FREAKING ANSWER ME!!!
« on: April 23, 2007, 02:37:58 PM »
Both these link to topics requiring answers. A lack of answers following this post only confirms that there is no answer and Flat Earth Theory is false. >:(

The first link starts at the first post after the last FE response:
http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=12849.msg187735#msg187735

This has been completely ignored. I have posted one previous topic regarding the lack of response as well as sending private messages.

If I was asked to imagine a perfect deity, I would never invent one that suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Christians get points for originality there.

My GOD! Okay. Fine. Shave off the details.

The sun is too small to have fusion that had to have lasted for the past 4.5 billion years.

Gravity is the force containing the enormous pressure in stars. Without it stars would not form and existing ones would supernova.

The sun's radiation, as measured in Spectroscopy, is way too high to be that close (3,000 miles) without the Earth being uninhabitable.

NEXT TOPIC:

The sun would appear to be an oval from an angle.

The sun would have to accelerate exponentially to appear to set from one view point yet other view points on the globe would contradict this view.

As the distance of the sun gets larger, the angle of sight for the sun decreases asymptotically to zero degrees. Since the human eye is not absolutely perfect, we will be overly generous in our experiment and say that a one degree angle over this vast difference wouldn't be seen. Suppose we also generously let the suns distance reach its maximum of the diameter of the Earth continuing to favor your side. 24,900 miles long 3,000 miles high makes the angle to see the sun as 6.86999 degrees. This would make the sun seem to approach the horizon but not get close enough to mistake it for setting. Keep in mind, that this also used a distance much greater than your theory allows with timezones.

Illuminated clouds appear before sunrise.

The sun is too small to have fusion that had to have lasted for the past 4.5 billion years.
Personally, I disagree with the 4.5 billion year estimate. Our methods of calculating that are inaccurate after only 6 thousand years, which I find very interesting.
But assuming a sun that has been burning for 4.5 billion years, why not? (I believe it is dense enough to have that fuel and then some)

Gravity is the force containing the enormous pressure in stars. Without it stars would not form and existing ones would supernova.
The forces of gravity are still very unknown to scientists. It seems a likely explanation for some, but there are large problems. Like how do celestial bodies a trillion lightyears away know which direction to accelerate?

I feel there are many celestial forces that lie undiscovered.

This is an absolute falsehood, just check wikipedia and see how much we know. It's origins are not at all levels clear, but it behaves consistently in the macroscopic world. The models for stars, earth etc are based on this consistently observed behaviour. Your misunderstanding of gravity is not my problem when it comes to the shape of the world. If there were celestial bodies a trillion lightyears away, the curvature of spacetime would 'tell' them which way to accelerate. How does a magnetic material 'know' to be sucked towards a magnet?

There is a gigantic difference betweenpredicting a behavior, and understanding the mechanism. We know nothing about the mechanism.

But you seem to know so much, this curveature of the spacetime and all. Perhaps you could explain how 2 celestial bodies accelerate towards each other?

They are following the curvature of spacetime. I can't say more than that because I don't honestly know. But like you said, I can understand and predict the behaviour without knowing the exact mechanism. Gravitation by mass predicts accurately the actions of celestial bodies in RE theory. In it's absence, how does the FE sun stay together if it is fusing/combusting?

You assume it is inaccurate because it contradicts a Flat Earth. Why might the understanding of fusion and hydrogen consumption to this process be so far off?

The sun would have to be 731,268,011 times as dense to match. That close, the gravitational field would cause serious problems!  :D

Besides if the sun moon and Earth have different masses, than why does the UA push them all equally? The more mass with the same force would have varying accelerations.

lol. Excluding the impact implications and effects of gravity from the definition is pretty low. We know more about gravity than the UA.  ::)

It was an aside. Why do you feel you need to try and contradict anything I say? What I referenced is a fact. Carbon dating is only known to be accurate up to 6 thousand years. After that, it is assumed accurate. Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. But scientifically it is only proven to be accurate up to 6 thousand years.

The sun would have to be 731,268,011 times as dense to match. That close, the gravitational field would cause serious problems!  :D
Who said gravity?

Besides if the sun moon and Earth have different masses, than why does the UA push them all equally? The more mass with the same force would have varying accelerations.
This is explained elsewhere, but simply the UA effect is dampened by distance, much like a magnetic field. The denser objects find equilibrium at higher altitudes.
