wow I cant believe how ignorant Tom is.
L0gic,
I became an Flat Earth proponent by doing the following:
- Taking a international commuter flight on a airliner at above 40,000 feet and looking for a single degree of curvature. The horizon was completely and absolutely flat when compared with a straight edge. Mathematically there should be a visible arc.
My flight was at 35,000 feet. I was looking for the curve. It was in conclusive because I didn't have anything to compare it to.
- Reproducing the principle experiments outlined in Earth Not a Globe.
Stop lying.
- Reproducing a many number of other experiments in the vast Flat Earth Literature.
Stop lying.
- Contriving of my own types of experiments that proves the earth flat.
Explain
- Throughout the 150 year history of the Flat Earth Society each of its members came to believe in a Flat Earth by reproducing the experiments for themselves.
Lyign again are you?
- Researching the journals of James Clark Ross and finding that his expeditionary fleet actually did find a vast impenetrable 150 foot high Ice Wall, which he was unable to circumnavigate around over a period of months.
A famous wall that people still can see as they go over it.
- Circumnavigation of the earth is possible on FE due to its magnetic layout.
Same as the RE
- Taking note of the inconsistencies of the Foucault Pendulum at different latitudes and with different experimenters. Sometimes it spins in the wrong direction. Also noticing the extreme lack of pendulums in the Southern Hemisphere.
The experiment preforms as it was meant too. Simple physics state what the experiment proves. You are HIDING FROM THE TRUTH.
- I've tried booking a cruise around with a complete circumnavigation of Antarctica. Each season the cruise has either been canceled or "booked full" every time.
Prove it.
- Snope's debunking of the Coriolis force on liquids.
Seen it, also seen a sail claim it worked as he sailed the oceans.
- The Federal Reserve is a private corporation.
Already explained. But you insist theres a conspiracy when the president and vice presidents dont know about it.
- There is no such thing as a privately satellite. They are built and sent up by Government contractors.
There are. I stared a thread how I met a guy that made the parts for them to sell to nasa.
- Military airspace starts at altitudes past 60,000 feet. No one is allowed to breach into military airspace.
And?
- There are vast inconsistencies between various NASA Round Earth images.
Are you talking about the thread where you posted pictures and then had to edit them because they went against what you said?
- Past the Arctic and Antarctic circles the magnetic field lines are vertical and magnetic compasses are useless for navigation at those latitudes. They just spin around wildly. Polar explorers have an extraordinarily hard time navigating. Any claim of reaching a pole is untrusted.
People were navigating long before their were compasses.
- Vertical magnetic field lines within the entirety of the Arctic circle are unexplainable in RE.
Your own FE person proved this statement wrong.
- Only one person has claimed to successfully have completed a transcontinental journey across the diameter of Antarctica. Without a compass he did it using "guess work." The other person who tried it conveniently froze to death in the process.
And then there was the hundreds of people that gon down there to film.
- No one in history has proved the earth as round. There have been no experiments conducted which prove a Round Earth.
There are experiments, you change your theory to fit them.
- Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham is the only man throughout history who has conducted an honest in depth inquiry into the true shape of the earth.
He never did anything. He was a thought experimentalist.
- The Astronomical Unit is dependent on the shape of the Earth.
They new the order of the planets long before they knew the distance to the sun.
- The refractive index of Snell's Law, or the Sphere of Vision effect may indeed provide an illusion of curvature from the altitude of a satellite.
Somehow they turn a pizza into a basketball?
- Lunar Eclipses are more accurately predicted in FE.
Not even close.
- In the 90's when the 150 year old Flat Earth Society was gaining momentum again its main library of unique Flat Earth literature was conveniently lost in a fire.
And? The dude didn't have fire insurance.
- The Pole Star can be seen from 231/2 degrees beyond the equator.
As said in the other thread this disproves the FE theory.
- Even if there WAS a world wide conspiracy, it would only need to be conducted by very few people. No need for an army of Ice Wall guards. At this point anyone claiming the world to to be flat would automatically be labeled by society as mistaken, foolish, or 'crazy'. They'd then be summarily ignored.
False. Many many people rely on satellite images and data. They could not be faked fast enough.
- The Conspiracy and the pocketing of NASA's 1.6 trillion dollar net gain over the years is ingenious in retrospect, since everyone of the world already believes in a Round Earth. No one is willing to consider otherwise.
You talk about how all those companies are in on the conspiracy because they are NASA contractors.(also going against last statement). NASA pays them money. How can they pocket what they pay out?
- That's not even counting how much money the Conspiracy has made off of the Russian Space Agency.
ok dude. Apparently you have access to classified data in Russia.
- We are led to believe that the ancients, being the dimwits they were, believed in a Flat Earth. In reality the ancient Greeks, dating back to 2700 B.C, as well as most ancient other societies clearly believed in a Round Earth.
They weren't told by their government it was flat. So why do you think they thought it was round. Because of what they saw and did.
- NASA is a fraudulent entity as evidenced by the multitudes of Apollo Moon Hoax websites. The last time I checked one out of six Americans doubted that man had ever set foot on the moon.
Got your tinfoil hat?
- I am an atheist who came to the conclusion of a Flat Earth through scientific proofs, experiments, and observations. I hold a Masters in Geology from Berkley.
So why do your opinions disprove physics and chemistry?
