200 Proofs that Eric Dubay is a liar and an idiot

“If Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference as NASA and modern astronomy claim, spherical trigonometry dictates the surface of all standing water must curve downward an easily measurable 8 inches per mile multiplied by the square of the distance. This means along a 6 mile channel of standing water, the Earth would dip 6 feet on either end from the central peak. Every time such experiments have been conducted, however, standing water has proven to be perfectly level.” A blatant lie I'll ignore the fact that Flat Earthers can't do trigonometry and still insist on quoting the incorrect figure of  "8 inches per mile multiplied by the square of the distance" even after having been corrected countless times. The claim that all experiments have have not shown the curvature of the earth on water is simply untrue.  What is true is that Flat Earthers continue to refuse to believe the results of experiment after experiment that have shown that the curvature exists....

“The natural physics of water is to find and maintain its level. If Earth were a giant sphere tilted, wobbling and hurdling through infinite space then truly flat, consistently level surfaces would not exist here. But since Earth is in fact an extended flat plane, this fundamental physical property of fluids finding and remaining level is consistent with experience and common sense.” Dubay does not understand gravity or the laws of motion a.       How can water be level on a sphere? Gravity exerts a force towards the centre of mass.  So on a spherical Earth, down is always towards the centre of the Earth.  This means that on a spherical Earth, the “level” of the water is its distance from the centre of the Earth.  That distance is the distance that allows the water to be as close as possible to the centre of the Earth. Here is an interesting video that explains in a little more detail than we need here what sea level is. b.    ...
