It was in reaction to your matter of factly claims without arguments, so...What cancels eachother out?
And how can it be light day and night in the summer on Antarctica, if Antarctica is supposed to be the outer perimeter of a flat earth?So you've got nothing.
And guess what: Neither do they.
I asked, and asked some more, and decided to email one of the FE Gurus.
They only suggest to "look into it" and "do research".
So i did, and there's no solution.
It's just not there.It doesn't explain reality.
It's just more nonsense to try and sell the FE myth.
(By the way, the sun is only 8 light minutes away.)
Well, i came across a FE argument at the time, that if the earth was spinning 1 revolution per 24 hours, the centrifugal force would make things on the equator fly off the earth...
So i looked into it, because it seemed to me the spin would indeed cause a lot of centrifugal force.
But when you calculate it, using fairly basic laws of physics, it's only a small effect.
But none the less, it's there.
I forget the numbers, but i think it was like 0.1% or something. maybe more though.
I don't remember and didn't make notes or bookmarks.No they're not.
longitudinal distances would be enormous closer to the south pole (or outer rim) compared to closer to the north pole (or centre)Yes, but a map is a spherical surface 'mapped' on a rectangle.
You know the real map is like a flattened out orange peel, with cuts.Yes, but that's because NASA pictures are often ambiguous.
But it would also depend on the distance between the camera and the sphere.
Close to the sphere with a wide angle lens or far away with a zoom lens is very different from eachother.
But as i pointed out, we don't need NASA to prove anything.
Airplanes are very helpful though.
And so are satellites.
The pictures from the sky make a map that only match up on a sphere.
And the distances on a globe model match reality.
For practical purposes maps are rendered in 2 dimensions.
And that's fine for relatively short distances.I doubt that was an actual conclusion.
It's something completely different though.
If only because witches have to do with the supernatural, unlike observations and discoveries regarding our natural reality.
Man has a need for navigation on the seas and a need to be able to tell time.
A need to make maps, a need to satisfy the hunger for knowledge about common reality.
Man likes to analyse things and discover consistencies, so they can determine the rules and laws of nature.
By the way, the magnetic field you can observe with a 3D compass everywhere is consistent with a sphere with 2 opposite poles.
Closer to the poles the needle will point down.
Classic toroidal lines.It's probably debunked too..
Many FE experiments have been debunked because of mistakes that were made.
Of course the FE gurus won't tell you that or admit to it.
But i don't think i've come across your example, so i don't know.
Well, isn't that the thing with mountains (and valleys), that they don't conform to the curve?
But feel free to pop us a link when you have one.
Could be interesting.And that's the crazy part of this whole thing.
Why the fakery and doubtful "facts" when there is so much clear evidence that leaves little to no doubt about the shape of the earth?
Besides, maybe Hawking was a fake himself.
Or maybe just a biological prop they could give a robot voice and have him say anything they wanted?
But that's another disturbing subject...
Well, as i said, as a Bible believing Christian, and having learned that modern day truths aren't necessarily true at all, i was in favour of the Flat Earth model.
And there seem to be / seem to have been certain 'forces' behind propagating certain beliefs about our Earth, the solar system and outer space, with an agenda behind it.
So i was very much open to the idea.
I mean, they have millions of people believe a pointless point in the middle of nothing exploded* into what we have and what we are today...
So i wanted to know more about this too.
So i looked for evidence.
But it failed the test afterall, and meanwhile the globe did not fail.
I guess i would be 100% certain if i had a rocket that could fly me around the earth so i could see for myself.
*they don't want us to call it an explosion though, because it sounds to destructive. They want us to call it an expansion, albeit a very fast one...
