That's an excellent point. Maybe it would cut back on all the LOL EVERYTHING IS TEH CONSPIRACY!!1!!111!!! posts.
QuoteThe curvature really isn't that obvious. What can be obvious at the ocean, on a moderately cloudy day, is you can clearly see the clouds curve over the breadth of the sky.
No, that is not seen. Stop making things up.
Quote"Radar can’t be used to determine the distance to the Sun directly because the Sun doesn’t have a solid surface to reflect the radar efficiently."
We determined the distance to the sun by determining the distance between the Earth and Venus first.
Distance = (Speed of Light) X (Total Time)/2
“Astronomical Unit” = 92,955,820.5 miles (149,597,892 kilometers).
How does the distance between the Earth and Venus tell us the distance between the Earth and the Sun?
Venus is not the Sun.
Didn't we know the figure of the Astronomical Unit before Radar was invented?
If we landed on the moon, there would be two possibilities:
a) moon has same gravity as earth.
b) moon repels with same force as earth's gravity.
OK, just to clear up what Tom's trying to say; there is an ice wall at the coast of Antarctica but it's relatively small and just a shelf of ice. The Ice wall around the edge of the world has never been seen. In the below picture, the red circle represents the area of antarctica explored by man, the white ice extends further out. Debate is where it ends, Tom suggests it extends forever, other FEers say it is finite and there is an edge.
QuoteShocking development, with the invention of radar, some 60 years ago, scientist can measure all non gaseous planets (obviously the radar energy has to bounce back from something solid) distance from Earth down to oh I don't know, down to an inch. Unless radar is also a hoax invented by all 200 some governments of Earth
Radar cannot bounce off the sun. The sun emits so much of it already that any signal bounceback is lost. FALSE
So how else do we know the exact distance between the sun and earth? How did we figure out the distance of the Astronomical Unit?
Beyond the 150 foot Ice Wall is anyone's guess. How far the ice extends; how it terminates; and what exists beyond it, are questions to which no present human experience can reply. All we at present know is, that snow and hail, howling winds, and indescribable storms and hurricanes prevail; and that in every direction "human ingress is barred by unsealed escarpments of perpetual ice," extending farther than eye or telescope can penetrate, and becoming lost in gloom and darkness. Some hold that the tundra of ice and snow stretches forever eternally.

The Ice Wall is a natural formation, a thick mass of floating ice that is attached to land, formed from and fed by tongues of glaciers extending outward from deep within the uncharted tundra into sheltered waters. Where there are no strong currents, the ice becomes partly grounded on the sea bottom and attaches itself to rocks and islands. The wall is pushed forward into the sea by glacial pressure until its forward growth is terminated.
The entire coast of the Ice Wall is not one single complete wall, however. There are actually a series of thousand mile long walls, divided by Transantarctic Mountain Ranges up to 11,500 feet high. The weight of The Ice Walls are so enormous that they have literally pressed the land two thirds of a mile (one kilometer) into the earth. Under the massive forces of their own weight, the ice walls deform and drag themselves outward. Very large glaciers called ice streams flow through them continually, transporting ice from deep inland out to the sea.
Temperatures approach absolute zero the further one explores outwards. Exploration in this type of pitch black freezing environment is impossible for any man or machine. We live on a vast plane with an unknown diameter and an unknown depth. Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham held that knowing the true dimensions of the Earth is something which will be forever be unknowable by man.
I did not make an attempt to understand anything,There's your problem, Die Hard.
I know the site is bullshit and just had some time and posted to make sure Bishop knew how much of a moron he is. You dont remember thanks to drugs? Okay.....good for you kid.
All the proof I'll ever need.
Taken this month.
MAJOR HINT
Tom bishop is kidding. Yes that is right he is definitely fucking with you. And wanna know the kicker? He might not even be a person. I think there is a chance it is an automated bot. If that is true then i really do have to laugh at you harder. (though it probably isn't, mids had a conspiracy theory streak in him a mile wide).
So audios retards.
Oh he goes for it, but still comes off as an idiot.lol he shoots, and misses the point by a mile.
Instead of spending the time going OMG THIS IS SO WRONG CAN"T YOU GUYS READ ROFL. Maybe you should have delved into the site and seen the lack of a single FE believer who is not a troll.
??
Being on the outside of an inside joke isn't fun is it?
LOL@stupid newbs.

I gots an idear: try to prove them wrong.
To waste your time FURTHER you create a profile, upload an avatar, start a thread and post 2 fairly large paragraphs into it.
