Actually most of these topics are discussed in Earth Not a Globe by Samuel Birley Rowbotham.

Not that I expect any RE'er to do the slightest bit of research.

Now that's just not fair... I've been doing research on this as I can... slow going as I have other priorities in my life other than the shape of the earth itself, but I'm still reading it.  Should I cop off with insults against FE'ers in general as a retaliation to your prejudiced opinions?  I think not.

If UA is universal and universal means everything - does that not mean that Earth is also accelerating at the same rate as we are? Then why do I get forced downward after I jump? Am I not accelerating the same rate as the Earth upward?

Ive read it and its full of crazed nonsense, assumptions, untruth, cherry picking between contradictory "evidence" with no reason other than "Observation A supports my theory while Observation B does not, therefore A is correct and B is wrong/mistaken/lies". There is no science to it whatsoever. Come join us in the Hypocrisy of Rowboatham thread if you think I am inaccurate in what I say.

FErs do not respond to threads this old because most of the people in the thread have left. Its like yelling to yourself.

Personally I never answer threads like this, even when they are new. I looked through and indeed I played no part in this one. But its not because it terrifies me.

These are list threads, with someone spouting off 15 different reasons. A one line answer isn't sufficient to answer any of the reasons satisfactorily.
I could spend hours constructing answers for all the objections in the thread, but it would most likely be met with tl;dr or people would take bits each and fragment the thread making it huge. In short, list threads take little time to put together, and massive amounts of time to answer. They are unrewarding, not worth the investment and hence ignored.
If someone wants a proper answer to something, they should make a thread about just that.

Things not explained on FE.

Firstly,a post that summarizes nicely why i believe in RE over FE.

-The fact that gravity varies on the planet(For those who believe in UA.)
-Falling Meteors.
if EVERYTHING is going up because of UA,why not Meteoroids?
-International Space Station(ISS)
I think ISS's exact speed and altitude is irrelevant. The fact that it can disappear behind clouds means that it is at least 5-10km high (the usual altitude of Cirrocumulus clouds). The only other object, other than an orbiting body, that could remain at that altitude is some type of high-altitude plane. No exhaust trail or rocket flare has been observed, so it couldn't be a rocket plane. Balloons are out, as no balloon or any similar structure has been observed on the ISS.

That leaves some sort of high-altitude jet. This is unreasonable for several reasons:
  • Aerodynamics-wise, the ISS's design is horrible.
  • If it were a jet-powered aircraft, it would have to refuel at least once per day. Not only is this conspicous and difficult to keep quiet (even more people, an air force base's worth, have to brought into the "Conspiracy"), but it would likely be very expensive. A craft the size of the ISS would require a large amount of fuel to ascend back up to altitude and remain there, and even more people would have to be paid to keep quiet. The supposed motive of the Conspiracy is monetary gain, so why would they spend so much on a deception. Surely cheaper methods of trickery are available.

An orbiting body is really the only explanation for the ISS.

Not at all. You postulated that these forces might be responsible for the results of the Cavendish Experiment, therefore implying that these forces might also be what hold us to the ground. When asked to disprove that it might be static sticking us to the ground, you were unable to do so. I think this is an area which you should devote great energy to exploring, there would be a Nobel Prize in it if you were correct.

Why do you maintain its an unknown force when it is undeniably possible that it might be static? At the tie of posting there is no proof that it is not static holding us to the ground.

And as for your implication that I should get a ban - my last three day ban lasted for about four months, I eventually had to e-mail another forum member to ask for it to be lifted. So I think if any banning is to be done, I have already served more than my time.

This is gonna seem a bit selfish of me, but there are certain subjects I hate.

Specifically:
Coriolis
Conspiracy Theory
Ships on the horizon
Southern Hemisphere related hi-jinx.

If I see any of these do you know what I think to myself? This is going to to sound awful but I think "I'll leave that one for Tom Bishop."

Its not because I don't have an answer or I am scared of it, or its nonsense. Its just they take forever to explain and they come up all the time.

The answer is there if you want to have a look for it. If you want to discuss it you will have to wait for the next FEr to come along. I'm just not ready to discuss it all again so soon. I'd rather spend my time on other topics for now.

This map has been kicking around on here for years being promoted by Lard Willmire. It was torn to shreds many times and has even more hideous problems than the normal FE map has, mostly to do with the areas of the surface that would be illuminated at any one time. There is an animation somewhere showing the illumination problem but I dont know where.

Besides, just so you know, I don't subscribe to that model. You were given it by a different FEr. I think it unlikely the earth is in that form. For a start it would mean no ice-wall and secondly it would mean you could sail off the edge.
