Flat-Earth "theory" is redundant

These are almost the exact same arguments I've heard from those Russians. If the Earth is flat then how come we have day and night? The light of the sun would always hit the Earth's surface. If the Sun hides behind the edge of the Earth then why can't you show me a photo of the Earth's edge? If the Earth is infinitely wide, then where does the Sun go? And don't tell me that it is "like a spotlight". Light is a transversal wave (an electro-magnetic wave to be more precise) and it will travel indefinately which is why you can see the lights from all the way across town. It goes on forever. First of all crepuscular rays are parallel. http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov... Sure, they do look like they are diverging, but that IS because of perspective. If they diverge then the sides of the mountains would be illuminated I live in Sarajevo which means I'm surrounded by mountains. Whenever I see crepuscular rays I never see them light up the side of the mountain that faces towards me. Nor does anyone. Just look at a side of a mountain that is away from the Sun. If the Sun was close and small then the mountains should be illuminated, but they're not. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk... It's only the sides of mountains in the direction of the Sun that are illuminated. I have yet to see a mountain illuminated on both sides. On the Equator, the circumference of the Earth is 24 902 miles. It's around 24 860 miles from the poles. But the elevation of the Earth should be taken into account. Joshua took the pictures from a dune in Grand Mere States Park in Michigan. And dunes there are HUUUUUUGE! I put in that he shot it from a 60 meter (200 feet) tall dune. And those are the smaller ones. So the target hidden height should be around 300 meters. https://dizzib.github.io... And don't forget that he was using a 70-300 mm lens with 1.4x extender. That would make distance even smaller (about 65 km) taking us to a grand total of 110 meters of target hidden height. https://dizzib.github.io... Also it's great how this guy disabled comments and ratings. That just shows he is right and cannot be disproven. There's a problem with your gyroscope analogy is that gyroscope doesn't defy gravity. All of it's curious properties do infact come from gravity. Note that Earth's gravity doesn't work downwards. Gravity works towards the centre of the Earth. Gravity is the consequence of Earth's mass, whilst weight is the force at which the surface and the object work on each other. And it is caused by mass and gravitational acceleration (this was 7th grade physics). Gyroscope stays upright because it IS being acted upon by Earth's gravity. The movement of the Earth is completely irrelevant. Planes do make constant adjustments. As the plane flies the gyroscope on the plane is being acted upon on a different angle by Earth's gravitational pull. It doesn't act independently of gravity. The angular momentum stops them from falling over and gravity pulls it down so it always stays upright. Now, the compass thing. Bruh... Do you even science?!!! There is no magnet working independently of the Earth. Earth IS the magnet. The magnetic force doesn't work inside of the magnet. The magnetic field is expressed in the area around the magnet, not within the magnet itself. The lines of the magnetic field come out of the North pole and enter the South pole. There is nothing happening inside the magnet. Got that? Good. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com... Also, in this video of Dave Murphy you have shown I have stumbled upon a pretty good question when he said why doesn't the Earth's watter spil from it's equator since the water on a tennis ball does? Well, the answer is actually quite simple. The Earth's mass is CRAZY large. The water also has mass and a gravitational pull (although quite smaller). The tennis ball not only has more rotations per second, but it also has an exponentionally smaller mass. That means that the velocity of the rotation of the tennis ball can easily overcome the gravitational pull of the tennis ball and the watter. The Earth's rotation can't do that. Also, if gravity isn't real then there wouldn't be weight since gravitational acceleration is the consequence of gravity and weight is depends on the mass of the object (which is always the same) and the gravitational velocity of the Earth. If the Earth moved upwards then some parts of the Earth would fall off since the gravitational acceleration isn't the same on all parts of the Earth (on the poles it's 9.83, whilst on the Equator it's 9.79 m/s). If you say gravity is real then all on the Earth would still be pulled to the centre (yes, gravity would still work the same way because everything is always pulled to the center) and that would mean standing on the edge of the Earth would pull you towards the centre if you aren't strong enought to fight it. Running in a straight line from the center to the edge would be like climbing a hill even if everything was flat. Now you may ask me why is there gravity. We don't know yet. We know how it works but not why. Einstein has a theory (I would call it a hypothesis, but whatever), but I'm yet to be convinced by it. Here's the article: http://www.space.com... If we could prove dark matter then I'd be convinced, but until then I remain skeptical. Also, if the Earth is flat, what do you think is on the other side? Some said dirt, but that wouldn't explain volcanoes and the fact that the deeper you dig the higher the temperature is. Some say hell which sounds quite interesting. I've heard that people who support the Flat-Earth theory say that it is a plot of the government to keep us ignorant. For the first hundred or so years that the Earth was flat (they didn't teach it in the time of Columbus, but at the very beggining they did) and taught people the Sun revolves around the Earth. They kept the masses ignorant for hundreds of years. Why would governments give up such an effective way to control people? That seems very stupid and poorly thought out.
