Are you religious Hodge?

Not at all, I firmly believe that there is a creater, and do not believe for a second in the big bang theory,as for religion couldn't care what anyone believes.

Just seen this and honestly, I suggest you open your mind to the reasons why what you believe is wrong, rather than just blindly sticking to it.

If the earth is not spinning, how do you explain this:

Of course everything the likes of Brian Cox et al tells you is true. Just because some of it is not immediately intuitive, does not mean it's wrong!

You have 3 options really:

1. Do some reading of your own and actually try to *understand* for yourself what physics tells us about the world we live in, and how it exactly matches up with the empirical evidence.

2. Decide that since all credible sources agree, then it must all be true and just accept it.

3. Continue with an idiotic belief which is not only false, it's unhelpful and leads to you being laughed at, for no benefit.

Up to you.

Maybe it nas something to do with our enclosed environment like I said sycgnac not sure of spelling proved the earth to be stationery and the ether that blankets our earth to rotate.

Water "bends". Like this:

Note the boat on the left picture is partially obscured by the mound of water between the boat the viewer. The two images would be identical if the water was flat.

Bit like the water in your bath when you move.

How can the sky rotate in 2 different directions if your sat on a flat plane? Where as on a sphere it does.

Really come on, the stars in the sky are reletive to you, could it be that our firmament encases us like a large bowl , now the fixed stars rotate within , so depending on your location determines how they are viewed

Still waiting for @hodge 's view on these photographs.

Hmmm

You may not "detect" the movement personally (in that you're not having to cling on to a tree to stop yourself flying off) but you can see the Coriolis effect several ways, look at water flowing down a plug or look at the weather systems and the fact we have trade wins or more obviously cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere (anti-clockwise storm systems) and anti-cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere (clockwise moving storm systems).

So you say you never will, but you already have, seemingly without knowing it.



No no, no one has ever disproven gravity, ever.



Two pages back there are photographs of both the straight bridge and electricity pylons across Lake Pontchartrain which clearly show the curvature of the Earth over its 23 mile distance. You can look at all the pictures, you can go there for yourself, you can see it's not aspect ratio or vanishing points. You can literally solve this puzzle for yourself but the fact they have been posted and yet you STILL say "you have yet to see photographs showing the curvature" suggests to me you are outright lying.



Well that's not true, as you move towards the equator and Southern Hemisphere then the North Star disappears out of view very quickly and if you visit a country such as SOuth Africa then you won't recognise the night sky in the slightest (which is always strangely unnerving).



This is a perspective thing, whilst we do move (relatively by human standards) through the solar system and universe, such are the distances involves that it's impossible to notice movement during a human lifetime. The stars you see are thousands of light years away. That may sound a lot but just picture it again. Humans have been recording history for only 5,000 years. The photons that hit the back of your eye have been travelling at 186,000 miles per SECOND (that's really fast) since before your ancestors were making cave paintings. The universe and even galaxy is so very very big that movement is imperceptible.



Because you are not thinking logically in any way shape or form and totally ignoring all answers put to you.



Hmmmm. No idea of your strength but the jury is out on the other one.

Another time he studiously avoids a post that answers his confusion.

Seconds out. Ding ding round 2.

Not he didn’t. Nobody did. But it’s interesting you take his word as gospel on that and not, erm, you know, every other fucking scientist that has lived.

Have you even opened the link for ten proofs you can do yourself to see the earth is a sphere?

For someone who affects to be sceptical of the establishment position. This was exactly what the Establishment position was (though without the flat nonsense) several hundred years ago until Galileo proved them wrong..
