Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
There must be some other reason all these idiot "flat Earth" people are suddenly appearing. Same with the dumb fucks that say rockets cannot work in outer space.

I know the educational system has been in the process for years of "dumbing down" the population but you would really have to be an eat up with the leaping green dumbass blithering idiot to actually believe the Earth is flat.

I wonder what the real motive is for all this absolutely insane shit people are putting out.

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Yup, the Antarctic has been officially closed till the year 2048...2048....2048....2048...!!!

What a bunch of BS BS BS BS Bull SH, Bull SH - COVER- UP, COVER- UP


" With the 2048 renewal date for the Madrid Protocol fast approaching, there are already signs that countries may be vying for possession of territory there. Complicating this issue is that as the climate continues to rapidly warm, oil and gas deposits that Antarctica may have — first hinted at in the 1970s — might finally be able to be extracted. [link to goodnature.nathab.com]






The Protocol:
designates Antarctica as a ‘natural reserve, devoted to peace and science’
establishes environmental principles for the conduct of all activities
prohibits mining
subjects all activities to prior assessment of their environmental impacts
provides for the establishment of a Committee for Environmental Protection, to advise the ATCM
requires the development of contingency plans to respond to environmental emergencies
provides for the elaboration of rules relating to liability for environmental damage.

Why??? Because there is NO ANTARCTIC!!.... NO ANTARCTIC!!..... NO ANTARCTIC!!
 Quoting: Interesting Times


It's funny how they are ready to rape the living fuck out of Middle East for oil, yet peacefully leave the insane amount of various resources in Antarctica alone, because... science :D

They are thinking they are so smart :D

I don't know, I would have to see the film you saw to answer.
Must have been mis-info, or you were seeing somewhere southern hemisphere with a lot of ice, but not antarctica.

There is just so-o-o-o much evidence, even from the 1700's ships at sea in that area, it is just overwhelming!

Even today, in the aviation area, pilots know that the round globe maps are inacurate, and they always go by flat-earth maps to calculate the distance and routes they want to fly.

This is especially true in the southern hemisphere where maps based on the round-earth globe maps are absurdly inaccurate.

But here is another video from a guy I recommend..


[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

Interesting point in this video..

Fast forward to 32:00 minutes... and Dubay explains that the Sun and Moon are both 32 miles in diameter and about 3000 miles off the surface of the earth...

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Well yeh, it appears round, but mostly because NASA and just regular photographers use a special lense that makes it appear curved. One is called a 'fish eye' lense, and another I think is called a 'panoramic' lense.

However, if you use a regular lense, or just your regular eye sight, the horizon is always flat. No matter how high up you go, and even pilots will confirm this for you.

However, even pilots have to make sure that the windows arn't making it appeared curved also... which can happen...

But yes, the true state of the earth is it is a flat horizon... most definitely.

If you want, you could go up in a balloon and even 5000 feet up the horizon would be perfectly flat to your normal eyesight... in all directions. And, the horizon line also 'rises with you' and stays at the same level as your eye sight, and always stays at the same level to your eye sight.

 Quoting: Interesting Times

Definitely a lie. ANYONE can verify the distance to the Moon for themselves. You can bounce a radio signal off of it and time the return, or you can observe it at the same time as another observer in a different location, both measure the angle to it and do the geometry. It is most definitely NOT 3000 miles up.

Also, if either were only 3,000 miles up they would visibly change size throughout the day. Neither do. Dubay is a liar.

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
And, explain why the rays of the sun, when they pass through the clouds, come in at an angle?? That's because the Sun is very very close to us. If the Sun was millions of miles away like you say, the rays of the sun would come in straight!

In fact, if you fast-forward on the interview to 33:00, he explains this very thing.

****************************************
And the evidence they give you is all phony hype.

Yup, but your going by what they told you. Do you still believe them? They are in it for the tons of money they make off the duped public in taxes and government subsidies.

They are in it for the money and power, and therefore cannot be trusted.

Take the red pill, and do your own research before jumping to what they say. Come, out of the Matrix. Don't be a gulible chump of the 'powers that be'. Become an 'in'-dividual, not an 'out'-dividual.

They are propagandists.

*********************************************

The round earth map is absurd and early explorers complained about it because the round outside edge of the flat earth is more like 56,000 miles circumference on a flat earth..(pancake shape).

