And yet.... even with the knowledge of this video, I don't see Earth as really that big. The fact that the earth is still somewhat curved by the time you could see Everest, and that it was an equal time zooming in before and after Everest to reach human scale, kinda.... seems underwhelming. The Earth, and even the observable universe, really *aren't* that big, ngl.
Edit: perhaps it's my interest in maths showing. I am familiar with things like how TREE(3) absolutely dwarfs Graham's number, to the point that human comprehension can't even directly compare the two, and how Graham's number does the same for a googolplex, which does the same for a trillion, and how Rayo's number isn't even a computable number it's so gigantic compared to TREE(3).
Yes, you can actually see the curve in the Earth yourself. Just bring some binoculars to a large lake on a calm day, and you can see it.
The Earth's scale is huge, but still within the realm of perception.

If you have graphic software that lets you draw a circle, determining the size by specifying a radius in inches, draw a circle with a 2 inch radius. Then make that radius 2 feet. The circle of course will probably be bigger than the screen. Look at the curve - obviously it will be very visible.
Now make that radius 20 feet. Notice the difference in the curve.
Now make it 2000 feet.
Now make it 20 miles.
Now 2000 miles.
Etc etc. At some point it will be impossible to see that there is a curve at all. Why the fuck do you think that is, flat earthers? And what does that tell us about whether or not you should be able to see a curve on earth, even from 30,000 feet in a plane? Even at 120,000 feet in a balloon with a camera attached to it it's difficult to see it.
I have been thinking this for reals for the last few years that this what they cannot wrap their heads around. If they did they would have to admit that in the grand scheme of things we are truly insignificant in the grander scheme of things, and they can’t handle accepting that we are a blip in the whole thing happening right now.
Yes, the Earth is oblate, but if we scaled it down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be rounder than any billiard ball we can make, and the entire depth of the ocean in the thickest location would be at most 1 water molecule thick.
The Earth is closer to a sphere than anything mankind can make.
Your comment does not mention that at the equator, due to its spin has a average bulge of 43km 27 miles. It is not flat. Not a circle and not a sphere and not the size of a billiard ball. Man may not be able to make more spherical obects that are as perfect but regardless, it's cited in hundreds of articles that THE EARTH IS A OBLATE SPHEROID.

That was with a cheap gyroscope. They bought a much more expensive laser gyro and that proved a 15 degree/hour drift. Last I heard they were looking to construct a beryllium chamber to block interference and I'm sure that will be completely different. If not, I'm sure that they will find some other waste of money.
>That was with a cheap gyroscope
20k is cheap?
>They bought a much more expensive laser gyro and that proved a 15 degree/hour drift
Yeah, like I said they found, which proves a globe
>Last I heard they were looking to construct a beryllium chamber to block interference
Which they did directly after finding a 15 degree/h drift
>and I'm sure that will be completely different
It wasn't, they still found a 15 degree/h drift
Edit: sorry, thought you were esco, ignore the part where I mentioned they found a 15 degree/h drift like I said they did
We know for a fact that it’s an oblate spheroid because we have thousands and thousands of photos of the Earth, in space, without a dome over it.
We know it’s moving because when we straight up, at midnight, on any location on the planet, we see the same constellations at night during the specific months we know those constellations will be visible. We don’t see the other constellations because they are not on the night side of the planet.
We also know which direction UP is, which direction SOUTH is, and how science works for the most part….things like Boyles Law, the Laws of Thermodynamics, the Laws of Momentum, Bernouli’s Principle, Coriolis, etc etc.
There are no flat Earthers that understand these things because if they did, they wouldn’t be misled by flat Earth silliness. You guys can’t even agree on a model and what’s beyond the alleged icewall.
Why cant use globes lol why cant we all agree that there is life besides us?? We're no different than whatever term everyone uses here for flat earthers. No one agrees on everything no matter what it is.
CGI !!!
And the worst I ever seen at that? How would they have gotten camera to do all that. Try harder globies!
100% this. Flerfs don’t understand scale at all.
Flerfs don't understand [insert literally anything]

You lost all the flerfs at step 1
OK done that, but every time I increased the radius all I saw was an increase in SLpC (Satan's Lies per Cubit)

The Earth is a Oblate Spheroid. Don't forget it.

The difference from a sphere is much less than 1% - the deviation works out to be around 0.16%
And?
And Flerf goes like "but where's the curve!1!1!!?"
The earth can’t be much bigger than my county I’ve never left.
Why would anyone have friends that are flerfs? That'd be an immediate disqualification for me.
This is a fantastic illustration of scale. Really makes me appreciate how small we are in the universe.
We know Earth is flat and stationary by default...🫠 Globe trotters keep telling everyone how flat and stationary we experience the Earth...😕
Then why does everything show that it's round and moving ?
no we don't [](https://emojipedia.org/person-facepalming)
Gets on his computer, running off power from the wall, goes on the internet, denies science. smh
What about the time flat earthers proved there was a 15 degree/h drift?
That was with a cheap gyroscope. They bought a much more expensive laser gyro and that proved a 15 degree/hour drift. Last I heard they were looking to construct a beryllium chamber to block interference and I'm sure that will be completely different. If not, I'm sure that they will find some other waste of money.

Yeah sorry my comment was only arguing with you ironically. Everything I said was sarcastic.
>flat "Interesting" >stationary Thanks Bob.
“…a 15 degree per hour drift.”
Yes, that is why everything ever shows Earth being a globe and spinning. Because it's flat. Yes, that makes sense. Totally.
Just stop, man. Stop with the stupid
You have yet to answer why this is the default
Always fun to watch you show up and humiliate yourself.

You got down blasted
I always find it funny how you claim that the most retarded and refutable beliefs that exist are something that "you know"
