are you talking about the side of the earth that is not being illuminated by the sun?

I said all photos of the ball earth are composites. You posted this as proof they are not all composites. It's a partial photo of earth. Show me the ball without composites.

I believe strongly that everyone has a right to "own" their own mind by evaluating evidence and coming to their own conclusions. I can see how being challenged by a layman might be offensive to someone who has dedicated their lives to studying something. But on the other hand, it appears that there is enough ambiguity and/or inconsistency (Perhaps by unfortunate chance) with this issue that taking another look at it has become somewhat popular.

But every time someone “takes a look at it”, as in actually tries to do an experiment, it keeps coming up with the earth being a sphere. Every single time.

I've come across numerous amateur experiments that show otherwise. For example using a telescope to bring back into focus ships that had supposedly sailed over the horizon, photographing Chicago from Michigan, balloon footage at altitude, rockets and so on.

none of those are experiments

I don't even know how to begin to respond to this lack of complete understanding. Even with your views you should get that there's a light and dark side.
 
@Dan Gleesak regarding that line of sight microwave transmission at 150 miles:

"Antennas used in microwave links are highly directional, which means they tightly focus the transmitted energy, and receive energy mainly from one specific direction. This contrasts with antennas used in many other communications systems, such as broadcasting. By directing the transmitter’s energy where it's needed—toward the receiver—and by concentrating the received signal, this characteristic of microwave antennas allows communication over long distances using small amounts of power.

Between the link’s antennas lies another vital element of the microwave link—the path taken by the signal through the earth’s atmosphere. A clear path is critical to the microwave link’s success. Since microwaves travel in essentially straight lines, man-made obstacles (including possible future construction) that might block the signal must either be overcome by tall antenna structures or avoided altogether. Natural obstacles also exist. Flat terrain can create undesirable reflections, precipitation can absorb or scatter some of the microwave energy, and the emergence of foliage in the spring can weaken a marginally strong signal, which had been adequate when the trees were bare in the winter. Engineers must take all the existing and potential problems into account when designing a microwave link."

Also not an experiment

My "views" are we don't know what the true shape is. It's meant to be a mystery. Hence, we live a in a realm.

If it's a ball, and one side is lit up all the time during daylight hours, where is my full color, ball earth in totality, non-composite picture? I mean, they only been up there how many decades supposedly? You'd think there would be literally thousands upon thousands of very high resolution single image photos available yet you are struggling to find even one. Because it's bullshit my brother.

You can't "win" the debate, get frustrated, and turn to cursing and name calling. Every time.

There is no debate. Just insanity, stupidity or both from you two. It's not like a political issue where you can have a differing opinion because people have different goals. You both wilfully ignore reality and all the evidence before your very eyes. This is hard fact. You are therefore delusional and ought to be in the funny farm.

It's just your opinion that it's a hard fact. You've never been to outer space or seen a ball earth. It's been so thoroughly drilled into you head that it boggles your mind that someone else might not believe it.
 
@Dan Gleesak
I was going to start a new topic, but since we're both pretty active in this one I'll do it here.
I want to apologize for being overly harsh towards you about the pet thing. Animal cruelty is a hot button topic for me and I got pissed at the jokes that were being made by several. I said something to the collective, but didn't come down as hard with that as I did directed at you. I didn't intend to single you out. I think you just happened to get caught in the crosshairs. That's no excuse though, you didn't deserve any of it, and again I do apologize. I hope you'll be cool with conversing with each other (assuming you don't mind the occasional generic back and forth ripping that happens in OTC).

What pet thing? Doesn't Dan like doggos? @Dan Gleesak How's the pup btw?