So the proportion of the map changes in exraordinary terms once you go into the southern hemisphere, and that is why you need to use a flat-earth map in southern hemisphere otherwise you're screwed, and will wreck you boat or submarine or whatever your driving/ flying.

In fact early explorers mentioned that same problem numerous times in their writings. I can't give you entire education here, you would need to do a little digging for yourself, because there is so much to it and so much you can find out.. it would take hours to explain, I guess.

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Well, the problem is, you've been brain-washed my friends.. Please wake up and find yourself. Like this fine man here:

__________________Will investigate__________________

You need to 'wipe the slate clean' and search with an open mind, and it may take a week or so, and then you may see that it's true, and that it's o.k. that it's true.

And then when you wake up the next morning, you can re-consider what you heard the night before, and maybe you will see if it's true.

And if you don't believe it that's o.k. too. And I won't care and you won't care and we'll both go on our happy way!

I admit, it's alot to wrap your mind around, especially when you've been 'round-earth fables' all your life since you were a little kid.

So, just be still, and relax.. as you consider it. And if you think it is flat, you don't have to tell people you believe that way, just keep quiet.

And then no one will know and maybe you can tell an intimate freind and he might listen, but you don't have to tell anyone.

But, you will feel an inner joy that you have overcome many lies about your world and the universe, and will start on a wonderful journey closer to reality.

Happy happy joy joy!, Happy happy joy joy!,

A map projection is used to portray all or part of the round Earth on a flat surface. This cannot be done without some distortion.

Every projection has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. There is no "best" projection.

The mapmaker must select the one best suited to the needs, reducing distortion of the most important features.

But thanks for showing the USGS doesn't consider that projection any better than any other. From your own link

A map projection is used to portray all or part of the round Earth on a flat surface. This cannot be done without some distortion.

Every projection has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. There is no "best" projection.

The mapmaker must select the one best suited to the needs, reducing distortion of the most important features.


Also of note is ON YOUR LINK they don't specify WHICH asimuthal equidistant projection is used. They show different ones and they ALSO show them only being used for a single hemisphere.

Listen you airhead, I said in my post

"It is useful for showing airline distances from center point of projection and for seismic and radio work."

that is what it does and that is what is correct. Your whole reply falls flat cruise after that. The rest of it, is no concern to me.
 Quoting: Oracio


YOU posted it in a flat Earth thread as if it proves something. It proves nothing. And now you're getting angry when it was proven it is no more correct than any other projection. Thanks for outing yourself as a flat Earth troll.

Thanks for proving you don't pay attention. Go re-read your posts again, or better yet, go change your proxy again.

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Don't they have "satellites"? We can go to Mars, but we can't travel around our own planet, to get some real pics. Send a drone, with On-Star. lol

IDK, but why all the shadiness, when it comes to getting ACCURATE information, from alphabet agencies we employ? What's the big deal, IF the Earth is "flat"? Does it make our species that much "wiser"? Why the lies and deception???

Nasa got it covered, they do a lot of work that has everything to do with that great big continent. Don't wrong they know everything about what goes on there. That is their job.
Sorry I got a headache

These are the times that tries men's and
women's souls!

May we come though it victorious!

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Many people take trips to Antarctica, how come pilots or passengers don't say they're prohibited from flying further?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70733917


Because its regulated, guided and there are set areas you can go. Antarctica is not up for free exploration.
 Quoting: Oracio


Im not a flat earther -- but youre point is correct.

The Arctic is also not up for free exploration.
 Quoting: BlueRidge Doom


I am not a flat earthe either but I travel frequently. I have flown over the Arctic countless times... I have never flown over the Antarctic even if it made sense to do so.

I also have a very wealthy friend, him and his team invented a cancer screening test using feces that can 'predict' cancer before you get, he's worth millions and millions. He has been to the Antarctic and he said the level of control was extreme. I've seen his pics so I know he's been there.

The only evidence that I have seen for flat earth is that whole thing about flight paths. That shit is shady. Might be something there, probably not flat earth though.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70056734


I believe its because the earth is a torus, and they don't want anyone seeing the holes. There would be one in Antarctica and the Arctic. Pilots have allegedly witnessed both.
