I think you're on to something. But the flat earth thing, no way dude...
I am retired Merchant Mariner, sailed the oceans for 27 years, navigating in a straight line doesn't work mkay..
I am Armature Radio operator and regularly use satellites to communicate to the other side of the planet, moon bounce, etc etc... The earth isn't flat lol
Steem On...
You don't know that your equipment utilises satellites. You know only what you have been told they use.
I have looked into this flat Earth theory in depth, and I must say, I have a lot of questions that will need to be answered before I can say that the Earth is definitely not flat. I am however, at a point where I cannot say with any level of certainty that the Earth is round.
@fulltimegeek, interesting post, but I have a question. How can you believe that the Earth is flat, and that aliens exist? It is my understanding from investigating the flat Earth theory, that the strongest held belief among flat-Earther's is that evolution, climate change, aliens and outer space are all misinformation propagated for the sake of reinforcing the globular Earth model and hiding the fact that the Earth is flat.
What is your belief in regards to what the planets and stars are if you are able to justify the existence of aliens while adhering to your belief that the Earth is flat?
I had actually written half an article pertaining to the many unanswered questions surrounding this theory. Your post has now inspired me to finish it after I am done with the one I'm currently working on... I shall leave you with one more question though..
I'm sure you know that there are a suspicious amount of Freemasons at NASA, as well as the original pioneers of the round Earth model reportedly having ties to Freemasonry. We also know that the conception of the heliocentric model of the universe has spawned generations of atheists, where as before that, the majority of people on Earth were either monotheists or polytheists.
Considering the fact that you cannot become a Mason unless you believe in God-- and they are supposedly behind the biggest conspiracy that led humanity to stop believing in God.. What do you think the agenda is?
Thanks for the comment.
If the earth is a round disk like the one depicted below -- wouldn't that explain why you cant go in straight lines? Also, I play around with HAM radios myself and know where you're coming from, but couldn't the radio waves be bouncing off the dome above us?
No
And if radio waves were bouncing off a stationary object how would you explain Doppler drift ?
Hi sir @fulltimegeek. I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. But in case you are...
I'm a geology student and I do not agree that we're only being tricked to believe that the Earth is an oblate spheroid for the following reasons:
Almost all measurements, tools, equipment, prediction models, and etc about our planet (at least in the field where I belong - geology) is based from physics principles and the fact that the Earth is oblate spheroid in shape - From identifying earthquake-prone areas such as the Circum Pacific belt. The tools used - seismographs, magnetic compasses etc. Finding oil, determining our geological history (how our current mountains, landscapes, etc turned out to how it looks right now), etc. These all are based from the fact that the Earth is nearly spherical.
Also, these models:
With that, there's not reason to just trick the people. Telling and even publishing lies would only render those hard work useless.
To add to that, these geological models are being applied. If we do not know the areas mostly susceptible to earthquake, many would have been dead right now and many more will die in the future for living along those fault systems.
I recommend the following books to be read:
With regards to NASA: It would be useless to go to space, see the true shape of the earth, and not tell the truth.
