Flat Earth Debate / Astronomy

« on: May 10, 2007, 08:44:24 PM »

If the earth is flat and is moving upwards, how do certain starts rise up above the 'edge' of the world during the night time cycle into our view?

Also, please don't delete my topics. Thanks.

Edit: I find it strange that Ulrich Omega thought up of this a mere fourty minutes before I posted this.

I suspect that he is secretly me.

so it reflects sunlight?

Yes.

What's the sun made of?

This was discussed in another thread. The most likely substance is feta.

The sunS are made of hydrogen and helium.

What other suns? And in regard to your other post, there is such thing as typos m'dear.

There are seven small suns above our local area, not one big Sun.

Then why do I see only one?

Because there is only one sun visible from any given point on the surface of our local area. Other areas can have more than one visible, or none. It's very variable and depends on the local geometry.

Where can you see two suns? One would think that news would get around.

Only in other lands, not in this local area. Nowhere in the seven continents can you see two suns.

Then how do you know there are multiple suns?

Because frmo a high altitude you can see all those suns.

those taxpayers whose money went into at least 2 multi-million dollar probes that have gon missing or crashed into a panet becasue someone had misplaced a hyphen.

really, i know plenty of people who think we should downsize nasa to a model rocket company and put that moneytowards social security or findind a cure for cancer.

There is no such thing as cancer. That's another conspiracy. We actually live in a virtual Utopia - poverty, war, hunger, bad morals, the Red Sox winning the world series, and money are all government conspiracies. I've never seen a dollar in my life.

suppose the earth really is flat, then explain to me why the government would hide it.  It's not that big of a deal?

Because if we reject things that seem so concrete in our society, then they will fear we will reject other "truths". This could lead to civil unrest.

Exactly. For more information on civil unrest, please read my book, Cookies: Not a Snack for why the government has been lying to us for years about the nature of chocolate.

Exactly. Even evidence from chocolate can show us how the government would conceal the smallest details.

OHOHOHO, my naive friend. It's not that cookies don't include chocolate... it's that they DO include else that you won't want me to specify on.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: the ice wall and acceleration

« on: March 19, 2007, 05:04:15 PM »

If it is constantly accelerating, how is the air not being compacted to the point of combustion, or flowing over the edge of the flat earth and floating off into the void of space?

It doesn't flow off the edge of the Earth because there is a gigantic wall of ice and rock at the edge. It isn't being compacted to the point of combustion because the acceleration isn't high enough to raise it to that kind of pressure, far short of it in fact. If the Earth accelerating at 9.8m/s/s through space could compress air to the point of combustion, so could a stationary Earth with a gravitational constant of 9.8m/s/s. Remember, the effects of a constant acceleration and a gravitational field are locally indistinguishable according to relativity.

Air can move upwards? WE SHOULD ADD THIS NEW DISCOVERY TO THE FAQ!

Flat Earth Debate / Re: Several points....

« on: March 19, 2007, 04:38:10 PM »

I have set up an experiment to settle this argument.

Obtain a flat piece of cardboard, about two pounds of feta, something to suspend the feta from the ceiling (using the Force is optimal), and a flashlight.

Place the cardboard on the ground. Write "EARTH" in big, black letters on it so you don't forget what it represents. Ball up all the feta so that it is a rough sphere (lean towards ovoid for more accurate results). You may want to write "MOON" on this giant glob, but that'd ruin a LOT of really tasty cheese.

Make sure the room is dark. Suspend the Moon about the Earth. Shine the flashlight on the Moon. What do you seen?

Very little reflection! Feta reflects hardly any light at all, so both of your theories are obviously wrong.

It very well could be.

However, I am a RE'er and do not believe in such things.

But, if I were to guess...I would assume a legion of Gnomes are causing the acceleration by pushing up on the bottom of Earth with their jet-packs.

They use chunks of the ice-wall for fuel. Cold fusion.

But Magneto, that's right isn't it Frenchy? We don't want to make any mistakes with this thing.

Magneto bends the light from the sun into the moon and tricks us into believing that the Earth is round by providing us with two magnetic poles.

I have elaborated on Franc's explanation.

What are these "space mirrors"? There are no "space mirrors."

I have made a few observations to explain.
Space is black. Mirrors reflect things. The Space Mirrors reflect space. The Space Mirrors are therefore black. So they cannot be distinguished from the rest of the sky. Humans cannot SEE them. Therefore, they MUST exist.

Using basic math, you can calculate that H2O = Fe. Therefore, seen from a very long distance (~4000 miles), the spectrum shifts towards red, giving the ice wall, floor, and ceiling a reddish (or in this case, orange-ish) hue.
