dam dam

its Xmas time

where is Sickid posting ?

Hockey forum

why not football ? too much globe i think b)


I've changed my views on flat earth like i said before i can't prove it either way, could be flat could be round who knows

Depends how stringently you define "proof".

Sure, we can't really say anything 100%, but I can say with about 99.99% confidence that the Earth is roughly spherical.



The easiest proof is to just dig three wells a few miles apart.

The shadows of two wells match either a flat Earth with a close sun, or a round Earth with a distant sun.

However, there is no possible way that you can arrange the Earth and Sun such that the shadows match for three wells


But... I already tried to explain basic trigonometry to you and your only retort was something about chemtrails making sunlight not travel in a straight line through the atmosphere.

Vacuumes, as in lack of gas, dont suck. The gas molecules will naturally leave to fill the space due to the pressure difference.

In the case of the Earth the gas molecules cant leave for the same reason you cant jump to space, because it takes energy to fight gravity. Only the very lightest gas particles can leave at any appreciable rate (hydrogen and helium gas).

This energy barrier is why the space shuttles require a metric fuck ton of fuel. They have to fight gravity and weigh a lot. You can argue about what causes gravity but its an observed fact that it requires energy to ascend from the Earth, which is the only thing that matters to the derivation of what I just said.

Most of our atmosphere (about 78%) is nitrogen. At 25 degrees Celsius (77 F), nitrogen molecules have an average velocity of about 511 m/s (1676 ft/s).

With every second, gravity is decelerating molecules by 9.8 m/s^2 (32.2 ft/s^2). So, we can calculate the height the molecule will reach. our initial velocity is 511 m/s (1676 ft/s) and our acceleration is -9.8 m/s^2 (-32.2 ft/s^2). That gives a height reached of 13,322.5 m (43,709 ft). Once our molecule reaches that height, its vertical velocity will be zero, and it will begin to fall.

The kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the gas. So, if our volume of gas is at a certain temperature, molecules with less mass must have greater (average) velocity to compensate. That tells us that molecules less massive than nitrogen have an average speed greater than the average speed of nitrogen. Hydrogen, for example, has an average speed of 1930 m/s (6,332 ft/s). Still not fast enough for the average molecule to escape, but a small amount will be moving fast enough to escape. And in fact we see that. About 95,000 tons of hydrogen manage to escape our atmosphere each year. That's only 0.00000000000017% of the Earth's supply of hydrogen.

I’ll wait for you to try and debunk this with a YouTube comment.

I feel like I’m losing brain cells by just reading his moronic, childish observations.

The earth isn’t a frisbee flying around in space
The moon is clearly a ball.
How the earth wouldn’t be is beyond me
Flat earth believers tend to have lived they’re whole life in one town.

I just accept that it’s beyond your capabilities to grasp

Im not sure he has the physic level to grasp this simple explanation tho

not surprising since he refuses to reveal his education level or lack thereof
