The point is it orbited the round Earth and was the starting gun for the space race.

Flat Earth Q&A / This day in history
« on: January 04, 2007, 04:10:08 AM »
Sputnik 1 falls to Earth (1958)
Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite to be put into orbit. It was launched by the Soviet Union in October, 1957, and acted as the starting gun for the space race. The Sputnik, Russian for "travel companion," gathered data about the density of the upper layers of the atmosphere and the behavior of radio signals in the ionosphere. Sputnik 2, the second satellite to be put into orbit, was the first to carry a living creature.

I see your line of thought there, but the fact is that the universe is actually expanding, It's just the accelerating bit that I can't get my head around.
Me thinks we just might about be feeling the G force by now!

Objects lateral to you (the same distance to center), would be accelerating towards you. Assuming it was gravity pulling you, all objects outwards from you, or in front of you, would appear to be receeding, since you would be accelerating faster than anything further out, but any oject closer to center would be accelerating faster than you. So you would be flanked by blue shift, but ahead and behind would be red shifted.

And ever accelerating Dysfunction? This is true if you are a subscriber to the 'open universe' lobby. With that model we will eventually be shredded and all that will be left is ever diminishing clouds of gas. A beginning and an end.
I prefer to think of an oscillating universe a big bang and a big crunch repeated forever and ever.
As for suggesting accelerating bodies wandering off anything other than a straight path toward their destiny, that is absurd in the extreme!

Well that sounds ridiculous, not the expansion but more the acceleration!
Do you mean that the rate of star formation is accelerating or that the matter contained within the universe is accelerating ever outwards at a continuously increasing velocity?

Actually, it's known that the universe is expanding, however its expansion appears to be accelerating- which should be impossible because of gravity. Therefore, cosmologists have postulated "dark energy" as additional, unobserved energy that is powering this acceleration.

Interesting idea, but what makes you think that? Astronomers report that it is red shifted, which would suggest that it is moving away from us, not towards us.

The universe is not expanding, the universe is in chaos! The nearest galaxy to our own is Andromeda, which is in fact moving towards us, guess why? Gravity. The only reason that we have not been flung, at the speed of light, outside of the known universe is because of dark matter. The matter and gravity that holds us in close and ever changing proximity.
The Earth is fucking round you morons!

I always understood that the speculation of the exisence of dark matter was due to the fact that in the observable/visible universe there is insufficient matter to account for the gravity required to hold the universe together. In fact it falls short by some 95%.
Therefore by admitting the existence of dark matter/energy do you not also admit the existence of gravity?
Or is that only applicable in the RE model?

It would be fine if that were the case but unfortunately even the FE's cannot seem to agree on the actual shape of the Earth. Dogplatter maintains that it is a disc thosands of miles in diameter and yet the most learned of FE's, Dionysios, maintains it is rectangular in shape and has even provided a link to an ancient map.

In that particular model you would have to make 4 sharp left or right hand turns in order to go around the thing.
Or am I missing something here?

Flat Earth Q&A / Galilean moons
« on: August 16, 2006, 02:10:05 AM »
In the news today: Scientists are about to announce 3 new planets in our solar system, Ceres, Charon and the temporarily named 2003UB313, taking the number of planets from 9 to 12.
Now why on Earth would they want to do that, what possible benefit will this offer to the conspiracy theory?
It just makes matters more complicated, why would they want to do that?

« on: August 10, 2006, 07:17:44 AM »
If the Earth is in a constant state of acceleration surely we would come to a point where we encounter light speed. Travelling at 1g is accelerating and is therefore not a constant. Velocity is a constant eg, travelling at 100 kph.
~9.8 metres/sec/sec = acceleration = increase in the change in the rate of velocity.
By this assumption we will soon be overtaking the light emitted from the sun!

Ferdinand Magellan Sets Sail to Circumnavigate Globe (1519)
Magellan's expedition sailed down the South American coast, through the Straight of Magellan, and across the Pacific Ocean, which Magellan himself named. The voyage proved definitively the roundness of the earth and revealed the Americas as a new world, separate from Asia. Though Magellan is often credited with being the first to circle the globe, he himself died in the Philippines and never returned to Europe.

Flat Earth Q&A / Tides follow the moon
« on: August 10, 2006, 05:55:32 AM »Quote
I can see why this is thought to be true. In actual fact, both the Moon and tides are subject to the same force, which is why they appear to be related. That force is the evaporative power of the Sun. When the Sun shines over a portion of ocean, locally negligible (but very large in total) amounts of water evaporate. The "gap" causes predictable sloshing as the water on the Moon side fills the gap. When the Sun "sets", the water condenses, causing a combination of rainfall and sloshing.
Do you read all of your theories in a book or do you make it up as you go along?

The Earth does not rotate. Why would it?
It rotates once every 24 hours hence we get dawn/ daylight/dusk/night.
Not to difficult to come to terms with that is it?

The motive:
Is it not clear? You respond to a ridiculous theory and actually try to debate and discuss, they gain massive amounts of hits. None of these arses believe the Earth is flat, except for maybe one person who immediately throws his toys out of the pram when you actually corner him!
By the way, I am a government agent and I am trying to confound you all!

Did you use stretcher of Flemish bond or did you just carve it out of solid? The reason I ask is I find it difficult to visualise how you managed to store such a large lump of ice in your freezer.
