I have a few opinionated questions:

1. What are your favorite scientists/philosophers?

2. What are your thoughts about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day? Is this a day to celebrate brain-washing?

3. What needs to happen such that everyone will believe the Flat Earth Model? Does there need to be picture proof or perhaps some revelation?

Those who answer on this topic, I will much appreciate and include in my presentation. There will be two sections of questions - Spicy Debunk questions (i'll post a few ones that i've thought about and haven't seen answered before) and Opinionated Questions(these are related to the movement as a whole, so i can get a better sense of how individuals here are like)

If you feel like I've posted a question that has been answered multiple times, feel free to just copy-paste or ignore the question.

Spicy Debunk Questions

1. How does twilight work? Twilight occurs when the sun sets below the horizon and a pink afterglow appears on the clouds. This is hard to conceptualize on a Flat Earth model.

2. Why does the Moon appear bigger when it is closer to the horizon? As of the Globe model, I believe this is explained by concave refraction in the atmosphere that creates an orangeish and magnified view of the Moon.

3. Why is there no path of circumnavigation around the Southern Hemisphere that is way bigger than a circumnavigation around the Equator? Inspecting the Flat Earth model, it seems it would take insanely long to circumnavigate around the Southern Hemisphere (such as trips about the Cape of Good Hope and the Cape of Horn), infact it should take about 4x longer to travel around the Capes than it should to circumnavigate through Panama canal. This is using circumference = 2*(pi)*(radius^2)

4. Why isn't cellular communication global? Why do we need cell towers with antenna that point downward? Per the Globe model, our cellphones can only communicate with local cell towers because ones that are out of range are blocked by the Earth being a round object. This is different when we travel on airplanes with cellphones and that is why passengers are asked to shut their phones off upon flight. Also if you look at antenna, they are pointed slightly downwards as to match the Globular horizon and gain extended range. Thoughts?

5. How did Galileo's Cannonball drop from the Leaning Tower of Pisa explain gravity? (Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_Leaning_Tower_of_Pisa_experiment). This is the first experiment that proves Gravity, or rather that all objects fall at the same acceleration if air resistance is taken out.


Opionated Questions!

1. What are your favorite scientists/philosophers?

2. What are your thoughts about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day? Is this a day to celebrate brain-washing?

3. What needs to happen such that everyone will believe the Flat Earth Model? Does there need to be picture proof or perhaps some revelation?



Thanks for reading and please respond!

For now, I'm just here to introduce myself. For my class, I am doing a presentation on the Flat Earth Movement --- specifically I think focusing on the history of the movement and why it appeals to members... if there is any common connection/correlation as to the background of the members here.

I thought it might be a cute idea to have a skype/telephone interview call with a well-versed and generally knowledgeable member here. If you are interested in that, feel free to DM me. Otherwise expect a longer post with about 8 or so questions on Halloween evening (10/31). I've done some research and I think I have a few questions that are rarely discussed here.

and attached is my presentation outline if you wish to view it

Cheers, timeticker
