Do you really hold that the claim is outlandish?  Its stuff like this that gives us FEers a bad name.

three-dimensional-world is a bad troll. I wouldn't pay him much attention if I were you.
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.

I am not arguing against the idea that he was a doctor, but am genuinely curious about the man who started the modern incarnation of this theory. What did he have a doctorate in, or is that known?

His doctorate was in medicine.

selling the secrets for prolonging human life and curing every disease imaginable

All physicians sell secrets to extending human life. It's called getting health advice during your checkup.

Physicians also sell elixirs for treating nearly every disease and ailment imaginable. They're called prescriptions and kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for peddling their brand. See the movie: Love and Other Drugs

The links explanation wound't work,
and again, large amounts of extra people who have to be bribed with huge amount of money, yet more people who have to be on the conspiracy. The electro magnet theory is verifiable and falsifiable, go over to a museum pendulum and check for magnetism. Oh and the pendulum experiment could quite easily be replicated, some one would of found out by now.

I didn't say it was a conspiracy. Museums and schools use electromagnets and motors to power their pendulum exhibits because without them air friction would stop them from swinging after 15 minutes.

Nope, what about the original facault pendulum, then went for days, and it existed before people were able to produce electricity.

Foucault's original pendulum didn't go on for days. It had to be reset several times an hour.

It's true. These aren't perpetual motion machines, and that isn't the point.

Quote from: FAQ
Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham

Rowbotham wasn't a doctor.

Read Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea by Christine Garwood. He was.

Actually, he called himself Dr. Samuel Birley when he wanted to be anonymous. Try actually researching things before saying them.

I don't believe this, but regardless, it is considered misleading to refer to someone as a doctor outside of their field, particularly when arguing about a highly controversial and completely different field in which a doctorate's words would have much more weight than a normal person's.

Have you personally performed or seen performed the The Cavendish Experiment?

I'm going to be the answer is no but for some reason..... you still think it's true..
Yes. My error margin in finding G was pretty poor, about 20% (measured value 5.43x10^-11 Nm^2kg^-2). It was my first experiment at Manchester, and such is not as good as some of my later experiments. I have my logbook in my room if you have any questions.

yet another thread goes quiet in the face of overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence for the globular nature of our world, why does that keep happening?

Nice bump. Are you searching through the archives to find any debate that wasn't resolved? You have a lot of work on your hands  :)

Anyway, the first explanation to come to my head about varying gravitation is the varying density of materials that make up the Earth (note: in my model, gravity does exist but is not the largest contributing factor).

Step 1 get a video camera.
Step 2 film yourself throwing a load of small magnetic objects at the pendulums.
Step 3 post results hear.

Back to the topic:
I have done the Cavendish experiment, and decided the gravitational constant to a quite high degree of accuracy (if i remember correctly, was some time ago). I too can pick up my old report from the experiment if wished for.

So, can everyone accept that gravity exists as a (perhaps fictitious) force now? At least I proved it to my self. You who doubt it should do it, it is a really simple experiment. You can easily do a conspiracy-check before, during and after to make sure everything is in order.
