude; and if such a straight line of lamps could be continued far enough, the lights would at length descend, apparently, to the horizon, or to a level with the eye of the observer. This explains how the sun descends into the horizon as it recedes.

    Once the lower part of the Sun meets the horizon line, however, it will intersect with the vanishing point and become lost to human perception as the sun's increasingly shallow path creates a tangent beyond the resolution of the human eye. The vanishing point is created when the perspective lines are angled less than one minute of a degree. Hence, this effectively places the vanishing point a finite distance away from the observer.

    Usually it is taught in art schools that the vanishing point is an infinite distance away from the observer, as so:

    However, since man cannot perceive infinity due to human limitations, the perspective lines are modified and placed a finite distance away from the observer as so:

    This finite distance to the vanishing point is what allows ships to ascend into horizon and disappear as their hulls intersect with the vanishing point. Every receding star and celestial body in the night sky likewise disappears after intersecting with the vanishing point.

    For more information please read Chapter 14 of Earth Not a Globe

    In addition to this modified law of perspective the remaining light of the sun bouncing around in the atmosphere will be lost by the non transparent atmosphere. After the sun sets the sky is still relatively illuminated. It takes a couple hours for the deep blackness of the night to set in. The cause of night is simply due to a non-transparent atmosphere. As the sun recedes its light is dimmed and lost to the increasing number of atoms and molecules which intersect the light rays.

    Take note that at sunset the sun is already dimmed by an order of magnitude compared to its intensity overhead at noonday. At sunset it is possible to look directly at the sun without a straining of the eye, while overhead at noon looking directly at the sun can be quite painful. This severe reduction of intensity at sunset is a striking example of how the atmosphere can reduce the intensity of an object with distance.

    Summary
    As the sun descends it will create a tangent into the horizon. The perspective lines nearly merge, causing the receding body to appear to collapse in on itself. Next the light of the receding sun is dimmed to blackness by a non-transparent atmosphere.

    "At these times it appears close to the horizon where the density of the air differs greatly. The air near the ground is denser than the layer of air just above it, and the layer of air above that is less dense still, and so on upwards until the Earth's atmosphere peters out at some 400 km. Now consider what happens when the Sun is setting. When the Sun is at the horizon, light from the top of the disc is going through the air at a different angle than that from the lower part. So the rays are bent by different amounts before they reach the observer's eye. The result is that the bottom part of the Sun's disc appears to be lifted up. In consequence the Sun's disc appears slightly compressed." - Samuel Birley Rowbotham
     
  5. programmed much? 
     
  6. I jus wanted to remind you all... For safety reason the earth is possibly flat... And Chemtrails are real.
     
  7. Safety reasons what's that mean?

    And chem trails are not real. It's a work of fiction.
     
  8. Nonononoonononon were do you get your info? Cnn.... Fox ? Abc news Jesus baby Christ your every were I go.
     
  9. I get my info from many sources. Including a few peer reviewed scholarly articles on this particular subject. I've also taken chemistry in high school which is enough knowledge to debunk such a conspiracy (as well as going on to study biochemistry on the University level but high school level chemistry is all that's necessary to Research this topic).
     

  10. Good job at assuming I learn information from news stations. I don't even watch my local news. Lmfao. Pathetic judgments from someone who can't properly use his critical thinking skills and resorts to low brow maneuvers such as this
     
  11. Perspective is a crazy thing. To us groundwalkers earth seems to be flat. Unless your a spacewalker, then it appears to be spherical. Imagine other things we can learn from another perspective.
     
  12. Wow... Guys look like this is a major trend right now... Hmmm wonder why. Truth is like the sun it can only be hidden for a short amount of time...
     
  13. Soo.... Yea also nasa photos are photoshop... You see the same cloud patterns... Watch the greatest lie part 1... On YouTube it show nasa underwater pretends to be in space by floating it also was on t.V.... Check out some mind control maybe celebs... Tila and rapper b.o.b
     
  14. Look up smart dust
    For truth on chemtrails
     
  15. Are you B.o.B or just mimicking his asinine views?
    You need to watch this comedy segment where Neil deGrasse Tyson Literally Drops The Mic In B.o.B Feud

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XHBZkek8OSU&list=PLD7nPL1U-R5r4rnyxaVvZyPRUecK_vWgV
    You ever feel like B.o.B. actually thinks airplanes are shooting stars?
    The rapper showed off his hatred for science and "facts" recently, getting into an argument (and subsequent rap battle) with Neil deGrasse Tyson over the Earth being flat. Well, now the rapper's point appears to have flat-lined after Tyson's appearance on "The Nightly Show" on Wednesday.
     
  16. And much like the sun, truth can only be eclipsed for short periods of time from ... wait for it...
    The round Earth.
    :smoke:


     
  17. It's trending because of an ignorant and uneducated rapper.
     
  18. We need to stop this trend of people saying daft shite to just get more attention. They must be desperate is all i can say.

  19. Ive been seeing this more frequently. Fucking dumbass people will believe in anything. These are the same people who believe theres a dude in the sky who knows all but sent himself to be sacrificed to prove hes real because thats the easiest way to do things.
