The Dome
« on: May 24, 2017, 07:35:16 PM »
No debate intended. Just a review of information about the dome.
(1) What is the dome made of ?
(2) How high above the earth is the dome ?
(3) Where is the bottom or base of the dome ?
(4) Any other information on the dome ?

Do you have a citation for this sweeping generalisation?

I'm not going to make any guesses, which are my usual mistakes on posts such as this one.
I'm not going to debate any information a FE posts.

I don't believe in the dome. It's silly to believe in something that has never been observed.
Dr. Frank is a physicist. He says it's impossible. So it's impossible.
My friends, please remember Tom said this the next time you fall into the trap of engaging him, and thank you. :)

Thank you, Roundy.
I have heard that there are some FE believers that do believe in the dome.
I would just like to see what information they  have.
And what is the basis for it.

Also, Thank You, too, TomInAustin
Those are interesting questions, too.

Do you believe in Antarctica as the ice ring / or / ice wall ?

I believe in the possibility. There appears to be reason to believe that traveling south from any point on Earth you will eventually run into a frozen barrier, so obviously if the model of FE with the north pole in the center is correct, and this is true, it logically follows that the Ice Wall exists. Many people have observed this barrier so there's no question it exists in some form; it's just a question of whether it encircles the Earth or is its own continent, and that's not a question I'm personally equipped to answer.

I'm particularly interested in whether the sun and the moon are inside the dome or not; and thus, whether the dome affects on how we see them or not.

I've seen the answers to some questions on previous posts, but I would just like to get them all together for review.
FE's only please. I will try to refrain from making any "round earth" remarks until all the "flat earth" answers are in from the FE's.

I am interested in whether the dome is round - like an upside down bowl - or if the flat earth has sort of a flat roof over
it ?
And how the dome (or the roof) fits in with the ice ring/ice wall ?

(There is an old painting showing a man kneeling down at the edge of the earth and peering out from a hole in the dome where the bottom of the dome meets the earth.)

Thanks again, Roundy,

It all depends on which map you believe is the flat earth model.
The map showing Antarctica as the ice ring is the Unipolar version.
The map showing Antarctica as a continent is the Bipolar version.
I will not make any other comments on the above.
I will be awaiting any answers to the questions.
Rather than just refering to a source such as "the flat earth wiki", "ENAG" or "The Sacred Texts", I would just like to see the answers in the words of the FE's.

No debate intended. Just a review of information about the dome.
(1) What is the dome made of ?
I do not know.

I would believe it to be made of a substance that is solid, permeable, and self-healing.
(2) How high above the earth is the dome ?
I do not know.

It might also have several layers.
(3) Where is the bottom or base of the dome ?
I don't think it has a bottom per say...
(4) Any other information on the dome ?
[/quote]
(5) What's beyond it?
Perhaps nothing.

I think a totally new dimension.
(6) Are there any gates, doors, portholes etc?
I think so, but not in the earthbound sense.

I believe there are extradimensional aspects to the construction beyond our current understanding.

Working from a biblical model.

(1)
Water.

(4)
It can be opened and closed by God,
Stars exist inside it like lights, possibly sonoluminescence.
It has a dark mirror quality up close and the outside may be solid.
Its possible to stand on top of it like a vaulted ceiling.
The heaven of heavens is beyond it, and there's at least three of those.



A lie will make it around the world before the truth has time to put on its shoes.

Thanks, Dither

That is one of the first answers received so far.
No comment.

Except :
You believe in the dome.
Roundy doesn't.

BTW.
Seeing not much activity, I will take a break.

Like most people I know without a doubt that the earth is not some flat disc.
I have worked in several fields and observed personally that this is quite obvious.
It is ....if you want to get technical about it : " An Oblate Spheroid, slightly larger in circumference at the Equator than from Pole to Pole." And, of course, there is no dome above the earth,  unless you might consider the atmosphere as sort of a dome above the earth.

But I am interested in the ideas as to how things would have to be if the earth was some flat disc. Fantasy and Fiction do make interesting reading. In particular, those of Sir Samuel Birley Rowbotham, PhD, MD

The dome is one of those areas of particular interest.

But I will concede that if you had lived all your life in an area in which the earth appeared to be flat.
Or if you had never been very far from your home into the rest of the earth.
Or you had none or limited education of geography or astronomy or any other of the other sciences, such as physics.
Or for many other reasons such as if you had never been in military service or worked in any civilian field of work involving global information.
Or had never ever even given any thought as to the shape of the earth - if it was "round" or "flat."
You might well believe the earth was flat.

Questions:

If the flat earth was covered by a dome ?
And would the dome be shaped like an upside down bowl ?
Wouldn't the maximum height of the dome above the earth be over the North Pole ?
Wouldn't the height be very small at the southern tip of South America or Africa ?

Questions :

(1) I wonder if any flat earth believer has ever been brave enough to dare to go an astronomical observatory and talk to someone about the earth , the sun, the moon and the planets ?
(2) I wonder if any flat earth believer has ever been brave enough to dare to talk to some in the navy about the distance to the horizon ?
(3) I wonder if any flat earther has ever been brave enough to dare to get off from behind his computer, go beyond looking out his window, and go outside - even go to sea - and do some observing in the real world ?

Some have. There are photographs that are claimed to be taken over large bodies of water, over distances that should be covered by the horizon, and which apparently are not.

They don't need to be fakes, they can be pictures of mirages.

I know I have been annoying to the FES.
I know I have been guilty of doing the same thing on this subject that I have been doing the same thing over and over on previous subjects .
That is, I  keep asking questions.

I have some ideas of my own, but I would like to see some answers from FE's, in their own words, to the questions listed.

But so far the only FE's I have seen reply are from Dither , Roundy and totallackey, which touched on a few , but not all, of the questions of TomInAustin and myself. Thanks very much , Roundy and totallackey.

My first attempt  on this website was on the subject of how amateur radio operators had  done "Moon Bounce" and had come up with an estimate of the distance from the earth to the moon. I think the details were fairly well covered in detail.

I would just like to see the subject of the dome explained, too....by FE's.
