No scientist would ever publish a paper admitting they know rockets cannot work in a vacuum.
...and what does that tell you?
Science is controlled .
Don't really want to revisit this discussion
If you don't want to revist this discussion then why did you revisit this discussion?because zooming in and out
You can change the scale without zooming in and out.on a picture of a map doesn't change the fact that it's massively distorted 'flat earth' map.
Bing maps is the least distorted maps. Have you ever used bing maps to navigate?
lets just say that I want to make a 2d representation of a 3d place. One scale is not sufficient.
I'm going to make a 2d "map" of a hallway with three children. Each child is three feet tall. here is the "map":
By your logic this "map" is massively distorted because the child in the back, who is three feet tall, is much smaller than the child who is in the front. they should all be the exact same size.
That tells me they don't want to lose any money.

Please confirm that toilets do not flush the opposite way to which you are used to.I thought Australians just shit in holes in the ground?
Whilst you are there and have an interest, make some effort to see the Southern Cross in the night's sky. That won't prove anything, but at least you can say you took some time to look at Southern Hemisphere constellations.
I'm based in the UK. In April I'll be travelling to Australia.

What evidence would you like?if the earth is flat, people in south(people over the equator) should see the Polaris like the people in the north do. But they actually don’t. Can someone please explain this?This is simply not true.
Or is it that the flat earth has an oval surface, so the people in south have their vision blocked by the curve? but is it curved that much?
thanks a lot.
Some evidence to support this point would be lovely, alternatively just concede that you can't possibly make such a definitive statement ?
Can you see your neighbor's back door?
Why not?
Something in the way?
No...my written statement stands.Kangaroo logic might be sufficient to make some sort of claim, but certainly not to disprove the OP.I'm not trying to disprove the OP as he never wrote a truthful statement to begin with.
The ability of humans to perceive objects is roughly limited to 350 km, regardless of the shape of the earth.
The OP wrote that people should be able to see Polaris from wherever they are standing on the earth if the earth was flat.
That statement is just flat out false.
When reading up on the atmolayer lip hypothesis I noticed references to the "infinite earth", the idea that our world is an infinite plane. How is this notion even remotely compatible with zeteticism?
Infinite earth is conceptually analogous to the nonsensical idea that Earth rests on "turtles all the way" and is thus axiomatically impossible to inquire about. No FE experiment conceived on zetetic grounds can show an infinite plane to be either true or false - one could always argue that that you didn't venture far enough to see the edge.
Is the hypothesis about the Earth as an infinite plane really viable from a zetetic point of view or do I miss something? A discworld makes more sense in the FE context, me thinks...

I am very anxious to see the continued results of this poll. I was just about to start one almost identical.
I am also very disappointed in the results, already, which actually confirm my immediate suspicions.
At this time, there are only 16 votes and already there is a significant favor of Flat Earth nay-sayers. That is ridiculous for a Forum with the title Flat Earth Society and indicates corruption, in my humble opinion.
I will be launching a Blog or other website very soon for Flat Earthers ONLY. There is a dire need for a safe-haven for believers and burgeoning believers to be able to share their ideas and nurture their growing suspicions in the Flat Earth topic.
Nobody would attend a church that was completely full of unbelieving skeptics. The majority of skeptics and outright nay-sayers on all Flat Earth Forums online proves that true believers are being systematically run off of these sites and relentlessly belittled for their beliefs and undeniable observations from empirical experiments in their physical world.
You can't hide the Truth, and, by God, you'll never silence it.
The law allowing was passed in the 1980's.It looks like your information is false still.
Again, GPS wasn't commercially available until 1999.

"The GPS project was started by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1973, with the first prototype spacecraft launched in 1978 and the full constellation of 24 satellites operational in 1993. Originally limited to use by the United States military, civilian use was allowed from the 1980s thanks to an executive order from President Ronald Reagan[5]. "

Are the wildfires still going on? I wonder if you would really be able to see the sky clearly with smoke and such. I hope you've no family out there.Thank you for the concern. They seem to be past the worst and now it's a clean up / animal rescue operation. Terrifying stuff.
Not everything would need to be related to an FE.But it does seem to be yet another conspiracy which conveniently supports your position.
If circumnavigation is too tough, it can be attributed to weather conditions.
What about those times when circumnavigation is totally possible?

EDIT: Apologies that's perhaps slightly off topic.
According to that article they went below the 60th parallel.
According to the Antarctic Treaty you need stop get permission from the United Nations to travel below the 60th parallel. Otherwise you get arrested:
Norwegian arrested after Antarctic voyage
Again, these yacht races which go around Antarctica come down to a matter of trust in government.
Are the claims even real at all? Could it be a publicity piece?
As those yachts don't even see the Antarctic coast, could the government be giving navigation instructions which sends people around an island?
The governemnt could internally justify the lockdown of everything below the 60th parallel as "based on the past difficulty the military has experienced down there we need to lock Antarctica down for safety reasons."
