It is hardly possible to reveal the incomprehensible secrets of the universe to the end. And even what at first glance seems to be an indisputable truth, in some cases can be very controversial. for the sake of political, economic, moral and ethical interests, it is no longer such a surprise, because the concept of alternative history is becoming more and more adherents every day. And even those who until recently believed in fairy tales about the existence of Peter I, today are no longer so confident in supporting their beliefs.

And what if not only history is distorted? Modern geography, geodesy and other sciences have elevated the idea that the Earth is round to the rank of axiom, but this theory also has its opponents. At first glance, the idea of ​​a flat Earth can be perceived as a joke, only its adherents are providing more and more convincing evidence in favor of their theory, which looks quite logical and reasonable. Is this true, or is science not lying in this case? Who knows…

Flat Earth Theory: Basic Concepts

The essence of this theory reveals its very name. According to flat earthers, the globe is a circular disk centered on the North Pole. But in principle, there is no South Pole on this map - instead of it there is a high ice wall that encircles the territory of the Earth. What lies behind this wall is a mystery. Some suggest that behind it there is only ice and permafrost, others believe that there is a parallel life of other inhabitants of the planet hiding there, while others believe that the wall serves as a fence behind which there is absolutely nothing. A map that visually reflects the device of a flat Earth is called azimuthal.

The diameter of the planet is 40,000 kilometers. Above this huge disk, like a dome, the constellations, the Sun and the Moon rise. And so that the day goes on as usual, and the day turns into night, it is not the planet itself that rotates, but the dome located directly above it. That is why the constellations move during the night, the bright sun is replaced by a mysterious and cold moon, and sunrise and sunset alternate regularly.

And since the Sun is constantly moving, then the usual ideas about the solar system have no right to exist. In principle, the Solar system is not considered in the Flat Earth concept, since the rotation of the Sun is carried out at a frantic speed, and the planets simply could not follow it and rotate about their own axis. The force of attraction of the planets also acts as a weighty argument. According to modern scientists, the Earth ranks third among the planets located around the Sun. That's just according to the laws of physics, the force of attraction is directly related to the mass, which means that the smaller the size of the planet, the closer it should be to the Sun. Having carried out simple mathematical calculations, one can understand that the Earth should not be in third, but in sixth place. Then our world would be shrouded in permafrost, because the atmosphere simply physically could not warm up enough to comfortably sustain life.

But if everything is arranged exactly as the adherents of the Flat Earth theory see it, what about space flights, numerous photographs of the Earth taken from outer space, data on other planets and other information that clearly demonstrates the structure of the universe. According to the flat earthers, all this is nothing more than a fiction, a staging and a fraud on a huge scale. The illusion created by the Freemasons allows you to hide the truth from the population. One of the proofs of this assumption is the picture of Apollo 11, in which the Americans allegedly flew to the moon. With a detailed magnification, you can see that the spacecraft is made of "improvised materials" - foil, planks, oilcloth, cardboard, etc. In fact, this is just a scenery intended for filming astronauts, who, by the way, did not even bother to remove jewelry (bracelets and rings), on which an engraved letter G is visible inside a compass and square - a symbol of the Masonic movement.

What about pictures of Mars? The unreal and mysterious beauty of this mysterious planet, according to the adherents of the Flat Earth theory, is nothing more than photo filters, the play of light and shadows, classic computer programs that any “advanced” schoolboy can work with. If you remove the effects of Photoshop from these pictures, you get very beautiful, but still very real landscapes, taken in remote corners of the Earth, untouched by human hands.

A bit of history, or where does the flat earth theory come from?

At first glance, it may seem that the theory of the flat shape of our planet is nothing more than a fashion trend, of which there are now quite a few on the Internet. However, this is not at all the case: peering through the prism of history, one can track how opinions about the shape of the Earth have changed. The mention of this theory was found in the ancient mythology of Egypt and Babylon, Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, and the Scandinavian epic. And even the ancient philosophers, whose teachings are considered a historical heritage, including Leucippus and his student Democritus, were firmly convinced that the Earth is flat. The same idea was held in the oldest manuscript of the Book of Enoch, found in Qumran. However, over time, these beliefs gave way to astronomical knowledge, and the idea of ​​a Flat Earth sunk into oblivion.

In the Middle Ages, the question of the shape of the Earth again became discussed. One of the clearest examples of this idea was the "Christian Topography" written by Cosmas Indikoples in 535-547. In it, the planet is presented in the form of a rectangular plane, on top of which there is a dome: “Some people, hiding behind the name of Christians, argue, along with pagan philosophers, that the sky has a spherical shape. No doubt these people are deluded by the eclipses of the Sun and Moon.” This work in translation was widely used in Russia, because at that time it was a unique encyclopedia of medieval knowledge, which there was no reason not to believe.

One illustrative example of the theory was an engraving published in the book "Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology", published by the French astronomer Camille Flammarion in 1888. It depicts a pilgrim who has reached the edge of the Earth and looks out from under the dome towards new worlds. The caption for the image reads: "A medieval missionary says he found the point where the sky touches the Earth."

How was the Flat Earth Society formed?

In the 19th century, adherents of the described concept united in a group - the Flat Earth Society - headed by the English scientist Samuel Rowbotham. For several decades, he conducted all kinds of experiments, experiments, studies in support of his theory and, importantly, found a lot of evidence. Using the pseudonym Parallax, he wrote "Zethetic Astronomy", in which he thoroughly and clearly outlined all his achievements and results that refute the spherical shape of the planet. Initially, Rowbotham's small work was reprinted several times, becoming more and more large-scale and evidence-based literature, because it was constantly supplemented by students of the Society. Until his death, Samuel Rowbotham defended his theory, holding numerous lectures and seminars around the world.

Adherents of Rowbotham's theory subsequently united in the Universal Zethetic Society, which found its adherents in all corners of the planet. Since 1956, this organization, headed by Samuel Shenton, has again become known as the Flat Earth Society, but with the significant prefix "International". When Shenton saw photographs of the globe from orbit, he never doubted his beliefs for a moment: "It is easy to see how photographs of this sort can fool the uninformed."

Since 1971, the head of the organization has been Charles Johnson. He launched a major campaign to promote his ideas, handing out leaflets, pamphlets and booklets, in which he defended the flat earth model. Thanks to such activity, during his leadership, the number of supporters of the theory has increased several times.

Arguments in favor of the flat earth theory

In order to make an informed decision about the shape of our planet, one should consider the arguments of both sides, finding out which of them is the most reasonable and consistent. So what do flat earthers say about their theory?

1.The speed of the earth's rotation.

Scientific data says that the Earth rotates around its axis at a speed of about half a kilometer per second. It's hard to even imagine such a fast object! In favor of the flat earthers are a few simple experiments, for example, with a jump. Everyone knows that, having jumped, a person lands in the same place. But what about rotation? After all, in those fractions of a second that he was in a jump, the planet had to move a considerable distance, and another point would become the landing site. The same result gives a shot from a cannon into the sky. In addition, if you shoot to the east (against the direction of rotation), the core should fly twice less than the norm, and if to the west - twice as much. However, this does not happen. And the pilots flying over the Earth have never registered how it rotates, although who, if not them, should be able to see the change in the position of the planet from above.

