If you are photographing two objects there are two parameters of importance

Distance camera to object 1
Distance camera to object 2

By manipulating these you can make either object appear larger or smaller than the other. Add in the angle Of perspective and you have a third parameter that can change the perceived size of either object

A basic art book on perspective would clarify this.

gravity, before then people could fly Shocked

EDIT: Did some thinking Think :and searching:
and saw this video:

Don't agree with this image totally...
Some of the Earth is flat in the depths...

Also, Earth would have the appearance of a
more square look without the oceans, thus
having 4 flat sides (having 70% water) Idea

Here's a fun and educational video that flat earthers can cite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTMELHUAzSM

Even science hasn't quite figured out what gravity is. Newton was close, but apparently not spot on.

well crap, Ive been trying to flatten out some spots in the yard and I cant seem to get it just right.then I sold the bug after I bought a new ride and.... now I have more areas that are not flat due to driving across the yard to the carport that used to have the camper under it, but I sold the camper 2 months ago and the new car stays under that carport outta the sun...sorta. so I have a nice trail deeper in the un flat earth from driving there now....errrrrrrrrrrrrr. what even moron says this is a flat earth can kiss my.....and come over and make it flatt in my yard if there so sure it is flat.I will even provide the extra earth to fill it in and possibly a drink or 2. and if they happen to be a hot female I may even provide some cool sprinklers to help kool them off. Shocked Rolling Eyes and a few discussions on how to possibly keep he un flat earth flatter. and still be able to drive on it and play on it.

I've looked at this video numerous times. I'm now convinced that statements of Mike Hughes death from this incident is a conspiracy. Its a cover up to hide the fact that he was able to create a device to punch through the Earth's thin flat crust, and emerge on the other side.

I just hope someone quickly plugged that hole, so space kraken don't crawl through and enter our side of the planet. Razz

I don't think anyone will be able to quickly plug that hole. In fact I think it will be a long long time before it happens, if ever.

"And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time"


"Rocket Man" lyrics by Bernie Taupin, music by Elton John

Time dilation across time zones and the upper atmosphere is a known reality since the advent of GPS technology. It only gets weirder when one realizes that there are time bubbles and currents. The rabbit hole has no bottom.
Trust me.


But to answer the question
FAITH is blind belief and goD makes this shit up to test your faith duH!
It’s not what you know, but whom.

Pluto is not a planet.

Therefore, the earth is flat
