Flat Earth Q&A / Re: flat horizon means flat earth.....wrong!

« on: October 02, 2007, 07:23:10 AM »

*sigh* google earth isn't evidence you dimwit

didnŽt i mention it in the first post that this was only supposed to be a little example of how you can see flat horizon in round earth.....(since the 3D model of google earth is pretty much confirmed to be round  ).....i didnŽt mean it to be evidence in the first place...

read more carefully and atleast try to understand what post says before calling people dimwit..........dimwit!

Flat Earth Q&A / flat horizon means flat earth.....wrong!

« on: September 30, 2007, 04:49:40 PM »

now i know you guys dont accept google earth as proof....i am not even trying to proof anything with google earth. However this guy tom bishop seems to have "look out your window" as his only proof...but i am not entirely sure what his trying to proof with it. Its because i see flat horizon that i should belief earth is flat too? Thats just naive.....heres a pic i made with google earth: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/9812/googleearthpicwf7.png

now its just to show how you cant see the curvature from ground level...its not trying to really proof anything....just show that flat horizon is what you see in round earth because of earths size..

feel free to comment.....(and also try this out yourself as a experiment.....google earth is free  )

Flat Earth Q&A / "the conspiracy" doesnt make sence.

« on: September 27, 2007, 01:55:52 AM »

Now i just thought about this whole "conspiracy" thing and there is one thing that bugs me....
What are their motives? Now you are going to say "money of course".....yea, of course....its all about the money..well, its the money that doesnt make any sence to me. Why? Well first of all isnt it true there are alot easier ways of making money (especially if the government is involved)...i mean couldnt they just print the money? couldnt the conspiracy be around a secret money printing facility hidden in the desert?...nooo...they need to lie to the entire human race and setup all these fake space centers and fake all international communications and gps networks and fake satellite images and space flights....just to make MONEY. Second, what are they going to do with all those billions and billions of dollards they benefit out of all their troubles? sure...spend it.....but wait..they cant! If they would suddenly have billions to spend wouldnt the public notice? Also, where do they deposit all this cash.....not in any bank for sure...they would get busted. So they will all end up with a huge conspiracy in their hands and billions they cant spend on a secret account somewhere hidden...good job! They could only use very little at once so it doesnt seem they have any more cash than they are supposed to have....so the whole conspiracy kinda looses its point right? Also if the government is involved they could cheat cash out of so many different places the conspiracy wouldnt matter......they could have all the nice houses and planes and cars and whatever they would want....and a whole lots of extra cash for the occasional beer in the local bar.

so if this "conspiracy" has a motive it surely is not money.....but that is only my opinion

Flat Earth Q&A / ordering satellite images

« on: September 26, 2007, 04:43:37 AM »

How come it is possible to order satellite images for research purposes even thought satellites dont exist? You can easily say that international connections and gps network can be managed trough gps/radio towers and NASA pics are faked....but when YOU order a satellite image for YOURSELF for research....how come? I recently saw a document on tv about a research team that was trying to locate the source of oil rafts in the atlantic ocean....they ordered satellite images and used them to locate the oil rafts and therefor were able to locate the shipwreck that was leaking all the oil......alot of the pics were taken from such heights that airplane cannot possibly fly there (showing very large areas of the atlantic ocean).

i currenly dont have any of the material from the document in my hands, but ill try to find some...

here is a higher quality image of the view from concorde. I think this shows the curvature pretty well.

Flat Earth Q&A / concorde

« on: June 10, 2007, 03:42:22 AM »

" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

see this video and look especially the parts where the guy is filming the view from the window. concorde had much higher max cruise altitude compared to normal passenger aircraft (around 50.000ft (15km)). You can see small curvature in the horizon. This also kinda explains why nobody has seen the curvature from normal airplane, since they fly so much lower and the curvature is not that clear even from concorde (but still visible). There are alot of stories over the internet from people that have flown in concorde and they all say you could clearly see the curvature (do your own research).

So what do you guys think about this?

i live in lapland finland. During summer the sun shines 24/7.....during winter nights its very dark. explain how this happens in FE?

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: heh the pics are fake :P

« on: May 16, 2007, 01:13:14 AM »

These "fakes" happen to be the best pictures showing the earth, they are higher quality than the other pictures because they have been put together from a large amount of smaller images for max quality per area. Other pics that show the earth as a whole are much lighter quality because they are a single image taken very far away from earth. Thats my opinion. You guys can say they faked the images, but remember that billions of peoples truly believe (or more like, know!) the earth is round, and there is a very small handfull of people that actually do believe the earth is flat. What is the possibility that the FEŽers are right?

apparently those rockets get launched into the sky and crashed at sea.

i just have to ask this...how come nobody has ever seen such a big object crash? those things are huge...especially the shuttle carriers.

Let me get your theory straight.  If a large meteor impacts a larger object, gravity somehow manages to rearrange its mass?  How does this explain those potato shaped asteroids?

planets have formed slowly and asteroids are probably pieces from larger objects that have collided with each other. of cource, i am no expert.

EDIT: wikipedia explains that earth has formed from some kind of a huge dust cloud along with other planets in the solar system....moon is a piece of earth, originally detached by huge meteor impact (small planet) at the early stage of earth...these pieces (being very small, probably dust like) gathered and "made" the moon.

(of course you can try and deny wikipedia as a trusted source (being editable by anyone), but same kind of info can be found from my school books as well).

Flat Earth Q&A / my thoughts about flat earth

« on: May 15, 2007, 01:56:06 AM »

I assume that earth is round, because its logical. I do believe that satellites orbit the earth and ISS exists...why do you find it so hard to believe. So you believe earth is flat, is constanty going up and stars and moon etc. follow with it? Why, oh why, does this seem logical to you? I would also like to point out that basically flat earth questions physics...as einstein proved (or theorized, but i find this pretty much confirmed), bigger objects draw smaller objects towards itself(gravity), this way planets are formed from smaller pieces around a center point creating a round object. How did this flat earth formed? god? Also, if space flights are impossible, then why such technology exists? I mean space launches are not closed events and hundreds of peoples have seen rockets get launched....so are these empty and launched into pure...nothingness... ? I find flat earth hardly possible, i mean basically a conspiracy so big would be basically impossible to cover..someone would notice.

Also, you guys have probably seen jet fighters in flight, right? well look closely as they fly over. see the steam line they leave behind? It clearly curves...i dont think pilots would be intentionally flying their planes towards ground just to keep up some stupid pointless "so-called" conspiracy that the earth is round 

PS: how do you guys think aurora borealis happens?
