Dear Visitors, April 21, 2017

Thank you for stopping at FlatEarthLunacy.com

As a scientist with college degree in Astronomy, minor in Physics and Mathematics, I was appalled to find folks telling outright falsities and presenting bad science to bolster suspicion of our known accepted reality - that the Earth is a beautiful blue globe.

This blog clearly shows scientific proofs that debunk everything that flat Earth proponents claim. Here we also expose the comments those YouTube video channels delete, because they don't want you to see them.

The Earth is not flat. That claim is a conspiracy theory perpetrated by ignorant people who have ulterior personal motives and agendas.

The Earth is a beautiful blue spheroid globe spinning on an axis 23.5° once each day, and orbiting the Sun every 365.25 days.

kind regards, Jonah The Scientist

Chris Curtis - fails simple high school math problem - at what altitude above the horizon is the star Polaris in the flat Earth sky?

Dear Chris Curtis,

I can hardly believe that you as a grown adult is arguing about this. It's just simple straight mathematics. And because you have a wrong answer, have you based your flat Earth stance upon it?

Question:
If the North Star Polaris was only 3,000 miles above a flat Earth (just a flat plane), how high would it appear to be above the horizon from various places?

Get real. If you don't believe the following numbers, then just go to your local high school and ask a trigonometry teacher.

Using the following flat Earth map, with the North Pole at the very center, start counting latitude lines going left toward the edge...

So on a flat Earth, if you were standing at the North Pole, the star Polaris would be 90-degrees above the horizon, directly overhead.
Same as on the globe Earth.

So on a flat Earth, if you were standing at the Equator, the star Polaris would be 57-degrees above the horizon. But in reality it's not. The correct observed altitude is 0-degrees, as the star Polaris rests directly on the horizon. Millions of people can attest to this.

So on a flat Earth, if you were standing in Sydney Australia, the star Polaris would be 47-degrees above the horizon. But in reality, Polaris is not observable at all from Australia.

So on a flat Earth, if you were standing at the South Pole, the very edge of the flat Earth, the star Polaris would still be visible at an angle of 37-degrees above the horizon. But reality confirms that the star Polaris is nowhere to be seen on the Earth's southern hemisphere.

Calculating Sydney, Australia, trig function arctangent DEGREES(ATAN(3000 / 2780)) = 47^o altitude above the horizon.

The following diagram has been drawn to scale (height of the star Polaris at 3,000-miles, about the flat Earth radius)...

Summary: So Chris, please review these math figures and change your attitude. Based on the above calculations, the star Polaris is not 3,000-miles away and the Earth is not flat.

Get a new life bud. Please.

JonahTheScientist said,
You have not explained why Polaris is not visible from the Earth's southern hemisphere. Ask anyone in Australia. It is not, but should be if the Earth were flat.

Chris Curtis said,
Jonah TheScientist What does that have to do with anything. This has nothing to do with the shape of the earth. This has everything to do with the motion of the sky above us. This motion could be happening over a sphere. The point is the sky is moving.

Chris Curtis said,
The reason it would not be visible is because it is not 430 light years away. It is the light in the sky that is probably about 3000 miles above us.
