20150805 - Flat Earth Debate - Live Chat Thread

[mortalwombat]

there are rocket launch videos available online, with one continuous shot from take-off to orbit, etc. and you can clearly see the earth's curvature once the rocket is up there.
any kind of comeback that John would have to that, would beg the (rhetorical) question... smarter than a 5th grader?

[SaucyRossy]

John has never looked through a telescope and looked at the moons terminator line.

The geometric model is approximately the same as laid out in Martin Gardner's chapter on flat Earthers & Zion, Ill.

It's fun sometimes to construct alternate models of things in physics & other sciences that you know will ultimately run into contradictions, but you try to see how far you can take it & how little you can kludge it to make things fit.  See for instance the theory of darkons (quanta of negative energy, opposite of photons).

Let's make pancakes!

[Xitheron]

How can some of you not like this? This is train wreck radio gold!

Well as "out there" on the fringe of the fringe as this show is, we're talking about it..  We're on track to have over 60 pages of comments here, which hasn't happened since the Graham Hancock show

[=Schlyder=]

This retard reminds me of this kid.

This kid is just being a prick to entertain himself. We are losing the professor, so what will happen now? Just arguing with John?

[Claudius]

whats the website?

[ItsOver]

My question is...

If the Earth is flat like a pancake, does that make Mrs Butterworth God?

Damn, all this flat stuff is making me hungry for pancakes.  Happy pancakes.

[JamesMcDonald]

I blame Stanley Kubrick.

Exactly!  And pronounced "Coo-Brick", not "Cue-Brick"!   

[sydtron]

This professor sounds juat like Alan Arkin!!!!!

Now hes laughing. God bless this show! !!  I wish Art would do a periscope so we could see him pick up a half bottle of bourbon. Look at it. And then smash it on the floor. Lol

[Lt.Uhura]

For some strange reason I'm craving pancakes!

Edit:  haha ItsOver!  Me too!

[chad2wycked]

You can't measure shit Goebbels!

[b_dubb]

Russia is much larger than Canada. More than twice the size. It's a greater than less than thing.

Next up:  Michio Kaku will debate a man yelling at a light post in front of an abandoned Burger King.

[Rat-eating Hater]

It is painful to listen to this buffoon. I can't tell if it's an act or he is a nut with some crackpot religious belief. But enough already, it's bad radio.

Gardner debunk 90% of all the late night talk stuff we hear today by the early sixties

He could just send a GoPro up in a weather balloon, like civilians all over the world are doing now.

The flat earth guy is just having fun.  I am surprised the doctor is taking him seriously.

[Jocko Johnson]

If a train going to LA from NYC travels at 120mph, has 3000 miles to go...what magazines and newspapers  are they selling at the train station?

[Northcoaster]

I'm a proponent of the Pretzel-Earth theory. And the Sun is made of cheese dipping sauce.

[QuantumMystics]

Don't send your kids to grade 1. It's full of globe propaganda.

Full of a bunch of other propaganda though.....Hitler youth as inspiration of course, but that's another show....he sounds like a Solipsist at this point. He seems stuck with Canada inside of Russia....are Canadians secretly Russian agents? I know I just made a slight insult.

[doctor weird]

"well fuck YOU" ...<---my debate technique

[popple]

Jon during the break

[K_Dubb]

The Aussies are underneath holding on to the roots from the flat top for dear life. Jazzmunda...help us please.

Oh they're underneath?  If we all jump up and down can we wake up his kid?

[nextgen.fm]

"Wildest dreams"!!!!

I first heard it from Art!

[Noorynoid]

my brain gets flatter with each passing minute

Sure appears that way...

[rtz]

Art was so brain dead from the nonsense he almost slept through the break!
