1 thousand dollars if you explain this (without the usual FE bull hockey).

Rentacow, A route to finding all your questions is here

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=14337.msg229104#msg229104

we have search feature. use it
If you don't have an answer to the question, please:


Dogplatter, what do you call a scientist that studys the shape of the earth? I'm talking about sphere vs. flat, BTW, so if you say "geologist" I will virtually bitch slap you.

It's been obvious for awhile now that it is impossible for the earth to be flat, yet you still cannot look at the evidence. IT'S EASY! WALK YOUR ASS OUT SIDE AT NIGHT AND LOOK SOUTH! DO YOU SEE THE SOUTHERN CROSS? No, if you live in the northern hemisphere you can't! No conspiracy, no ice wall, no turtles, no flat earth! It's only going to be time that will make you realize this.

Of course, you were wrong there.  And insulting.

No, hes not wrong. or insulting. If you take the fact that your wrong as an insult, then yes. you should be insulted, but just give it up. The flat earth idea could never happen. end of story. None of you have given a BIT of evidence. all you do is read a stupid FAQ and some books from 1850. besides being outdated, its a bunch of theoretical junk with no actual evidence to back it up. If you honestly believe the earth is flat, you should dig a hole (1) take your books (2) and live there for the rest of your days because we dont need people like you attempting (albeit not very well) to convince others that the earth is indeed flat. Give it a break. Its over. No conspiracy. No 50,000 foot Ice wall. No turtles or elephants that support the earth. No 1g propulsion. Get over it..

The "evidence" given here is wrong, Jenova Cell.  The Southern Cross is visible in Key West, Florida, for Pete's sake.

It is visible anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere in latitudes lower than about 300N.

Ok then, why is it not visible at higher latitudes?

Waiting for your answer.

How many times do I have to say this?  Because the earth is a sphere.  Do you not read your own threads?

I'm sure that a FE'er will object to that. Why do you answer a question that no one asked you?

So what are you trying to prove? That the earths gravity constant is 9.8m/s^2, and if the earth were accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 it would feel the same?
Yep, that's pretty much it.  Now do you see why your example was wrong?

My what was wrong?  You are the one that gave the example.

I know, thats why I'm asking you.

The following is for RE'ers eyes only:
If your wondering why I'm playing word games, the reason is that I'm playing by FE'er rules.

T minus 24 hours until RE claims "prison bitch" over FE'ers.

EDIT: Mrs. More, I'm sorry I was rude to you. I figured you understood the basis of this question, but perhaps it was myself that should have made this clearer. When I formulated this question, I was hoping for a solution that involved the earth being flat. Seeing as the earth is round, the FE supporters have thus far been unable to solve this dilemma.

Why can't I see the southern cross? I live on lattitude line 47, ~500 feet above MSL, in the northern hemisphere of planet earth.

(Their, I made the question straight forward, detailed and easy to understand for the FE folks.)

Did you read Earth Not a Globe before making this thread?
"The Earth is flat.  How do I know this?  Because I am looking at the horizon, be-atch, ha ha ha"

Skeptical ATM

That's nice Trekky...

Regardless of who's wrong do we need to be insulting all the time?
