this place seems like a joke really you don't think organized research groups is a good ideal you really think 1 person is going to find all the answer by them selfs
Obviously I'm no flat earther, but what you say is completely true.
The
Heliocentric Globe was certainly not developed over anything like four lifetimes - more like 20 centuries.
The trouble with the current flat earth model is that it was developed mainly by one person with very little first hand knowledge of the earth outside Great Britain.
As a result this model has many deficiencies south of the equator. Quite a number of flat earthers realise this and propose different models.
Likewise, there seems little agreement among flat earthers on many other issues.
Most of the flat earthers efforts seems to be "explaining away" everyday observations.
Maybe the effort should be put into confirming these observations and then developing a model that fits what we see.
So, by all means make observations and actual measurements and this will take many people working together.
Best of luck.
