1. Compasses and GPS system rely on the hypothesis that the earth is round to keep you in a straight line. Since the hypothesis is false, the results are inaccurate, and you travel in a big circle, thus reaching your starting point eventually.
I'd like to see your math demonstrating this. It seems to me if you tryed to use spherical coodinate equations on a flat disc at some point it would drive you into the ground, instead of working perfectly with a round earth model.
Well, for example, a Riemann sphere is a compactification of the complex plane (plus an infinity). Any geometry you can do on the complex plane you can do on a Riemann sphere, and the angles even match up. A 2-D being on the complex plane would be unable to use math to show that he is not on the surface of a Riemann sphere, since the two are topologically identical manifolds.
I am guessing they did not cover Riemann spheres or compactifications in your school. This is proof of the conspiracy. I was home schooled and was taught the "forbidden" subjects of differential topology and non-Euclidean geometry.
2. There is nothing "under" the Earth. Space-time ends there - much as in modern cosmology it begins at the Big Bang. The idea that space is everywhere-differentiable is a myth propagated by various governments.
Why are the propagating the myth? for what reasons? what evidence do we have of a cover-up?
Because the blow to science would be huge. If the government came out and said they were wrong all these years, no one would believe in the big bang theory, or evolution, or any of the other fringe theories. If one goes down, they all go down. There are too many politicians involved in the coverup at this point..
3. Speed of light varies with distance from the Pole (there is only one obviously, so no need to say North), producing this effect.
The speed of light is the same no matter what. If it was slower or faster in relation to the poles, we would of discovered this by now. Nothing in known physics can speed up or slow down light, only change it's direction.
Apparently USA Today (which you will agree is not a disreputable magazine), does not agree with you:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/science/astro/2001-08-15-speed-of-light.htmYes, according to mainstream physicists, speed of light is NOT a constant, thus shooting down this part of the argument.
4. If you stand on a flat stage the gravity doesn't kill you, in fact it's about the same. Gravity is very much like magnetism, and magnets don't have to be round to work, do they?
Gravity is like magnetism only in that it is a force. It is ALWAYS attractive. The electro-magnetic field can be either attractive or respulsive. Gravity doesn't kill you when you stand on a flat stage because the earth is a large sphere, that looks kinda flat to the ordinary eye from the surface, that pulls you at about 1g towards it's center. If it were somekind of disc, this model would not work because gravity pulls towards a center point in a sphere, not a flat 2 dimensional plane.
Well, by your reasoning, if you connected the earth and moon with a rigid steel pole, the center of gravity of the entire system would be somewhere along the pole and you would fall up off the surface towards that point!
You are attracted to whatever is closest to you, in this case the ground right underneath your feet. Yes, the ground in Australia is also attracting you, but by a negligible factor.
