C’mon, man. Don’t be a moron. This isn’t even an interesting argument.

Do you honestly believe that millions of scientists throughout history and countless government officials have worked together to hide some grand truth for… reasons?

First, nothing remains a secret if more than one person knows about it. Second, why? Who benefits from such a preposterous lie? What motive would they have to trick you?

They’re both being proposed for transporting people from Earth to Mars. Same use case.

I mean this is obviously false. A quick Google search will tell you otherwise. You can just look at live feeds from the ISS that you can tell aren't taken with a fish eye lense because the visible parts of the station aren't distorted.

Edit: hell, if you really wanted to you could buy a weather balloon and send up your own non fish eye camera to the edge of space. I wouldn't do it over the USA right now but still.

You can't fix stupid. There is no argument in the world that will change their mind.

Yeah, im in the same camp, kinda. I think those theories are pretty neat and would be cool if true, but i cant bring myself to believe them lol. I would love to be convinced that there is more to this existence than the official narrative.

We are certainly not living inside of the Earth. But the Earth is very likely more hollow than we think and it's not impossible there's unknown beings living inside. Maybe even intelligent.

The fact that your beliefs are so unstable and you’re so easily manipulated that you’ve been halfway convinced the earth 🌎 is goddamn hollow should be cause for extreme concern for your own psychological well-being. If you’re susceptible to something as whacko as that then any random demagogue can make you believe anything.

How do you expect to convince him otherwise when you yourself seem to be on the fence about it?

How about being able to see other planets through an amateur telescope and even some of their moons? Or how would satellites work? Or why the hugest undertaking ever to cover up the fact we are inside a planet when it would have just been part of our natural history...

Lots of Logical disconnects in the hollow earth theory. Especially the fact that It probably would collapse under it own weight...

Maybe let him be with the beliefs he has as it doesn't harm him or anyone else in any context? With time maybe he might discover the answers by his own..

There's no evidence of that. That's pure speculation at best, but a better name for it would be a lie.

Fish eye lenses have a very distinct warping effect. You can tell when they are being used.

How far can you two travel? Does the friend trust someone who lives at a different latitude? You could observe the changing tilt of the moon and which stars are visible from where. That's enough to demonstrate why a globe explains the most.

That's not how it works.

You bring us his arguments in favor of a hollow earth and we show you how they're not correct.

You know that’s the easiest and cheapest argument right? You can not debate someone who’s entire argument is “you’ve been lied to”.

Yeah I want to know why the Earth ( probably ) is not hollow so that I can explain it to him.

I think the problem is that the pictures use a fish eyed lense.

>However, he kept piling on some good points and he almost changed my views

Doesn't sound like it matters, only a matter of time til someone else comes along and has you drinking poison Kool aid.

He said that all of the photos of the earth were taken from a fish eyed lense.

Not really, I just have faith and trust the official story, I never really try to convince other people if they have some wild theories, I think it is pretty cool in a way,

I relaxed on this stuff when I realized I could not explain to anyone that the earth was not flat. If that was the official story id go... ok, and just keep living my life... E=ms2.. sure why not..lol

How about the fact that we've left the earth, taken pictures of it from space, and sent spacecraft millions of miles away from it? How could we do that if we were inside it?

Your friend is either willfully ignorant or messing with you.

You could start with his points, we weren't there.
