Flat Earth Theory / Re: Horizon

« on: August 30, 2015, 01:02:33 AM »

Hi Flatters,

This is how I perceive it:-

We can see the horizon on a flat surface if we stand on the plane itself due to perspective nature of vision. Fine.

Now, I am not sure what the Flatters are really saying, but there can be 2 possibilities.

1) That the earth is in a dome - which some have suggested.
2) There is no definite edge.. and it goes on forever, but the edge boundary is the Antarctic. I am not sure if this is what Flatters are saying. Here, this may suggest that the surface goes on indefinitely beyond the dome barrier.

Well, if the earth is under a dome, have some people fly over to the edge near the dome wall? Then there must be some photographs taken to show the icy edge (Antarctica), showing the curvature (in two dimension on a flat surface) of the edge. I have not seen this. So there should be no horizon towards the edge, but the edge itself, i.e. as one goes higher up from the flat surface. This must be proven.

Here we also assume that there is no South Pole. Well this is fine with me.

But if the surface is indefinite and goes on forever (), then there should be NO HORIZON as one goes further up. One will only see wider view of the indefinitely wide surface without any horizon. The furthest point from view may blur up due to infinite distance, but there should not a horizon.

Cheers.

Flat Earth Theory / Questions for Flat-Earthers

« on: August 30, 2015, 12:34:07 AM »

Hi Flatters,

I am new here, a hybrid. My name is FlatGlobe.

I have a few questions:-

1) How do you explain the eclipse of the moon? At present the explanation is that the earth is a globe, and the moon revolves round it. Thus, as the globists would say, this happens when the global earth stands (not literally of course) between the sun and the moon.
2) Also, when I was at school, my teacher said that the rounded shape of the eclipse silhouette (supposedly due to the global earth) projected onto the moon is a proof of the round earth, got it? Don't worry I am both flat and round, that's my name.
3) The seasons, the length of days in winter and summer - this can only properly explained if the earth is round.
4) The zodiacs and the precession of the equinoxes can only happen if the earth is round, may be.

These above phenomena seem to me may imply that the earth is round. If you ask me, I can't answer whether the earth is flat or round. I am a hybrid at the moment. After all the scientific method is based on the rejection of the null hypothesis.

Some of the arguments for flat earth are also convincing, that's why I am here.

Cheers.
