Flat Earth Theory / The moon

« on: February 02, 2018, 02:57:20 AM »

The moon looks "upside down" to those in the southern hemisphere in comparison to those who live in the northern hemisphere. This simple fact would appear to break the current flat earth orbit model.

Satellites aren't real.

How does GPS work then?

Flat Earth Theory / The Apollo landing conspiracy

« on: January 01, 2018, 09:16:27 PM »

The wiki informs that the Glat Earth Society believes the Apollo landing program is a hoax.

what is the FET explanation on the retroreflectors left on the moon by the Apollo missions?

There are no NASA employees who have come out in support of the flat earth movement or commercial pilots.

I guess they don't fancy mysteriously dying in extremely unlikely accidents. Imagine that.

So, your theory is that, like Thomas Baron, every person who attempts to come out in support of the Flat Earth is murdered by NASA?

Then , in your opinion, who would have to be the bare minimum amount of people to keep such a conspiracy under wraps.

69?  420?  i dunno, haven't given it a ton of thought.  i'm not especially perturbed by anyone believing in the conspiracy, i just think the thomas baron argument is weird.

Agreed with Thomas Baron is weird. I don't believe in the conspiracy. My point is that Occam's Razor would tend to side with the conspiracy not being true. The bare minimum people it would take to cover up something this massive is too extreme. More so to keep it going for this long.

don't get me wrong, this "every scientist in the whole world would have to be 'in' on it" stuff is nonsense;.

Then , in your opinion, who would have to be the bare minimum amount of people to keep such a conspiracy under wraps.

Flat Earth Theory / The Coriolis Effect

How does the current FE model explain the Coriolis effect?

For reference: http://www.theozonehole.com/coriolis.htm

To that end, the proof is self-evident. There are no NASA employees who have come out in support of the flat earth movement or commercial pilots.

Let's throw in the cruise line industry while we are here. I guess they must be "in on it" too.

Also, throw in military snipers in the mix. Professionally trained snipers need to calculate the Coriolis effect which happens due to the curvature and rotation of the earth.
To that end all Meteorologist would also have to be in on it. As the Coriolis effect also takes a huge part in weather and storms.

More so that this global conspiracy would have to cover every employee ever of NASA, US airlines, private space sector, and all other organizations around the world.

Do you have any evidence to support your outlandish claim?

First, just saying something is outlandish does not make it so. The definition of outlandish is

looking or sounding bizarre or unfamiliar.
"outlandish brightly colored clothes"

What I am saying is far from outlandish. Now, in the literal sense, would they have to cover EVERY employee? Clearly not. In the case of NASA I am sure there are plenty of lower level employees who have no interaction with the higher functions of NASA. Perhaps a janitor or the like.

For the sake of this argument, I am speaking about every employee who would have access to satellite images, astronauts who have been to space, etc.

To that end, the proof is self-evident. There are no NASA employees who have come out in support of the flat earth movement or commercial pilots.

I'd suggest clicking the link, as this topic has been covered ad nauseam.

Ok. Fair enough, I hadn't noticed that's a link.
I have read it now, it's a very silly page.

I'd suggest that the idea of a global conspiracy to pretend the earth is a globe and orbiting the sun which would have to include all the space agencies around the world, the airline industry and many branches of science is far more complicated than the idea than it is in fact a globe.

Correct. More so that this global conspiracy would have to cover every employee ever of NASA, US airlines, private space sector, and all other organizations around the world.

A simple example:

What is most likely true: that NASA is not partaking in a massive cover-up about the earth being flat? Or they were able to stop every NASA employee ever from revealing the truth? Occam's razor would side on the former.

Flat Earth Projects / Re: Organising an ANTARCTICA exploration

« on: December 31, 2017, 06:23:20 AM »

For the price of an exploration you may be better off building the funds for a hobbyists satellite.



Seems like the most logical way to prove the flat earth. Though a costly option, it would most likely be easier to coordinate the effort.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why would we be lied to about the shape of the Earth?

« on: December 30, 2017, 02:24:38 AM »

No one is lying about the shape of the earth. The governments are lying about space exploration, and they use the flat earth model (fake earth images and such) because it's the most popular theory of earth's shape and is widely accepted by most. If they didn't, most would not believe NASA and other space agencies are sending things in space.

The problem with this, as it has been stated many times before, is flight patterns.

Even if you believe all of the nations are in agreement with the sphere theory to justify/prove they are

sending things in space

you still leave out the worlds international flight patterns. Patterns that happen daily. A simple example is a plane traveling from the east coast of the USA directly (traveling east) to China and a plane traveling from the west coast of the USA (traveling west) directly to China. With the given Flat Earth Model this would not work. Both flights would either need to travel east.

This is one thing that I never seen answered correctly in all the post here and the largest flaw in the flat earth theory (besides satellites, gravity, other spacial bodies such as planets and moons, etc)
