The earth is flat not spherical

It seems my "lack of intelligence" has caused my opponent to pull out all the stops to try and defend his beloved ball. Most of them, thoroughly refuted in the links I provided. I will further explain my opponents arguments. Firstly, planes' windows are convex, which curves lines. Secondly, even if the Earth was round you could not see the curve from a plane window. Thirdly, if I were willing to pay a small fortune where could I go to see the Earth from space? Virgin has been trying to do it for years with some 800 investors now demanding their money back because it is not possible. http://www.fool.com... We supposedly went to the moon in the sixties with little more than a Gameboy, and we haven't put any McDonald's on the moon yet? Your cellphone has more power than what we went to the Moon with. Have you not seen a Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon? https://youtu.be... The pictures were fake. The astronauts never went to the moon they never left low Earth orbit. The ISS is a fraud, this can easily be done with a U-2 spy plane with a fisheye lens on a camera. They claim to be in the thermosphere which reaches temperatures of some 2000 degrees, and you believe that? Google what elements can withstand this heat. https://youtu.be... Seeing longer distances at higher altitudes has nothing to do with the curvature of the earth. See in the cute little drawing you presented how the object the viewer is looking at is leaning away from him, and is below eye level? Neither of these is happening in reality. Watch a high altitude balloon launch, the horizon is always eye level, and perfectly flat, and things do not lean away from you the higher you go. Seeing farther from higher altitudes is due only to another aspect of linear perspective. As you gain altitude, you lose some view of the ground directly below you (unless you are on a hill) and gain that of longer distances. if you were to put a camera inches from the ground on one end of a football field ( which is flat) and walk away from it, on the other end you would see only about from the waist up, raise the camera, and the person comes back fully into view. This is another one of those "I can't believe he just said that" proofs, yet again, refuted. http://whotfetw.com... "Secondly, if the earth was flat, then how come there is day and night?" The sun is close, and small, illuminating locally. It follows the same laws of perspective as everything else. We know this because it shrinks as it goes away from us. https://youtu.be... "Thirdly, if there was a flat earth, then what happened to the people who traveled to the South Pole? " There is no south pole, and we'll never get to go there. You've never heard of the Antarctic treaty? Your buddies guard the edge of our earth like it's made of gold. "Also, the UN flag doesn't mean it supports the flat earth theory. In fact this is a quote from the UN itself: A map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on the North Pole, inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree, . . . The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and includes five concentric circles." I didn't say that the UN supports the Flat Earth theory, but they know the Earth is flat. "... just because it is a map projection doesn't mean it is right or accurate." Take a good look at the list of map projections I provide, and scroll down to the azimuthal equidistant projection. Now scroll out to the far right, and you can see that is is the one and only map used by the USGS. Now I'm sure with your level of intelligence, you know who the USGS is. They use it because it is correct, the only correct map. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... So, going into round 3 we have 3 unrefuted, empirical proofs of a flat earth, and 0 for a ball. Let's widen the gap a but, since my opponent has not even addressed any of my arguments. 4. Gyroscopes Gyroscopes stay on a constant axis from which they are started, even when you sprinkle some magic fairy dust on them. If you've ever had a toy gyro, you would know this. This training manual explains it further. https://youtu.be... With this in mind, think about how much the earth is supposedly moving about in space. Spinning faster than the speed of sound (where's the sonic boom, and why can I hear those sounds both east and west of me equally?) wobbling, flying around the sun, which is flying around the galaxy, which is flying around the universe. None of these preposterous movements at preposterous speeds can be felt or measured at all. My question is, how are gyroscopes reliable? Planes are outfitted with gyros to tell where the horizon is. Why don't they roll back as the plane goes over the hump?
