Why dont they put a satellite with a camera in a stationary position so it can film the earth being round and not flat...

Why dont they put a satellite with a camera in a stationary position so it can film the earth being round and not flat as some suggest

they could hit the brakes at a good spot and let the thing take good video of the earths shape and rotation

Only a self shit eating moron believes in that “theory”

They literally have.

It's a matter of National Security. Fuck off Commie.

enough people believe it to make it a problem. im sick of hearing flat earthers. it needs to get resolved already.

They have tons of these. As far as the flat earth retards go, they're all "fake" and "in on it". Whatever "it" may be that would possibly be worth doing this for.

Have you ever heard of weather satellites?

What POSSIBLE motivation would any ody have to perpetuate a lie on this scale?

they already have. they're called geostationary weather satellites

the US has launched the GOES-R series of geostationary weather satellites that observe the US coasts constantly, the Japanese Himawari-8 satellite does the same thing for them. Other countries have their own.

I'm tired, feels like it's time for a nap guys. Yaaaawn.

Conspirationist spotted.
Step 1 : try to get more than 80 IQ.

Isn't it obvious? The globe industry has been booming ever since Earth was claimed to be round. All the scientists in 6 competing state funded space agencies are simply decieving the masses to milk them for all their money.

Cool. Didnt know this.

resolved many times.
But when you can't understand physics and mathematics... There's no hope.

by the way : Eratosthen proved the round and calculate his circonfery, 2400 years ago.....
with a fucking camel

is the website about the GOES satellites.

Geostationary satellites don't actually stay in one place, they would fall down on earth if they would.

>goes-r.gov/
yeah ive heard people say that. it just seems odd that you cant be stationary in space. if you did a reverse thrust or something. but i guess no matter what youd be affected by some gravity

???? Who told you that bullshit?

And just in case you arent trolling, but in fact monumentally stupid:

they do, however, stay in exactly one place above the earth's surface, by being a particular distance (35,786 km) away. At that exact distance, a satellite moving around the earth takes the same length of time to make one orbit, as the planet takes to rotate. Thus is remains directly over one spot.

Actually, If any object were to suddenly become stationary, it would appear to be flying away at incredible speed, because we are moving through the universe. The galaxy is moving. The solar system is moving. The earth is moving. This whole discussion is stupid for numerous reasons.

makes sense

Reference frame is beyond most of these people. You're wasting your time.

>they do, however, stay in exactly one place above the earth's surface
That satellite is still actually moving quite fast, regardless of it appearing to be in the same place. Dude isn't asking for it to be in the same place as compared to the earth, but probably the universe or something else.

I think they can comprehend it, just choose to not think about it because it makes stupid questions like this easier.

waiting on the "bottom of the clouds are flat/movement of the sun+moon/bedford level experiment/etc" flat earthers b8 proof to show up.

It depends on what frame of reference the object is stationary.

Part of what makes time travel an interesting thought experiment.

I shit out my magic turdis powered by handwavium to go back to 1 minute ago, the same coordinates, and I'm in space, earth's 13,200 km away - and that's just going by relative motion around Sag.A - I have no idea what the actual relative motion of the galaxy is, from any absolute zero point of the universe.

its pretty mind-boggling, really.

never thought of it like that. guess youd be in for a big surprise if you hadnt factored that into your device

>the same coordinates
Without a standardized, fixed frame of reference, this term is meaningless.

The earth isn't round. It's spherical you fucking moron. You're worse than flat-earthers.

could make for a really head-fucking sci-fi novel though.

"FTL travel? no, that's impossible. But we can use time travel to move from Earth to Sirius in -25 years if we align it right. "

I agree - and no such standard zero point exists, and it would be mind-bendlingly difficult to even assign such a position.

Singularities and expansion points really are messed up when you start thinking about them.

If you want to get technical, it is actually a Spherical disc, as it's equatorial diameter is greater than it's polar distance.

Just go watch the Live ISS feed on youtube?

I think you mean Oblate Spheroid.

In practical terms, the only way to make extraplanetary navigation viable, is to designate the the center of a revolving system (e.g. the Earth for planetary navigation, the sun for solar, and the galactic core for galaxy wide navigation) as a fixed point of reference.

I love you.

OP never gave an object of reference, so the only reasonable assumption would be he meant absolutely stationary. Which would be impossible to achieve.

You say since ancient greece and/or ancient egypt?

No. A reasonable assumption would be geostationary, which is quite possible.
Given the object to be observed serves as the reference point.

There is no evidence that will convince a flat earther. They're basically the creationists of planetary geometry.

>in a stationary position
they could put a livestreaming camera on the moon so we could see the earth 24 hours a day

Stationary relative to what?

The simplest but a very cumbersome way to prove roundness would be move a quarter of earths diameter in one direction, turn 90 degrees left, move another quarted diameter, turn 90 degrees left again and move another quarter of earths diameter.

If you ended very near to your starting point start thinking how could that happen?

They have, many, many times. It would be cool though to see stereoscopic cameras posited fairly distant from one another and pointed at the earth to try and get a nice 3D image.
