Truth Seeking Pluralist

INTRODUCTION I have been actively engaged in debunking flat earth theory arguments for the last couple of months. At this point, we are only 3 days away from the Flat Earth International Conference https://fe2017.com/   FEIC 2017 to be held in Raleigh North Carolina. The precise location is 201 Harrison Oaks Blvd, Cary, NC at 35.833, -78.772 on the spherical earth map but at a TBD (to be determined) location on the flat earth map. And a trivial point of curiosity is that it happens to be exactly 43.2 miles or 66.6 km, sorry just kidding, 69.5 km (great-circle distance) from Hightowers, North Carolina (36.327, -79.244 on the spherical earth map). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hightowers,_North_Carolina Hightowers North Carolina   Are we really on the path to the total destruction of the globular earth as so many have come to know and love for so long? In just a few days? I offer some reflections. But first, GOBSMACKED Two nights ago I was doing some ...

Four days ago I felt compelled to make an offer to speak at the upcoming Flat Earth International Conference in Raleigh North Carolina on November 9-10, 2017. The text of the email I sent making this offer is pasted below. Since 4 days have elapsed and the only response I have gotten was a negative response from one of the speakers who was cc’d on my email, it seems clear that they are not interested in having me speak. After I sent the email below, a friend of mine referred me to a Youtube video by Flat Earth A$$hole, published October 25, 2017, entitled “The End of the FAKE Flat Earth.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvryGzjPpz8 Flat Earth A$$hole Youtube video I had heard of this guy, but had never watched any of his videos before. So I watched the whole thing, even though it was one hour and 5 minutes long, so that I could be prepared to intelligently discuss it with my friend. A major point of his video is showing that the azimuthal equidistant map in the shape of ...

First of all, buoyancy depends on gravity. If there is no gravity, there can be no such phenomenon as buoyancy. Look up the definition of buoyancy on Wikipedia or search buoyancy NASA on google, if you don’t believe it. If gravity is simply buoyancy and density then why does hot air rise and not go down instead, or sideways?   I’ll tell you why.   Because we live in an environment where there is a downward force acting on things based on their mass.   This can be experimentally verified and it does not depend on assuming the earth is a sphere.   If I put 5 apples in a grocery scale I will get a certain weight (force).   If I put an additional 5 apples of about the same size in the scale, the scale will register about twice the weight.   So the force known as buoyancy depends on this downward force proportional to mass.   This is why the deeper you go in a body of water the more pressure there is.   This is why the higher you go in the ...
