You ask me for a well thought out explanation, when you simply paste random assertions without any corroboration. I have addressed many of your examples elsewhere, so some of my responses will simply consist of links to those past discussions. [quote]Eratosthenes measuring the circumference and surface area through shadow proportions at different latitudes in BCE times.[/quote] Also works on a Flat earth: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/198236127?sort=0&page=0 [quote]Magellan's circumnavigation documented in 1500s.[/quote] Magellan used a compass. Using navigational points of reference just take you in wide circles around those points: ]https://wiki.tfes.org/Circumnavigation [quote]Isaac Newton proved the ellipsoid shape of earth in 1600s.[/quote] Oh yes! Everyone’s favorite intellectual god, worshiped by all. That clever alchemist who thought he could turn lead into gold or predict the end of the world using the bible. Anything else he proved? [quote]Global wind patterns and currents shown through daily atmospheric weather models indicate evidence of Earth's rotation.[/quote] Wind patterns are an EFFECT. Any given effect has multiple possible causes. Why do you jump to “cuz earth round” as an explanation? How about atmospheric pressure? [quote]The Foucoult Pendulum, when left undisturbed, appears to rotate 15°/hr. and knocks down a pin each hour, indicating rotation.[/quote] Ok. I actually liked this one, mainly because I’ve never heard of it. It is interesting. But again, a swinging pendulum is an EFFECT. Why do you assume that a spinning ball is the cause? Do you really just swallow what you are taught that easily? Check out the Allais Effect if you really want to expand your horizons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allais_effect Interesting how the article dismisses it though: “Well, we don’t see it when we have better experimental control”. “Control” anything enough, and you can get it to do (or not do) whatever you want. Talk about confirmation bias… [quote]The existence of high and low tides as a result of a heliocentric solar system, with the sun and moon exhibiting gravitational attraction with the earth. [/quote] Explained that already: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/206986418?sort=0&page=0 [quote]Star trail photographs documenting stars rising in east/setting in west through 12-hour exposure on old-timey cameras prove rotation.[/quote] Not really. Its all a matter of perspective: stars are smaller and much closer to earth’s surface, just like the sun and moon. They rotate above the surface of the earth. The patterns we see are simply the stars motion as they recede from our view, like a car moving away from us. [quote]Viewing different constellations in different seasons/hemispheres proves revolution and spherical shape.[/quote] As I just said, ITS PERSPECTIVE. Constellations of stars orbit above earth’s surface. They are only visible at certain times of the year. [quote]Magnetism with the poles, compasses, magnetic field prove spherical shape [/quote] Magnetism works just as well on a Flat earth. It only proves a round earth because you want it to. Take as step back and question you r assumptions for a change. [quote]Satellite evidence, although I guess you would argue they're fake[/quote] I bet they are fake. Why do you believe everything you see that is produced by a deceptive, profit driven government? [quote]Spherical shape of every other planet and object in our solar system visible through telescopes and in the clear night sky, logical reasoning.[/quote] That about as logical as saying “because all crows in my town (and all crows that I have ever seen) are black, no crows could possibly be white. Therefore, the crow I hear cawing in my garage (but that I have not seen yet) must necessarily be black.” You have never seen for yourself that the earth is round. Why do you assume so quickly that it must be round? [quote]Lunar phases proving our revolution around the sun[/quote] I have talked about this as well: [quote]Q. If earth is flat, how do you explain the lunar phases and lunar/solar eclipses? How do you explain the tides? A. This gif loosely illustrates how the sun and moon circle above the surface of earth. Remember: the sun, moon, and stars are smaller and much closer to the earth. In reality, their geometric relationship is constantly changing: both sun and moon "wobble" upward and downward as they circle the north pole (center of the disk). Their circular course is not locked as the gif illustrates: the sun's circular course widens and contracts, causing earth's seasons. The lunar phases depend upon the positions of the sun and moon, as well as the observers position on earth's surface.
