Flat Earth Theory / Predictive power of FE theory
« on: January 30, 2019, 06:05:07 AM »
One of the hallmarks of any theory is the ability to not only explain what we can see, but to make predictions about what cannot be seen or measured yet.   Any scientist will tell you that any theory that explains what you can see but does not make any predictions is worthless as a theory or model.  Einstein's Theory of relativity predicted black holes and gravitational waves in the early 1900s and it was 50 years before black holes were discovered.   Gravitational waves were just discovered in the last 2-3 years (although they were indirectly proven to exist back in the 1970s based on binary pulsars).  It predicted many other things that were later confirmed.  I will allow that maybe the results have been faked for the last 100 years, after all no one has really 'seen' a black hole or a gravitational wave for themselves, we just have scientists word they have been proven to exist.

However something everyone can see and experience for themselves is a lunar or solar eclipse.   Current RE models are able to predict lunar and solar eclipses 1000s of years into the future.
https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html shows the next 5-10 years of lunar and solar eclipses.  There are other resources online that have much longer timelines.
I would like to see a FE model with the predicted dates of lunar or solar eclipses.  I assume that orbital mechanics of Flat earth theory and Round earth theory have to be different  Obviously some scientist has worked out the eclipses based on celestial mechanics and planetary motions, so my question is there anyone that follows the FE model that can work out a schedule of lunar and solar eclipses based on the FE view of orbital mechanics and planetary motions.  If FE theory can predict lunar and solar eclipses based on a separate set of celestial and orbital mechanics different from RE theory, that would be very interesting.
