Top 10 reason we know the Earth is round Debunked(pretty easily)
10. All the other planets are round, but does that mean that we are a sphere? If you go to a party and all the guys have black hair does that mean you have black hair? Definitely one of the top stupidest reason to think we are on a ball.
9. Time zones work perfectly fine on a flat Earth.
8. The Coriolis effect is 99% myth.
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/07/what-hemisphere-you-are-in-does-not-affect-the-way-water-spins-down-your-drain/Its a tourist trap taught to idiots who think they are educated. There is many example of hurricanes spinning in the wrong direction of the "supposed" Coriolis effect. The spinning of bullets and cannon balls is due to rifling in the barreling and that spinning a projectile will make them travel straighter.
7. Whose walked 10,000 in 3 directions? Spherechuckers are obviously not to bright. All you've done is explain geometry of a ball, not actually done anything.
6. The sun lower in the sky is due to perspective of the Sun being close as well as being more consistently closer to the equator. Different shadow lengths can be explained by a close sun, an illogical conclusion can be made only if you assume the Sun is far away and the earth is curved, its called the circle jerk paradigm:
Q. How do you know the Earth a ball?
A. Because the Sun is far away.
Q. How do you know the Sun is far away?
A. Because the Earth is a ball.
5. The stars are upside down in different hemispheres
- OK, tape a picture of a horse on your ceiling and then photograph that picture from both sides of the room - omg the picture is reversed - wtf?
Is it because your room is a sphere?
4. Circumnavigation is only possible on a ball - yeah thats completely wrong - in fact it one of the main reason you think we live on a ball. Soon after England broke away from the church in 1530, the "educated" upper class thought it would be a good idea to accept the Copernicus Heliocentric model to quell Sailors who thought they would fall off the edge of the Earth if they sailed to far and not only would this idea distinguish then from the Vatican, it was seen as a boost to commerce and the elite merchants and taught in schools to the lower class to this day.
3. The horizon rises to your eye level no matter which height you travel to, this would not happen on a ball. Also ships do not go over the horizon.
https://youtu.be/icRkqRTdT1Q The horizon would also curve on the sides if we lived on as ball - all normal focal length cameras reveal a completely level horizon accept when you use a very wide angle lenses which curves things in the distance and gives you a false perspective, do you think their is a ball in the sky too?
2. selenelion lunar eclipses occur when both the sun and moon are in view , scientific explanation - like usual they throw a word like refraction at it but actually when you do some research you see why this is impossible, another example of the impossible "science" is when we see Mercury or Venus when we are on the night side of orbit away from Venus and Mercury.
https://youtu.be/Jp1TxJhHpZQ1. The photo evidence is all composites, painting, wide angle lenses and cgi/photo-shopping, no complete "photo" of the earth exists.
