The purpose of the FAQ is to provide some answers to frequently asked questions. It doesn't need to have scientific models or theories. I'm sure you've noticed in your short time here how often some of these questions are asked.
Irrelevant if those answers are proved wrong in other sections of the forum, which they are. Lets do some examples right here.
Q: "Why do you believe the Earth is flat?"
A: It looks that way up close.
No it doesnt. You cant see anything further than about 25 miles away from an average altitude even under the clearest atmospheric circumstances, ships appear to sink over the horizon, and the horizon is below horizontal eye level. None of that is what a flat plane looks like. Whats next?
Q: "Please explain sunrises and sunsets."
A: It is a perspective effect. The sun is just getting farther away: it looks like it is disappearing because everything gets smaller, and eventually disappears as it gets farther away.
No it doesnt. It can be observed easily not to get smaller. Hold a coin up. Any more?
Q: "What about gravity?"
A1: In the dark energy model, DE accelerates the Earth and all celestial bodies in the universe at 9.81m/s2. This is commonly known as Universal Acceleration, which produces the same effect as "gravity" in our local reference frame.
Q: "Wouldn't the Earth crunch up into itself and eventually transform into a ball if it's indeed a disc?"
A: The dark energy model assumes that the Earth does not possess a gravitational field. What we know as "gravity" is provided by the acceleration of the Earth.
Disproved by local variations in gravitaional pull, impossible in a UA scenario. Are we done yet? Oh, not quite:
Q: "Exactly what shape is the Earth if it is flat? Square or circle?"
A: Circle, like in the UN logo.
And your evidence for this is... what? Does anyone know? I dont remember ever seeing a single post explaining how the flattists "know" this.Q: "How come the travel time by air from South America to New Zealand, via the polar route, is SHORTER than the travel time going North first and then South again?"
A: The airline pilots are guided by their GPS. Remember that satellites do not exist. The replacement data given from pseudolites deliberately throwing distorting all the paths to make it the flights take different times. The curvature of these paths can add or subtract great distances without the overall turning being obvious to someone traveling it.
Disproved by understanding that this can't happen. See: Bilocation Paradox, navigation by VOR radials, dead reckoning, celestial navigation. Is that all?
Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?"
A: There is a vast "ice wall" that keeps the water where it is. This explains why you can find a vast plane of ice as you travel southward. The wall is roughly 150ft high.
Figure of 150ft arrived at by... who knows? Latitude of ice wall is... oops, theres no agreemaent on whether its north of the south polar base, or south of it. Maybe this is because nobody has ever seen it.Is there really any sense in directing people to a source of information they will realise is wrong the moment they start reading other sections of the forum? Who does that help?