2.Perfectly flat horizon.

Look into the distance. Look carefully, not losing sight of the slightest detail. What do you see? The standard flat edge of the horizon in the area where it is clearly visible - fields, meadows, sea surface - cannot deceive. After all, in a free area, the view spans several kilometers in the distance, so why are they perfectly even? According to the adherents of the theory, the answer is obvious - the Earth is flat! In addition, tall objects (for example, towers, lighthouses, mountain peaks) would simply not be visible, because the spherical surface covered them from the attentive eye, since the horizon line would be much higher. But this does not happen, and you can admire the mountains from a very long distance, numbering more than one kilometer.

3.Air routes.

Many flights, especially long-distance flights, at first glance seem illogical from the point of view of the sphericity of the Earth. Looking at the globe, one may wonder why pilots choose such, at first glance, illogical route and inconvenient points for refueling. However, there is no mystery and irrationality in this: if you compare these routes with a flat map, it becomes clear that the route is laid perfectly.

4. Star drawing.

If all objects in the Universe are in constant motion, then why are the stars in the sky located exactly the same way both today and several centuries ago. Indeed, in theory, the star pattern should change, if not every day, then once a week for sure. However, this does not happen. The thing is that the stars are just holograms on the celestial dome, which cannot change, move relative to each other, and even more so fall. And the famous meteor shower, which all the romantics of the world are looking forward to, to make a wish, is a holographic effect.

5. The yellow color of the sun.

The scientific laws explain quite extensively why the sky is blue and the Sun is yellow. According to official data, ultraviolet passing through the atmosphere is scattered into spectra, one of which colors the sky canvas. However, this does not explain in any way why a part of the rays concentrated around the Sun does not break up, because then it should be blue-blue. Isn't it because the Sun is below the dome-sky, which limits the space. Rotating around the Earth, it alternately illuminates the territory, so the light hours regularly replace each other.

6. Space flights are a hoax.

None of the flat earthers have seen outer space with their own eyes, which means that its existence can be disputed to the point of hoarseness. Photos are fake, videos are solid special effects, and space flights are fantastic stories. Convinced adherents of this theory even organized several times an investigation expedition to find places for photography "on the Moon". And when the astronauts were asked to swear on the Holy Scriptures that they were on the moon, they all showed aggression and evaded the answer.

7. Free flow of rivers.

According to the law of communicating vessels, the network of reservoirs enveloping the Earth simply could not exist on a spherical planet in the form in which we see it today. However, the rivers flow to the west, east, north and south in almost equal numbers, and their depth and full flow are in no way connected with the geographical position. Such characteristics are possible only if the Earth is flat.

8. View of technicians.

One of the weighty arguments in favor of their theory, flat earthers use the universal conspiracy of engineers, technicians and other personalities, one way or another connected with work in vast spaces. For example, surveyors do not take into account the curvature of the Earth when designing buildings and structures. But in this case, the building, made according to this project, simply could not withstand the total load and collapsed. However, this does not happen, and the buildings stand idle for decades. There is only one conclusion: they are aware that the Earth is actually flat, but they keep this secret from the population. The same applies to aircraft pilots who, when taking off from a spherical surface, no longer correct their flight path until landing. How? After all, under such conditions, the plane would have flown into outer space. And if you look at it from the point of view of a flat Earth, everything falls into place.

This evidence is the most common evidence that the Flat Earth Society uses to refute a generally accepted theory. To judge their fidelity, one must also consider the beliefs of the so-called "ballooners", who adhere to a scientific point of view.

Why is the Earth a sphere? Flat Earth Arguments

The concept that the scientific community adheres to has many justifications in its favor, some of which look quite convincing. What are the ballers talking about in favor of their theory?

1. Moon and its eclipse.

Even if we do not take into account photographs that prove the existence of the Moon as a satellite of our planet, the shadow that the Earth casts, gradually reaching a lunar eclipse, directly indicates its sphericity. Even Aristotle, who supported the spherical nature of the planet, considered the cast shadow as an oval, which directly contradicted the theory of the flat shape of the Earth.

2.Constellation change.

This argument was also considered as early as the time of Aristotle. Traveling around the world, he recorded the position of the stars in the sky and the visibility of each of them. So, being at the equator, constellations were opened to him, which were not visible in other latitudes. And the farther from the equator the scientist was, the less familiar stars he saw, which were replaced by others. This effect could only be explained by the fact that a person looks at the sky from a spherical surface, otherwise the location would not have such a strong effect on the visibility of the stars.

3.Time Zones.

And although half-Earths claim that the change of time of day occurs due to the rotation of the Sun, balloonists are sure that it is the Earth that rotates around its axis. That is why different times are set in different countries, and when, for example, it is deep night in America, the sun is shining in China, and the day is in full swing.

4. Force of gravity.

Another proof of a spherical planet is gravity - the force of attraction between objects. According to the laws of physics, it acts relative to the center of mass. But after all, when falling, the apple lands from top to bottom, and not at an angle to the center, and a person, walking along the surface of the Earth, feels attraction to the bottom, and not sideways, closer to the center of the “disk”. That is why it can be judged that under it every time there is the center of the Earth, from which the maximum gravity comes, which means that the Earth has a spherical shape. However, flat earthers reject this evidence because they believe that gravity is just the result of the planet's upward movement with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.

5.Visibility of objects from a height.

If you climb a mountain, a tall tree or a lighthouse, looking at the outlines of the horizon through binoculars, you will notice that the visibility distance increases in direct proportion to the height at which the person is located. Of course, visible obstacles can interfere with the purity of the experiment, but in a field or meadow, this effect is most noticeable. But if the Earth were flat, the height of the observation platform would have no effect on the visibility of objects on the horizon. This is possible only if the planet has the shape of a ball.

6. ship on the horizon.

When sailing, the ship does not immediately disappear on a perfectly flat sea surface. First of all, its hull is lost from sight, and only after that the sails disappear over the horizon. The same thing is observed when it approaches the shore: sails are immediately visible, and only then - the ship itself. This directly proves that, despite the apparent straightness of the horizon, it is curved by the spherical shape of the Earth.

7.Sundial.

The sundial effect is calculated based on the shadow cast by the Sun at different times. By sticking a stick into the ground, you can observe how the shadow from it gradually changes its shape. And if the world were a plane, the position of the wand would not affect the shape of the shadow, and at different points it would be identical. However, even a seemingly insignificant distance of several tens of kilometers between two experimental rods gives a different result, and the shadows differ by at least a few tenths of a millimeter. This principle was used even before our era when calculating the circumference of the Earth, which was carried out by Eratosthenes.

8. documentary facts.

And although flat earthers claim that photographs from satellites and space flights are a hoax, balloonists are firmly convinced of their existence. Numerous images of our planet obtained from outer space, flights to the Moon and exploration of other planets are the scientific heritage that humanity has achieved over hundreds of years of experiments and developments. True, considerable funds are invested in these studies, and their effectiveness is confirmed only by photographs, but this is already the other side of the coin.

