Flat Earth Theory / Re: Rowbotham on perspective

« on: July 20, 2018, 12:32:52 AM »

 To be clear, I am not a scientist. But I was a Fire Control Technician on a destroyer. I've been half way around the world.I watched ships go over the horizon using binoculars so big, I had to hold them with both hands. And I mean watched. The whole time. It's fascinating.

 It never ceases to amaze me when FE'rs talk about this. I've seen the Milky Way at sea. It's spooky cool. Really puts the scale in perspective. I think the die hard believers are frightened by the prosect of an infinite distance above their heads. A reverse acrophobia if you will. I know what I've seen and I trust that.

 Then, there were the questions that followed. He was a conman. When put on the spot about ships disappearing over the horizon, he ran away. And he was not a great thinker. Just a good BS'er. You said it yourself, not many regular folks with the education to know better.

  He took advantage of people's ignorance. Check the Wiki about his life. This is who FE'rs revere. Maybe in another 100 years, they might actually be close to a working map.

 How can someone who dropped out of school at the age of 9 write such seemingly intelligent arguments? Didn't Samuel Rowbotham run away from a lecture in Blackburn? Is this the same Samule Rowbotham who proposed the Bedford Level experiment? And wasn't that ruled in favor of Globe Earth? And the lantern at Eddystone on Plymouth Hoe? If the forerunner of the Zetetic Society was deemed a charlatan, what does that say about the validity of this group?

 Where will the Sun be on the night of July 27th? Full lunar eclipse. But only visible in certain countries. Why is that? Can someone explain,please? Thanks

 So, Earth is not stationary? I've seen ststic model represented in other sites. They disown this group and it's premise of UA theory. Not sure which one to believe.
