The Wall -- FEers' response valued

Gravity, or the lack thereof;
The Ice Wall.

yeah. How do the FEs know about the conspiracy and nobody else does. Are they in it too and are squealing

The earth is flat.  The government says different.  There must be a conspiracy.

Simply saying that the Earth is flat like that is like me saying that I am the Messiah and the government says I'm not, so it's a conspiracy.

never trust anything the government says. he must be the messiah!
all hail discombobulator!!!

I'm currently doing a degree in Physics.

Being that the presence of a gravitational force hasn't actually been denied, but simply not applied to our (flat) planet, I would ask why the Earth is exempt from the standard gravitational equation.

An 150-foot ice wall is an intriguing theory but would understandably put a great deal extra stress on the outer wall of the planet. Surely it would become convex (on our side of the disc)?

How do the FEers know of the strategies of the conspiracists? It's been said that nobody in on the actual conspiracy has yet squealed, what with the risk of being assassinated by NASA and everything (which, as we know from reading Dan Brown, is a highly likely scenario).

It's been said that the motive is probably to do with money. This also troubles me. For somebody to be getting paid for claiming that the Earth is round (how fallacious!) there has to be somebody, or many somebodies, who feel so strongly about keeping the truth covered up that they are willing to pay out devastating amounts of money to hide their secret.

(By the way, we're all kinda fucked when it comes to global warming and the melting of the Ice Wall, aren't we?)

Our current understanding of physics is applicable to the FE model. Many notable physicists throughout history have been proponents of the flat earth theory.

Today there are thousands of the flat earth believers. The Flat Earth Society began in the 1800's and has grown by leaps and bounds ever since.

There have been leaks which have found their way to the public. The Flat Earth Society was formed in response to these leaks, and also to create an accurate model of the earth. It is a scientific organization based on truth and virtue.

Dan Brown is nothing more than an uncreative writer of fiction. NASA does not assassinate people, nor does the government try to suppress flat earth thinking. The Government is not threatened by our existence, nor the idea of a flat earth. The majority of people still grow up believing in a round earth. Until that changes the government will continue to ignore us.

It's unknown who is profiting directly from the perpetuation of a round earth. It's been thought that space funding is diverted directly into pockets of this group for malicious purposes, but that's just speculation. It's completely plausible the money is being used for a humanitarian cause.

With this same reasoning, you shouldn't presume the earth is round just because an underpaid school teacher told you so.

OK, so now that weve concluded that there must be a conspiricy, lets figure out the specifics.

Global warming is a myth. The Earth's atmosphere fluctuates in temperature on a widely erratic scale. It's impossible to presume conclusions based on the last 30 years of temperature graphs, because 30 years is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to 4.5 billion years of Earth's existence.

That is the most flawed reasoning known to man.

I could happily say, using that reasoning, that almost everything is a conspiricy.

The holocaust didnt happen. Why? Because If I tried hard enough, I could claim that it didnt. So if it didnt happen there must be a conspiricy.

Don't forget that the sun is also burning brighter as it grows older; there is about a 5% shift in the habitable zone in the solar system.

looks kinda suspicious to me...

No you couldn't. You would have to prove that the holocaust really didn't happen before you could claim that people saying it did were mistaken or lying.

Why should we? We know the Holocaust didnt happen, we dont need to prove it to you. If you say it did happen you should provide evidence.

deep core soil and ice samples show traped pockets of CO2. as air reaches the northern and sothern poles it cools and becomes trapped in ice sometimes. using diggers u can realease and record how much CO2 is released and there fore how much was present X number of years ago.

My 2 questions for a FEer are,

if the earth is constantly accelerating to make gravity what are we accelerating through? and how is it accelerating? acceleration needs a constant force to drive it. is there a continent sized rocket booster on the other side of the disk?

and how do you account for people like Damn Elan McArther who sail around the world? are they all government agents?

if we are moving through space and are constantly accelerating at one G then after around 353 days we wud be travelling at near light speed. if we hit even a tiny piece of matter we will explode.

i know we wont, its not possable for baryonic matter to go at the speed of light without breaking some fundamental rules. but ur missing the point, we will be going NEAR LIGHT SPEED. after accelerating at 9.82^2 a second then after 353 days we will nearly be travelling at 300,000km/s a second and thats not including rules of relativity. either way after a year we wud be traveling damn fast.

and you didnt answer the questions, how do you account for collisions with matter (i know space is vastly empty but even a pebble hit at 300,000kp/s wud cause an explosion bigger than a nuke)