Flat Earth in the context of contemporary art

No matter how controversial the theory that denies the generally accepted shape of our planet, it has repeatedly surfaced in the works of science fiction writers, filmmakers and writers. One need only recall the well-known Chronicles of Narnia by Clive Lewis to understand that this idea appeals to a wide audience. The cosmology of Narnia presents the idea of ​​the plane of the Earth, beyond which lies paradise - Aslan. The heroes go there, following the routes of an old map, reminiscent of a medieval one.

The English science fiction writer Terry Pratchet devoted a whole series of works to the concept with the predictable name Discworld. According to him, based on ancient Indian myths, four elephants support the disk-shaped planet, and those, in turn, stand on a centuries-old turtle. And what about Pirates of the Caribbean, beloved by a multimillion-dollar crowd of spectators? Captain Jack Sparrow's team managed to reach the end of the planet, where a bottomless waterfall was seething.

This concept was not bypassed by domestic writers. So, the story "The Monk at the End of the Earth" by Sergei Sinyak describes an expedition to the heavenly dome, after which its participants were subjected to repression by the state. However, the results of the expedition were undeniable: flight into space is nothing more than a fiction based on a distortion of the picture of the universe.

Afterword

What to believe, what concept to adhere to is a personal matter for everyone. It is more convenient for some to believe that the Earth is a ball, while others are also unshakably convinced that our planet is flat. One way or another, it is not possible for most people to go up into space in order to visually verify the correctness of one of these movements, so we will have to use what we have - eyes, logic and common sense. It is enough to close textbooks, open a satellite map and drive a considerable distance along it, checking the mileage and trajectory with official data. Simple practical experiments will allow you to understand where reality ends and hoax begins.

It is best to end this argument with the words of the wisest Dalai Lama: “Anyway, all this is very insignificant, isn't it? The basis of the Doctrine is; what they say about the structure of life, about the nature of suffering, about the nature of the mind. This is the foundation of the teaching. This is what matters most; that is directly related to our lives. Whether the world is square or round does not matter much as long as prosperity and peace reign in it.

Subject " flat earth» Do you find it funny? Then I'll remind you. Just 500 years ago, everyone KNEW that the Earth was Flat, and those who said that the Earth was Round took a serious risk. At best, friends, acquaintances and relatives looked at him as a "lunatic". At worst, he was burned at the stake by religious fanatics.

Now this story has a sequel...

Earth became again flat, but now no one will burn you. Most people still do not understand what is written, because they have not learned to think with their heads. However, this is not about you. And treat the article with humor.

Piece: "The Flat Earthers Strike Back."

Scene 2: "Evidence for a Flat Earth".

Characters:

Professor Sharov — (PW ). He talked about the Round Earth. . I hope you have seen his official answers. Because now the thing that we love most on this site will begin - “Melting Our Reality «.

Professor Wonderful — (PZ ). Talk about Flat Earth. Right now.

You -simple buyer.

Did I read Scene 1?

1. Our world.

You : Good afternoon Professor Wonderful (PZ ), I just talked to your colleague Sharov about our world, and somehow he didn't look 100% entirely convincing. What do you have?

PZ : I have a model and flat earth map. She looks like this.

PZ : Our world is a Flat Disc surrounded by an ice wall. Therefore, water does not leak anywhere and it is impossible to fall from the edge. The ice wall is officially called Antarctica, covers the entire disk, how far it goes into the depths - we don't know, maybe - to infinity. Or maybe a hundred kilometers there is life. The military closed Antarctica with a special treaty from 1959. Therefore, it is not so easy to get there. Alas.

The Flat Earth map is officially called in science Azimuth Projection.

More details: From above we are covered by the "Dome" - a structure UNDER which the Sun and the Moon rotate, plus the rest of the "planets". The height of the Dome is 5 thousand km. The moon rotates just below the sun. Stars are light bulbs on the Dome.

You : It's clear. Professor Sharov, can you remind me of your version?

PS: Earth is the planet on which we live, and our model is called Globe, from Latin globus -> ball. The surface is 29% land, 71% water. A simplified model of the Earth looks like this.

PS : The Sun - 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system, is located in the center. The planets revolve around the sun. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. visually below.

You : It's clear. Refreshed memory. Question for you PZ . There is generally accepted evidence that is usually taught in schools as confirmation that the Earth is round. Can you refute them or show an alternative explanation?

PZ : Oh sure. Show me your evidence and I'll comment on it.

What's more, I'm willing to pay 1000 dollars the one who refutes evidence that the earth is flat. You are interested?

You : Yes, I want to earn $1000 if you're not kidding. But first, refute the evidence for a round earth. Ready?

PZ: I seriously offer a deal. Ready.

You: Proof 1. The ships go beyond the horizon and the hull disappears first, and then the sail disappears. This is not proof of the curvature of the Earth's surface?

PZ: No, not proof. The ship simply decreases on the horizon and disappears as soon as it passes " convergence point", that is, goes beyond" visibility horizon". You can return it back if you take binoculars.

How vision works.

An object that is receding from you reaches a point on the horizon when it is too small for you to see anything. Here is the point in the center in the figure where the road shrinks into a point. This point is called « convergence point «, the point where parallel lines IN THE EYE converge. Such is our vision on Earth.

We use 2 eyes to determine the distance to the object.

That is, the further the object is from us, the smaller it will be. And even 2 parallel lines are still removed and reduced to Points of convergence of the lens of the eye. This skill is very useful for PREDATOR HUNTERS (us, in the past). Determine distance to prey or danger .

Even 1 eye is still able to show us the Distance, because the light passes through the edges of the lens (points 1, 2, 3, 4). Pupil = ROUND LENS, not a narrow SLIT. Therefore, even 1 eye is very cool!

We see an object up to 7 km away on the horizon. The physical size of the pupil does not allow you to see further.

Practice.

Here are 2 parallel railway tracks. They are parallel to each other for thousands of kilometers ahead, WAYS DO NOT CROSS, DO NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AT ALL, otherwise the train would not have been able to travel for weeks along the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok.

But, you see how 4 parallel rails converge to a point on the horizon, right? So it is with the ship. Curvature has nothing to do with it. Curvature is the most primitive way to explain all these effects.

Keep in mind that hot air or water vapor can interfere with seeing a ship in the distance and above the horizon.

Here, for example, is the phenomenon of a mirage. When in the summer the effect hangs over a hot road, like a wet puddle. I think everyone has seen it in their lives. The middle dividing line disappears into " puddle«.

Object, ship-machine will swell and shrink with distance. The wheels will disappear first, because it is closest to the ground, although the road is absolutely flat in front of you. The same is true at sea.

Water and wind create waves. Waves breaking on the surface of the water create a lot of small splashes and all this mass hangs above the surface of the sea. It is clear that the sail will be the first to rise above the thick mass, a mist of drops. After all, you look almost parallel to the surface of the water. A sail is the tallest object on a ship. The closer the ship is to you, the higher the sail will be above the surface of the water. Although, initially, you see the whole ship on the horizon. Just because of the small spray (kilometers away from the ship), you won't see its hull until it's close enough. You might as well try looking through the fog. Will it be strong?

You : According to Evidence 1: Features of vision, "vanishing point" + mirage + water vapor.

Proof 2: Moon and Lunar eclipses. We see how a semicircular shadow from the Earth creeps onto the Moon during eclipses. A semicircular shadow gives a ball or disk of the Earth to the Moon, and according to your theory, the Sun and Moon are above us. What then causes the eclipse in your model?

