I want to know more about this star fort.

You know you might gain a little more support or at least civil conversation if you didn’t act like a pompous fricking prick in every single one of your posts.

Seems like it’d be fairly easy for some of you crazy flat earthers to simply try to fly a plane to the edge of the world. Yet, none of you have. Weird.
Well you’d also think the fact that they don’t have a model that can predict and explain almost anything about this world that we experience would be a red flag, but here we are
For example, how is it that we see a different set of stars in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere? How is it that people always see the same face of the moon regardless of their location on earth? How do the paths that planes take in the Southern Hemisphere make any sense with any of the maps that the flat earth community use which grossly distort sizes and distances in the Southern Hemisphere?
How does the day/night cycle work? How do seasons come about? How is the rotation of hurricanes explained if not for the Coriolis effect? How do you explain gravity?
There isn’t any one model that can explain all of these phenomena within a flat earth framework, and certainly this framework offers no predictive power; and almost all of these phenomena pretty readily point us to the reality that this isn’t a flat earth. The ancients were able to figure this out using some of these observations, but for some reason we are regressing

So now you’re disputing whether weather radar is actually true? You can verify that weather radar is true by looking outside when it shows rain over your location and see that it’s indeed raining. In fact, right now at 7:50am CDT on Monday, April 11, 2022, radar shows a fairly light shower over my house. I just looked outside and guess what? Light rain is falling.
Good grief.

so like, you don’t believe in light waves or what are you saying here? All radar is is a measurement of light reflected off a surface. You know the speed of light so based on how long it took to hit the target and return you know the range. Doppler shifts in the frequency of the light wave reveal the inbound velocity of the target.
You should try telling the next cop that pulls you over for speeding or the next person you see measuring the speed of a baseball pitch that it’s all fake technology

Water = Seeks it's own level 70% of the Realm = Water Can ANY ONE kindly step to the plate and explain why this single fundamental law of "physics" can be violated
water “seeks its own level” when a gravitational potential is present and acting on the water absent any other forces. This gravitational potential exists all’s cross the Earth and its field lines point inwards towards the center of the earth, so water tends to level in a way that conforms with these field lines such that its meniscus line will tend to be perpendicular to these field lines. It just looks flat to you because the curvature of the earth is extremely large compared to our day to day length scales.
it isn’t really all that complicated This post was edited on 4/11/22 at 8:10 am

They are a guilty pleasure and I’m sad I missed this one until now
However the increased frequency in which people unironically think the earth is flat makes me very sad for humanity

I'd wager that 99.99% of " flat Earthers" don't really believe the bullshite, they just love the attention.
Liberator may be part of the 0.01%. that or he is the most dedicated troll ever.

They just think saying things like "I only believe things I can confirm with my eyes" makes them seem smart. It doesn't. Its pseudo intellectualism.
And if they truly wanted to see that the Earth was not flat with their own eyes, all it requires is putting 10' stick in the ground in south LA and measuring its shadow at noon.
Then take that same stick and drive to Minnesota, find a spot with the same elevation, and put it in the ground and measure its shadow at noon.
Note the difference and ponder how that its possible for 2 different shadow lengths for a flat earth.
The ancient Egyptians figured this shite out. You know, the people they claim had is all figured out but the elites erased all of their knowledge.

I want you to explain to me how global irradiance models align with actual observable data. That can not exist in a flat earth world.
It's very impressive that GHI is such an important issue for you but solar radiation levels are absolutely irrelevant to the Flat Earth model data I posted (as well as to your question, professor.)
GHI data is obviously calculated for a Globe Earth "model"-- what so surprising about that? Again. Irrelevant.

If you can find just ONE "lie" in the Bible, let's examine it. (Btw, what is your source of "Truth"?)
You do realize that the Bible is one of THE main sources of History (People, Places, Deeds, Things.) The four Gospels are four different testimonies. How many 2000 year old "historical" texts use more than 2 eye-witness testimony?
How far back in the "History" are the sources you do trust?

Why do you guys humor someone clearly mentally ill so much? It would be a lot more fun if the guy wasn't an a-hole and actually engaged in any discussion whatsoever.
But he's mentally ill and a total arse that never answers anything.

Nice truth howitzer!
Werner von Braun -- nothing on his his tombstone BUT (Psalms 19:1) . Sure is compelling to anyone paying attention, ain't it?
"The Heavens declare the Glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork."
Von Braun obviously had a change of heart and spirit; He told everyone on his way out ...THE Truth about the Firmament, its author and Creator -- as well as especially, NASA and its "Space" missions.
