Flat Earth Debate / Re: Three different ways (out of many) to disprove FE

« on: June 12, 2008, 05:05:35 PM »

Gravity
FE: "the earth accelerates upwards"
RE: "a super-mysterious fabric, much like the force, that binds all things to existence bends around like it is playing twister and creates potholes where massive objects are attached, these potholes represent gravity because if you place a ball on the fabric, the ball will naturally gravitate roll down due to gravity fall into place because of gravity something but this fabric is super invisible and only comprehensible by super smart people like Einstein, which makes it true also gravitons"

Earths Heat
FE: "heat comes from beneath us"
RE: "heat comes from the sun, but the earth mostly gets heated from the inside out because light warps into the middle of earth and works it's way out. But all heat comes from the sun, except in the shade. But it's still really really hot in deep mines because they get a lot of sunlight."

Constant acceleration
FE: "We undergo constant acceleration upwards"
RE: "We undergo constant acceleration inwards, but even though the outer rim of earth is accelerating inwards it maintains it's shape because we stop accelerating when we are touching the ground, even though we still feel the force of acceleration working on us."

The oceans
FE: "The oceans stay in place because the earth is accelerating into them"
RE: "The oceans stay in place because, even though water is weightless in it's own medium, the oceans have a high pressure system of air above them that keeps the even higher pressure system of water below in place."

Global Warming
FE: "heat comes from beneath us, any reflective materials in the atmosphere would trap the heat inside."
RE: "heat comes from the sun, any reflective materials in the atmosphere would keep the heat of the sun out. Since this is not seen, global warming is actually climate change, and if anything changes it proves that both climate change happens, and the earth is round"

Earths Curve as a sum of its parts
FE: "The earth is flat, just like how it appears"
RE: "Even though the earth is flat everywhere, it is actually round due to large curvatures occurring in the earths surface in the deep unexplored areas of the ocean. This is where the curves must occur, because the earth is flat when I go outside."

Surface tension of individual water molecules
FE: "Works as demonstrated in modern journals."
RE: "Even though the fluid (gas, liquid) water molecules undergo constant gyroscopic acceleration due to the earths spin, the fact that these molecules should spin fast enough to counter their own magnetic field can be ignored because we have no theory to explain this"

Our atmosphere
FE: "it stays there because the earth accelerates into it."
RE: "As earth spins very rapidly, the atmosphere keeps from floating into space by grabbing the pertruding rods of earths merry go round very tightly."

Snowfall
FE: "It falls straight down (neglecting wind of course)"
RE: "It falls down and wedges tighter and tighter the closer to earth it gets but does not build up in higher densities at lower altitudes because of wind, and rainbow magic."

Extending planes
FE: "Neighbors can always level their homes with each other."
RE: "Neighbors cannot level their homes with each other, because that would prove that since the earth's curve is the sum of it's parts, it would be all level. So don't even try it, you will lose your home because of poor craftsmanship and you will die in a fire."

Gravitons
FE: "Don't exist."
RE: "They exist as unmeasurable, invisible, perfect things that are not matter or energy that travel at a speed defined by distance/0 and also make super-massive objects instantly change their acceleration without giving them any energy to do so."

Up
FE: "Is up."
RE: "Is up in the states, down in India, across in Belgium, forward in the antarctic, and whatever the states say in england. We have a table of conversions in the public library if that helps."

Shoe molding
FE: "Walking on a flat earth leads to flat shoe bottoms"
RE: "Yes, its true the average shoe bottom is flat. However, we are convinced that people who wear shoes do not live in the ares of the world where the earth has a curve."

This thread is over, people.

Fails on many points to correctly represent the views of REers.
Edit: Or, you know, some of them. Don't wanna speak for everybody here.

I mean, I see ice in the shape of a wall, but its not definitive. This is tough to prove, that could be an iceberg anywhere. An ice wall running consistantly around the edge of the world (Antarctica, whatever) lacks evidence, at least as far as I've seen.

I mean, we've been to Antarctica. Why didn't we see a wall/fall off the world?

You know, I agree. Why is it that nobody has never seen the Ice Wall? Its not like we've never been down there before. Honestly, I wanna go now just to see if its there. We should all organize a trip!

Brad?

Nope.

Edit: Roundy, I see ice and moutains, but I would by no means call that definitive. Though I can understand this is a tough thing to prove.

Those are all pictures of the ice wall (aka Antarctica).

If you think that Antarctica doesn't exist, I'd love to hear your arguments.  And I thought we had some far-out theories!

No, I don't think Antarctica doesn't exist, but I'm saying that ice and mountains do not an ice wall make. To clairify: does Antarcitca make up the ice wall? I thought that it was just supposed to be "sitting" on it, not composing it.
Also, proving Antarctica does not mean there is an ice wall. It means that said continent exists, which also works with RE. Doesn't say anything about an ice wall.

Fine dont watch it then.

Just watch K2. It is a documentary about people climbing over the ice wall.

Hollywood has all this documented if you just took a trip to the local video store you would know this already.

Only and idiot would need more proof then that.

Haha, are you serious? Obviously, everything from Hollywood is real. Just look at 2001: A Space Odyssey. That obviously all really happened and in the year 2001. Win for FE.
</sarcasm>
Hollywood movies is like unproof. Find something grounded in nonfiction. Isn't K2 a mountain? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2 that is nowhere near the location of the ice wall? Nice.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2_%28film%29
Specifically says that they are climbing the mountain. Everything you said was a joke right?

Just watch 8 Below. It is a documentary with Paul Walker (fast and the furious) and how sled dogs survive while living on the ice wall. It was in response to Tom Hanks making his documentary about Apollo 13.


Both films are opposing forces of the universe.

Wait, was anything in 8 Below actually about the Ice Wall? Do they make explicit references to it?
Also, a Disney movie doesn't validate the existance of an Ice Wall, for the record. Also, it could be any structure made of ice. Not nesseserily an ice wall all the way around the circumference of the world. You know what I mean...