PZ : A solar eclipse is easy to explain. The Sun and Moon orbit above our head. And the Moon is a little lower than the Sun, so when their path intersects, we see it as a semicircular shadow (of the Moon) creeping onto the Sun, and we have the Black Sun in front of our eyes.

For the lunar eclipse.

Let's begin with Moon by her own anomalous object on the whole head . You never wonder what we see always only 1 side of the moon? Why is that? Perfect synchronization of orbits? ---> or this artificial object? Why is everything in nature tied to the moon? The planting of plants, the migration of animals, even those very female cycles are perfectly synchronized with the cycles of the Moon, which last 28 days? Isn't it because of this that women have a shift of "women's days" by 4-5 days by the beginning of the month?

In a word, the Moon is a very strange object and behaves differently than an ordinary piece of the Stone overhead should. By the way, scientifically the Moon is a satellite of the Earth. A satellite can be either artificial(turned with its dish-antenna towards us), or natural.

Let's be kids for a minute. How about the fact that the moon was built by previous civilizations? We do not know this, but modern scientists do not know how the Moon ended up in the sky. The version of the impact of a meteorite on the Earth is nonsense. Because the moon has WATER . In an explosion, from a meteorite hitting the Earth, and then flying in a VACUUM, WATER not formed! So what's the point then? Just imagine what it could be artificial sphere with its own light source.

We can't see the other side of the moon, can we? And what's in there?

You : Imagined (fantasy), let the Moon be an artificial object, as in your version. Move on.

Proof 3. During Moon Phases we see semicircle in heaven and during Lunar Eclipse we see semicircle a shadow, that is, it is given by a semicircular object, "sphere / ball / disk" as you wish. How do you explain it?

PZ : These are 2 different phenomena: Lunar Phases and Lunar Eclipse.

As for the Moon phases, when you have a crescent moon in the sky, and not a full moon, this is due to the illumination of the moon. The earth has nothing to do with it. The moon is a ball-sphere, and a spherical body will still be illuminated. For example, the "lamp", which is located BEHIND THE MOON. Will now beexperiment with iphone 5.

Imagine there is a lamp inside the moon. And she turns. Are not such phases you will see?

As for the Lunar Eclipse, I already answered in the previous example. There is a third body or phenomenon that we do not yet know. For example, that the moon has its own light source INSIDE, and a semicircular disk passes between the light and the surface, obscuring the light. Moreover, its size can be thousands of times smaller than the moon itself. You don't need the sun for this.

By the way, the Moon does NOT reflect sunlight, as official scientists say, but is the source of its own OWN light, easy to install on this example. If you have a Sphere (ball), then we know perfectly well how light will be reflected from it. Like this.

I didn't see a spot on the moon. And you?

You : Proof 4. World travel? Sailing or flying all the time to the East or to the West, you will arrive at the same point from where you started sailing. Isn't that talking about the Round Earth?

PZ : Simple experiment. Take a plate of water, put a powerful magnet in the middle of the plate, lower a small boat with a compass in there and move to the West. You are moving only to the West, and will make a round-the-world trip on a saucer!

Here is tea with lemon. If the lemon wedge twists around the center while remaining peeled towards the rim of the cup, it will make " trip around the world' by your cup.

Schematically: You are always move to the WEST. The magnetic compass shows all the time to the north .

This is what a round-the-world trip above a flat Earth looks like.

This is what Ferdinand Magellan's journey around the Earth looked like 1519-1522.

You: Proof 5. If all body over our heads Round then why should we think that our earth flat?

PZ : Here is a billiard table with Round Balls on it. Table, according to your logic = Round?

You : The table is naturally flat,

Proof 6. Availability of time zones when in some parts of the planet it is night, and in other parts of the planet it is day. How to explain? Is it not the rotation of the Round Earth?

PZ : No. And what about the turn? The sun moves over the surface of the Flat Earth, in the place where it is bright. Where it is not, there is Night.

Why does the Sun not illuminate the entire disk if it is at a height? Very simple. Here is a light bulb that does NOT light up the entire wall. The wall is too big, like the surface of the Earth.

SIGNS:

IF EARTH IS FLAT
why don't we see sunlight 24 hours a day?

Explanation:

For the same reason that a small lamp cannot illuminate the entire wall.

LIGHT SOURCE = SMALL + MOVING.

You : How do the seasons work? Why is it cold in winter and hot in summer?

PZ : The sun moves from North to South throughout the year. When we are hot - the Sun moves along the Yellow trajectory close to the North Pole ( Tropic of Cancer). When it's cold here, it rotates along the Red trajectory (Tropic of Capricorn), far from the North Pole, but it's Hot in the Southern Hemisphere. And, yes, the Sun moves much faster in the Southern Hemisphere to make its 360 degrees in 24 hours.

The fact that we have Winter in December, and in Australia - Summer, says this picture. Christmas - December 21 in Australia is celebrated in costumes of Santa Claus right on the beach.

You : Then we do not leave the Sun and the evidence of the Flat Earth. I'm interested in 2 more things: polar day and Polar night. When 24 hours a day is light and 24 hours a day is dark. You know this phenomenon, don't you? In official science, this is explained by the tilt of the Earth by 24.5 degrees and the location of the Earth relative to the Sun.

PZ : polar day- this is when the sun does not set below the horizon for 24 hours. That is, it spins above the Horizon Line, approaching the horizon, but not disappearing below it.

Interestingly, the photographs of the Polar Day and Night most often show from the North Pole, but very rarely they are shown from the South Pole. Do you know why? Because in the Flat Earth theory, the Sun does not illuminate the South Pole 24 hours a day. But there are no problems with the North Pole.

Here is an example.

How to check South Polar Day?

No way.

The South Pole is CLOSED for visiting, CLOSED for inspection. There are only government"scientific stations" and " military". Both the first and second government + military) are known as liars with a long, long history... It's not for me to tell you. So there are only 2 options left:

1. There are no days at the South Pole when the Sun is 24 hours above the horizon.

2. There is Polar Day at the South Pole, when the Sun is 24 hours above the horizon.

But, even if it is really shown that there is a Polar Day in Antarctica, then we have a theory. It uses the concept of reflected light from the DOME. Schematically and mathematically it looks like this.

By the way, since we have already started talking about Antarctica, then all of our people are showing some unhealthy interest in it. Earth Elite .

Chronicle for 2016:

1. February 12, 2016 Patriarch Kirill found in the Pope. February 18, 2016 - urgently flies to Antarctica.
2. Beginning of March 2016 - US President Obama flies to Argentina, from where he travels for several days in Patagonia. The territory borders on Antarctica, what he did for a couple of days is unknown. In the delegation with him was a representative of NASA.
3. November 11-12, 2016 - US Secretary of State John Kerry 3 days after the US elections - flies to Antarctica and is there, signing another agreement , which prohibits the entry of fishing vessels into the waters near Antarctica.

Some strange stirring around the icy wastelands among politicians and religious figures. Don't find?

But, let's leave that aside. Let's go back to the Sun and the evidence for a Flat Earth.

You A: Interesting, but that's later. Now m I am interested in the fact that the Sun should decrease in size if it simply moves away from us, and not set below the horizon in a huge disk with the same dimensions. After all, you say that the Sun simply moves above our head in a circular path.

