POTWR 2019 Vol 11: Can We All Test For Ourselves That The Earth Is Round?

Actually:
oblate spheroid

The oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis. It is the regular geometric shape that most nearly approximates the shape of the Earth. A spheroid describing the figure of the Earth or other celestial body is called a reference ellipsoid.

And according to your God:
Neil deGrasse Tyson says the earth is pear shaped.

So the earth isnt flat?
 
Nasa says it's an oblate spheroid and NDT says it's a peer. Who really knows? All the actual experiments show no curvature.

But what do you think.
 
It's tricky. We have "photos" from known liars on the one hand... and then we have the actual experiments on the other.

And from the information we have, and the way you interpret that information, you believe that tge earth is...
 
You all have a flat Earth thread...
Yeah, and they are scared enough of this topic that even though it was a POTWR thread, they had to dump it.

I just lol at the cowardice.
 
Gun to my head, I'll go with the known liars, but I'd love to see an experiment. We have had several since the late 1800s that all said the same thing.

You're telling me that it takes a gun to your head to say the Earth is round.

Yanno that shit hole town in Alabama? The one where all the stereotypes come from and has a population of 88 1/2. All of those people believe the Earth is round...

I know what you're thinking.. "88 1/2?" Yeah, you know the racist that fought in Nam and lost his legs? He lives there too.
 
hmmmmm...

Flight Dynamics Summary
1. Introduction
In this summary we examine the flight dynamics of aircraft. But before we do that, we must examine some basic ideas necessary to explore the secrets of flight dynamics....

To simplify it a bit, we have to make some simplifying assumptions. We assume that . . .

•There is a flat Earth. (The Earth’s curvature is zero.)

•There is a non-rotating Earth. (No Coriolis accelerations and such are present.)

3. CONCLUDING REMARKS

This report derives and defines a set of linearized system matrices for a rigid aircraft of constant mass, flying in a stationary atmosphere over a flat, nonrotating earth....

QUESTIONS:
Why are we teaching our best and brightest this stuff and why would NASA put so much time and money into something they 'know' is fake?
