i forgot to add my conclusion: the plane can make the trip in 300 miles, because the world is round!

i was referring to the "map" in the faq thread, which they claim to be perfectly accurate.

one more point: if you follow a magnetic compass, it IS possible to find a place where the compass would point DOWN, or spin around. that place is called the SOUTH MAGNETIC POLE!

but FE'rs claim there is no such place. perhaps they should tell Charles Burton's friends.

Or, as in the FE, a place where the magnetic field lines are vertical, which would be the ice wall.

Sure there is.  The 'south' magnetic pole is under the FE.

whoops! if the south magnetic pole was under the hypothetical flat earth, every compass would point up or down-or at an angle from any point on the entire planet!

but they do not, because the magnetic lines of force follow the curvature of the round earth everywhere except the poles!

apparently theEngineer thinks magnetism works just like his precious "universal accelleration" force...

Uh, how do you figure?

The magnetic field lines do nothing of the kind.

You know Eric, all this beligerence will get you no where. You should spend a couple days reading this forum before posting, because you'll notice that all the crap you've been posting gets posted everyday.

ah, so you think anything posted by FErs is gospel, and anything posted be RErs is crap?

look up "earth's magnetic field" and you will see the SIMPLE RE explanation, not the totally bizzare off-the-top-of-the-head excuses of FErs.

i find it interesting that every single scientist on earth is an REr.

i HAVE read the faqs. and i totally disagree with EVERY word of it. which, according to you, makes me a heretic!

i have been here for only 2 days, and i'm already sick of FE'rs "only i am right about EVERYTHING" attitude.

look, anyone can get some small magnets and do simple experiments with them...and get results TOTALLY different from what FEr's claim should happen.  ANYONE!

So you say.  Show me how it would be different.  You keep saying how wrong the magnetic field would be on the FE, so tell us why.

every magnet in existence has a north pole and a south pole. if you cut one in half, you get 2 magnets with 2 poles each.

but according to The Engineer, the earth has a north pole and NO SOUTH POLE AT ALL!
he says "south" is the EDGE of the "ring".

i've heard weird theories about "monopoles", atomic particles with only 1 pole, but even they have not been proven.

in the real world, a magnet on an airplane far to the south would start pointing down.
he denies this, but it DOES happen, so he MUST be wrong!

Yeah, he didn't say that.
So long and thanks for all the fish

Then go away and stop whining about it
