. What you speak of is a mosaic animation it is not ‘actual’ video footage of the ‘whole’ earth or of it spinning.
There are several videos of it on the internet, they are real.
But if you don’t believe in those videos, you can assemble your own.
Videos are just a sequence of frames, nothing more.
Mosaic is an aggregation of images to form a bigger one. The only satellites that I had access to, you can see the earth spinning from very closely (it is called Low Earth Orbit), you have to capture several images to get a wider look and assemble them with a mosaic. They were build with the purpose to observe the earth surface, this is why they are closer to earth, those things costs a hell of money, and is extremely expensive send anything to space, so this is why people don’t put this kind satellites so far away just to give you a picture of the whole earth spinning. There are satellites specialized into observing the deep space, but they are targeting another direction.
I can’t help you brother, if you disqualify all sources that show it, and you don’t want to do it by your own, there is nothing that I can help you with.
Satellites are not in ‘orbit’ they are at high altitude attached to hot air balloons
High altitude balloons are no the same as satellites ! And even using these you can see the earth curvature. You can build one of these for about 600$ and see by yourself. Balloons use the logic of fluid density to “float”, satellites are far beyond that, they are really denser and can’t float, they had to keep a certain distance or they will “fall” to the earth, like a rock in the sky, there is nothing holding it, they are in a point of balance of its mass and the gravity of what they are orbiting (in this case earth), when this balance is disturbed (what can happen), they or start losing the orbit and going away from the object, or they start falling into the object. Some satellites that are meant to be kept in orbit for longer period of times have mechanisms to keep them in orbit for longer periods of time.
The logic is the following, NASA has a good source of material, if you want to ignore that, ok, Space X has a good source of material, you can ALSO ignore that, but you can access several other satellites, including private satellites and check it for yourself. Check it, and you will see with your own eyes. If you still don’t have a conclusive answer, you can build your own high altitude balloon and take pictures, if you still have doubts, you can build your own picosatellite and put it into space it is not cheap, I remember people speculating something between 50k-100k, but if you have the money you can take the evidence that you need.
Here is a link if you want to take a look and locate some satellites http://stuffin.space
Science is about something being understandable and reproducible, you sent a lot of youtube videos, and that is the point that I was talking about with Wizards Pupil, youtube has a lot of knowledge there, but people fail at reproducing the experiments, the same goes with published papers. Whatever you see, try it at home, take your conclusions, is easier just to swallow things, and takes a lot of time and effort to turn it into real science, but its worth. Even if “I know that I’m right”, is good to check it again and again. This is why is good to follow the footsteps of genius like Tesla and Newton, you feel in your bones their discoveries, isn’t only studying something from a book, is like to live that thing.
Take all points that you presented, collect evidence, and youtube videos aren’t evidence, go by yourself and observe the stars and take notes, observe the planets, observe everything and take notes, create some experiments, execute them and take notes. After that you have your conclusions, and if you did it right, it will be reproducible, so others can do the same and get the same results. When it is done, you will have a formal way to express your ideas, checked by people who also get the same results from the same experiments.
This is the beauty of science. Instead of watching 2 hours video about flat earth, in the same time you would finished the setup that will made possible to you to see the images of earth by yourself. And this is my point in the whole thread, is easier to be a spectator than an active person, and people waste far more time in the passive way than in the active way, whatever you believe in, go ahead and do your best to understand it, make all the experiments that you can.
