SHAQ believes the earth is FLAT.

[RRyder823]

If the Earth was a sphere, airplane pilots would have to constantly correct their altitudes by dipping their nose downward to account for the curvature of the Earth. At a normal cruising speed of 500 mph, a commercial airplane pilot would have to repeatedly dip the nose of the plane downwards and descend 2,777 feet every minute (approximately 50 feet per second) or the plane would quickly fly into space. Airplane pilots never perform this action.The lack of curvature can be tested yourself – get on a small airplane and level it out in the air and pay no attention to the horizon as you just maintain that exact same angle of flight. After about 45 minutes, if the spherical model is correct you should have to make a correction of nearly 6,000 feet to return to the same altitude; instead you will remain perfectly level with the ground. The same applies for submarines.

Flat earthers claim to do so much research, but all they really do is watch misguided, misinterpreted rhetoric compiled on youtube videos with spooky intro music and a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) slideshow. If you actually cared about flat earth and the "truth" as much as you claim, you'd actually do the research yourself and find the scientific explanations for all these alleged "flat earth phenomena". They've all been debunked by scientists, independent researchers and various other sources, from your "pilots would need to dip the nose of their plane down" to "There's no flights from Santiago, Chile to Perth, Australia nonstop" it's all false. But all flat earthers do is cite an example, get it debunked and either say "NASA is fake, its CGI" or move the goalposts to another asinine argument. The recent trend in anti-intellectualism is scary honestly.

What's truly scary is people actually think you should respect these utterly insane and stupid views that the earth is flat because they don't think you should call someone stupid for expressing an opinion.

Problem is that it's not an opinion that the earth isn't flat. It's a testable and proven fact. There is no middle ground and flat earthers should not even be humored

No..the problem is you think that flat earthers are expressing an opinion..quite the opposite they are stating facts and backing it up with real science that are tested observable and repeatable. I know the arguments for globe earth I used to believe in that nonsense. Guess what there is no curvature at any distance or elevation and no we are not moving at all let alone spinning 1000mph. You really believe that ppl in Australia and everyone in the southern hemisphere are upside down right down but are being held down to "gravity"? The very same "gravity" that can hold oceans together but cant stop a feather from floating away with no resistance? If we were walking or running and gravity really existed it would feel as if we were pulling away from velcro or pulling our boot from the mud. If are our earth is really spinning one can simply get on a helicopter hover x amount over the surface and simply let the earths spin bring them to their destination. See where im going with this?

You are so adorable.

I had been ignoring this thread because I just knew what it would be...and yes It is.
I honestly can't believe how many of you believe that Shaq wasn't playing a bit.
It's clear as day, I mean like it wasn't even played out well by him and everything and you still fell for it.
Wow. Like how many times does Shaq open his mouth and be serious anyway?

There are a whole lot of folks who are desperate to feel smarter than someone. That's the only way I can explain it, man.

You're trying to show us that you obviously don't know anything about science? What you've just said shows a deep level of ignorance about the physical world.

6 wrong things:

1- "You can't see the curvature." Yes, it's called the horizon. To actually see the arc, you would need to be 50k feet in the air. But the best way is to look at a boat coming from the horizon. The boat will come from the ocean. Why? Because THERE'S A CURVATURE. Also... Toronto is sinking!!!




2- "no we are not moving at all let alone spinning 1000mph".
You are not feeling the movement, because it's constant. If you went into car driving always at the same speed on a perfect road, you wouldn't feel like you are moving. Even without that perfect road, everyone knows that it's the acceleration and deceleration you feel the most.

3-"You really believe that ppl in Australia and everyone in the southern hemisphere are upside down right down".
No they are not "upside down", because earth is always down no matter where you are. The sky is never down, because of gravity pushing down... to the earth.

4-" gravity" that can hold oceans together but cant stop a feather from floating away with no resistance".
What? You do realize that the air is a resistance force and it has more power over a feather than something heavier? Try throwing a feather and a ball at the same speed, and let's see if they really go at the same speed just because you applied the same force to each... So if gravity applies the same force to a feather and something heavier, the feather will obviously take longer to fall. You can't even get basic science right... You think that something lighter should fall to the ground faster... how sad is that? I understand why you are scared of science, you don't know anything about it.
And you do realize that it takes a force to move something? Nothing is pushing the ocean up, so why would it need to be held? Held from what?

5- "If we were walking or running and gravity really existed it would feel as if we were pulling away from velcro or pulling our boot from the mud."
That doesn't even make sense... why? I guess you never saw a baby trying to lift his head in the first month: the muscles aren't strong enough to go against gravity. You "train" to get used to it. But even the greatest athletes, with perfectly developed muscles, can only go 40 inches in the air before they go back down. Without a force like gravity to pull us down, why would we go back down that fast? It's not friction that would simply slow you down, it's clearly a force pushing back.

6-"If are our earth is really spinning one can simply get on a helicopter hover x amount over the surface and simply let the earths spin bring them to their destination."
That also doesn't make sense... The air is spinning with earth, if it didn't, there would be constant hurricanes.

Didn't go through the thread but Shaq admitted he was joking about the 'Earth is Flat' thing on the Art of charm podcast

[ClubLakers KB8]

This thread is incredibly pointless. Should I start one arguing the existence of Big Foot next?

Your explanation is pure pseudo science.

1. The boats over the horizon has been debunked. The naked eye can only see before your eye level and ground level converges and reaches a vanishing point.The hull of ships disappears before the mast giving the illusion of going over the curve, but in reality when you get binoculars or a decent zoom camera canon p900 you and zoom in you will see the ship back in full view sailing on flat ocean. it was just out of our basic line of sight.This is due to law of perspective. Which is why if you look down a long corridor or tunnel the further down there is an illusion of the ceiling and the floor are closing in.

