So? No one can enter the US or Russia without express permission.
Links?
What vast resources?
No, Antarctica. You cannot go there. Not without permission as described the treaty.
So if we have a flat earth - and it is not infinite - show me the edge.
i can't fathom how there could be a "flat" earth.....
there's a "core" in the center of the earth, right?
And it's really super hot?
And there's volcanoes that spew molten hot lava (from the earth's core)
And there's well, "gravity"
Then there's the moon....and it's round....isn't it?
how could the earth be "flat"?
I am reminded of Columbus and these flat earth warnings that his ships would fall off the edge of the earth. Now we're talking airplanes.
Speaking of airplanes -
Has any plane ever flown past the edge of the earth?
From the beginning, when men were smarter, they knew the earth was a globe, as the Word declared it was
I will be happy to review Scriptures that prove the earth /globe does not move and is the absolute center of the entire created stretched out heavens, according to the Bible, which men prefer to not believe, for some reason, later, but right now, I'm on short time limits here.
Eritosthenes, , way back in the third century BC, even calculated the circumference of the earth:
http://www.juliantrubin.com/bigten/eratosthenes.html "Eratosthenes will always be remembered for the calculation of the Earth's circumference circa 240 BC, using trigonometry and knowledge of the angle of elevation of the Sun at noon in Alexandria and Syene (now Aswan, Egypt). The calculation is based on the assumption that the Earth is spherical and that the Sun is so far away that its rays can be taken as parallel.
Details of his method he published in a work On the measurement of the Earth which unfortunately was lost. We know indirectly about his method from other authors."
But before Eratosthenes, the earth's circumference was measured by Mitzraim [Egypt], after the flood -and probably after the fall of the tower. His name [I think I remember] means "to measure". These things can be discovered in written histories from those ancient writings which did survive the destruction inflicted on all wisdom written in the histories of the all the once glorious nations overrun by their enemies.
We are so dumbed down today it is pitiful.
There are many ancient maps that prove the earth was measured and was always known to be a globe. The book, "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" comes to mind.
The many Scriptures from the beginning about the earth and the heavens show the heavens revolving around the globe from day 1, when God said "light be!", and separated the light from the darkness: the light revolved and the darkness revolved, as they were the not yet stretched out heavens between the divided in two waters of creation.
When the heavens were stretched out on day 2, between the divided in two waters of creation, the heavens continued to revolve around the earth, which is the center of this present creation; and all heavens are "up/above", from the earth globe, from all points on the earth, right from the beginning.
The sun, moon, and the stars always revolve in their peculiar paths set for them from the beginning in the revolving "circle" of the earth, which is the heavens above.
Lots and lots of Scripture show the sun rises.. Joshua told the sun and moon to stand still in the heavens, but the heavens did not stand still. The earth always remains fixed in its place until the last days Tribulation, BTW, during which time Enoch and Isaiah show that the "sun will be moved out of its place; turned upside down; seasons backwards; and the earth will jump about as a "hunted roe"; stagger as a drunken man"days cut short [Revelation tells us by one third of their shining, which means 18 hour days, not 24 hour days, in that time]....
Joshua told the sun and moon to stand still, not the heavens to stand still, and not the earth to stand still, because earth is always still, and the heavens revolve, but the stars and the sun and moon have their own courses peculiar to themselves in the heavens.
The guy who was so sure that the Book of Enoch is satanic is not to be trusted as he is rebuked by all history on the subject from the beginning, for it is in Enoch that the paths of the stars, sun, and moon are described as Enoch was shown them by the angel, Uriel as the Book of Enoch itself was always
This business of a "flat earth" only comes from the dark ages, after Rome fell to barbarians and travel between the continents, over the vast oceans, was shut down....and the east forgot the west for the most part [but not all] for a time, even though the Bible tells of the trade that went on between the continents in the days of Ezekiel, but the Word of God fell into disfavor and men did not believe....so myths filled in the supposed "gaps"..
This is why an attitude indicator doesn't pitch
as you cruise in a plane across a spherical planet at high speeds.
According to this theory, where is the North Pole?
NASA, developed during the apollo era.Then someone invented the onboard computer . . .
brinny, I am genuinely horrified by this thread. We're actually in agreement for once!
Though from what I've read it was understood that the earth was round long before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He just didn't realize there was a giant landmass between Europe and India.
Actually; it is exactly, at the other-end of, the South Pole's axis
an axis, it shares with the South Pole
Did you know, that they spin, in opposite-directions also ?
Thrust a pencil through an apple and 'mark' the top NORTH
and, the bottom SOUTH
spin the NORTH 'end' of the pencil
in an anti-clockwise direction
and while it is spinning so
view the SOUTH's movement, about that axis
ROFLOL
Almost.Did I not hear correctly ?
ie: That they flew to the moon on the equivalent of a Dragon Computer
yes, most of the computing power was on the ground.Did I not hear correctly ?
ie: That they flew to the moon on the equivalent of a Dragon Computer
i rechecked my source for errors and i see none.Almost.
The Apollo Guidance Computer:
had 64kb of RAM, so double that of the Dragon 32. But there was also a Dragon 64 which is a closer equivalent.
However, the AGC only had a clock speed of 0.043MHz, while the Dragons apparently had 0.89MHz so were much quicker.
[/QUOTE]Getting permission isn't all that hard, and once you do, you're pretty much free to go wherever you like down there. Honestly, even if you didn't get permission, it's not like there's a forcefield that would keep you out of the place, and it's not being guarded by anyone.
There is a whole documentary on the guy on You tube. Interviews with him and video of his missions. He is a hero.
Oil, coal, minerals, all kinds.
I am a pilot and used to work providing the uplink of services to satellites. I can most definitely say with 100% certainty the earth is NOT flat. If it were...my great circle route and orbital calculations would be WAYYYY off.
Not good if you have to move a satellites position or navigate an aircraft without ending up in the ocean.
