Flat Earth Debate / Several points....
« on: March 18, 2007, 09:25:50 PM »
I have brought this up many times before, and never gotten an answer. I have personally looked into my telescope, high-quality telescope, and seen several different planets. I can clearly see the curvature on them, especially Saturn and its rings. So supposedly all planets are flat? Wrong.

I have seen the moon VERY closely too, with my telescope. I can clearly see its curvature also. It's very obvious it's spherical. I may be wrong, but I believe part of the FE theory is that the moon is flat. That is obviously wrong.

Another thing, the ISS/space shuttles. I have seen the ISS many times in the sky, as well as a few space shuttles. Once my dad saw a shuttle in re-entry. Now, don't say "It's just a small light, that the government wants you to think is a shuttle!" If it was, I'd be able to see it a lot more, simply because it's actually in the earth's atmosphere, not in space, miles above me. So please explain this to me.

One last note. In the FE theory, the moon reflects light from the sun onto the earth, please correct me if I'm wrong. If this was so, the moon would be just as bright as the sun, so we'd never be able to look at it. Not at night, or when you can see it in the daytime (which you can, don't deny it ;)). Obviously, we can look at the moon whenever we feel like looking at it (assuming it's visible) so the moon CAN'T be a spotlight.

I haven't put a bunch of scientific crap thought into this, it's just simple stuff I thought up in two minutes. It's sad that I can disprove your theory so easily. :( Oh yeah! One more thing, there are a lot of websites that tell you when you can see the ISS, and, when a space shuttle has launched, when you can see it. So...are these more government conspiracists? Yeah, just thought I'd point that out. So please reasonably attempt to disprove these points. KBAI

Country, Hip-hop/rap, and comedy.

Anybody who likes country music is cool, unless they think the Earth is flat.

Rick James, you think your Rugby players could possibly COMPETE with our athletes? I'd like to see 'em try.  :twisted:

This is simple proof that proves that FE "Gravity" (I know you don't call it gravity) doesn't work. Correct me if I'm wrong, FE'ers believe that the Earth is moving upwards extremely fast, therefore giving the effect gravity does in a RE. But here's the thing, even for such a large object, the weight would have changed from a century ago, heck, less than that. Here's why: The world's population is rapidly increasing. Sure, there are plenty of people dying, but still. Not only that, but obesity is becoming much more common in the world, too. With so much more weight, this would have slowed down the Earth. Unless the conspiracists have lied about the population!


That's probably the dumbest statement ever recorded in the history of humanity.  You should write to the Guinness World Records and see if you can get your name in.


Actually, believing the Earth is flat is dumber. :)

Another FE'er will say, "Why does upon billions of celestial bodies is the Earth the only one that supports life?"

Lol, I like how you call the FAQ the FAG. 8-)

Thats funny, it looks 2D to me. Confused


It's not. :) Look at the color, it starts out darker in the middle and gets lighter the farther and farther out it goes out. It's like when you see a sphere it appears to be a circle, but the middle is darker and it gets lighter the further out it goes. Pwnt. :)

If you don't trust your own eyes when you look out your window at the flat earth, why should you trust an image provided by someone you've never met?


The Earth is so giant the curvature can't be seen by looking out your window, duh.

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: The gravity issue: a working FEmodel

At a fundamental level, the FAQ needs to be altered.

The universal accelerator question needs to be resolved and like all theories describing the state of how we and things operate, it should accomodate the latest thinking.

The reason that the FE has gravity is that it has mass, just like Newton suggested. We know this because it is possible to drill many miles down into the surface of the (Flat) Earth. Just because the planet is coin-shaped doesn't mean that it isn't supported by a significant solid mass.
It probably is a short cylinder, backed with a dense iron slab that is split into concentric rings. These rings will have increasing positive charge towards the logical centre, hence the location and offset of magnetic north. Oddly enough the other issue with these rings is their effect on solar radiation. At both the inside and outside extremities they are effective at deflecting much of the Sun's output hence the central cold pole and the circumferential one.

The last major issue is curvature, although the top of the cylinder is essentially flat some natural curvature is evident similar to the way a meniscus forms in a fluid in a test-tube, or a the head of a beer spills over the top of a glass. Its just on a much larger scale, so not actually evident to the naked eye, just in high altitude flight where the 'muffin-top' effect can be seen on the horizon.


You just wasted 15 minutes making all this up. Nice job!

So the government tricks him into believing that he lives in a non-existent country? Wow, he must be the stupid one, then.  :?

It seems it would be much colder in Australia and South America if the Earth were flat.

Guess our old friend Rick James does not exist then, if this is what your implying

No, I am saying that he doesn't live in Australia.


You're also saying he doesn't exist.

And by the way, that map you posted is 3D, lol.

If the sun gets farther away from Earth why do we see stars that are billions of miles away and we can't see the sun when it's much less?

I always kinda just KNEW that the Earth was a triangle.

The government is obviously not wanting us to know the real truth!

The last question is unknown.

Considering there are only 7 round planets that we've seen (8 counting Pluto) - I hardly think a 1 in 8 chance is that strange...


It's not just the planets, also the moons and stars. I think a 1 in billions is very strange indeed. There are only 8 known planets, so if you think about the conditions on Earth being the way they are--inhabitable by humans--THAT could be in a 1 in 8 chance.

Flat Earth Q&A / Space shuttle videos...
« on: November 14, 2006, 04:29:54 PM »
Whenever the space shuttles launch, there is a video on the news showing live coverage of the space shuttle while it's leaving the Earth. You can clearly see the land on the earth, and eventually the curvature of the earth. Soon you can also see the rockets fall off. So what did the government do to make this? Make thousands of frames with their "advanced computers" and make a perfect video? But the only thing that doesn't make sense this way, is that if you were near the launch pad you can see the shuttle do exactly what it is doing on the video. Hmm....pwned?
