Gravity settles water to equilibrium. On a round earth, equilibrium is curved

Yeah I understand. The properties of water just don't work that way though. Can you do a demo, or an analogous demo?

Well the second part of that is certainly true but I thought you were saying before that it is Big Gov that was hiding the fact that the Earth was actually flat and proactively creating loads of fake pictures and videos so we would all think it is a globe. For some reason. :dunno:

Or were you more saying that we should trust our visible surroundings only, and because neither of us have actually flown up high enough to confirm otherwise, we should hold to the assumption that everything is flat?

I am suggesting some of both. IE, I think that there is an intentional (At the highest level) conspiracy to cover and confuse the true nature of the physical world and also that we should trust our senses and intuitions that the world is flat. Again, I think the vast, vast majority of people, even those working for NASA, Space X and so on believe the earth is a spinning ball and aren't trying to deceive anyone.

I see. That is definitely clarifying. Thanks,

I should add that I also suspect that the handfuls of people who are in a position to deceive are themselves limited in their understanding as to the true nature of the physical world, having tested it's limits or at least the limits of what humans can currently achieve.

You're just asserting it though. There are no experiments you can point to that demonstrate it so far as I am aware.

First thing that comes to mind; I’m sure you’ve see a Foucault Pendulum before on a field trip or something. Those demonstrate that the earth is both spinning and round. It’s simple, visual and needs no math to understand it.
 
Thumbpicker you'd do well to listen to Von. ...Where were you when the foundations of Earth were laid?

Where were you when colloquial expressions and metaphors were invented. I mean that from the "bottom of my heart". Do you think my heart has a bottom and cares about things?

That's VonBonfire he thinks you can pray to dead people. I don't. Dead people aren't God.

All you can do in here is call names because you don't have the patience or actual working knowledge to form a coherent argument. Or maybe you just suck at essays and debate? You just get angry and pissed off and attack other people. You lost this argument days ago but hey, stop in for a cheap shot or two and then dip why don't you? :LOL:

Those are cool but I meant in regards to the curvature of water.
