Flat Earth Q&A / Re: BIG BANG.
« on: April 09, 2009, 04:08:49 PM »I know mass attracts each other
Well done. You have taken your first step towards rejecting Flat Earth nonsense.
Give him a round of applause everyone.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Dark matter is propelling the Earth so whats propelling the sun?
« on: April 09, 2009, 04:05:29 PM »The Mayans, Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and Chinese were all FE believers and none had any great difficulty charting those planets visible to the naked eye, nor agreeing to the basic motions of the heavens.
If this were the case its kinda telling that the Mayans could do it all those years back, yet none of you are capable of doing it here.

The Lounge / Re: I am an idiot
« on: April 09, 2009, 03:55:05 PM »Me: Bye!
Dad: Where are you going?
Me: Uni.
Dad: It's Easter Friday.
Me: Oh... do I have to?
Dad: You know I fuck your sweet tender ass every year on Easter Friday. This is how we give thanks to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Me: Daddy please be gentle.
Dad: I will son. I will.

Agreed.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Flat Earth News Story
« on: April 09, 2009, 03:50:06 PM »There are several people here who would be willing to give discussions if they can be located in time.
You've broken no forum rules so this is fine, and I hope you can find a volunteer.
You do realise he wants to interview you for teh lulz right?

Technology, Science & Alt Science / Re: Clarification on Gravity
« on: April 09, 2009, 03:44:36 PM »Gravity and gravitation are not the same thing. It's pretty hilarious that you are stating they're the same thing in this very thread.
It's pretty hilarious that you can insist that they're different. You lack a fundamental understanding of physics, which instead has been replaced by some kind of arbitrary syntax parser.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Shouldn't space flight be EASIER in FE?
« on: April 09, 2009, 03:39:54 PM »Don't need rocket. Use balloon.
You don't see the obvious flaw in that suggestion?
Do you?

Technology, Science & Alt Science / Re: Clarification on Gravity
« on: April 09, 2009, 01:04:41 PM »You're literally mixing things up. Gravity travels instantaneously across any distances. Special Relativity, however, prevents the Earth from ever traveling faster than the speed of light; it can accelerate forever and never reach c. Gravitation, as predicted by General Relativity, travels at c. Not gravity.
Wow what a crock of sh*t. Don't try and confuse people with your lame gobbledegook.
The words gravity and gravitation are interchangeable. If there were a difference, it would be that gravity decribes the earth alone, whereas gravitation describes any matter.
They both indicate an attraction between masses (or energy). That's something FE'ers have a hard time recognising.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: I'm sorry, what?
« on: April 09, 2009, 12:00:10 PM »LOL How do you cheat at D&D??
Add a 4D+4 broadsword to your inventory.
Pretend you rolled a triple 6.
Rub damage off your stat sheet.
It can and does happen. I know I have seen it. Be warned.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Ships at sea
« on: April 09, 2009, 11:17:53 AM »If the sea is flat, why can't we see 1,000 miles on a really clear day?First of all, air is not transparent. Secondly light has been observed to bend upwards.
First of all, the gas which makes up air is largely transparent. That's why we can see stuff numb nuts. On a clear day the limiting factor to the distance of observation is the horizon and not the opaqueness of the air.
Secondly... lol whut? Light doesn't bend.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Shouldn't space flight be EASIER in FE?
« on: April 09, 2009, 11:08:36 AM »And how big of a rocket would it take to continually accelerate at greater than 9.8 m/s^2 for 3000 miles?
Don't need rocket. Use balloon.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: DIY Experement: The Distance Between the Earth and the Moon
« on: April 09, 2009, 11:02:44 AM »Doesnt this assume a round earth in the first place?
No, but it does assume that light travels in straight lines.
Light actually does travel in straight lines.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Using science to fight science
« on: April 09, 2009, 08:28:33 AM »Lense vingetting is very often a problem in photography, and in layman terms that means that whenever you take a picture, the edges of it bend in towards the middle, less on an expensive lense, more on a cheaper, smaller lense.
Lense Vingetting is a function of the lense though, not the subject.
So a photo with the "curvature" in the lower half of the picture would actually include a curve going against the false curve caused by the lense.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Can someone explain the north pole to me?
« on: April 09, 2009, 08:17:31 AM »The research station does not exist.
How do you know this?

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: comet
« on: April 09, 2009, 08:10:56 AM »But nothing orbits the sun on the flat earth model! Do you have any proof of this satanic slander?!
Not true.[/quote]
Can you explain how planets work under a flat earth? In particular phases of venus, visible by any amateur astronomer, which reflect the light of the sun, so giving the location of the sun...

Flat Earth Debate / Re: High altitude aerial photographs.
« on: April 09, 2009, 08:05:01 AM »The photos are probably not photo shopped. Lens distortion on the other hand....more than likely.
You cannot see the "curvature" of the earth from any current commercial airliner.
Try Concorde.
(Yes I know concorde doesn't fly anymore, but when it did people saw the curvature)
What those photos may show is the spotlight of the sun shining down on the flat earth, which would appear to have round edges.
Your previous argument was that there is no perceptable curvature. Now you're saying there is curvature, and that is is the "spotlight" (huh?)
Make your mind up please.

Flat Earth Debate / Ships at sea
« on: April 09, 2009, 07:59:12 AM »
I can't see how the flat earth brigade explain the classic observation of ships at sea, where the masts are visible first, then the upper decks then the lower hull.
