Title: I would ask for proof.
Post by: flat_earth_debunker on July 31, 2018, 12:15:07 PM
          Let's begin with a question. Is the Earth flat? A question that people are oddly, still discussing. Whether you believe the earth is flat simply for religion, for the simplification for yourself, or you may just like to come up with conspiracy theory's, or you have scientific backing, even If I mentioned why you believe this or not, the question still stands. From You Tubers I have watched, to the forums on this site. One thing always seems to be lacking. Proof.

     So, I will ask a few questions and In return, If you so choose, You would respond with concrete evidence of the earth being flat. There are however, rules that I  have that I will bullet following this paragraph:

1. You must use Globe Earth physics. Every other scientist put down in history, used physics available at the time, and dared to use those physics to create explanations of seemingly complex things.

2. If you choose to send video or photographic evidence, It must be a fair resolution.

3. Within this sub forum, N.A.S.A. and the Government/Army have nothing to do with anything. There is simply no scientific backing to what you think they have done. This is only directed at those people out there that use these people as backing or evidence of a flat earth.

4. If the technology does not exist, Do not try to use it in your explanation. With out the actual technology there is no telling how it would actually operate.

That sums up my rules. Now, if you are still intrigued it's time for the questions I would enjoy having civilized answers for.
I will, again, bullet them:

1.)The Ice wall

2.)Science of the waves blocking the Ice wall

3.)Why are other celestial bodies round, not flat?

4.)Do many of you recognize the common Universal model, or do you recognize a different model?

5.)How could millions keep a secret about Australia?

6.)Horizon
6a.)boat disappearance
6b.) bridges following earth curvature

7.)If you believe in an Ice wall, how does gravity work?
7a.)If you believe gravity is actually a matter of density, how would air hold us down?

Those are all of my questions. If you did read this far, thank you, I appreciate it. If you want me to elaborate further, please let me know, I try to stay active at least once a week. If you wish to speak to me further, please let me know the best way to contact you and I will as soon as possible. I also ask for no rude or snarky comments as well as no swearing.
None of what I have posted is meant to be rude, just want to make sure that it's there.
    Thank you,

7.)If you believe in an Ice wall, how does gravity work?

That one is my favorite.

That one is my favorite.

I prefer 7a.  Some of the discussions on that are quite entertaining.

1. You must use Globe Earth physics. Every other scientist put down in history, used physics available at the time, and dared to use those physics to create explanations of seemingly complex things.
And more often than not the major discoveries came from refining or reinterpreting said physics. This is a bit of a silly condition, and omits probably the most interesting FE models.

Plus, if you actually care about answers, it's so much better to just go through questions one at a time. The number of new users who just pop by and spam half a dozen questions and then are never heard from again is absurd. FEers aren't robots programmed to respond 24/7, they're people with a finite amount of time and energy that most likely isn't going to be wasted on a spam of the same questions that've been answered countless times before.

5.)How could millions keep a secret about Australia?
Also, what?

There is no "Globe Earth Physics"
There is simply physics, it isn't dependent upon the shape of Earth, and more inclusively, it would be science.

A lot of scientists became famous for going against the accepted science of the time.
Some used observations to show that accepted science was wrong and provided an alternative which better matched observations.
Others didn't have old science to show was wrong and instead came up with new science.
Others used existing to show there was a contradiction and provided new physics which removed that.

Most of your "questions" aren't even questions. They are just points.
For example:
"The Ice wall"
What do you want here?
Does the ice wall cause a problem for FE?
Do you want evidence of its existence?

I would suggest making your points clear, indicate clearly if you are asking for evidence of a FE, a particular aspect of FE, an explanation of it, or an alleged problem with FE.

Also, don't put too much in one post. It can be seen as an attempt to bury in nonsense and can make discussion hard to follow.
