See my above, I don't think he's baiting, just that you guys are missing what I pointed out -- IE theory vs practice. Von is thinking in terms of actually sailing/boating.

I think you guys are throwing demented spaghetti at the wall to distract from what is basic, elementary physics.

They are round just due to gravity. The larger the mass the more likely it is to be closer to a sphere - that's why smaller rocky dwarf planets aren't often very spherical. Their mass isn't quite enough to conform them to a sphere.

Yes extreme rotation can make them oblate - especially gas giants.

Here is the definition of a dwarf planet... Note the comment on mass and roundness.

According to the International Astronomical Union, which sets definitions for planetary science, a dwarf planet is a celestial body that -orbits the sun, has enough mass to assume a nearly round shape, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a moon

I thought I remembered that bit about mass. But admittedly I don’t know that much about it.

It has to be disabled by the user some how :dunno:

If you hover over my user name and see the little circle arrow 'rewind' button, that will show you the prior name. aka Splawndude

I think you pointed that out before and I also remember all of your pics of the rotating stars from a pole. :cheers:

Doesn't matter where you start or in which direction; direction is meaningless, hence my claim that the compass is irrelevant... and a non-sequitur... and a troll-like distraction to the basic thought experiment.

Except all navigation, land, sea and air is basically done with a compass, so throwing that out isn't a fair approach.

I say to you, "Hey man, just head that way (pointing) and you'll eventually end up back here".
I could only be correct in my prediction if we're standing on a globe-shaped object.
No other shape will work in all directions!

Theoretically I understand what you are saying, but that experiment cannot be demonstrated so it's thought form vs thought form. What you are actually suggesting is that I cannot maintain a course of 180 degrees, south, and wind up back at the same spot. That's the question when it comes to disc earth. Where is south? Where is the edge? But I noted earlier in the thread that magnetic south is just a spot out in the ocean east of Antarctica already, so theoretically I can sail due south until I wind up going north again all the same, albeit in a slightly different fashion!!!

No one is forcing you to respond.

Look up The Final Experiment on youTube. Summary: a pastor flew a bunch of flat earthers to Antarctica to observe the 24 hour sun. The guys who went finally admitted that the flat earth theory is wrong.

Witness the reaction by the FLERS that did not go and the absurd lengths they go to in order to discredit the incontrovertible evidence produced. Presented by the colorful Prof. Dave

I admit that it is good evidence for a spherical earth. I am not sure that it is as conclusive as one might think, but that is a subjective point. I'll think about it some more and follow up.

Actually it's not a bad extra reason for the Earth being a sphere. We know how big the Earth and what size objects are that aren't quite spheres. So the Earth's size and mass strongly suggests it has to be sphere.

I will look into this. Maybe I will go to Antarctica to see it myself some day. I admit that it is good evidence for a spherical earth. I am not sure that it is as conclusive as one might think, but that is a subjective point. I'll think about some more and follow up.

Except the magnetic south pole is in the southern ocean, not on land. so it's sort of a faulty premise this "pastor" has created.

How is that relevant ? The sun still never sets. Plus the ocean it’s in has 30’ of ice on top of it.

I guess it depends on the model you're considering. How could one watch the sun travel around you in a circle on a disc for example?

I don't see 24 hour sunlight as proof of anything spherical. And according to google there is no ice in the southern location of magnetic south.

I think it is possible in any model.

Explain 24 hour sun and 24 hour dark and hourly increments in between on a disc earth

OK just tested it and Bad Brain's 2 former names were displayed, so definitely working.

That's because you're a mod maybe :dunno:

"The magnetic south pole is not fixed and wanders, currently located in the southern ocean off the coast of east antarctica"

That's because the Earth spins on an axis.

Floyd Eye said:
Did you see him record Are You Experienced ? Did you physically see him play ? How do you know it wasn't faked. How do you know Chas Chandler didn't bring in some session guitarist ? Same with Babe Ruth. Is there even any evidence he existed ? All of these questions make as much sense as believing space, the moon landing, sphere earth and gravity are fake.

So wait. Are you saying Eddie Van Halen may not have actually recorded "Eruption" in one take with a single tracked electric guitar?

I fucking knew it :lol:

Fakery

According to google:

magnetic north and south do not follow the earth's geographic axis The geographic North and South poles are defined as the points where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects the surface. These points are fixed and do not move.
  • Magnetic Poles: The magnetic North and South poles are the locations where the Earth's magnetic field lines are vertical. These poles are constantly moving or drifting due to changes in the Earth's molten outer core.
