Wow. What a proof? Just above, one poster argued that aluminum is not attracted by magnets. Did the guide prove the metal object was ferromagnetic? How about electromagnets? They can be turned on and off.

Through careful selection of wheel size, track and gear ratios, the figure atop the chariot will always point in the same direction, hence acting as a non-magnetic compass vehicle.So, what do you want to know about it?I dunno I wrote that this morning and I was tired. It points south always with some line of longitude or latitude I forget what I was gonig to say ignore it. Lol

Besides, perhaps FET is a conspiracy too.
It is just the way it is, you understanding it doesn't concern me.

He didn't just wake up one morning and say "I wonder what shape the earth is". Instead he woke up and said, "the earth looks flat, now how can I proved it".
For example the Foucault Pendulum which was the first device that demonstrated the Earth's rotation that wasn't based on the sun the moon and all other celestial bodies.

The pendulum is influenced by the heavens rotating above the earth -- not by the rotation of earth. We know this by the anomalous behaviour observed during an eclipse.

How is this anomalous behavior explained by the heavens rotating above the earth? The proximity of the sun and moon allows their combined gravitation to affect the period of the pendulum. It is clearly the heavens affecting the pendulum and NOT the earth.
There is an inexplicable anomaly during an eclipse. The heavenly bodies are affecting the pendulum. This is documented and even named.
Wait so you still think there's gravity? Because if there is gravity, then A. Flat Earth cannot be infinite.
B. Flat Earth would quickly fold up into Round Earth.
C. The gravity would not match what its supposed to.
Not if its infinite.
QuoteB. Flat Earth would quickly fold up into Round Earth.Not if its infinite.
It can't be proven that the earth is an infinite plane.

Simply measure gravitational influence in a nonbiased manner at different altitudes.
Uniformity in mass is not necessary.
