Good try, but I have 40 years of experience teaching college-level math, physics and engineering science. Don't you think I would have figured this out by now? And I know hundreds like me. Do you think we are all brainwashed? You are a fool or a troll.

If you are teaching your students that water behaves differently than the diagram below, then you are teaching a falsehood.

Water doesn’t lie, but when it does, it lies flat. Those are the scientific facts, glober. Stop lying to your students and yourself.

Also, if a man was as big as the one who is standing on the earth in that image I'd be really worried as he would be a giant of very large proportions. Surely you need to scale him down to a dot.

Again, bodies of water do NOT curve. Water lies flat,the Earth is flat. Water does not go to a convex shape as you look out from an ocean beach.

I haven't even addressed the earth curve calculator that time & time again has FAILED when high power HD cameras see ships that come into view.

Research Flat Earth.

How would flat-earthers explain high tides versus low tides then? It takes a lot of energy to lift so much water. Could you lift a bathtub or a children's pool full of water?

He probably teaches them about gravity, which explains the things you are failing to understand about the oceans.

So many differnet countries and private companies have satellites into space. They're all in on the hoax, huh? Countless pilots, scientists, explorers, mathematicians, politicians from all over the world... all in on the cover up! For what reason?

THIS VIDEO MUST BE FAKE!!

Fisheye lens distorts the image, glober. The horizon is flat as countless high altitude balloons have shown.

Now matter how high you go, the horizon always rises to eye level. If the earth were a ball, the horizon would constantly drop as you ascended.

Learn something new everyday.

I do know that once you buy into one of these conspiracies your chances of buying another explode. That’s why you will see the same posters for multiple wackadoodle conspiracies. Psychiatrists figure they like the feeling of self importance that they are one of the select few that are “in the know”. To get that fix they need to jump into new conspiracies. Your chances of reasoning with a flat earthier are about the same as telling a junkie he needs to lay off the drugs.

Argumentum ad passiones is a debate tactic w/o evidence. Do better, glober.

Glober, until airline paths can be accurately represented on a ball, you have no case. On a ball, it's nonsensical.

Evidence here, watch video:

Qantas offers direct flights between Sydney, Australia and Santiago, Chile. Sydney-Santiago direct is 12h30. Santiago-Sydney direct is 15h20.

How does that work on your azimuthal equidistant projection, considering the flight would have to be going around Mach 2 to make those times?
