There is no flat Earth model.
Point 1. The moon has not always been at the same distance from earth since its formation In past times it has been closer (at its closest some 14,000km and in future it will be further away. The moon is receding from the earth at a rate of approximately 4 cm per year.
The Size of the Sun and the Moon In absolute terms, the Sun and the Moon couldn’t be more different in size. The Sun measures 1.4 million km across, while the Moon is a mere 3,474 km across. In other words, the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon. But the Sun also happens to be 400 times further away than the Moon, and this has created an amazing coincidence.
Point 2. Gravity is nothing to do with spin at all. Its to do with the mass of bodies relative to each other. Gravity does not counteract spin. Humans, and our constructions, are so small in mass that we remain firmly routed close to, and in relation to, the ground The person making the video does not understand gravity, and is confusing it with centrifugal force.
Point 3. Again, the person making the video does not understand gravity. The earths gravity is holding the moon in orbit, preventing it from instantly breaking away and flying off into space. The moons gravity affects the tides, as a smaller body orbiting the earth
Point 5. The North Star is not directly aligned with our north pole. It appears stationary in the sky because of its distance from the planet and alignment to the solar axis. en.wikipedia.org...
Point 6. Flights do go round or near to the south pole, but as I stated above, aviation practices dicatte that it is not a common procedure.
Point 7. Most maps are produced to Mercator projection, which is a geopolitical articfical projection dervied from the perspective of mainly European states exploring the world. It is entirely artificial and science accepts that fact - indeed there is a growing movement to remove mercator projection from teaching and replace it with a better representation.
Point 8. There are numerous photos of the earth from the moon, and from spacecraft orbiting it, as well as countless from the space shuttle and the ISS.
Point 9. The Big Bang theory does not prevent the formation of alternate universes. There are numerous theories about the multiverse and whether or not we are simply one reality inside of many.
Point 10. 250 years ago, man mainly travelled by horse or walked. Now we use road, rail, sea and air. Humanity went from no powered flight to the jet engine in just under 34 years, and that was only limited to engineering processes as the theories had been around much longer. Using that premise alone, future travel methods and capabilites we are likely to adopt with further scientific discovery mean that interstellar travel is more than feasible as our understanding of the universe continues.
OK. I'm 17 minutes in and its all junk. I'm not wasting my time with more of it. Complete nonsense.
And we know this because it was observed at 14,000km away from the earth, so by that it is fact, WRONG, it is a theory and nothing else.
Since 1969 several Earth-bound stations have accomplished measurements of the Earth-Moon distance by laser ranging.
That post actually contained some research and not an opinion.
Also why you are at it, why don't you actual show me a official NASA photo of the earth which actually shows the continents of the earth represented as they should be, which would reflect the Gall–Peters projection map, not the Mercator projection map
That post actually contained some research and not an opinion.
Yeah yeah, then show them, and i don't mean the composites.
Also why with all the footage, from the space missions, ISS space walks, have we never once seen them do a 360 pan of the camera, nit even by mistake?
Also the so called travel methods and what is being presented to us as fact regarding we we are, is showing massive contradictions, IE the point of this thread and the 2 videos in the OP.
Your opinion nothing more, and your time is to do with what you want and I am not interested.
What I like about this video, and what the video addresses, is coincidences regarding what we are told regarding our planet and were we live, many of witch are just blown off by the main stream as small nothing to worry or think about
What I don't like about this video is that he's full of #! He belongs in the shed of useless tools.
@13:55 he flaunts his ignorance. Polaris has not been the pole star ''Through out history''.
Let's resolve this issue before moving on to the [next] pile of bunk.
Agreed if one is to look back about 5000 years of our history, but for the last 5000 it is correct.
Back on topic, now from what you have pointed out, does that fact alone prove that we live on a globe in your opinion?