2. In theory yes that makes sense but there is no proof of this and you are just presuming that we are in constant motion.

3. I think you're having trouble grasping the concept of your globe earth. If an ant was on a beach ball...the ant on top of the ball would be rightside up..the ant on the bottom of the ball would not be rightside up its upside down.

4. You're comparing apples to oranges. your comparing the resistance of horizontal force with vertical force. Horizontal resistance is due to factors such as mass/inertia/windfactor where as vertical resistance is simply a matter of if the density of an object is lighter than the air. Gravity doesn't pick and choose at what rate it wants an object to fall..but density determines the rate at which an object falls.

5. You make no sense whatsoever. Gravity is the supposed force that pulls an object towards the mass of a greater object. So if the person was walking running(applying opposite mechanical force away from gravity) you would think that the mass of earth would far exceed that of the force of muscle and have some resistance of some sort.

6. Again there is no proof of this assertion and just ridiculous logic. A rotation of 1000mph west to east is 1500ft per second. That means at every 3.5 seconds it moves a mile. Ask an airline pilot if they ever have to make adjustments when they are making a landing on a north/south runway because the earth is rotating 1500 ft per second. Or better yet since you believe the air and clouds are spinning with the earth then ask yourself if the plane turned around going east to west would it be facing 1000mph headwinds? If you really think taht, next time you look out the window on a nice breezy day just know that the earth air and clouds are moving at 1000mph faster than a category 5 hurricane. This is what mainstream science teaches you.

Oh my god... I'm not sure if it's more pathetic if you are a troll or if you are serious...

1- That's simply a lie. Bring binoculars or a camera, stand at sea level, and you will see for yourself.

2- Foucault prove in 1851 that the earth spin on itself. Welcome to 1851.

3- Yes, if the ant is on the bottom side of the beach ball, it will be upside down, because gravity is going down (earth is down, sky is up). Does a beach ball produce gravity? You've showed that you have a child's understanding of the world... I've just realized I spent all this time arguing with someone who compares a beach ball on earth with the Earth and who thinks it makes sense. I think I've lost enough time... I'll go fast.

4- You said: "The very same "gravity" that... cant stop a feather from floating away with no resistance?", implying that gravity is weak because it can't stop a feather. First, it can, the feather will eventually go down. Second the air also creates a resistance vertically. So your assertion that a feather falling down slowly (or whatever) is proof that there's no gravity is stupid.

5- Gravity creates resistance. Want to try running on the moon? Or in a room without gravity? If your brain can not grasp a scientific concept, it doesn't mean that it's false. It just means you can't grasp it.

6- Dude, the plane is also spinning with the earth and the air (and so are you). We are all spinning together. Why would the plane be facing any wind? Your way of thinking is way off.

I think that most flatearthers are serious, that's the scary/sad part.

As for this particular one, if he is trolling, than he is even more pathetic. He would have invested hours of trolling in this thread.

I spent one hour on this and I feel bad that I wasted this time. Imagine arguing for hours something you don't believe in just to provoke a reaction in people you don't know and can't see...

[Yallbecrazy]

people who use science to argue against a flat earth are just wrong. It's a troll's paradise, let the trolls troll. I feel everyone who argues against flat earth is really insecure because they feel the need to show how smart they are. Flat earthers know they are smart and subsequently are very secure individuals and would be way more awesome to have a beer with.

You've seen the world we live in? Even if flat earth was a joke at the beginning, it became serious for many people who just want to see conspiracy everywhere and who don't trust science. Flat earth is developing as a concept and the anti-science movement is real and scary.

Yet you seem like you want to encourage that? Even generalizing that "flat earthers know that they are smart". You did a research to find that out? Or is it just your "gut feeling"?

I'm sure there are people who actually believe it, but there are very few of them and their opinions don't matter. They exist because the people who provided 'facts' are actually really smart people, good at debating and like challenges.

[Illmatic12]

We live in a time where the lines between facts and opinion are being blurred. Truth doesn't matter anymore, it's all about who can appeal to the most people and sway them into blindly following their doctrine.

I'm assuming you're a globe earth stan..everything I'be said is based off facts logic and common sense. I'm not stating my opinion nor do I have some kind of secret motive..Im providing real evidence that can be verified and not some random anecdotal conjecture as evidence. people debating this can't even properly refute my statements bc you simply cant debunk the truth except use strawman arguments to support their strawman position...such as the boats over the horizon example. Ignorance is bliss..guess they can enjoy that blue pill.

We live in a time where the lines between facts and opinion are being blurred. Truth doesn't matter anymore, it's all about who can appeal to the most people and sway them into blindly following their doctrine.

I'm assuming you're a globe earth stan..everything I'be said is based off facts logic and common sense. I'm not stating my opinion nor do I have some kind of secret motive..Im providing real evidence that can be verified and not some random anecdotal conjecture as evidence. people debating this can't even properly refute my statements bc you simply cant debunk the truth except use strawman arguments to support their strawman position...such as the boats over the horizon example. Ignorance is bliss..guess they can enjoy that blue pill.

Haven't read the entire thread so apologies if you've answered this but I have two questions: 1) have you ever flown on a plane before? 2) have you ever looked up in the sky at night and seen the moon?

1) Plenty of times

2) Affirmative

I haven't read through this whole thread, so maybe someone mentioned this. But Shaq was on that Art of Charm podcast today and said about the earth being flat "I'm joking you idiots".
