Transit of Venus
« on: October 19, 2013, 05:23:20 AM »
Since most FEr's are a fan of the zetetic method, I will forego any hypothesis and approach a problem without any assumptions.

Let us examine the transit of Venus in 2012 that I was able to observe myself, as were the hundreds of thousands of people that pointed their telescopes at the sun on June 5. The pattern of visibility was as follows:
]

Which can be verified by any astronomers on the very edge of the transit, if you are going to argue that no-one in the "not visible" areas bothered to look.

Please elaborate: Why was this pattern of visibility observed rather than the expected arc that would appear on a Flat Earth?

And as usual when they can't answer something they just ignore it.

I do not have an answer for you. I am still trying to think of an explanation.

Please provide a list is "FE'rs" that are "fans" of the Zetetic Method, for I only know of 1 or 2.

Well, for one, my brother saw it with his own eyes.
I think he made some pictures.
I'm not going to ask him for them because he'll just chastise me for arguing with "trolls" again.

Yes. That's how most people think of your beliefs, FE.

The thing that makes things fall is the weight of the object falling.
Wow.

Troll arguments can be fun if done properly.  In fact, part of the reason some REers even stay here is because debating is fun for them.

Sorry for the late reply. What exactly did your brother see? You'll have to elaborate a bit more. He saw the whole pattern of visibility? I would doubt that.

Stop trying to change the subject. Of course one person can't see the whole pattern, but the reports from the hundreds of thousands of people that did make observations can be used to verify this.

I'm pretty sure the zetetic method is the forum masters official guidelines. Is it not in the Faq or some such?

From my understanding, it is the basis of FET texts.
