The earth is a spherical shape.

I have posted a diagram of the effect that con is talking about, it is clearly different than his and shows how the phenomenon con is talking about is possible with our understanding of physics. For the plane I clearly explained that gravity holds it down until it can reach escape velocity as the plane is flying it is little by little moving down as it travels the curvature of earth. Also do try to remember that earth is covered with bumps and isn't a perfect sphere. The roundness and near perfect sphere shape comes from the atmosphere that is also being pulled down since gravity is equal on every part of earth. Con has a deep mistrust of science which is the system that most humans on earth use to make the things we have, tv? Science,planes? Science, computers? Science, we even have quantum computers so how can you deny the existence of at least quantum mechanics? Con must understand that some of NASA's work is indeed artist renditions but is applying the no limits fallacy in that "if one is fake they're all fake". As for the filming of the ships, here's the thing: most people don't care enough to do it because they know how it works. Ptolemy observed this centuries ago. Con says "blindly believing what the smart guys say" referring to scientist I suppose? Well they have been responsible for every major technological invention and advancement since Franklin zapped himself. Without these scientists we may still be living like the same savages that arrived in the new world and murdered an innumerable amount of native/aboriginal/true AMERICANS. so as for why I trust scientists more than con it's simply because con has not achieved the same level of success in the sciences and how could they if they don't believe in integral parts of it. Con also says that I must prove that the videos are doctored, well con has to prove that NASA doctors their legit photos and pointing all those things really doesn't mean much because anyone could doctor the photo and then post it and say NASA doctored it. This debate can only go so far if the most basics of physics is continually being denied, which I'll note that the computer con is typing on is using the same laws of physics con is denying. Gravity makes everything stick but the force of the pull is only apparent when the object has enough mass, remember that just because you feel it with your senses doesn't mean it exists. On the contrary human senses and memory are very much flawed for example, the St. Louis arch. When viewed it appears as the arch is clearly taller than it is wide but when measured it is actually exactly equal both ways, how can this be if not a human perception error? Comparing gravity to religion is laughable, gravity has not been disproved since its discovery. Cons logic is flawed gravity does not exist because the earth is round, the earth is round because gravity exists. Why is it that when you drop a ball it bounces but not as high as where you dropped it? Gravity accelerates things downward by 9.8m/s2 so when it hits the ground it will impart x force which is the mass of the ball multiplied by 9.8m/s2. When it hits the ground the ground imparts the same force on the ball but air resistance saps the energy which would be called work. Religion didn't give us the answer to this question, physics did. Con's football example isn't good because the numbers are too small and con is not accounting for terrain and such/sea level. The earth curves 8 inches in one mile, it does not take 9 miles to curve 72 inches. To show this, let us return to the Pythagorean Theorem method used by Harley, but using 6 feet for the curvature. You say NASA only uses gopros but according to: http://cameras.reviewed.com... They use Nikon's Con then uses Pythagoras theorem as a source when he does not believe in other aspects of math such as calculus which was invented by Isaac Newton. Then con cites the law of perspective as a source once again he is cherry picking which rules of physics are true and which are false in such a way as to strengthen his argument. I'm not sure what con is trying to demonstrate with Pythagoras theorem but since the earth is curved it can't be calculated with Pythagoras theorem because B would be curved. The suns rays hits more like this: http://shawmst.org... Lets remember that euclidean geometry is different than ellipses geometry. In euclidean geometry a triangles angles sum up to 180 degrees but in ellipses geometry the sum is always greater than 180 degrees. Once again in regards to the plane, why would they be flying nose down? Draw the tangent lines of a circle to understand how the gravitational field works. http://eater.www.moonconnection.com... http://www.flatearthdebunked.com... https://www.reddit.com... This gives some insight as to why people would believe in flat earth theory. Con also exhibits every one of these disturbing qualities which leads me to conclude that they are cut from the same cloth. So I'll be blunt: What did they do that caused you to mistrust them and why do you want to believe in a flat earth, is it because it agrees with the bible? What if the bible is written by the devil? The greatest trick he ever pulled was convincing people he does not exist what better way than to use the "holy" scriptures. What if god is evil? In Leviticus god states that you cannot plant 2 different types of seed in your farm. Modern farmers know that this is an important part running a farm. Following Leviticus was what caused the Irish potato famine. I think I'll leave these for now if con still does not believe than please once again state those that you do that believe. This debate kinda veered of course into religion so I apologize to any viewers that are offended, I first and foremost respect your right to believe what you want but when it is affecting people and causing delusions that's when I draw a line. In the end it will be the viewers who decide who's argument is stronger.
