Flat Earth Theory:A Beginner's Guide - Start here before discussing the FET |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70110018 Canada 10/02/2015 04:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Flat Earth Theory:A Beginner's Guide - Start here before discussing the FET Too many beginners popping into Flat Earth Threads and asking questions that are basic to the FET. Do your job, spend some time studying the stuff that is out there. Flat Earth Theorists are not here to impose their will on you. But they need you , the Ball Earther to be able to stand up to their observations. We are all in the same boat. Flat earth theorists are not easy to debunk. IF you have reality behind you, and describe it, then nothing can debunk it ,can it? We humans after a break of a few centuries , are now going back to the flat earth understanding we had before they imposed the round Planet (PLANE + ET.....ironic???) model onto us. This is not a conspiracy of any sort, but just observations made from proper study dating back to a couple centuries ago. There are books written by eminent scientists of the time, as yet unclaimed public rewards of thousands of dollars posted a century ago, to anyone who could prove that the earth was ROUND . To study this is to make a fair debate. To understand this , is to help the cause of the true nature of our existence This benefits everybody. To diss this off as rubish is stupidity. I'll make it easy for you to start and give you lots of study material. First: Why do we even THINK the earth is round. Don't we all KNOW the planet is ROUND? - We all know that based only on what we have been told. Not through direct observations.
What makes us think the earth is flat in the first instance? - Simple. Observe a ship docked at port. Note the level at which the water touches the ship. Now allow the ship to travel miles away into the horizon. Get a powerful telescope. You will see that the ship is at the same level as it was when it was in port.
- Lighthouse beams are seen from miles away as a STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL beam. This doesn't tally with the earth's suppposed curvature. - Buildings can be seen from miles into the curvature with apparently no tilt, or obscurity of the base.
Go on, try it: Use this earth curvature calculator in your studies. [link to dizzib.github.io]
- The moon has no hotspot. It seems to be self-illuminated.
- THe sun's reflection at sunset on a flat ocean will reach your feet, impossible if the world were round. Imagine a curved surface with a line of mirrors on the surface. Now position a bright light just above the mirrors from across you. Would you be able to see the reflection in the mirror that touches your feet? Impossible.
And there's more. Much more . From any height, the horizon is a curve. They will tell you that the great secret is that the world is much bigger than what we have been told. Even so, the spin of the earth would be noticeable. Planes would still have difficulty landing or reaching anywhere. Then there is this huge circus spinning thru space. As discussed here: Is the ball Earth spinning at 1000mph, revolving around the Sun at 67,000mph,the solar system spiraling around the Milky Way galaxy at 500,000mph Thread: Is the ball Earth spinning at 1000mph, revolving around the Sun at 67,000mph,the solar system spiraling around the Milky Way galaxy at 500,000mph A spinning circus like that will not be stable. The planets would have been thrown out of orbit eons ago. We wouldn't be born. They also ignore that since this big spinning circus is going through some virgin space territory, we should be encountering debris of all sort every once in a while. Or does someone keep cleaning our path through space. I could go on. But now its your turn to study and understand. There is mind blowing stuff there, linked to the flat earth, but if I can't get a word in edge-ways without being insulted, then Im' not going to be posting any info. So do us a favor,and study up. You can start here>>> STUDY MATERIAL:Since GLP won't allow the link to be posted, you need to google it: "A Fair Debate of the Flat Earth Theory"Click on the fifth link in the search results. YOu will be presented with a discussion lasting about 400 ++ pages. What we need begins on page #11. So start there and study. How far away is the horizon? [ link to blogs.discovermagazine.com] Free Book pdf of 229 pages:Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not A Globe! [ link to ssoc.selfip.com:81] Plus countless Youtube channels that adress the subject. That should be a good starter kit for you to have a good foundation of understanding on the subject you are dealing with. Study well. And come back. |

It's curve implies that the moon is a sphere. 2. When the earth rotates around the sun, wee see the surface of the sun from different angles. 3. Satellites are real because we are using GPS and mobile phones. 4. If you find your house on Google Earth you may agree that the satellite photos are real indeed. |
