Have you heard of this? Search YouTube and check out how many videos have popped up recently. Wink

I've spoken up in other threads, that I think debate is great. You learn something new everyday. Though most laugh at this immediately, I find the debates going on fascinating.

Why is there such an insurgence of flat-earthers in 2015? And why is the UN logo an image of one?

I figure I don't need to show you the opposite side of this theory, most people believe the Earth to be a sphere in an infinite universe.


NASA Insider Exposes the Flat Earth!

Published on Feb 8, 2015

Matthew Boylan, former NASA operational graphics manager, worked for years creating photo-realistic computer graphics for NASA. Now a vocal Flat-Earther, Boylan claims that NASA’s sole reason for existence is to propagandize the public and promote this false ball-Earth heliocentric worldview. Originally recruited because of his skills and reputation as a hyper-realist multi-media artist, he started doing projects like photoshopping various lighting and atmospheric effects onto images of Earth, the Moon, Jupiter, Europa, etc. Having proved himself, and wanting to promote him to do more classified work, a room of NASA higher-ups during a party, as a type of initiatory-rite, explained to him and a few others in detail the reality of the Geocentric Flat-Earth model and how they have fooled the entire world!

Did you know people are actively trying to prove the Earth is Flat right now?

Flat Earth Theory Laser Test Results, Skeptics And Eric Dubay (Jeranism 2015 Update) - A pretty balanced discussion on both sides of the debate

Flat Earth Shills, Trolling, Jeranism And Eric Dubay (2015 Debate Context) (Part 3)

Flat Earth Basic Q&A - Part 1 - talks about seasons, time zones, sun/moon theories etc.

4 Mile Laser Test Shows Proof of No Curvature


For those who have never thought of it before, to consider (even if you never believe, just consider) the Earth being flat, it can blow your mind like in the Matrix. I have said I considered there was no God, but I never believed it. You can consider it, and not believe it.



UN Logo



North Pole is in the middle, Antarctica is around the edge:




New Evidence Earth is Center of Universe - Dark Energy or Geocentrism? Modern Science at a Crossroads by Robert Sungenis, Ph.D.

"The most significant scientific evidence that is challenging Copernican cosmology hails from that gathered by astronomers themselves. In short, they are increasingly confronted with evidence that places Earth in the center of the universe. In a paper written by three astrophysicists from Oxford in 2008 evidence for the centrality of the Earth was the simplest explanation for the practical and mathematical understanding of the universe, far superior to the forced invention of “Dark Energy” to support the Copernican model."

Why? Because the Earth is in fact flat.

You'd weigh 17,000 lbs at the north pole if Earth were a spinning globe. Check out the clouds just before sunrise, dark on the bottom light on the top. Get a telescopic and check out lighthouses that can be seen from impossible distances if the Earth were a globe. Measure the distance to the Sun with a sextant. The list goes on and on...

You've been lied to, globe Earth theory is the biggest mind-control conspiracy of all time.

EDIT:

I've reviewed the calculations and I'll admit I'm wrong on 17k lbs point, due to the claimed large radius of Earth the centripetal force is actually rather insignificant.

It would have been better if you had tried to debunk what he said in a form of debate instead of asking a question to something he's already stated.

I've read about this a while back. I had no idea it was such big "movement..."

 Cool


Thanks for the video, it was cool.


For those who have never thought of it before, to consider (even if you never believe, just consider) the Earth being flat, it can blow your mind like in the Matrix. I have said I considered there was no God, but I never believed it. You can consider it, and not believe it.

What's interesting to me is that many of the flat-earthers are not religious, yet if the Earth could be proven to be flat, IMHO it would closer to proving to the world that there is a creator, simply because it is not an infinite universe as we've been taught.

Also, the bible states the Earth is flat.

This is how Genesis describes the Earth being created:



Back to Science

The Earth is FLAT ~The planes help to prove the plane - Video that shows how far flights should be according to Google Maps, and then tries to book flights. Also shows the flight paths, that look odd on a globe, but make sense on a flat earth map.




The Horizon doesn't curve, Ships Zoom, Flat Earth - Shows what looks like a boat disappearing over the curve, zoomed in, you can still see it clearly.






Feel free to debate using science guys. No need to just say you're wrong, I'm right, lol.

Do you think if that if it could be proven 100% that the Earth is flat it could prove a creator?

It's quite simple to prove, all that's needed is a telescope or telephoto lens and anybody can perform a variant on the Bedford level experiment.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention. The UN has declared the Antarctic off limits, to the public.

I was just going to post that song! Good thing I clicked the video first. lol

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

If one were allowed to explore past the Antarctic ice wall (it's locked down tighter than Area 51) I suspect there would be no rim, I think the Earth might be an almost infinite plane with other Suns orbiting above other worlds.

So you mean i will be only able to walk over areas with no gravitation  or where they build an anti gravitation device so that i dont notice the 10.000+++ lbs?

Why? Because the Earth is in fact flat.

Cool! All hail Terry Pratchett Smiley! Can someone tell me where can I find the Rim on Travelrepublic or on booking.com? Some reviews about the best hotels there would be also useful Smiley.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention. The UN has declared the Antarctic off limits, to the public.

"The treaty, entering into force in 1961 and as of 2015 having 52 parties,[2] sets aside Antarctica as a scientific preserve, establishes freedom of scientific investigation and bans military activity on that continent. "

Not sure what u mean.

*edit

Was actually just thinking of booking a trip and see if i really weight 17.000 lbs there lol

Are your weight figures based on gravity? The idea is with a flat Earth, gravity either doesn't exist, or doesn't work the way we think it does.

You're not allowed to wander off on your own....

So you mean i will be only able to walk over areas with no gravitation  or where they build an anti gravitation device so that i dont notice the 10.000+++ lbs?

The Earth is stationary, it's the Sun that orbits.
