Read this shit... Flat Earth
    #23563712 - 08/21/16 06:19 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

There is SO MUCH craziness on the internet these days. This goes against everything every educated person knows, and practical common sense...
And yet, What if something like this were plausible and when someone tried to spread the truth they were just made to look like a crazy conspiracy nut?

Here it is

Interesting. You might get better responses in the conspiracy forum

Esentially, what your suggesting is that everyone with a boat, every pilot, and every teenager that has sent a gopro into space on a baloon or rocket, is in conspiracy with every weather, and soace program, as well as the faa, and every military on the planet. Millions of people across every country.

There's no convincing a flat earther unless you take them into space..which apparently doesn't exist to them. I think a lot of them believe in it for religious reasons, and we all know proving someone's religious beliefs wrong is just blasphemy. BUT..there is something pretty strange and mysterious about the South Pole though. It's been off limits since Admiral Byrd flew there, and the nazis had a pretty strong interest in it apparently, even during the war.

how does a teenager have balloons or rockets to launch a 'gopro' into space?

Also, I didn't claim to believe any of this I just thought it was interesting.

Idk about the alien bases, I mean I wanna believe that just because of how amazing it would be, but I can see the pyramid hypothesis being possible. Lots of pyramids seem to have been strategically placed based on astrology, so I could see the South Pole being a suitable spot. I know Hitler was into the occult, so who knows, maybe they did find some alien shit down there if the nazis were so interested :shrug: I also vaguely remember hearing about some pilot who said there was a green oasis with humanoids at the South Pole when he flew over it. Idk, it's easy to dismiss all these claims, but I like to stay somewhat open to them..even if it's only to make the world seem more interesting :shrug:

Honestly you should just research it yourself, I admit I don't know a ton about it and I don't want to posts bad link. I've just read a bit about how it's apparently only accessible to certain scientists and military during certain times of the year. I should probably look into it myself more before I make statements about it lol. There could easily be a good reason for it that doesn't have to do with any kind of cover ups obviously.

Flat Earthers say that the lens in a GoPro is curved.

I imagine you would just send balloons up attached to a go pro. Once the balloon is up in the atmosphere high enough, it'll pop on its own. You find it using a GPS system later.

I'm not talking about seeing the curvature. You can look a map,  and them look at the actual landmass, and it matches. That, and you're always in the center.

Yeah I think the people who come up with the more sophisticated arguments for it are trolls, they're scientifically literate enough that they must know better. There are also some true believers, who seem mostly to have their reasoning skills compromised in some way or another.

Some people use those videos to justify the world is flat.

Read the comments section here, you can see people claiming this is the best evidence that proves the world is flat

The comment section for these videos are so fucking awful, yeah I swear a lot of these uploaders are just causing controversy to get people bickering for easy views upon returning between the viewers arguing. I've been called a government/NASA shill a few times, just like OPs link mentioned haha. Those people are paranoid as fuck and it's kinda creepy to be honest, they're like a cult almost.

GoPro lenses probably are curved. It gives a wider field of vision, can film closer while still seeing just as much peripherally. These "Fisheyes" or wide angle lenses are very common filming certain things.

The funny thing is this really is a conspiracy, a religious conspiracy.

The logic goes like this.

(1) the world is really flat, every astronaut airplane pilot and scientist are lying especially Neil Degrasse tyson, Bill nye the science guy, Steven hawking and Albert Einstein was the biggest liar of them all, all atheists by the way which is actually important to them, you will understand why later.

(2) All the photographs of other galaxies, other planets ect... are all fakes made to deceive you.

(3) NASA and all governments are spending billions of dollars each year to launch rockets to make it look like there is an outer space when in reality the rockets crash back into the earth.   

(4) And finally the reason flat earthers are doing this, Look at it from their point of view, here it is, well if all scientists are lying then they must be lying about evolution to Therefor since all science is a big lie that proves there is a god because nobody knows what stars planets and galaxies are anymore because no one can go to space and find out.

Therefore there is a god by default.

Religious groups and people do this all the time, if science can't explain it that proves to them that God did it.

Makes me ashamed to be a Christian, which i am. But my God is way more powerful than theirs, My god created a whole universe 40 Billion Light years in diameter by some estimates, with an estimated 1, followed by 24 zero's number of stars. What a pathetic belief, So if i get this right, their god was only powerful enough to create one planet barely 8,000 miles in diameter?? how pathetic, puny and weak their god is.

It's interesting how people can't just be content with not understanding something... They have to make up a bunch of shit to make sense of something that cannot be explained logically. Somethings are just bigger than us and don't need to be combed over quite yet..

The flat earth theory just simply doesn't make any sense. Maybe in some hyper-dimensional sense, but not in terrestrial terms.

1) Are we to believe that Antarctica is a 360 degree ring that surrounds the earth around the edges? Ridiculous. That's way too big of a cover-up. You've got to be one hardcore Solipsistic to believe something like that.
2) Where is the center of the of this flat earth? The middle of the Atlantic, Africa, Kansas? Where is the midpoint? Does it lie on the equator? At what longitude?
3) If there's a dome over the earth, then why is the sky the same height everywhere you go? Wouldn't you hit the outer atmosphere almost immediately if you're very near to the edge of the earth?

This theory is completely debunked in terrestrial terms. And I don't see why the earth can't be a globe AND a simulation at the same time. The supposed "alien jailers" of the human race can easily have their deception and the government can have their cover-ups with or without the earth being flat. I believe in some wacky shit, but there's just no I can turn my tin foil hat into a tin foil sombrero on this one.
