Tuesday flerf's day. Flat-Earthers deny satellites’ existence, and after they discovered the existence of balloon satellites, they started to use the fact as “proof” that orbiting satellites do not exist. By the same “logic”, we can use the existence of trucks to “prove” buses do not exist.1yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/FacebookScience
The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation.1yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/FacebookScience
Clouds behind the Sun. Usually, the airplanes fly above the Sun... but don't tell anyone.1yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/FacebookScience
Flat-Earthers seem to have a very low standard of evidence for what they want to believe.2yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
Flat-Earthers seem to have a very low standard of evidence for what they want to believe but an impossibly high standard of evidence for what they don’t want to believe.2yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
The fact that Moon has shadows on its surface, demonstrates the Moon is solid and reflects light. 1mo ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
thinking for yourself. Authority is not the government, a pilot is an authority regarding air navigation!9mo ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
The Lake Pontchartrain power transmission pylons demonstrate Earth’s curvature. Flat-Earthers invented various excuses to dismiss the observation, including the excuse that it was just a perspective effect.1yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
Ship disappearing over the horizon. This happens because the ship is obscured by the curvature of the Earth.2yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
Come on French people, make your mind up. What does the Eiffel Tower really look like?3yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
Climbing to a higher altitude allows us to see farther and more of the previously obstructed objects will become visible, starting from the tops first.1mo ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
Earthshine can be observed during a total solar eclipse using long exposure photography. The familiar figure of the Moon will be easily recognizable.1wk ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
A rocket engine works by releasing mass at a very high velocity. This mass is called ‘propellant’. The spacecraft will move to the opposite direction from which the propellant is released.3yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
If the Earth is flat, then the vanishing point should intersect the horizon line. But they are clearly above the horizon line. This fact shows us the dip of the horizon and proves the curvature of the Earth.1yr ⋅ Lorenofing ⋅ r/flatearth
