Is Earth round or flat❓
The "blue marble" is an invention and NASA has in fact never taken a picture of the entire planet Earth. Each one of the pictures released over the years is unequivocally altered and the inconsistencies are undeniable: But don't take my word for it, here is NASA data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon, creator of the "blue marble": In the existing cloud map some people have noticed a few repeating features that appear photoshopped. They are. There are gaps between orbits near the equator, and there’s no way to fill them with real data. Compositing separate images into a convincing whole is (of course) easier said than done. Even with control of each layer in my image processing software (Photoshop) it took hours of tweaking and re-tweaking transparency, layer masks, hue, saturation, gaussian blur, and curves to get an image that looked like the picture I had in my head. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2011/10/06/crafting-the-blue-marble/ The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble. https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/robert-simmon-aka-mr-blue-marble/ -

Abortion
Police has nothing to do with it. Abortion has been legal in Thailand for several years. No need for "backroom procedures" nor for improper procedures. Medical abortion (taking tablets) and d&c (dilatation and curettage) are both done here. Abortion is done by doctors, in clinics or hospitals, staff is very caring. The places I named are the most obvious choices, there are others. But many doctors or hospitals won't do it, that's their personal choice. The posts above are misleading. And as I said before, it's walk-in service. No need to call first, just don't come after 3pm. The earlier, the better. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
Gravity is among the weakest of the forces known to Nature. Even weaker than.... The weakling on the beach. Still, the only reason that there is an Earth is due to gravity. The conglomeration of particles only happens due to the force of gravity. Also, during the mating season, the gravitational force between males and females causes procreation. Otherwise, neither you nor I would even be here. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
I don’t give much credence to Newton’s theory of gravity. Density is, I believe, the most probable theory (to the smart*sses: yes,if I jump off a building I will crash to the ground, because my body is denser than the surrounding air). The gravity idea, just as the Earth curvature idea, is riddled with contradictions and absurdities. Newton himself, according to David Wardlaw Scott, confessed that the explanation of the moon's action on the tides did not fit well with his theory of gravitation, which asserts that the larger object attracts the smaller (but the mass of the Moon is only one-eighth of that of the Earth). Why are lakes not affected by tides? Gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans to a spinning ball, yet weak enough that birds can still fly? -

War, Pro or Contra?
There were no wars declared last decades. Invasions only. Afghanistan invasion of US troops based on false pretext of 9/11, Iraq "war" based on that WMD BS etc. So legally if your country is not at the "war" you are as the citizen not obliged to "serve your country" [legally]. They'll have to use mercs and military groups, but cannot force you to "serve". Also, foot soldiers? They don't last long. Why bother? -

I don't see how this contradicts the level plane model. Please elaborate.
