Magellan was the first person to organise the first circumnavigation of the circular flat earth from East to West (1519-1522). How come no one has circumnavigated the 'globe' from pole to pole? I mean... it's 2017. Wouldn't some nation like to take credit for doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very telling that the only post of mine you've responded to is this one. Probably because it's the only one that gives you a chance to come out with something condescending which means absolutely nothing. You're trolling. Your attitude to a man who achieved huge amounts in his life is a hugely un-christian attitude. It's disgusting Scott. You talk about the enemy all the time. He wouldn't want someone to perpetrate lies and ridiculous theories by any chance would he? He wouldn't want people to claim things that are false and create division based on false faith? He wouldn't want good men dishonoured and abused? You are the agent of the enemy. You've been fooled and misled in order to cause hatred and pain.

Toepoke Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 11 hours ago, Scotty CTA said: Everything changed after WW II. 'Operation Highjump' saw Admiral Byrd, a 33 degree Freemason, lead an expedition of 30 ships and 4700 militarized soldiers to see if they could find out what was after the ice wall. Then in 'Operation Fishbowl', the Americans and The Russians fired 49 high altitude thermo nuclear rockets straight up into the sky before agreeing to a ban and going with their fake space programs instead. 'High jump'... 'Fishbowl'... get it? I'm more inclined to believe the official history here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Highjump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Fishbowl Out of interest do you have a satellite dish?

One wee hole in that ice wall and all the water would run off the edge. Not sure where it would go to though. Maybe it it would run underneath the earth and put out the fires of hell? So, maybe global warming is a good thing after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if Earth were spinning at several thousand rpm like that tennis ball we'd fly off too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisegerwind Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The tennis ball anology is'nt the best for lots of reasons, youd get that effect at 10's of rpm rather than 1000's rpm. The answer to your question is online and is a surprisingly low 0,011 rpm for someone on the equator neglecting lots of other factors of course.

Although even at that speed a day would only last about 80 minutes so I doubt the planet would be particularly hospitable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What about curved water? You guys believe in curved water on a 'globe'? You know, where 'gravity' is strong enough to hold curved water in place on an ocean but not strong enough to keep a mosquito down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 School-room physics: you know, where gravitational effect on an object is dependent on its mass. The oceans have rather more mass than a mosquito (which, when in flight, is 'working' to 'reduce' the effect; you don't get something for nothing). We witness curved water every day, whenever we see a droplet of the stuff, so we know water coheres (we even know why), so its oceanic mass is colossal. You never got back to biffer to explain away the movement of dust on the moon, btw ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Flat Earth physics seem to have infiltrated my subconscious. It struck me in the shower earlier that if an object as bright as the sun was circling over a flat plane Earth, then surely there would be visible evidence of it at all times, ie it would never get dark?
