Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
If the Earth is flat, how come no pilot or passengers ever reported seeing the edge of the flat Earth or taken a single pic?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60201580


Because the edges are covered in huge ice packs and planes and ships are prohibited from going there.

Duh

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
I don't know, ask them.

Over the years significant protocols and regulations have been agreed between the parties and enacted into domestic law. For example, under UK law, any British vessel or any person on a British expedition to Antarctica must have a permit and strict penalties exist for proceeding south of 60° without one.

If you think that is to protect "the flora and fauna" of the 17million square KMs of Antartica, then you're drinking the kool aid.

As GLP doesn't allow posting some links, im not going to go out of my way to circumvent these blocks GLP has, because frankly it's ridiculous.

Google it yourself.
 Quoting: Oracio



What is beyond the 60 degerees south is the question you should be asking. Perhaps there isn't a wall or edge but an entry or exit from this dimension. jerkit

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Because it's kinda like the old arcade game Asteroids. You go off one edge of the screen and appear on the other edge. It's called hyper-perimeter transfer and that's why planes and ships appear to circumnavigate a "globe."

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Don't they have "satellites"? We can go to Mars, but we can't travel around our own planet, to get some real pics. Send a drone, with On-Star. lol

IDK, but why all the shadiness, when it comes to getting ACCURATE information, from alphabet agencies we employ? What's the big deal, IF the Earth is "flat"? Does it make our species that much "wiser"? Why the lies and deception???

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Google "satellite view of antarctica" how come it's not a big ring around the flat Earth?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70733917


Ok guys, I have been hearing about this flat earth thing too much lately.

I am willing to at least listen before I dismiss it.

1) I have flown to various flight levels as PIC with an excellent forward view, I have never seen a even a tell tail curvature.

2) I have come to believe that a major portion of the space programs world wide are absolute fabrications.

3) The Antarctic is under very tight positive international control, for reasons unknown to us.

4) Satellites ARE there, both geosynchronous and LEO are functioning spacecraft as I have depended on both types for my safety and directly and personally transacted over them.

5) Time dilation in LEO satellites is a fact and must be accounted for to the tune of 1 second of loss per year.


So my questions are, how does a flat earth proponent explain satellite communication and what is the point of the deception? If we live in a constructed fishbowl, so be it... its just another mystery to explore and understand right? What does such an elaborate hoax accomplish?

Thanks!

Re: Picture of the edge of the flat earth
Most people think flat earth must mean we're on a disk. How about that the real planet is sphere so large that an area surrounded by ice, with the surface area of the "earth", is used to house the "humans", just like a farm. This area would appear to be flat.

Outside of the ice is the real planet. We're in a prison, IMO.

Because its regulated, guided and there are set areas you can go. Antarctica is not up for free exploration.
 Quoting: Oracio


Im not a flat earther -- but youre point is correct.

The Arctic is also not up for free exploration.
 Quoting: BlueRidge Doom


I am not a flat earthe either but I travel frequently. I have flown over the Arctic countless times... I have never flown over the Antarctic even if it made sense to do so.

I also have a very wealthy friend, him and his team invented a cancer screening test using feces that can 'predict' cancer before you get, he's worth millions and millions. He has been to the Antarctic and he said the level of control was extreme. I've seen his pics so I know he's been there.

The only evidence that I have seen for flat earth is that whole thing about flight paths. That shit is shady. Might be something there, probably not flat earth though.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70056734


When you flown to the Anartic, how you ever reached there, by flying east or west of the US?

If the Earth is flat and surrounded by anartica, then surely you can each there by flying either east or west.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70733917


In FE, the magnetic North Pole is at the centre of the flat disk. "East" and "West" are always 90 degrees away from magnetic North. This is why a Flat Earth can be circumnavigated by always travelling East or West, in a circle around the North Pole.

I try to make a habit of not communicating with total and complete idiots like you, however a personal friend of mine helped design and build the special mirror that is on the moon. It is used to accurately measure the distance between the Earth and Moon using laser beams. I have personally witnessed the space shuttle launches. Additionally there is the simple physics associated with rocket propulsion and there is no requirement for air or gravity.

So Wiki it, about the mirror. How the fuck do you think it got there and placed properly.. Maybe the Domino's pizza delivery guy?
