Flat Earth Q&A / Star Trails?
« on: August 29, 2010, 06:12:51 AM »
How do the stars rotate around both the north and south pole on a flat earth? This is easily tested by taking photographs in the northern & southern hemispheres of the night sky.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: The Moon does not appear flat
« on: August 09, 2010, 02:30:16 PM »There is simply no reason to suspect that the Moon is covered in mountains and valleys based on observatione none.
So how do you account for Bailey's Beads?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: UA vs gravity
« on: June 23, 2010, 01:46:26 PM »So much beating around the bushes and so few answers being given by the FE'ers. For instance, I would like the cavendish experiment explained to me.
There's also the Schiehallion experiment. I live just down the road from the mountain, so I guess in theory I could go and do the experiment myself.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Temperature of the crust
« on: June 23, 2010, 01:35:16 PM »Evidence? No one has yet shown that a temperature change in the crust doesn't happen.
Studies of thousands of points in the earth's crust have been made. There is no drop in temperature as you go south.

Also, it could be assumed that there is a thin and far reaching magma layer within the Earth.
Why would this matter?
Quote
No one has even shown, mathematically or otherwise, that there would be a noticeable drop in temperature between the two.
To what are you referring when you say "the two"?

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: ice wall still not explained.
« on: June 21, 2010, 01:27:06 PM »I'm new to this forum but I have been reading a few threads over the last few days, and it appears to me that one of the biggest problems with FET is that this ice wall is yet to be proved, and going by FET logic if nobody has seen this ice wall then it doesnt exist, so what is holding the sea or atmosphere in?
And how does a 150ft wall keep the atmosphere from spilling over the side? Its not like that's subject to the accelerating force.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Temperature of the crust
« on: June 21, 2010, 12:07:15 PM »ThisThe edges of the earth would be exposed to space.
in RE, every where you go, at a certain depth the temperature is pretty even, and stays that way the deeper you dig.
in FE, the further south you went and made an equal depth hole, you'd get a colder temperature due to loss of heat into space.
The difference would be completely negligible if the Earth had a large enough radius and none given the infinite earth model.
Do you consider this to be evidence that the earth is either infinite or stretches well beyond the proposed ice wall? Be careful how you answer this question, there is a follow up.

« on: June 21, 2010, 11:54:39 AM »How do you know that the temperature of the crust is in Antarctica, have you checked?
Why mention Antarctica? The effect should be noticeable long before you reach that far south.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Terminator of the Moon
« on: October 31, 2009, 10:35:30 AM »The Moon is certainly not a sphere, but yes, it does have a terminator. The Moon emits its own light, because of a bioluminescent array of matter on its surface. The systematic motions of the Moon's visible features are thought to be an artifact of the seasonal habits of the fauna inherent to its surface. For much of each month, a great part of the Moon is uninhabitable, but as soon as it again becomes available, life will return there. Libration occurs when the density of biomass is altered slightly to emphasise better areas of habitation.
And your evidence for this is?

« on: October 26, 2009, 01:29:31 PM »Are you saying that leaving a shutter open on a camera pointed at the night sky will not produce star trails?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that many star trial photos these days are done using multiple shorter exposure photos. Long exposure star trails are tough to pull off if you have a lighted object in the foreground.
You might want to have a word with contract_feral then:
alright see the circular pattern of the "stars"( i reckon it just a photoshop effect)

No, that doesn't answer my question, it merely explains how to make a star trails photo more artistic.

That is an excellent, not to mention falsifiable, idea, and I can't think of how it could be refuted by FE supporters without them actually doing the experiment. I can only assume the silence is caused by them running off to do the experiment, after all, if it works, they've proved thir hypothesis.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Temperature of the crust
« on: October 01, 2009, 02:54:40 PM »He's not talking about the infinite model - hes talking about areas yet to be discovered. Theres no telling how much landmass is beyond the Antarctic on the Cambridge model.QuoteThe FAQ doesn't say "known".
Obviously it's not referring to the "unknown" earth.
So you're supporting the infinite earth model?
Does every flat earther feel this way?
What part of "unknown" do you have trouble understanding?
Because if it isn't infinite, my original & unaddressed point still stands.
It would have to be quite staggeringly large for there not to be a temperature gradient.
And if we're not in the middle of it, there would be an offset temperature gradient as well.

« on: September 30, 2009, 01:32:25 AM »So can no one respond to my original post? Its a pretty damning piece of evidence against flat earth after all.My response answered your OP. An infinite plane would have a core and crust similar to that of a RE.
That only applies to the infinite plane model. According to the FAQ there is an alternative:QuoteQ: "What is the circumference and diameter of the Earth?"
Circumference: 78,225 miles
Diameter: 24,900 miles
I want to hear from those who support that model, but they seem to be very quiet.
Those are the dimensions of the known earth.

Ok, nobody responded realistically to my point. They went off on one about something off topic for a couple of pages.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Temperature of the crust
« on: September 27, 2009, 07:13:43 AM »Markjo, I expected better from you...
The surface is damn cold down there, yes. But when you get into the crust, there's no significant temperature difference compared to equatorial crust.
Thermal gradient is pretty much constant wherever you go.
How do you know? Have you checked?
It would be a pretty solid piece of evidence to support flat earth if the opposite was true - maybe you should check yourself.
Although the seismic data alone would suggest the temperature doesn't decrease as you go south.

Thank you.
Now, can anyone tell me why the temperature of the crust doesn't decrease as you go south?
Likewise, the maximum depth of earthquakes should increase as you go south thanks to the increased brittleness of the crust, yet it doesn't. Why not?

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Temperature of the crust
« on: September 26, 2009, 03:48:09 PM »If the earth is flat, why isn't the crust cooler as you go south? It should radiate heat into space while the northern regions should be better insulated leading to a difference in heat, but there isn't one.
Antarctica is about as far south as you can go, and from what I've been told, it gets pretty cold down there.
Oh really? The temperature of the crust decreases does it? Or are you talking about the atmosphere?
