Flat Earth Theory / The Bishop Experiment

« on: February 12, 2018, 07:45:26 PM »

I'm puzzled as to why there is any significance attached to the Bishop Experiment. My confusion arises from the fact that the Bishop Experiment is essentially a repeat of the Bedford Level Experiment of 1838, yet there is no new methodology or evidence put forward to address the flaws in the original highlighted by the subsequent work of Alfred Russel Wallace. Indeed, everything points to a perfect replication of atmospheric distortion that was well known to surveyors in 1838 and is even better understood by science today. If anything, these experiments help to prove the RE model, for if you raise the height of eye above the level of the atmospheric lens as Wallace did (a matter of elevating the observation instrument 12' 4"), or conduct the experiment outside of the narrow physical conditions required, then everything behaves exactly as the RE model predicts.

Am I missing something?

Flat Earth Theory / Southern Ocean Circumnavigation

« on: February 10, 2018, 05:37:52 PM »

Good Day,
I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me to an intelligent, conclusive discussion, here or elsewhere, that addresses the drastically shorter distance required to circumnavigate the Southern Ocean (along the Ice Wall) than is predicted by the FE map? Or even sailing between two points such as the Southern extremes of the South American and African continents?

Thanks
