Hi Earthlings
Recently, there has been an increasing number
of people who believe that the Earth is not
round but flat.
After having a closer look at the declare
from the flat-Earth enthusiasts, though the
ideas are innovative, interesting and creative.
But the fact that Earth is a sphere still
cannot be rejected.
Here are pieces of evidence, that can prove
that the Earth is definitely not flat but
spherical.
First of all, let us see how humans observe
the Earth from space through satellites.
In 1961, Yuri Gaga rin, became the first man,
to orbit the round Earth with only 108 minutes
in space.
Later, 24 astronomy have visited the moon,
after Yuri Gagarin.
They were staring at the round, pale blue
Earth at 25 thousand miles away.
Also, according to the findings of Space probe
launch by humans, the Moon, the Earth, and
the other planet are all in a spherical shape.
None of them are flat!
Second is the varying of star constellations.
This observation was originally made by Aristotle
who declared the Earth was round by judging
from the different constellations one sees
while moving away from the equator.
After returning from a trip to Egypt, Aristotle
noted that there are stars seen in Egypt and
Cyprus, which are not seen in the northerly
regions.
This phenomenon can only be explained if humans
were viewing the stars from a round surface.
Therefore, he was claiming that the sphere
of the Earth is of no great size, for otherwise,
the effect of so slight a change of place
would not be quickly apparent.
This is proven when the farther you go from
the equator, the farther the known constellations
go towards the horizon, to be replaced by
different stars.
This would not have happened if the world
was flat.
Next, Ships and the horizon
A more easy way to understand.
You can just go next to a port, or just strolled
down a beach and stared off vacantly into
the horizon, then, you might have noticed
a very interesting phenomenon: Approaching
ships do not just appear out of the horizon,
like they should have if the world was flat,
but rather seem to emerge from beneath the
sea.
The reason ships appear as if they “emerge
from the waves” is because the world is
not flat, It’s round.
Evidence number four, Seeing farther from
a higher place.
Standing on a flat plateau, you look ahead
toward the horizon.
Strain your eyes, then take out your favorite
binoculars and stare through them, as far
as your eyes with the help of the binocular
lenses can see.
Next, climb up the closest tree, the higher
the better, just be careful not to fall down.
Then look again, strain your eyes, and stare
through the binoculars out to the horizon.
You will notice that the higher up you climb,
the farther you will see.
Usually, we tend to relate this to Earthly
obstacles, like the fact we have houses or
other trees obstructing our vision on the
ground and climbing upwards, we have a clearer
view.
But, that’s not the true reason.
Even if you stood on a completely clear plateau
with no obstacles between you and the horizon,
you would see much farther from the greater
height than you would on the ground.
This phenomenon is caused by the curvature
of the Earth as well, and would not happen
if the Earth was flat.
Last but not least, photo and video worth
a thousand words.
Let us see some of the photos get from satellites,
but if you still think that the photo is not
trustworthy any people may fake it, here is
a video recorded by a youtuber using go pro.
Having an open mind about every possibility
is good but we should not simply accept everything
that sounds like it does makes sense but instead,
we should question and try to find out the
truth by doing research.
Multiple kinds of research have been done
for so long and even humans themselves have
gone to space, still, there are people that
do not accept the fact that the Earth is round.
If you still think that the Earth is flat,
please try to find evidence that cannot be
rebutted but not just sitting in front of
the desk and saying that the Earth is flat
without substantial evidence.
Thanks for watching.
