Flat Earth Debate / Re: Neptune does not exist

« on: May 09, 2009, 11:14:07 AM »

Is anyone saying Coruscant is a real planet?

No, but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

The picture of Coruscant would only be evidence of fakery if someone (NASA?) had tried to convince us that it was real.

Noone is trying to convince us its real.

Neptune is a (fairly) easily observable planet. Coruscant isn't.

This is why Wardogggggs post is 110% fail.

Ok. So what is this direct way to observe dark matter?

And once you tell us, we will call the Nobel Prize committee, you'll be receiving yours soon.

I look forward to my Nobel Prize.

I believe his point is that having a picture a something doesn't necessarily prove it's existence.  Images can be faked.

Is anyone saying Coruscant is a real planet?

Also,what does terrorism have to do with anything?

Because there's only a few terrorists trying to do something bad, and it takes a whole "army" to stop them (I'm talking about border control, and internal surveillance here, not battlefield stuff)

A terrorist (or in this case a journalist / media crew etc) only needs to "win" once. Homeland security (or in this case your a few planes and some radar) need to "win" every hour of every day.

Now look at the size of the ice wall. Think how you'll defend that with a few planes.

They have not been peer reviewed. This supports there invalidity.

Actually they have. Please PM tom bishop,he is a stanch defender of ENaG.

Actually they haven't. From Toms posts he seems to think that he can peer review anything he likes. Thus blessing it with some kind of holy water. He can't peer review things himself. He's not qualified to. A peer review also usually requires a number of experts in the field of study, not just one crackpot.

Also, peer reviews are usually completed at the time of publication. There in no paper which says "Earth not a Globe - by Samuel Rowbotham, Peer Reviewed by xxxx" Not produced at the time of production, not (legitimately) now.

Read Earth Not a Globe. It has many experiments that help prove our claims.

There's not one experiment in ENaG which is valid. Not one.

They have been peer-reviewed. This supports there validity.

Of course, there is no direct evidence of dark matter.

Yes there is.

Good try though.

I don't know what your point is. Maybe try words to make it.

Gravity doesn't make the earth special.
No,but the lack of gravitation does.

Except that the earth does not lack gravity.

Both of which are bullshit.
Could you please present why both of these are not valid claims?

Perspective is merely the apparent reduction in size of an object as it moves away from the observer. Objects beyond the horizon are still visible, and do not reduce in size but "fall" over the edge.

Therefore the observation of objects over the horizon cannot be explained by perspective alone. While perspective might explain the size of the object it will nto explain its position.

Bendy light defies many simple principles of physics. Check the FAQ for details, that's where it's refuted.

Have you even the remotest idea how huge the ice wall is supposed to be? A few planes and some radar couldnt guard the coastline of england, nevermind the "ice wall".
You noobs are really getting annoying with this one. The ice wall is not being assaulted with an army. At most it is nothing more then a stray boat. They don't have a need for 100000000 guards.

So you stop one stray boat with another stray boat. You're not aware of the principles of terrorism are you?

Um. You do know that there's direct evidence for dark matter right? It's not hypothetical at all.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: I am confused - No not in that way!

« on: May 08, 2009, 07:24:19 PM »

Now I am even more confused, I thought they were both meant to be 32 miles across!

Some believe that, yes, but I don't really think that would be possible, for the reasons you stated.

If the moon is further away, how can solar eclipses occur?

I prefer the elves idea.

Until we fully understand the mechanics and reasons behind gravitation,we will never know why the earth is "special". (The earth being flat is not the only way it is "special".)

Gravity doesn't make the earth special.

There are two theories behind this. One is the "bendy light" effect,and the other is that it is all a perspective effect. (I believe that ENaG explains this)

Both of which are bullshit.

I personally believe the ice wall is guarded by a few planes and some radar technology.

I mostly have Tom Bishop to thank. Him and his library of information in his signature.

Tom is truly a saint whose sage words have positively influenced a great many people.

I too rub Toms ballskin on my head daily. Its cooling action helps relieve stress.

I have read the FAQ. It does give me shake explanations supported by no evidence. What I asked for is proof.

The burden of proof is on you.

I think it is more coherent that other bendy light models. Even if you don't think this is true, you must admit it is wonderfully witty.

The reason light "scatters" is because it is made of scat. Like your picture shows.

Top marks.

I didn't know your father. Therefore it is not insensitive.

As near as I can figure, every person who has posted in this thread so far is a "round earther". The attitudes displayed in each response has caused me to forget which theory is the retarded one.

If it needs help eating or going to the bathroom then it's retarded.

I believe as long as the flat earth rotates it would still cause the Coriolis effect.
