Suggestion to prove/disprove FET
« on: March 11, 2019, 05:35:54 AM »
Would flying directly south to the South Pole from the North Pole then keep flying but this time north back to the North Pole (around the world) not solve this?
I mean, if you can fly around the world pole to pole and back to pole, prove the earth is round?

No, because it wouldn't matter who that person was or what evidence that person provided that the journey took place, there'd still be many that wouldn't believe them. There's people on the ISS that see the shape of the Earth every day and they are not believed. The 24 hour sun in Antarctica is impossible on most FE maps. 45000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. Most go in the summer and experience this (or at least 21-22 hours of sun on the Antarctic Peninsula). They aren't believed either.

What I'm finding out is that the belief in a flat earth is not at all based on observations. It cites any observation that at the moment appears to support it, but that's all.

Another person flying pole to pole to pole isn't going to help a bit. He'll just be discounted as a fraud and a shill and paid off by NASA.

The problem has nothing to do with observed reality, it has to do with opinion of uninformed individuals and the money making scams of informed individuals who prey on the former. That's the conspiracy.
(A conspiracy is simply where people conspire together.)

The only way to help the problem is for their to be more and more public exposures to the deception among those profiting from flat earth to make the public aware of the issue so fewer people fall for it.

I have been diligently seeking out the very best evidence that the earth is flat. So far the only thing I'm getting is evidence that it's curved.

I have asked a number of questions which strongly challenge flat earth theory and so far nobody will answer the problem.

So basically you'd have to fly every flat earther around the poles. And even then, many of them would say "Well the GPS lied, I know it said I was at the south pole, but I really was not at the south pole. The earth is still flat."

You have to remember people are used to living in a magic world.

Most people pull a snack from the fridge and warm it up in the microwave. They turn on the lights with a switch. They take a warm shower in the morning. They get in a car and drive to work. They take an elevator ride up to their cubicle. They turn on their computer and do productive work all day like reading this tom foolery. When they get home, they flip on a TV, maybe download their email, play some music on a CD player or mp3 player now days.

But how do any of those machines work? For 99% of the population, it's pure magic. They could not explain it to save their lives. To them, it's pure magic!
When you tell them the earth is flat? They have no way of knowing it's one big prank to make money.

The only way to remedy the problem is for flat earth theory to become more prevalent in films so the masses can become aware of the deception going on. They still aren't going to understand the science, but at least they will know it's not as robust as proponents claim, and in fact has numerous evidences against it and no solid evidence for it.
