3. How do you know what the properties of the FE sun are?
Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham studied the sun and its movements for over thirty years. His initial research is the basis for the sun's movements.
If it's a spotlight effect, then how can it be a sphere? What IS the temperature of the FE sun? What is it made of?
The sun is a sphere in Flat Earth Theory. It's light is spread outwards in all directions. Due to the atmosphere, the size of the sun, and its near proximity to the earth, the rays of the sun are limited to a spotlight.
The temperature of the sun is unknown. The composition of the sun is unknown. What powers it is unknown. Further research is needed for these variables. But what powers the sun is not that critical to Flat Earth Theory since with its near proximity to the earth, in order to heat up the environment, the sun may as well be powered by coal.
How is space time curved?
This question is irrelevant to the discussion. But as an interesting side note, former FES president Leo Ferarri is known for using the idea of space-time curvature being the cause of the Flat Earth appearing rounded from space.
What are the seasons caused by?
The radius of the sun's orbit around the Earth's axis symmetry varies throughout the year, being smallest when summer is in the northern annulus and largest when it is summer in the southern annulus.
If your effect of throwing a bit of light off the earth and watching what speed it travels at is zero, then how can the earth be constantly accelerating upward?
Incoherent question.
What are all the other stars in the universe?
Due to astronomical parallax on a plane surface, the stars are known to be small bright motes located about four thousand miles above the sea level of the earth. By plane trigonometry, in special connection with carefully measured base lines, Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham has demonstrated and placed beyond all power of doubt that the sun, moon, stars, and galaxies are all within a distance of a few thousand miles from the surface of the earth. Therefore they are very small objects. Therefore not worlds. Therefore not light years across or from each other.
Have you seen the wall at the edge of the earth?
Plenty of people have seen the
150 foot high wall of ice at the edge of the known world.
How does the military monitor this wall?
There is no military presence in Antarctica.
And finally, prove the earth is flat. I'm not going to go buy a book to find out about it.
The book is free,
available online.
Here's a derived experiment I preform regularly for house guests demonstrating the reality of the Flat Earth:
I live along the California Monterey Bay. It is a relatively long bay that sits next to the Pacific Ocean. The exact distance between the extremes of the Monterey Bay, Lovers Point in Pacific Grove and Lighthouse State Beach in Santa Cruz, is 33.4 statute miles. See this
map.
On a very clear and chilly day it is possible to see Lighthouse Beach from Lovers Point and vice versa. With a good telescope, laying down on the stomach at the edge of the shore on the Lovers Point beach 20 inches above the sea level it is possible to see people at the waters edge on the adjacent beach 33 miles away. I can see children running in and out of the water, splashing and playing. I can see people sun bathing at the shore and teenagers merrily throwing Frisbees to one another. I can see runners jogging along the water's edge with their dogs. From my vantage point the entire beach is visible. Even with the
unaided naked eye one can see the beaches along the opposite coast.
IF the earth is a globe, and is 24,900 English statute miles in circumference, the surface of all standing water must have a certain degree of convexity--every part must be an arc of a circle. From the summit of any such arc there will exist a curvature or declination of 8 inches in the first statute mile. In the second mile the fall will be 32 inches; in the third mile, 72 inches, or 6 feet, as shown in
this chart. Ergo; looking at the opposite beach 30 miles away there should be a bulge of water over 600 feet tall blocking my view. There isn't.
Whenever I have doubts about the shape of the earth I simply walk outside my home, down to the beach, and perform this simple test. The same result comes up over and over throughout the year under a plethora of different atmospheric conditions.
And I still actually have not found any proof that the Earth is flat.
What proof do you have showing that the earth is round?
