Flat Earth Theory / Rahu

I'm sure this has been discussed here. What are your thoughts.

Just keep in mind I'm not entertaining the shills who just want to derail meaningful conversation. I'm looking for more leads, and if possible, more evidence. If there were such a "planet," then it should be observable in some way.

Flat Earth Theory / Looking For Quotes

« on: July 11, 2015, 10:50:24 AM »

I'm looking for quotes (and books) from authoritative sources which state that water always levels itself flat. Physics textbooks would be best, no matter how old—I've only found one so far. Anyone know any more?

(What I mean by "authoritative" is - not from someone who believes in a flat earth. If you go quoting that stuff to people in an attempt to prove the earth is flat, they only see it as bias and tainted.)

Flat Earth Media / A Good Book for Your Collection

First Principles of Natural Philosophy —by A. E. Dolbear ©1897

Looking for physics books which make simple statements like: "water always seeks to level itself" can be a bit daunting these days. I notice they tend to cover every physical aspect of water, but they avoid stating that one fact (I spent hours last week looking for a quote online, and never found anything substantial and authoritative).

This book however was of course printed back in a time before all textbooks went through rigorous screening before being approved - and before the government controlled all the schools (indoctrination).

The book also touches on the Aether - another thing you'll never see discussed in detail and with seriousness in a modern textbook.

You can find it free to download doing a pdf search. I recommend it for any collector.

Flat Earth Media / Re: New Standard Map of the World - High Definition

« on: July 08, 2015, 05:51:28 AM »

Ha. I found the map here:

https://seashoremary.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/is-the-earth-really-round-or-circular-flat/

I found that by doing a search for the map, and the link above was all that showed up on a Bing search. The map on that site is not downloadable, and it took me a few hours to snap shots and piece them together using GIMP.

(I would have uploaded the PDF, but photobucket doesn't accept PDFs for upload; So this is a jpeg.)

I doubt this old 1892 map is still under copyright. But just in case, here's my official Fair Use notice.

Flat Earth Media / Compasses, and Needles, and North, OH MY!

« on: June 26, 2015, 09:35:33 PM »

Were the earth round...

Using a compass at the south pole, or south of the equator, the needle would DIP DOWN, attempting to point to the north. The needle would actually want to point through the planet.

In a spherical compass the inner circle freely floats around in ALL directions—it can even float upside down (especially if you remove the bottom weight).

If earth were a sphere, holding such a compass at the south pole or south of the equator, north would always point to the earth, because north would be on the other side of the planet.

Yet as we know, all compass needles point straight ahead, and do not dip, so long as the compass is held level to the ground.

Flat Earth Media / Salar de Uyuni (Salt Flats)

« on: June 26, 2015, 05:28:50 AM »

Perhaps this has already been posted here. (?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_de_Uyuni#/media/File:Salar_de_Uyuni_Décembre_2007_-_Centre_de_Nulle_Part.jpg



Go to the wide photo at the bottom of the page.

a) Copy the photo to your computer and enlarge it to fill your screen from top to bottom.

b) Put your thumb nail on the horizon.

c) Move the photo from the left, and all the way to the right.

— There is no curvature.

— There is no peak in the center.

(NOTE: You will notice that the left side is a little higher. This is because the photographer didn't level the shot perfectly. You'll also notice that right over his vehicle there's an anomaly where the horizon fails to meet up perfectly. The difference in height at this point makes up for the height difference at the left side of the shot.)



Experiment: With a 50mm lens - Go to the ocean and take two pictures of the horizon, one photo from your LEFT (photo #1), and one from your RIGHT (photo #2). It doesn't matter if the shots perfectly overlap, because "earth curve" will be noticeable in any shot, if it's there.

Take photo #1 and overlap it so that the right side overlaps the center of the photo #2.

If the earth is round, the right side of photo #1 will dip into the middle of photo #2, as the center of each photo should be higher than at the edges.

If you reverse the photos you will have the same results.

If it does not dip into the center of the other photo, then there is no curvature.

(A 50mm lens is considered to be the way we see things—it's TRUE. Anything below 50mm is a "wide angle lens," and will distort the photo. Photos that make earth appear to have a curve are taken with wide angle lenses, likely around the 30mm range. If you are a photographer and have a large format camera this experiment will yield better results.)