PZ : Let's talk seriously about the Sun.

This video will be enough to prove that the Sun is decreasing in size, moving away from us in a straight line, when it goes to the horizon. Taken from observatory ABOVE cloud level. Link .

Now look here. You must understand that we very often see the Sun that sets above the level of the Earth. Mountains, hills, obstacles, buildings often block our view. And since they are much closer to them than to the real horizon, you see how the big and round Sun hides behind the "visible" horizon, although in fact, it is just REMOVED in a straight line and REDUCED.

Decreases BEFORE "vanishing point".

In this case, the point of convergence closed by a mountain. Therefore, the Sun is hidden from our view by a large disk, but still decreasing along the way.

Here simple experiment in flat earth proof, you can make it at home. Stretch the string across the room so that it has the same height from wall to wall. Place obstacles in his way, such as a book or a board (in this video, it's 4 bottles of beer that hold the carton), and so that the obstacle is below the thread. And then look from ground level to see what it looks like.

Get this is the "effect".

The sun will move away from you, and the BIG will go “beyond the visible horizon”, and not a point. That's all. No rotation of the Round Earth is needed for this.

This experiment didn't impress you?

Okay, then what about an obstacle on the horizon like iPhone 6? Camera on the ground distance of 110 meters from the camera to the person? Consider that in our case IPHONE is a MOUNTAIN.

THE MAN IS VISIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

You : And the last question about the Sun and the Moon - how do they fly in a lateral orbit? What keeps them in the sky?

PZ : magnetic levitation. Here are working devices with magnetic levitation.

Lamp ,
computer mouse,
armchair sofa ,
maglev train on a magnetic cushion.

Incidentally, this also explains ebbs and flows on the ground. Water repels magnets ! And the Moon and the Sun = magnetic background sources, so they are just " push the water apart» underneath and she runs off to the shore. Gravity here, as always, is superfluous. Ebb and flow is only in the Oceans and Seas with salt water, which are in the path of the movement of the Sun and Moon.

At home, check how ordinary tap water reacts to a comb. Just before that, run through your hair to transmit an electric discharge

The faucet is pure fresh water! And sea water reacts even better to electricity. There SOOOOOOOOL!

The ebbs and flows have nothing to do with the gravity of the MOON. Because most gravity doesn't exist at all. This is Newton's fantasy and invented power, how to describe the world and facts at the beginning of the 19th century. This is how the electromagnetic repulsion of the Moon and Water looks like. Schematically.

You:Proof 7. Photos from satellites? Photo from above? Are you still saying the earth is flat?

PZ: Have you heard about special effects in photography? And fisheye lenses, right? These lenses bend the image a lot in order to cover a large area. Here are some examples:

1. Real round walls? Below = no distortion.

4. Round subway cars.

5. The spire of the church bows to the building on the right

6. Square Curves…

Horizon = Curvature.

What does the proof of a spherical Earth look like?

Now back to Space and the ISS. Here is a picture from 2008. Where is NASA recognized , that pictures are taken through a fisheye. These lenses are at the MIR station. Come in, check it out.

Here is the same picture in Wikipedia , where it says that the curvature of the Earth is due to the "Fish Eye".

Why use if the earth is round?

Correct, to warp a flat image, such as curvature proof.

Although all the photos, without corrections, tell us otherwise. Earth is flat! From any height!

You : Proof 8. Ballooners claim that with height we see farther, because we see beyond the horizon.

PZ : An absolutely stupid argument from the Sharovers (like all the others, by the way). Why?

Because

Here is an example - a flat lawn near the house. If you put the camera at ground level and move away from it, then you " hide behind the horizon". Is this evidence that a flat field suddenly has a curvature? No. Link to video .

You : I like this explanation. Accurate and with evidence.

Proof 9. And yet, what about the satellites? Communication / satellite TV / GPS? How are they explained on the Flat Earth?

PZ : Communication between continents without wires was long before satellites. The first transatlantic radio contact was successfully made in 1906, from Brant Rock, USA to Mahri, Scotland. Nobody heard about the satellites for the next 50 years, and the continents ALREADY communicated with each other.

Today, 99% of all Internet traffic is carried by submarine ocean cables between continents, and not via satellites.

Satellite dishes on homes are only called "satellite" because they all look at the horizon, NOT the sky, at a 90% angle. You see such antennas every day on houses and roofs, right? Are they looking vertically UP IN THE SKY at the satellite?

Or —————————> TO THE HORIZON?

"These antennas" receive conventional radio signals from conventional transmission towers standing on the ground but not from outer space. Can you see the tilt of the antenna?

What you see with your own eyes on the houses is called " tropospheric» radio communication.

The distance of "tropospheric radio communication" is 300-800 km. The signal bounces off the ionosphere. What modern scientists call the "Ionosphere", I call the "Dome". It's a flat-earth dome that bounces radio waves down to Earth.

And everything that is less than 300-800 km can be covered with additional 300 meter towers, as shown below. The signal "on the dish" comes from the radio towers.

Do you recognize these engineering creations 200-300 m high?

Why do you need TV satellites? Everything works without them.

You: What about GPS and Flat Earth?

PZ: GPS - Global Positioning System. Its only purpose is to convince you that it " GLOBAL “, i.e. = GLOBE, i.e. BALL! And how does it work?

In cities, she works at the expense of mobile towers. And 3 towers are enough to determine your location exactly to the meter. It is called - Triangulation .

Outside the cities, there is an ordinary radio network with powerful towers that cover most of the Earth. It was first used during the Second World War to navigate ships and aircraft, when no one had heard of satellites. next 20 years... The accuracy of determining the ship at sea is 150 meters with a range of 1,500 km! Name - LORAN and DECCA. Come in, check it out.

Here is the tower LORAN 190 meters high in Canada.

In 2000 they were renamed GPS and shoved into your cell phone with beautiful cards. The system is operated by the US military, and how it actually works you will never know. Just as you won’t find out why the Kursk nuclear-powered ship sank, and how many full-time military of the Russian Federation died in the Donbas and in Syria. The military will always lie.

As you understand, positioning systems worked successfully BEFORE even the idea of ​​... SATELLITE ...

You: Anyone else know about this theory?

PZ : Everybody knows. This is not a secret. For example, NASA in its calculations and models of aircraft flight in the air uses a model of a FLAT and NON-ROTATING Earth.

That is, future pilots are taught on models that have not heard that curvature must be taken into account, or that the surface of the Earth rotates under them. Why? Because it doesn't really exist.

You can download the document . E it is written on the first page in the first paragraph.

Here is another document for FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, USA), which states that flight simulation software should be as close to reality as possible for high-quality pilot training in the air, training controllers on the ground. Therefore, everything must be exactly in calculations.

Various situations and behavior of the aircraft in the sky are played here. "The Engineering Analysis and Design of the Aircraft Dynamics Model For the FAA Target Generation Facility". You can download.

On page 32 it says in plain text: we we do not take into account the rotation of the Earth, and the flight passes over flat earth«.

Simulation as close to reality as possible, right?

So what is our Reality then, dear pilots?

Official cards?

