The Greeks weren't the first to that conclusion.
That is nearly irrelevant to my argument
The stars aren't actually very far up- only a few thousand miles- so moving halfway across the Earth would easily result in seeing a whole different set of stars.
Before I answer this, I hope we all agree at the speed that light travels. (about 300,000 km/s) If we can agree that light travels this fast, and we agree on the equations that show how much matter warps the paths of energy, than it is easy for any astronomer to prove that the stars are billions of kilometers away from us. All you need is a star in the path of another stars light. When the light bends around the eclipsing star, you can clearly see how fast it goes when it bends. This can be done with a high powered telescope, the kind open to interns and researchers on the mountains of Hawaii. If you need anymore reason to believe me, go see for yourself.
How does this show how far away stars are? Well, lets say you are looking dead-on at a piece of string with no depth perception. It is impossible to see how far it goes. But once the string curves, then it is defiantly possible to see the length of the string from where it has curved.
The Flat-Earth theory is completely consistent with relativistic physics. I'm failing to understand what you mean by 'curvature ratios'.
Let us imagine that the Earth is round. If we look around the Earth, there is a sphere of stars that we may observe. Therefore, the curvature ratio is 1:1 because both spheres line up perfectly.
Now, let us imagine the Earth is relatively flat. If we could see the same range of stars as the sphere, than something is wrong. We should only be allowed to see approximately 1/2 the total stars in this sphere. Therefore, the ratio is approximately 1:2. This is completely contradictory to modern physics, because the warped space is apparently warped by an almost insane amount-all the light on the back of the Earth would have to reach the front, or side we live on.
Since we all agree that we go through time at the same speed, we can all agree that the scientists must be correct on this.
Wrong. Time doesn't pass differently, you travel through it differently. Ot be exact, if you are moving at 0 kph, and then 100 kph, it can be said that you are still moving at the same rate. Similarly, all people must experience time at the same speed, while everyone else will appear to move differently. It is others passage that changes, not yours (unless you wish to assume it is yours, in which case the same answers appear).
This is meaningless nonsense dressed up with scientific-sounding words.
How is it meaningless? It is no less meaningless than your theory that the Earth is flat.
Believe it or not, the user with the handle TheEngineer is actually an engineer, and thus does have quite extensive knowledge of physics. Others such as Erasmus are also extremely knowledgeable. But it does not even pose a challenge to my undergraduate knowledge of physics to refute your statements.
Obviously this is a conspiracy
Can you tell me why moving through space simulates gravity?
Because according to relativity, and specifically Einstein's Equivalence Principle, the effects of acceleration and a gravitational field are locally indistinguishable. It's not about moving through space, it's about
accelerating through space. Being such an expert on physics, this should be obvious to you.
I was testing your knowledge, however this information is locally available and you could of easily looked it up on wikipedia. It really doesn't prove much, I was just asking to see your retaliation on the subject.
Prove the government can't have faked the images from these telescopes and you'll have a point.
Prove that the theroy that the Earth is flat can't of been faked and you'll have a point- wait, according to your site it is impossible to do so. I would easily attack your website now, but I wish to have a debate, not a argument to prove points.
It has nothing to do with brainwashing. The government doesn't have to brainwash anyone because there are almost no experiments the average person can do to check whether or not the Earth is round.
Are you saying that a person with moderate sailing experience, an ice barge, and field equipment can't travel beyond this Ice Wall you speak of? Its not a very hard thing to do. You just have to come to the edge of the ice wall, and you can fall off.
I didn't say we should all presume so anyways. I'm not telling you what to believe. But the burden of proof is on those making a positive claim. The Earth is apparently flat. Therefore if you wish me to believe it is round, you must prove it. I do not have to prove the Earth is flat.
Please, tell me how it is apparent the Earth is flat. In fact, I'll start a little experiment starting of now. I will ask everybody is the Earth is flat or round, and if it is apparent to them if it is flat or round. I'll have results by Tuesday.
Really, most of your facts are once again excuses. Please direct me to a link to explain these power and money theories you speak of, or better yet, type them yourself. I would be interested to hear them. And saying it is apparent that the Earth is flat by looking at it is like me looking at a sphere with no depth and concluding it is round. I have used no thought, just pure observation, to come to an conclusion. It is apparent in evolution that any being that does this is inferior to those that imply thought in every observation they make. And evolution through natural selection has proven to be the best teller of the truth than anything else.
