A question to the FE supporters...

So all your evidence is in a century-year old book, and none of the experiments have been confirmed since then? Or do you have any modern evidence?

Why does it matter how old the book is? The laws of physics don't change over time.

So Newton was correct about gravity after all?

Where did I say that?

He thinks that we think Newton used to be correct but isn't any more. For clarification, he was never right.

So Newton wasn't right about anything?  Ever?  Not even close?  Not even as a foundation for further research and/or refinement?  What about Copernicus or Kepler?  Or Rowbotham?  Weren't they right once?

Nice straw man.

Newton was wrong about the theory of gravity.  There was never a time that he was right about gravity.  The laws of physics themselves are rigid and unchanging; it's only our understanding of them that ever changes.

So then Newton's gravity was a complete waste of time and made no contribution to our modern understanding of physics and the universe whatsoever.  Glad we have that straightened out.

Newton was mostly right about everything (calculus, Newton's Method, cooling) and all that.... except gravity.

That's your belief! That doesn't make it true!

And you crying "That doesn't make it true!", doesn't make it false either.   

It's funny that you've failed to provide any evidence or repeatable experiments, not counting clearly photoshopped images when we can then, isn't it?

Still no examples?

We have many examples of evidence. We have an FAQ, two forums and a book dedicated to it, and you not reading any of them is hardly proof that we're ignorant and you aren't.

Still no examples of a flat earth, I wonder why.

If this website is such a bad joke, why are you here and why do you lose 9 in every 10 debates, only winning the other 1 by using more subtle strawmen than you usually do?

Geodesy is an interdisciplinary science which uses spaceborne and airborne remotely sensed, and ground-based measurements to study the shape and size of the Earth, the planets and their satellites, and their changes; to precisely determine position and velocity of points or objects at the surface or orbiting the planet, within a realized terrestrial reference system, and to apply these knowledge to a variety of scientific and engineering applications, using mathematics, physics, astronomy, and computer science.

How retarded do you have to be, to believe the earth is flat?

I have yet to lose a debate on here, I suspect this reflect the weakness of your arguments

Oh dear. I'm away for 5 seconds and all this fail builds up? Marky, could you point out a part where it contains an experiment or evidence, it's sort of like me redirecting you to this site for proof of FE. Hammod, still no evidence. And the second post, that's just trolling. Only >1000 posters can do that.
