i was really expecting much better answer. we have planes now that can fly around the earth in a day and you telling me that we dont know where it ends ! its human nature to explore everything and that was clear through out history. what happen now!
We don't know if there is an edge. Some hold that the earth is an infinite plane.
Why is it that you people use quotes from some guy that lived in the 1800's, as if he's some sort of god to you? It makes no sense why you would use mere speculations from this man instead of experimental proof that we can provide these day to try and prove your theory
Are you saying this ironically? Because I am pretty sure the "Gods" of RET that are constantly parroted were way before Rowbotham's time...

I dont understand what you are trying to say. I was not being ironic. This man had no proof to support his claims, he did it merely out of speculation based on what he saw outside his window, and any experiments he may have conducted had a high chance of using uncalibrated equipment, or tools that were just not accurate because you know.... it was the 1800's. These days we have highly sophisticated equipment and the mathematical proof that can prove the earth is round. I wont dive into that, but I still dont understand what you meant by "the "Gods" of RET that are constantly parroted were way before Rowbotham's time..."
But let me get this straight, you trust in Cavendish experiment, that first measured gravity, correct? Because if you reject that because it happened around the 1800's, then I hate to break it to you, but the whole theory of gravity takes a huge blow. You can't have it both ways, to trust in antiquity and select recent history and reject others.
Or if you'd prefer to, please list all this sophisticated equipment that you keep referencing, like the name of the devices, how they work, their margins of error, the date of their invention. Because I'm getting a little tired of you referencing highly sophisticated equipment of which I'm sure you haven't the slightest idea of a single device off the top of your head.

Ok, first of all, I reject what Rowbotham said simply because he had absolutely no evidence to back his claims, just like there is no evidence that the earth is flat, what they provide is an explanation, because evidence comes from accurate scientific experiments. The only mention of experiments for flat earth here that I saw was the Bishop experiment, which had something to do with water at sea level or something.Or if you'd prefer to, please list all this sophisticated equipment that you keep referencing, like the name of the devices, how they work, their margins of error, the date of their invention.

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/Grace/#.Vs4AQpMrL64 GRACE satellite, a piece of equipment deployed by NASA to study climate change and gravity forces around parts of the world, also studying the lack of gravity over hudson bay in Canada as I mentioned in another thread. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.html The hubble space telescope, active since 1990 and has taken countless pictures of distant objects and a few pictures of earth as well and helped us advance greatly in our study of the cosmos. Voyager 1, a space probe that was launched in 1977 to explore the solar system and reach beyond it with the ultimate goal of making contact with extra terrestrial life someday, and it has recently left the solar system and is now in interstellar space. There you go, if that was what you wanted, although I have no idea why I'm wasting my time naming them because you and every FEer on this thread will just disregard this as a conspiracy of governments and that it is all a hoax, when you have no real evidence to support those claims.
No, Eratosthenes, Ptolemy, Aristotle, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton are not regarded as "gods", they simply made observations along the way! Parts of these people's observations certainly led to the current model, we do not hang on their every word!. . . . . . . . . .Eratosthenes, Ptolemy, Aristotle, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton... shall I go on? These are the people often looked at as "Gods" of RET. That's what Junker was referring to, and as he pointed out, they were around way before the 1800's.

When far from home in the wilderness how often have you ventured off all hiking trails and paths to explore the wilderness out of curiosity?

It is beside the point what the individual posting as 'rakkan' has or has not explored, or what you or me or any other individual has or has not explored. The point is that humankind has always had explorers, and if there is a vast unexplored expanse of ice to the south, it is to be expected that SOMEBODY would be exploring it. You mention the safety of known routes, and I personally love staying safe as much as the next guy, if not more. There are people (crazy, crazy people) who see danger and respond "Challenge ACCEPTED" instead of "Aaagh, take me home!!"

hello guys
i was reading about the flat earth theories for the last 2 days and i must say there are many theories that worked out for me
however i didnt see many people talking about the edge of flat earth, what is there ? how come we never saw it or heared about it ? why dont we have any photos of it ?
can you please give me some informations about it
best regards
