Thats because god doesn't exist.

Flat Earth Q&A / Falling from the sky

« on: February 15, 2007, 04:48:45 PM »

Once again, the mass of the air is also moving relatively to the mass of the earth. This makes it so you can still use the lift of the air to maintain altitude. For example: You're on a train, you're going fast. You jump. Do you fly backwards? The answer is no, because your speed is relative to the trains. Same thing applies here.

But you say that the earth is comming to us so your saying the earth is suffering from air friction?

You're assuming the earth is moving through the air and the air is not part of the earths mass, therefore both the earth and the air move at the same speed.

Even without air friction, you don't instantly jump to 9.8 m/ss. It would take one second.

You guys realize the flat-earth isn't accelerating? right? It would however, have a constant velocity of 9.81m/s^2 in the FE model. Acceleration implies we're speeding up all the time, which of course it not true.

1) How am I to disprove or even prove this? Do you want me to solve for the rotation period of earth using the assumed variables undoubtedly provided by those in on this entire conspiracy. Why would I use the mass of a round earth, or even the density?
2) Just under the false theorys.
3) Thanks for these links.
4) by going in a straight line
5) these have been explained multiple times

Flat Earth Q&A / What illuminates the other planets?

I can't postulate as to why the planets, sun, or moon do this. Maybe someone else here knows.

Flat Earth Q&A / What illuminates the other planets?

« on: February 11, 2007, 07:45:28 AM »

Their orbits are much wider than the sun is to the earth, so far in fact that at times they cannot be seen from earth, nor are they illuminated by the sun.

Of course since the earth is flat, why would you assume that other astrological models were similar. Since the earth is flat and the sun and moon  rotate around it, it would follow that the other planets are also flat and are much further 'above' our plane. In this way, they have light from the other side of the sun on them.

Flat Earth Q&A / The sun - Flat Disc??

« on: February 11, 2007, 07:35:22 AM »

Laser light is amplified in a way that stimulates the emission so that it is similar in wavelength, phase, and polarization. This can be explained by quantum mechanics; but these three traits allow the light to have a coherence to form a beam which is a laser.

Flat Earth Q&A / What illuminates the other planets?

« on: February 11, 2007, 07:30:34 AM »

Have you ever thought that the sun is bi-directional?

Yeah, I did actually.

By how does that account for all the planets to be illuminated at once.

I two ended tube of light would not illuminate everything.

All planets are not illuminated at once. Also, its not a cylinder.

Flat Earth Q&A / The sun - Flat Disc??

« on: February 11, 2007, 07:23:49 AM »

A light bulb is indeed 3 dimensional, but light travels both in the form of waves and particles. As they travel in waves, they spread outwards much like sound does. This being so, it does not matter if the surface is flat it will still cover a larger area than the sun itself.

No, take a desk lamp. Is the area on the wall light up the same diameter as the desk lamp? I think not.

Maybe we're trying to stop the institution from controlling our lives and spoon feeding us information. Never take anything someone tells you for fact, go out there and look it up yourself. Maybe we're trying to challenge your mind to form your own opinions, or convert you to what we know is the truth.

Well, they do have a bit of documentation in a few threads if you poke around, but it's all bascially crackpot theorys with no real emperical proof. Maybe they believe there is a second moon that orbits the earth too.

Mostly becuase the people behind these theories are infantly more reputable and have mathimatical backing.

You mean this thing:

In physics, the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle

You did notice the hypothetical part right?

And your point being? Is your theory any less hypothetical? Not to mention this one actually has mathimatical backing.

If you can give me an example of a locomotive "entity" that keeps the earth moving through space at your "9.81 m/s/s", I'll never post here again

We can explain the specifics of our universal acceleration force no better than you can explain your universal gravity.

We see the effects of said force - mainly the earth's constant upward acceleration - but beyond that, the details remain elusive. Exactly like gravity in the RE model.

There are four, which are alot better than a turtle.

    * The Schwarzschild solution, which describes spacetime surrounding a spherically symmetric non-rotating uncharged massive object. For compact enough objects, this solution generated a black hole with a central singularity.
    * The Reissner-Nordström solution, in which the central object has an electrical charge. For charges with a geometrized length which are less than the geometrized length of the mass of the object, this solution produces black holes with two event horizons.
    * The Kerr solution solution for rotating massive objects. This solution also produces black holes with multiple event horizons.
    * The cosmological Robertson-Walker solution, which predicts the expansion of the universe.

And there is always , where objects will be physically acceclerated towards the center of an object.
And there is even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_gravity

What about me.

Also, how would the sun orbit the earth if the suns mass is greater than the earths? Or is the sun flat too.

I have a few questions I would like answered, if you could. I've never been one to give into the man and just believe it when he tells me the earth is round, what proof do they have? I'm wondering if you could help me out though.

How do time zones work?
How does gravity work?

Thankyou,
