It is, remember the Cavendish experiment, you know the one you claimed has never been repeated even though is it repeated all the time?


I model that student can only play with for 5 minutes that is made to mimic the look of the theorized design isn't even close to the actual repeating results that were only "verified" by a rich alzheimer patient in his diary after 3 months of observing rocks. Also the fact that an experiment is repeatable doesn't negate the fact that if the results are wrongful theorized in the first place, it only serves to confirm your bias.

For example - I theorize this glass's gravity will hold this liquid milk in place.....results are repeatable :wacko:

Too simple. It's true and does prove the Earth is round.
But no one can get all worked up about things, if they just accept the obviousness of this fact. :)


So explain why this effect doesn't happen over land? Is this "horizon" when viewed over water just a mirage and a trick of refraction cause of all the build up of evaporation?

More salad in your diet would help with the constipation.

Link to the .pdf book: Flatland

...which while describing a fictional world that is ...flat, aka 2 dimensional, will prove that the Earth is round. :)

The Flat Earth is round silly. Mount Everest's peak is 8,848 metres above sea level. That's 3 dimensions - x, y, z. They say time is the fourth Dimension and i suspect and since we live in the past we can only strive to understand it.

Obviously, didn't read the book. Also, when I say round, I mean globular.

I know, it's just a common mistake that globular-ist's often mistake which allows them to have misguided faith in their beliefs.
