TheMorgile - FLAT EARTH 2016 August Update
Dear TheMorgile,
At time mark 3:00, your stated, "prove curvature, prove axial rotation, prove orbital mechanics - none of these exist."
Your 3 assertions are WRONG. 100% wrong.
If you choose not to believe the following proofs, that is your problem.
The universe is, as it is. Not as you want it to be.
>>>>>>>>>>
Curvature:
1. We know the Earth is round because we have photographic evidence, and the testimony of thousands of people who have personally seen the Earth curvature.
Pictures taken from space above the altitude of 300,000 feet, show the Earths curvature.
Satellites such as DSCOVR transmit live images of the Earth 24/7 from a distance of 1-million miles (http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/).
Just because you have a mental block against NASA space pictures of the globe Earth, that does not mean authentic pictures do not exist. The problem is not the pictures, it's YOU idiot.
2. The shadow of the Earth on the Moon during an eclipse is curved.
3. Sun shadow lengths differ from place to place on the Earth, when seen at the same time of the day.
4. You can see farther from higher.
5. Ships and the Horizon
Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigated the Earth. Traveling west around the globe you will observe ONE FEWER SUNRISE than everyone else, upon arriving back at your starting point.
Ships on the horizon or tall buildings in Chicago disappear bottom first, while traveling away from them.
You can see the sun set twice if you watch it lying down, and then quickly stand up.
If the Earth were flat there would not a horizon beyond which things disappear. Looking west from Chicago, you should be able to see the Rocky Mountains, but you don't.
6. Varying Star Constellations
The stars at night change as you go north or south.
The constellation Orion is upside down in Australia.
The north star Polaris cannot be seen in the southern hemisphere.
The Southern Cross constellation, and the Magellanic clouds cannot be seen in the Northern hemisphere sky.
7. Look at Other Planets
All planets and stars we have ever seen are round, and there is no reason to indicate that the Earth should be any different.
8. The Existence of Time Zones
Day and night happen at different times, at different places on the Earth,
9. The Coriolis Effect
Freely moving things like hurricanes are deflected to the right - but only if they are north of the equator.
If you are south of the equator, they are deflected left.
10. Triangles
If you walk 10,000 km straight along the Earth's surface, turn 90 degrees to your right, walk 10,000 km more, turn right again and walk another 10,000 km, you'll be back to where you started, having successfully made a triangle with THREE 90 degrees angles.
As any geometry student will tell you, that is impossible on a flat Earth.
11. The Suns get lower and lower in the sky as you travel away from the equator.
As Eratosthenes did, you can measure the altitude of the Sun from different places on our globe Earth, on the same day and time, and by using simple geometry you can calculate the Earth's curvature.
12. The Center of Gravity
This causes water to be LEVEL at any given point on the Earth, but not flat. Water is curved when seen from above over large (1,000 miles) distances.

21st Century technology proofs that the Earth rotates:
Earth’s rotation rate can be measured using various different methods. Modern geodetic techniques include:
1. Build a simple Foucault Pendulum and discover the truth for yourself. It's motion over a 24-hour period is because the Earth rotates.
2. The Coriolis Effect proves the Earth rotates.
3. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI).
4. Satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) or of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)
5. Laser ranging to artificial Earth satellites of the Lageos or Starlette (Satellite Laser Ranging).
6. Earth remote sensing satellites like ERS1, ERS2 or TOPEX/POSEIDON and Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR).
7. Gyroscopes; accurate measurements of the Earth’s rotation rate can be obtained by using high quality gyroscopes, such as ring laser gyros (RLG) included in tactical grade inertial measurement units.
8. Surveying land over a distance greater than a few miles.
9. Construction engineering for span bridges (i.e., Golden Gate Bridge) over water.
Because of the curvature of the Earth, the towers are a little wider apart at the top than at the bottom
10. Airline flight navigation adjustments needed for the Coriolis affect.

Three PROOFS that the EARTH IS TRAVELING THRU SPACE...
1. There was no straightforward proof for the motion of Earth until 1725 when James Bradley discovered stellar aberration. This is (apparent) yearly change in positions of all stars in the sky due to Earth's own motion. Aberration arises due to adding up of the speed of light coming from the star and Earth's own speed. This is a very complex phenomenon and its description requires some math.
2. Another, much simpler, consequence of Earth's motion is stellar parallax. If Earth changes its position relative to the stars, then the stars should appear to change position in the course of the year.
3. A third discovery proving Earth's motion was that of Doppler Effect. Wavelength of the light that we receive from objects moving relative to us becomes a little shorter (i.e. bluer) when we approach the source and becomes longer (i.e. redder) when we move away from the source. When Earth moves toward a star, the star will appear slightly bluer (only high-tech instruments can measure this) while it will appear redder when Earth is on the other side of the orbit and moves in the opposite direction. This effect proves that Earth has a velocity relative to the stars, similar to aberration.
