Now, I haven't been reading this thread because there's enough huge discussions as it is so I wait for mine to get responses, but why are people arguing about relativity? :?
It seems relatively stupid to me :wink:
8-) (sorry, I had to do that, but seriously, answer my question)
Because they can't explain data from the CMB radiation. Basically, this guy owned a lot TV stations, and had this crap in the background. At the same time, this other guy thought the big bang should have made an echo.
Basically, the results are interpreted under round earth theory that the universe is expanding. This means that old light is more red than new light.
In the flat earth model, things get very hairy very quickly when you try to explain the data.
For starters, the data exists in an angular map of the sky. So, you have 360deg in one direction, and 180deg in the orthogonal direction. This alone is impossible in the flat earth.
More importantly, in order to explain "gravity" in the flat earth, you need to employ some serious craziness that contradicts the CMB, or makes the expansion of the unvierse similar to wetting one of those little gel caps with a sponge T-rex inside.