Here is the official flat earth map for a wide range of users. Created in 1892 year, a paper copy is kept in the library of Boston, USA. What is interesting in it?

3 moment!

Moment 1 : Right at the top of the card is written in large letters

"AS IT IS"

which means " in fact »

Moment 2: Right and Left says: scientifically correct« (scientifically and ) and " practically true« (practically correct). Seriously

Moment 3. The bottom of the map shows how the Sun moves in June and December. Where do they come from June 21 and December 21.

June Solstice.

« The white oval shows the location of the Sun in the Tropic of Cancer, in June, at noon. This causes 24 hours of sunshine in the Polar Regions (Polar Day). After June 21st, the Sun begins to spiral towards the South until it reaches its final point on December 21st.«

December Solstice.

« On December 21, the Sun moves across the Tropic of Capricorn, and as it moves, it illuminates the South Antarctic ice sheet. There is no light below 80º S, only unexplored regions of ice. On December 23, the Sun completes its South move and begins to move back towards the North Pole, ending its season."

In addition, all the most serious organizations in the world such as the UN - the United Nations, ICAO - the International Civil Aviation Organization, IMO - the International Maritime Organization, WMO - the World Meteorological Organization use the Flat Earth map. irony, true?

Organizations that control the globe,
use flat earth map..

question in a million: Can you find Antarctica here?

Pilots.

Sailors.

Climatologists.

Did you find Antarctica?

And it is considered the 6th continent of the Earth, actually ...

Google reveals original drawing for Winter Solstice . So, by the way. There's nothing special here.

2. Question 2. What experiment was carried out to reveal Gravity? - Answer . There is nothing to check here, Gravity does not exist, it is a fictional force that exists only on paper.

3. Question 3. How does the water in the oceans curve in an arc? - Answer . No way. Water in the oceans in a horizontal position, from the North Pole to Antarctica.

4. Question 4. Is the curvature of the Earth taken into account when building long bridges, rails, shipping channels and pipelines? - Answer . No, it is not taken into account, because there is no curvature. There is only height.

5. Question 5 . Physics of the XXI century. standard model elementary particles of our Universe (in short, how everything works in the world) includes only 3 forces: electromagnetic, weak and strong interaction, does NOT include gravity in its calculations. - Answer . He does the right thing by not turning it on, because gravity does not exist.

6 . Question 6. How did the Vacuum of Space not suck out the Atmosphere? - Answer . Atmosphere protected by the Dome.

7. Question 7. Why doesn't gravity pull clouds? - Answer . Different density of air near the Earth and air at altitude.

9. Question 9. How rivers (water) can flow UP? - Answer . They can't and you know it. Water always flows down.

10. Question 10. Why do airplanes fly so strangely?- Answer .

Regarding the first example, the Bali-Los Angeles flight landed in Alaska. Here flat earth map and a straight line between the two cities.

About routes through Antarctica. Where to fly?

Fly in circles? From Africa to Australia, there's not enough fuel. From South America to Australia, there's not enough fuel. From Africa to South America, there's not enough fuel. Keep in mind that Antarctica goes in a circle for a distance much greater than the equator. And the equator itself is 40,000 km in circumference!

But, like this, flying in a straight line is the most it!

Therefore, no one will pull optical Internet cables from Africa to Australia and South America. It's VERY far away. Red zones are empty.

You : OK then. Governments know that the earth is flat. They have evidence of a flat earth, a map of a flat earth, then what is the benefit of hiding the truth?

PZ : Because there will be a disaster in science.

No Gravity = No Globe = No Rotation = No Big Bang = No millions of galaxies, planets and stars = No aliens = No Evolution = No link between living organisms and humans = Is that enough to keep silent about the shape of the Earth?

Gravity is a Religion for Scientists. Everything that cannot be clearly explained is explained by the mysterious word Gravity. From RELIGIONS DO NOT REFUSE!

Why is the earth round? — gravity .
Why do people not fly away from the rotating Earth? - gravity .
Why doesn't water fly away from the surface of the Earth and collect at the Equator, where is the maximum speed? - gravity .
Why is the moon in the sky? - gravity .

Replace the word " gravity» word « God «, and get the same result. Level explanations ZERO «.

Why is the earth round? — God decided so .
Why do people not fly away from the rotating Earth? — God decided so.
Why doesn't water collect at the Equator, where is the maximum speed? — God decided so .
Why is the moon in the sky? — God decided so.

I will say in secret:

« Gravity is the force that attracts the Absurd«.

Do you know why?

Because after Newton came up with Gravity, science has evolved this way for the last 300 years.

Scientists have realized thattheory of gravity will lead to a singularity (the whole universe will shrink, in the end, to a point) then they invented"Dark Energy". It is, in principle, Anti-Gravity. But, as a result of further calculations of the formulas, they realized that the expansion"Dark Energy" will lead to the rupture of Einstein's "space-time", and then they came up with"Dark Matter" which must balance"Gravitons" of gravity and "Dark Energy".

Before us is a fictitious force, which should explain another imaginary power, and so time after time when formulas don't stick.

But in fact: "Gravitons" do not exist, hence Dark Energy does not exist, hence Dark Matter does not exist. And when you are forced to believe in things that exist only on paper and in dreams, then this is not science, this is -"MAGIC".

Therefore, physics for 2017 rested its forehead against the wall and is waiting for a new Prophet who will explain what and how. Without "gravity" and other "magical entities".

What about us?

And we need other answers to questions as old as the world: “Who are we?”, And “What have they forgotten here?”. Without "magic", "gravity" and "ape-people theories".

ORIGIN OF THE WORLD:

1. Divine version of the world. You heard about it, the world in 6 days. According to the Bible.

2. Version - Big Bang with Evolution proposed priest Georges Lemaitre)) and Darwin.

“There was NOTHING, then suddenly nothing happened to this NOTHING and NOTHING exploded! Then all the exploded and scattered NOTHING magically transformed itself into matter and living particles, which still magically learned to copy themselves, multiply ... And then there were dinosaurs ...

How do you like this theory from the Catholics of the Vatican? It is considered official "in science" for 2017. Seriously!

More options?

3. The most obvious is theory, about which we wrote recently. We live in the Matrix (Digital Universe), and it seems that this is a game for our distant descendants, for example, children 2100. People of the Future play the games of the Past. How we play computer games about Greece, Feudalism and the Middle Ages. And our descendants play us - with 100% immersion in the virtual reality of the Past. As fantastic as it may sound.

Generally.

PS: You won't be able to drag your flat earth theory into mainstream science. She is absurd.

Hello dear reader! In this article, we will continue the theme of a flat earth and present one more fact proving the correctness of this theory. Do not rush to spit at the monitor if you are a skeptic of this topic, but simply study the proposed material and check it yourself.

Of course, it is not given to a larger number of the population to check what the map of the world in which we live should actually be. But a curious mind always wants to believe that our world is not the way we used to see it. And not only people live on this big earth.

But sooner or later we will figure out all this confusion!))

Map of the World: False or Real?

So, on our agenda. This is how it is presented to us from childhood:

Everything is simple. We find a map of the world of flat earth on the Internet:

What do you see? Doesn't this ratio of continents remind you of the sizes that Yandex showed us? Coincidence or accident?

But that is not all...

