Why us REers will never win.

Patently false. Peer review requires independence. EnaGR was not independent or even open-minded.

Earth Not a Globe Review wasn't published by Rowbotham. It was independent.

NoYou can, however, observe the constant size of the Sun as it sets tonight over the Pacific Ocean and demonstrate to yourself that Rowbotham was wrong in at least that case.

I have observed the sun setting. It demonstrated that Rowbotham's explanation held up.

Earth Not a Globe Review wasn't published by Rowbotham. Therefore it was independent.

I have and it demonstrated that Rowbotham's explanation held up.

Nope. You're fibbing, again. Document your results and have a high school physics teacher watch your machinations.

There's no point debating with this moron, Tom.

This was interesting on Friday evening. Shame.

Gee Tom, I've observed the sun setting and have concluded that Rowbotham's explanation does not hold up.

"Meanwhile Lady Blount established a journal, the Earth Not a Globe Review to act as a further mouthpiece for zetetic views. Edited by Zetetes it was circulated worldwide with the help of staunch supporters in Ireland, Canada, America, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand. The only major exception was Russia where, for unknown reasons, it was banned." - Garwood

Sound independent?

When I last looked at this post it had some semblance of sanity, though that was after about 6 posts. I read a fair few journal articles and have yet to see anything from the FAQ come up. In short that is why REers will never win, we unfortunately have to provide proof beyond proof (yeah I liked thundercats). As where the FE argument merely needs to quote its FAQ which I quite enjoy reading, for the same reason I enjoy going to the circus.

Because there is a whole world of possibilities within your grasp, if only you are open to them?  Good to see you're learning!

So, is it available for others to look or is it some antique book/article that isn't available anymore? And if you read back then I asked peer review which was done in last 40 years. If it isn't available online then please refer to the title and author of the book/article. Though, author must be real scientist not "scientist" like Rowbotham was.

After ENAG was published there was a monthly journal called "Earth Not a Globe Review" which was dedicated to peer reviewing the work.

There are also reproductions of Rowbotham's experiments by independent researchers which you can find in my signature link.

Are there any peer review that any scientist did? You can't call a "peer review" a work done by some Rowbotham followers. I can't see any work of scientist from your signature link also. So, question remains.

I'm a scientist!  Hear me RAWR!

I'm actually here because it's virtually insurmountable. I've always loved debating challenges, and being told '90 Percent Of The Evidence You Bring Is Inadmissable' provides one hell of a challenge.

Still, says something about the human race, eh? Even after we develop the ability to go into space and get the answer...

If Round Earth supporters went into space and came back and announced the world was round, 'conspiracy' would be announced. If Flat Earth supporters went up into space and came back saying the Earth is flat, same thing will happen. In the end, it all boils down to belief, and no amount of evidence will ever convince everyone.

Actually, RE'ers will never win because the Earth is flat.

  Are you doing the peer review of Rowbothams work?

Actually, RE'ers will never win because the Earth is flat.

Yes, in this forum. But out there...

Why would I need to, when there's a wealth of debate-worthy evidence at hand?

I'm fairly certain the curvature of the Earth doesn't vary greatly between the host server and outside of it's warehouse.

Totally inadmissable evidence. Conspiracy cover-up, so afraid that everything's fabricated. Sorry! ^_^

Sorry dude, please try in your "Scientist" credentials for stating a weakly supported theory as fact.

Ah I went through this phase as well.

You see? It happens to everyone in the end.  Maybe if Better Model hangs around long enough he'll figure it out.

Perhaps every time someone starts this kind of argument, a book should be opened on how long it'll take before the penny drops?

That could be pretty good - there's quite a large deviation on the time so should get an interesting number of bets!
