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.

Flat Earth NOT - The Bedford Level Experiment Redux 2016 - Part 1

The Bedford Level Experiment Redux 2016 - Part 1
Almost 150 years later, a segment of society is still engaged in DENIALISM:

In the psychology of human behavior, denialism is a person's choice to deny reality, as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth. Denialism is an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of a historical experience or event, when a person refuses to accept an empirically verifiable reality.Here is an interesting account of the Bedford Level Experiment, and the subsequent 2nd test and monetary bet between Alfred Russell Wallace and John Hampden.1.  In 1838 Samuel Birley Rowbotham performed what became known as the Bedford Level Experiment.  According to Rowbotham, the experiment proved the Earth to be flat.  The Old Bedford River is in the United Kingdom.    2.  In 1870 John Hampden published an ad in the paper giving £500 (by flat Earthers) to debunk Rowbotham’s experiment using the same canal.  John Hampden was a protestant rector's son who had read "Theoretical Astronomy Explained and Exposed" by William Carter, and Rowbotham's account at Bedford.  He wanted to rid the world of "the round Earth lie."3.  Alfred Russell Wallace (a founder of modern Biology, a scientist) accepted the challenge...4.  For this experimental attempt Hampden brought along William Carter as his referee.  Wallace brought along Martin Coulcher as his witness and referee.5.  During this attempt Hampden did not look into the telescope, situated just above the water line, to observe the final result.  He trusted Carter's view.6.  The data was sent to John Walsh, the editor of the Field Magazine. 

After adjusting Rowbotham's method to avoid the effects of atmospheric refraction, Alfred Russell Wallace found a curvature consistent with a spherical Earth.  So the original experimental results were misinterpreted by Rowbotham and therefore deemed flawed.7.  John Walsh confirmed Wallace the winner and published the results.8.  Hampden had to pay the £500 but sued Wallace for 15-years trying to get the money back.  Wallace accordingly had libel suits against Hampden as well as court orders to seize and desist.Alfred Russel Wallace failed to realize that flat Earth people are not rational. They ignored his experiment and evidence and insisted they were right.  THE SAME - STILL HAPPENING TODAY.

The primary issue is - both sides (flat or globe) conduct and experiment, but interpret the results differently.  The globe side uses established scientific principles.  The flat side says NO, it's due to something else.

Reference:

Zetetic Flat Earth - flat Earth advocate FAIL, exposed for making incorrect statements about the Moon as seen from both hemispheres
Non-composite images of the Earth from space


Reference Samuel Rowbotham. ... Rowbotham's method, which he called Zetetic Astronomy, models the Earth as an enclosed plane centered at the North Pole and bounded along its perimeter by a wall of ice, with the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars moving only several hundred miles above the surface of Earth.

Zetetic Flat Earth fails to explain why the orientation of the Moon is different when viewed from the northern and southern hemisphere of the Earth, at the exact very same date/time. 

Here is what it really looks like:

In the following video by YouTube channel dazzathecamerman, he clearly explains how Zetetic Flat Earth got it wrong.
We recommend that you watch them.