Comparison

Here is the official emblem of the UN:

Do you notice anything?

• Firstly, it has just all the continents in relation to each other of the size that the Yandex ruler shows us;
• Secondly, it is very similar to a flat earth map. Don't find?

Question to skeptics - How so?)

Is this a coincidence or have we really been pushed the wrong way since childhood? And most importantly, why are they doing it? And why is Russia artificially enlarged, as if they wanted to scare someone with their mass)) Or cover it up? After all, against the background of huge Russia, Australia is lost visually. Maybe they are hiding something on its territory? And they want people to look anywhere but at tiny Australia? Hmm... One can only guess...

Call to action

Unfortunately, we cannot rise into space, but we have the Internet, brains and eyes. Close all textbooks, we don't know where is the truth in them and where is the lie. Become pioneers without looking back at history.

Start doing practical experiments. For example, get into a car and drive yourself a long distance from one city to another and compare it with the official map on Yandex.

Let's look for inconsistencies in our strange world together.

Take part in the survey

Article in VIDEO FORMAT

Dear Friends, leave your comments and practical observations below this article.

It hides not only the real sizes, but also the continents. We will definitely tell you about one of them on the pages of the site, soon.

Hello, friends! What if you find out that there is no space, the earth is flat, there are several suns? NASA is funded by the secret world government, led by the Masons, to mislead everyone living on the planet. No one has been in space, the moon is artificial.

Isn't it shocking statements that at first glance seem like the ravings of a crazy ignoramus? But do not rush to twist your finger at the temple.

There is a considerable army of adherents, growing every day, for whom the theory of a flat earth is not nonsense or pseudoscientific fiction, but, on the contrary, seems to be the only truth.

Proponents of this theory conduct experiments, studies, provide hundreds of weighty evidence that we do not live on a geoid ball, spinning around its axis and rushing around the sun at a speed of 30 km per second, but on a flat "plate" covered with a transparent dome .

This topic is incredibly mind-boggling. A thousand and one questions immediately arise: how then do the oceans not pour out, why do we not see the sun at night, what about all these photos and videos of space expeditions, planets, moons, space suits, shuttles, moon rovers, satellites, astronauts? This is what the article will be about.

flat earth society

At school, we were taught that only ancient people believed in such fairy tales. Remember where you can find references to a flat earth? In Sumerian, Scandinavian, cosmogonic mythology, among the ancient inhabitants of Egypt, Babylon, Greece, in biblical legends, Vedic literature, in Hinduism and Buddhism.

This was all in antiquity, in the Middle Ages there were also followers of this theory. In our time, it is generally accepted that the earth has the shape of a ball, or rather, the shape of a geoid, and all ancient ideas are swept aside and recognized by modern science as absolutely untenable.

However, this does not mean that everyone safely abandoned the ancient treatises, forgot about the ideas of their ancestors and believed school textbooks. There is a so-called "Flat Earth Society". It originated in England in the 19th century with the light hand of the English inventor Samuel Rowbotham. He conducted various experiments and experiments, during which he saw what he wanted to see - the earth is flat.

Under the pseudonym Parallax, he wrote a small book called "Zethetic Astronomy", where he detailed the results of some of his experiments and evidence that the earth is not spherical, and the surface of the world's oceans is a flat plane.

For several years, the book was reprinted, each time the number of pages in it increased, as did the number of followers of Rowbotham's theory. Parallax himself conducted paid lectures, sometimes behaved aggressively, and was even able to attack those who dared to disagree with his point of view.

Followers appeared in America and Europe, the movement subsequently spread throughout the world. Hitler, by the way, was also an adherent of this theory. The most interesting thing is that there are more and more supporters of this idea, the society has broken up into several different movements and organizations.

It doesn't matter that many scientists empirically proved the truth of the statement that the earth is spherical, adherents of the "flat theory" do not pay attention to this and give their unshakable arguments. It is enough to type the appropriate query in the search engine and voila! A whole bunch of videos, facts, evidence, reasoning, rebuttals, forums, discussions on this topic.

But before moving on to describing the most common and similar arguments, let's look at the main postulates of the adherents of the flat earth theory:

• Imagine a disk in the center of which is the north pole, the diameter of the disk is a little more than forty thousand kilometers - this is our planet.
• The earth is covered with a transparent dome, above which the sun rotates and, like spotlights, this provides a change of day and night, gravity, in its usual representation, does not exist.
• There is no Antarctica, and instead of the South Pole, the edge of the earth, it is surrounded by an ice wall around its entire circumference.
• All photographs from space are fakes processed in Photoshop or other programs. Spaceships and other contraptions are made of cardboard and plywood, all space travels are filmed from fictional scenarios on earth.
• The dominant point of view about the sphericity of the earth is just a conspiracy sponsored by the Masons to hide the truth from the entire population of the planet.
• Everyone who knows the truth: scientists, NASA employees, astronauts are funded by Freemasons and are also participants in the conspiracy.

Does the solar system exist

Let's start with the idea of ​​​​the solar system, does it look like it was taught at school: in the center of the Sun, around which the planets revolve, the Earth takes third place. Could this be true? According to the adherents of the flat earth society, of course not.

Why? Everything is logical: such a model of the solar system could exist if the sun hung motionless in space, but this is not so, because everything moves in space. If everything were so, then the sun, according to the logic of things, should fly at great speed, and the planets should follow it and spin in a spiral, but this cannot be.

The second fact: the force of attraction and repulsion of the planets and the sun. The force of attraction allows the planets not to “fly away” from the sun, and the repulsive force allows them not to collide with each other and keep at a certain distance from the sun.

But the masses of the planets are different. And if the solar system would exist in the model that is described in books, then planets with a larger mass should be closer to the sun, and with a smaller mass further, since the force of attraction for small planets is required much less than for large ones.

Small planets simply would not have enough repulsive force if they were at such a relatively small distance. So, our planet would be located in sixth place (according to its mass) in a number of other planets and it would be unrealistically cold on earth.

Evidence and facts

We will not torment you and move on to the most interesting: the evidence and facts that adhere to the theory that the earth is a flat disk, not a spinning ball.

Does atmospheric pressure not exist?

Let's figure it out. Atmospheric pressure was discovered empirically by the physicist Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the mercury barometer. He experimented with mercury and water, thus refuting Aristotle's statement that there is no emptiness in nature, that is, there is no vacuum.

Torricelli proved that vacuum exists, and there is also atmospheric pressure, which presses on any body. But this trick doesn't work with water. Why did it turn out with mercury, it can also turn out with alcohol.

In fact, water barometers also exist, but they are very large, because it takes many times more water than alcohol or mercury to start evaporating. You can read more books or the internet about this experience. Yes, the question still arises, where did Torricelli get a whole bucket of mercury, which is thirteen times heavier than water, and even radioactive? But that is another story.

So, as the supporters of the flat earth theory show us, in the case of Torricelli's experiment, no vacuum formed in the test tube, and the resulting apparent emptiness, in fact, just a vapor of mercury, which, at a minimum pressure at the very top of the inverted test tube, began to boil at room temperature. temperature. That is, it turns out that atmospheric pressure does not exist? And there is no gravitational force in the usual representation.

The space above the earth does not move anywhere, it becomes clear, adherents of the flat earth theory suggest looking at birds that fly freely, clouds that move depending on the direction of the wind.

