Red Bull stratos freefall debunked

Debate Information

Globers will just look for anything to the prove the Earth is a globe, including the Red Bull stratos freefall. I've already made debates explaining the geocentric sun and debates debunking NASA images and the moon landings. And now I will be writing a quick debunk for the redbull freefall

    Let me guess, you didnt read the whole thing? If you go through the images, you will see Earth going from Convex to FLAT.... or Convex to Concave. Which proves that the freefall was recorded using a GoPro fish eye lense, so it is not reliable evidence of a globe, if anything it proves the Earth is flat. However, you have no actual rebuttal to it, and also I never said that the Earth was a ball Rofl.

    So now that I've refuted NASA imagery, and now the red bull freefall, it seems you are now left with appeal to the stone and the good old the old edge argument. No flat Earther today believes you can fall of the edge, not even ancient flat Earthers believed that, but instead an ice wall or barrier

    Who said there was an edge?

    The fact that he is tired of using anecdotal/ad hominem fallacies, and wants to go back to red herring/appeal to the stone fallacies. CYD is also using appeal to the stone, but his buddy is the strawman fallacy rather than red herrings. They have no real rebuttal and are afraid to change their position, so they are left with fallacies and marking my comments as.... fallacy.

    In earlier days, it was theorized that a third body was set in the firmament, called Rahu. This body is apparently transparent, but even transparent bodies can block, or more specifically "bend" the light. My concern isn't trying to prove that some undetectable, invisible body exists. My main concern is proving that the earth isn't a spinning ball, so it is physically impossible for it to come directly between the sun and moon, blocking it's light, or more appropriately, turning it red, as with eclipses.



    Another curious thing that globe earth proponents virtually ignore is a phenomenon called selenelions.
    The fact that a horizontal eclipse or selenelion even exists seriously calls into question the origins of lunar eclipses.  A selenelion occurs when there is a lunar eclipse but the Moon and the Sun are both above the horizon.  This is not geometrically possible. Without bias, hopefully you have basic knowledge of geometry and how shadows work, watch this selenelion, that even the commentator can't explain because he is assuming his model correct.

    Oh God not another one with reading comprehension. "In earlier days, it was theorized that a third body was set in the firmament, called Rahu." My point is that the earth, being proved without axial rotation or curvature, cannot possibly come between the sun and the moon. As Sherlock Holmes said
    "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

    Oh God not another one with reading comprehension. "In earlier days, it was theorized that a third body was set in the firmament, called Rahu." My point is that the earth, being proved without axial rotation or curvature, cannot possibly come between the sun and the moon. As Sherlock Holmes said
    "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."



    I suspect that you (rather ironically) meant something along the lines of "not another one with reading incomprehension" 

    I read your post just fine. Rather than state what you believe causes the shadow yourself, you sidestepped into explaining what (some) other people have believed causes the shadow. This is not an answer to the question I asked, I'm sure fully aware of that.
    Are you aware that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character? Your quote came from the mind of Arthur Conan Doyle, a man who was fooled into thinking that Harry Houdini had magical powers (which eliminates the concept within that quote).

    Actually I mean reading comprehension problems, if you had reading incomprehension, we'd likely not be having this conversation, but I digress.

    You've ignored the fact that I've eliminated the possibility that the earth comes between the sun and the moon. What exactly does, I haven't presently decided from a lack of evidence. You tell me. What blocks the light of the sun on the moon in an eclipse?

    You haven't eliminated anything. 
    The Earth blocks the Sun and causes the shadow on the moon.

    I'm also curious as to what flat-earthers think the Sun actually is, because a giant light-radiant ball doesn't fit into the flat Earth model for a focused area of light only being shone on a limited area of the flat Earth at any one time.

    Well, I've eliminated the possibility for most people that have some knowledge in geometry and how shadows work. The moon and sun both being above the earth, if the earth were a ball coning between them, would cause the shadow to start at the bottom of the moon and move up. How else would you explain this? I can't rebut a nuh-uh.

    As for what it is, I like what Eric Dillard has to say about it. Though he does assume it's still 93 million miles away.

    You think that spherical objects, floating freely in space, have an up or down? Read your post out loud to yourself again and just try to imagine that.

    As for that guy Eric Dollard, I love how he kicks asteroid-sized holes in his own theory - He says the sun is invisible when viewed from outer space, giving off no light. He says the planets are all visible though (even though there's no light being cast on them).
    He also makes no comments on the shape of the Sun, which is what my question was about.
    You don't know what causes the shadow on the moon and you don't know what shape the Sun is (two things we can view from a distance), but you're adamant that the Earth (something we can't view from a distance) is flat?

    "You think that spherical objects, floating freely in space, have an up or down? Read your post out loud to yourself again and just try to imagine that."

    Yes, in relation to where the observer is, there is an up and down. I realize that the priests of heliocentrism has convinced you that there is no up and down but the observer is not in space. You're desperately dodging the obvious.

    "You don't know what causes the shadow on the moon and you don't know what shape the Sun is (two things we can view from a distance), but you're adamant that the Earth (something we can't view from a distance) is flat?"

    Yes. I know the earth is flat because I have empirically measured it to be so.

    If you've ever observed the moon's cycle, you'll have noticed that the shadow encroaches neither from the side nor the top or bottom, it comes in at an angle, slightly diagonal. This is because of the orientation of the Moon's orbit in relation to the Earth's axial rotation (this rotation is also at an angle).

    I have two questions for you, if you'd be so kind as to answer them;

    - How did you measure the Earth and would you mind sharing your calculations?
    - Purely out of curiosity, what do flat-earthers think makes the tide come in and go back out?

    We aren't talking about the moon's cycles, were talking about selenelions,  remember? As for your questions,  I'm pressed for time, can you refer back to the first page or so on this debate? If not I'll answer them asap.

    We were talking about the question I asked, which was what causes the shadow on the moon (commonly known as the phases of the moon, throughout each lunar cycle). You did try to bring the selenelion phenomenon in to it but that's not what we were talking about.

    Actually that is your red herring. From the last post and everything before, we were talking about what could possibly block the light from the sun on the moon. If you're suggesting that the earth causes the lunar phases, I'm going to need you to explain this phase.



    Since it is claimed that the selenelion is the earth blocking the light on the moon, I am generally on topic and you are persuing a red herring. 

    If you would be so kind as to finish this conversation or concede it before moving on to lunar phases, which quite literally have nothing to do with the earth.
