I dont beleive I have seen you before. Hello and Welcome to FES! :D

Thanks.  I was a regular on the other site but just arrived here recently.

Atheist.  I come from a fairly fundamentalist christian household, though.

Does the forum have a "poll" function?  Would that, or something like it, add some transparency to the process?

Flat Earth Theory / Effects of the UA on light
« on: December 19, 2013, 03:59:50 PM »
One of my pet projects has been a FE model by which UA can account for the (apparent) persistence of northern and southern celestial poles.  A piece of this model hinges on the idea that the UA affects light to a greater extent than it affects objects which have mass, including bending of said light via the aether swirling around the disc of the earth.  Also, the atmoplane seems to minimize the effects of UA for objects which have mass, but I think perhaps light is affected by UA regardless of the presence of atmosphere. 


This is a very rough approximation of the idea when I first formed it - it's evolved a bit since then, but the basic idea remains the same.  The UA pushes the earth along, but it accelerates light faster, and it swirls through the aether around us, the light from stars below the disc emerging as what we call the southern sky.  Likewise, light coming from Polaris above the disc of earth is also bent upward by the UA and Aether as it reaches earth.

I call it aetheric lensing, and it is an attempt at a more clearly defined version of "bendy light" we've seen before.  I posted about it once or twice on the old fora, but thought I'd bring it here for continued discussion.

Is it zetetic?  It is admittedly not - it's pure hypothesis, but I'm interested in thoughts from the community nonetheless, and hope that we can perhaps develop an experiment to test the idea.

On a sphere, Northwards, on a flat Earth, Hubwards, on the rare interpretation of a south-centric flat Earth, Rimwards.

Yup, this.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Gravity vs. Universal Acceleration

I do believe that UA exists.  I also don't discount results from experiments such as the "gnome" experiment showing that the apparent force of UA varies in different locations.  I'm a fan of the aetheric model of the universe and believe that it is changes in the flow aether around the earth that cause these phenomena.  This is also, I believe, what causes things to seem to 'weigh' less at higher altitudes.  Of course, weight itself is entirely an illusion, but that's neither here nor there.

Lovely :)  Let me know if I can help in any way.
Hmm. Perhaps you could develop a nice theme for the Wiki? Something in the general layout of the default MediaWiki theme but with a Flat Earth twist to it would be absolutely fantastic.

Also, if you'd like to get involved in the Wiki in any other way, just drop me a PM and I'll set you up with an account!

Hm, I've never done any wiki theming, but I'll look into it :)
