You're kidding right

If the earth doesn't move we won't have
Seasons and Day and night to mention few.


Why does the earth need to move to have night and day, or seasons? Night and day are caused by the sun spinning around the flat earth (see picture on Pg 1). The sun is much smaller than the earth, and much nearer to the earth than is claimed by mainstream scientists.

Just because you were given answers to those questions as a child doesn't mean the answers are true, or proven.

I will probably have to leave you and Fash to this. My patience is very short. Scientific answers weren't spoonfed to me. Proof and evidence were presented. I am a scientist myself. Are you a scientist?

For instance billions of people believe a man named Jesus, the son of God, walked this earth 2000+ years ago. You yourself probably believe it. But there is not a single shred of evidence that this person actually existed.

No, i do not believe Jesus the Son of God born of a virgin, ascended into heaven, was a real person. It is possible [even probable] that a historical figure around whom those legends of extraordinary deeds developed walked the earth, however.

THE SINGLE PICTURE THAT PROVES THE EARTH IS FLAT



'In this photograph, the Chicago skyline can be seen clearly. The picture was taken by Joshua Nowicki as he stood at Grand Mere Park, Michigan, which is approximately 57 miles away, across Lake Michigan from Chicago.

If the earth were a globe, none of the buildings, including the Sears Tower (now called the Willis Tower), would be visible. They would all be below the horizon. The top of the Sears Tower would be 194 feet below the horizon. The only thing that would be visible in the entire Chicago skyline would be the uppermost 85 feet of the antennae on the top of the Sears Tower. In fact, however, the entire Sears Tower and all of the other buildings along the shore in Chicago can be seen in the Nowicki photograph. That picture by Joshua Nowicki of the Chicago skyline proves that the earth is flat.

Mr Scientist, show us your PROOF. If the earth is a spinning globe, PROVE IT. No need for too much grammar. Do you see me speaking grammar here? All I do is post evidence of a flat earth. Do the same for your side or face the door.

I would tell you to keep deceiving yourself.

Tell me something. Why do you think there are no direct flights between Cape town, South Africa and Sidney, Australia?

See the map of a 'Spherical' earth.



As you can see, travel from Cape Town to Sidney, on a spherical earth should be a short, straightforward trip across the Indian Ocean, yes?


But here's the deal:

Flights between Cape town and Australia ALWAYS stop in the Middle East, eg, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc first, before 'coming down' again to land in Sidney. And vice-versa.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? wink

I'll give you 5 minutes to think and then I'll supply the answer.

Re: The Earth Is FLAT. Discuss by Rossikki: 10:04pm On Dec 19, 2016
OK.... Here's the answer:

Flights between Cape Town and Australia, ALWAYS pass through the Middle East because that is the SHORTEST POSSIBLE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO LOCATIONS.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE EARTH IS FLAT.


Study the Picture below...

On the true flat earth, the Cape Town - Sidney Flight is actually going on its logical straight path. It is only when you present the earth as a globe, that the flight appears to be travelling 'upwards' to the Middle East and back 'down' to Australia.

Ok oo Mr Flat Earth.


Where are the edges of your flat earth

Pls explain the eclipse of the sun and moon using your flat earth theory.

Another simple proof to show the earth rotates or move.

Get a camera with enough storage

On a night that is not cloudy(the stars must be visible also) Make the camera point towards the sky and record.

Leave it overnight.

Play and fast forward it and watch what happens.

A collision between the moon n sun should occur since the sun is nearer to earth than we think it is.

You know the speed of light is 3*10e8m/s
and it takes the light from the sun 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach us on earth.

From physics v= d/t

d= v*t

I.e the distance of earth from the sun is
3*10e8 *((8*60)+20)

=15000000000metres


So brother where did you get your closer and smaller sun from.

Address the proof I've posted so far. How do you explain aeroplanes from South Africa flying through the Middle east ALWAYS before landing in Australia, when a spherical earth shows that to be an illogical route?

You're more interested in showing your scientific background than addressing reality!

PROOF FROM FLIGHT


..........................................[img]http://flatearthscienceandbible.files./2016/02/img_9612.jpeg[/img]

''If we were living on a spinning globe, airplanes would constantly have to dip their noses down every few minutes to compensate for the curvature of the earth (with a circumference of 25,000 miles the earth would be constantly curving at the speed of an airplane). In reality however, they never do this! They learn how to fly based on a level flat plane.

Also if the earth was spinning, the airplanes going west would get to their destination much faster since the earth is spinning in the opposite direction. If the atmosphere is spinning with the earth, then airplanes flying west would have to fly faster than the earth’s spin to reach their destination. In reality, the earth is flat and airplanes just fly level and reach their destination easily because the earth is not moving.''

Gravity is a scam!

''If “gravity” is really a force strong enough to hold the world’s oceans, buildings, people and atmosphere stuck to the surface of a spinning ball, then it is impossible for “gravity” to also simultaneously be weak enough to allow little birds, bugs, and planes to take-off and travel freely unabated in any direction. If “gravity” is strong enough to curve the massive expanse of oceans around a globular Earth, it would be impossible for fish and other creatures to swim through such forcefully held water.''

1) Jump!

''Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it's that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn't you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn't fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That's because trucks move, the Earth doesn't. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn't move.


2) Blow!

Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn't they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like "gravity" and "centrifugal force" to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally "stick" to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That's right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.


3) Get High!

Ok, this one you really can't do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What's the farthest you can see? Maybe it's a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you're on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth's curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.''

On photos made by amateur drones, the horizon always appears as a perfectly straight line, while footage made by NASA and other space agencies always shows some curvature.



The Supposed Curvature Factor Is Not Presented in Engineering Plans!



Railways or canals over hundreds of miles long are always cut and laid flat, without any curvature factor calculated. Even odder is that engineers and architects, as people of science, do not seem to mind this at all.

AIRPLANE LANDINGS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE ON A SPINNING EARTH



The spinning of the Earth would make it practically impossible for planes to land on the ground below them. Since the ground would constantly be moving at a tremendous speed, no airplane would manage to hit the landing site.



The Port Nicholson Light in New Zealand



In New Zealand, there is a famous lighthouse called The Port Nicholson Light. Even if it stands way above sea-level, it shouldn’t be visible more than a couple of miles away because of the supposed Earth curvature, but its visibility springs on more than 35 miles.
