Flat Earth Theory / Eclipse

« on: August 31, 2017, 04:40:35 AM »

OK - the eclipse was not seen everywhere on the globe - because the Earth is round. *surprise* Now, we have the refutation that electromagnetic accelation is distorting light so that this is possible. However, where is the mathematical evidence/scientific trials that have proven that this exists? I want a direct answer - not one that asks Round Earther's for proof of how the Earth is round, but a post directed at the proof.

Flat Earth Theory / Circumnavigation of Earth through poles

« on: August 27, 2017, 11:41:20 PM »

How is it possible to circumnavigate the Earth longitudinally? I want to ask the question that if we go from the North Pole to the South Pole, how come we don't just fall off the Earth? Please read this link - it shows that a person actually did this once. I still want to reiterate the question of why the Earth bulges at the equator. By understanding seismic activities, and how the waves travel through the Earth, we can see that the Earth has a horizontal radius that is 26.58 miles longer than the vertical radius. Why? In the 17th century, following the invention of the pendulum clock, French scientists found that clocks sent to French Guiana, on the northern coast of South America, ran slower than their exact counterparts in Paris. Measurements of the acceleration due to gravity at the equator must also take into account the planet's rotation. Any object that is stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth is actually following a circular trajectory, circumnavigating the Earth's axis. Pulling an object into such a circular trajectory requires a force. The acceleration that is required to circumnavigate the Earth's axis along the equator at one revolution per sidereal day is 0.0339 m/s². Providing this acceleration decreases the effective gravitational acceleration. At the equator, the effective gravitational acceleration is 9.7805 m/s2. This means that the true gravitational acceleration at the equator must be 9.8144 m/s2. This difference in acceleration is massive, all because of Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which, according to the law, shows that the Earth must be round because all mass is attracted toward's one another.

Flat Earth Theory / Gravity...

I also want to talk about the difference of the gravitational force around the world. It is known by scientists that different parts of the world have a greater force pulling on objects, proved by hundreds of scientific experiments by sensors. Now, this is because of the fact that different parts of the crust have different densities and masses, meaning that, for example, continents produce a slightly stronger gravitational force due to denser material, while the ocean is composed of basalt, a less dense rock. This is proven by the theory that all masses have gravity pulling in on them. (Somebody can word that better, but you get my point) This is simply not possible with the FE theory, because in that theory, the Earth is moving upward at 9.8 meters per second, and disregards the fact that all masses produce gravity. However, relating back to aforementioned differences in gravity, this would simply not be possible on a flat earth. This would only be possible if different parts to the Earth was moving faster than other parts, meaning that we would have a world that splits apart, which is simply not the case.

Flat Earth Theory / Several Hundred Years of Mathematical Proof

« on: June 06, 2017, 02:38:02 AM »

Now this goes into a little bit more logic, and can be backed up by past numbers. The Flat Earth Society has had little to no mathematical proof whatsoever which can show any scientist, when reproducing the experiment, that the Earth is round! For example, an equilateral triangle with 90 degree angles simply cannot be reproduced on a flat earth. However, using lasers, this is possible to conduct. When physics is brought up, FE's just say oh boohoo your taking that stance on the assumption that the Earth is round. Then if this logic is right, then that can be said of the other way around - the only problem is, the FE theory has NO PHYSICS PROOF WHATSOEVER!!! Gravity can be seen in outer space due to light warping around black holes. Seeing that the same materials that are being affected by this force, then we can also logically assume that Earth's materials, (basalt, limestone, etc.), are subjugated to the same forces which govern the bodies of the universe. If anybody has anything to support this thought, please voice it out.

Flat Earth Theory / Looking at different planets...

« on: May 25, 2017, 11:08:43 PM »

I think this can be self proven. Look through telescope, and focus it on a certain planet. Look at it another day, and you can see it has rotated, just like a sphere. This is because of the fact that all mass has gravity, proven by Newton's law of universal gravitation. Therefore, can we not deduce that Earth would also be round?

Flat Earth Theory / Physical Proof...

What can explain the fact that there are different shadows around the world at different times? In addition, doesn't the fact that the mast of a ship appears first disprove flat earth?
