A request for evidence.

@the first couple of pages, telling people the Rowbotham experiments prove the earth is flat.

I like the link you posted, here it from the FAQs. E:NaG

And a direct quote from that page, copied and pasted:

Rowbotham never adequately explains his alternative astronomy. If the Copernican theory so adequately explains planetary motions, why discard it, and what would he use in its place? What is the sun orbiting around once a day and how does it work like a spotlight, not a 'point source'? If the moon is self-luminous, what creates its phases? If gravity appears to work here on earth, why doesn't it apply to the celestial objects just a few hundred miles up?

To make his system work he had to throw out a great deal of science, including the scientific method itself, using instead what he calls a 'Zetetic' method. As far as I can see this is simply a license to employ circular reasoning (e.g., the earth is flat, hence we can see distant lighthouses, hence the earth is flat).

Please stop linking people outdated, not commonly accepted material that proves nothing.

Thanks!

Of course John Bruno Hare is perfectly qualified to pass such judgment.  After all, he is an experienced software designer, internet developer, and punk musician.

You learn the scientific method in like, third grade.

And I've read posts from FEers saying rowbotham's findings pretty much mean nothing.