And a helicopter or a balloon in general can hover motionless in the air and their pilots, according to the logic of things (well, if the earth is spherical and rotates) should see the moving earth under them, but this does not happen.

Then, even a stone thrown up and flying for a few seconds, then falling for a few seconds, should land many meters from the place of the throw, if the earth rotates, but this does not happen. Why? Because the earth is flat, the adherents of the anti-scientific theory answer.

Curvature of the earth beyond the horizon

Rowbotham began to conduct these experiments, in our time there are more of them, and they are diversified. If the earth is a sphere, then there is a curvature, and nothing should be visible beyond the horizon line. But in practice, such tall objects as lighthouses, mountains, statues are visible from such distances from which they should be significantly below the horizon line, and, therefore, should not be visible if the earth is spherical.

For example, the Needles lighthouse, located near Hampshire in the UK, whose height is 54 meters, is visible at a distance of up to 60 kilometers, and the curvature of the earth at this distance is 282 meters. It turns out that the point where the lighthouse is located should be 282 meters below the horizon line, if the earth is spherical. But this does not happen - the lighthouse is visible from such a distance.

The situation is the same with ships that are on the high seas, and we look at them from the shore. An illusion is created that moving away from the coast, the ship disappears beyond the horizon, which seems to confirm that the spherical earth has a bend.

However, if we take good equipment and adjust the magnifying zoom, the ship that "disappeared over the horizon" will reappear in our field of vision. That is, our vision is limited by the perspective dispersion point, and not by the horizon line. If you "arm the eye", then there will be no horizon line that limits visibility due to the curvature of the earth.

All photographs from space are a hoax, the sky is a dome, stars and the sun, and indeed the whole world is artificial. Airplane windows give the illusion of a rounded earth, but this is an optical illusion. Look at the UN coat of arms, isn't that a flat earth model?

Flying to the Moon: Truth or Big Deception

Supporters of the flat earth theory claim that the Americans have never been to the moon, for example, consider Apollo 11, on which the inhabitants of the earth allegedly made the first trip to the moon.

If you zoom in on the photo, you can see what the "lunar rover" is made of: oilcloth, cardboard, foil, plastic and other material that is by no means intended to overcome atmospheric pressure, and even more so travel into space.

Click to enlarge

This is just a mock-up photographed against the background of the astronauts, who are all freemasons without exception. In some photos, you can even see that on the fingers of the astronauts or on their wrists there are rings or watches with generally accepted Masonic symbols: a compass and a square, inside of which is the letter G.

Where are photos taken from Mars?

The situation is the same with photographs that were allegedly taken on Mars. Adherents of the "flat theory" argue that the images from Mars are actually just processed photographs of the earth's surface, taken in certain places.

Have you seen pictures from the Red Planet - a rocky lifeless place? The fact is that if you pass them through the Photoshop filter, it will become clear that in these pictures it’s quite a surface of the earth, over which the blue sky stretches. Such landscapes can be found in many regions of our planet.

Air routes

Using the flat earth theory, it is easy to explain some seemingly illogical air travel. For example, from Sydney () to Santiago (Latin America) it is convenient to fly directly with refueling, for example, in New Zealand. But in fact, the route passes through North America.

If you look at a round globe, it turns out that the plane in this case makes a strange angle. And if you transfer the same route to a flat earth map, you can see that this is a direct adequate path.

This can be checked on almost any route, applying which to a flat earth map, it becomes clear that such a flight path is very logical and adequate, which cannot be said about them when applied to a spherical model.

moon, sun, stars

The picture will be incomplete without understanding what is actually (or not really, but according to the adherents of the theory of flat earth) the moon, sun and stars. Here again we see the claim that all photographs "in the moon" are taken on earth.

The Flat Earth Society even conducts special expeditions, the purpose of which is to search for places on our planet where supposedly space photographs are taken. During such an expedition to Iceland in August 2015, they shot landscapes that are exactly the same as those pictures and videos that we are told that they were taken on the moon.

Astronauts participating in the Apollo program (recall that this was the first manned landing on the moon, which ended in 1975) one and all refused to swear on the Bible that they really were on the moon. Fragments of this video are easy to find on the Internet. Some of the astronauts swear, some avoid answering, some rudely send a journalist who asks to swear on the Bible about the reality of walking on the lunar surface.

We present you a video that proves that flying to the moon is a fiction:

If we collect all the arguments, add to them the data obtained as a result of observations by some alternative researchers, season the information received with knowledge about the flat earth and systematize the material, it turns out that the Moon is not a satellite of the earth, it does not exist in principle. How do we see it? This is a huge hologram hanging from above and periodically updated.

Now let's turn to the stars. It is known that astrology is the oldest science and many constellations, such as Ursa Major, were discovered thousands of years ago. And during this time, the constellations have not changed in any way. Isn't it strange if all the bodies in space are constantly moving at a huge different speed?

In addition, if the Earth is constantly rotating around its axis, and even around the sun, then why do we see the same stars above our heads on starry nights? After all, the earth turns to them in different directions, moreover, it flies around the sun, and the stars “stand” as if rooted to the spot in the same place. Doesn't this seem absurd? We don’t know about you, but it seems to supporters of the flat earth theory. They claim that stars are also holograms.

Now let's deal with the Sun. Is the sun also a hologram? There are many pictures, articles and videos that indicate the presence of not one, but many suns, and they "hang" in different parts above our earth and shine in different ways. There are even listings with brief descriptions of all seventeen suns, from California to Chinese. Of course, scientists will say that this is all nonsense. But let's see how the adepts who believe in a flat earth explain this.

The fact is that the sun cannot have such a color as we see it (from yellow to red). Indeed, according to the official theory, the blue color of the sky is due to the fact that the light of the sun, passing through the atmosphere, is divided into spectra and one of the spectra (blue-blue) colors the sky in this color. Why then does the sun itself appear yellow?

Since we see it through the atmosphere, it must also be colored blue, like the sky. Does this mean that we see the sun not through the atmosphere? The sun is not above the atmosphere, but much lower and it is not real? What is the result?

The earth has the shape of a disk and is located under a dome from which artificial hologram lamps shine: the moon, the sun, the stars. If it is interesting to delve into this topic, then books, videos, materials distributed by adherents of the flat earth theory are easy to find.

Closer to the light source - warmer

Everyone loves to give book evidence based on theory. but no one can answer the simplest question without books.

When we get closer to a heat source, we get hotter. Why is it colder at airplane altitude than on the ground? No, do not write about the temperatures of a certain layer of the atmosphere, you still take it again from books and did not check it yourself.

Let's in fact - closer to the heat source - warmer. Those. closer to the sun should be warmer. But this is not actually the case. This suggests that the heat source is false. It must be much hotter in space than on earth in direct sunlight.

- the article clearly considers the sizes of the continents, which are shown by the official source - Yandex.Maps and which strongly contradict the world map that we have known since childhood.

Finally, I would like to point out that all information for the article was prepared and collected from free sources, the purpose of the article is not to persuade readers to one point of view or another. All material is for informational purposes only and we are interested in what you think about the theory of a flat earth. Which evidence seems to be the most weighty, and which is sucked from the finger?
