“In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was
flat, for which they had at least the evidence of their senses: we believe it
to be round, not because as many as one percent of us could give the physical
reasons for so quaint a belief, but because modern science has convinced us
that nothing that is obvious is true, and that everything that is magical,
improbable, extraordinary, gigantic, microscopic, heartless or outrageous is
‘scientific.’”-George Bernard Shaw
Modern astronomy has absolutely convinced the world, as George
Bernard Shaw stated, that nothing that is obvious is true.It is obvious that the Earth is flat, yet
they say it is curved; it is obvious that the world is motionless, yet they say
that it moves; it is obvious that the heavens revolve around us, yet they say
it is us that revolves; it is obvious that the stars are stars yet they say the
stars are suns; it is obvious that the Sun is bigger than the stars, yet they
say the stars are bigger than the Sun; it is obvious that the Sun and Moon are
the same size, yet they say the Sun is 400 times larger; it is obvious that
Earth is the only “planet,” yet they say there are over a septillion
(1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) planets; it is obvious that up is up and
down is down, yet they say it is not so!
“With the Modem Astronomer there is theoretically neither
‘Up’ nor ‘Down,’ though his experience belies his assertion, every time he
looks ‘up’ to the heavens or ‘down’ to the ground. Such aberration of intellect
is really to be pitied.” -David
Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (274)
“Astronomer Denison Olmsted, in describing a diagram
which is supposed to represent the Earth as a globe, with a figure of a man
sticking out at each side and one hanging head downwards, says ‘We should dwell
on this point until it appears to us as truly up,’ In the direction given to
these figures as it does with regard to a figure which he has placed on the
top!Now, a system of philosophy which
requires us to do something which is, really, the going out of our minds, by
dwelling on an absurdity until we think it is a fact, cannot be a system based
on God's truth, which never requires anything of the kind. Since, then, the
popular theoretical astronomy of the day requires this, it is evident that it
is the wrong thing, and that this conclusion furnishes us with a proof that the
Earth is not a globe.”-William
Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (65)
“The physical properties of a physical globe would create
insurmountable difficulties for the being called ‘man’ for man is a two-legged,
smooth-footed, clawless-toed, and heavily-built creature.Picture him on the outside of a sphere in our
popular 34 degree South latitude.He has
his boots on and his head is depressed in space 34 degrees to his feet.Consider him magnetized through his boots to
the center of the globe, where the ‘big magnet’ is located.Picture him looking down in to the gaseous
void, with his eyes gouging out of their sockets and his heart in his mouth;
and his prayer that his ‘hob-nailed’ boots will not lose their magnetism.No wonder the world’s brain got addled!The reader has been hoaxed by the stupidest
manifest hoax ever perpetrated.”-S.G. Fowler, “Truth - The Earth is Flat” (3)
It should be obvious that up truly is up and down truly is
down, that flat truly is flat, and still truly is still.It should be obvious the universe was
intelligently designed by an intelligent designer, purposefully created by a
purposeful creator.Yet modern “science”
and “astronomy” through centuries of deception and manipulation have obfuscated
the obvious and left people blinded to the simple truth.
“The one thing the fable of the revolving Earth has done,
it has shown the terrible power of a lie, a lie has the power to make a man a
mental slave, so that he dares not back the evidence of his own senses.To deny the plain and obvious movement of the
Sun he sees before him.When he feels
himself standing on an Earth utterly devoid of motion, at the suggestion of
someone else he is prepared to accept that he is spinning furiously round.When he sees a bird flying, and gaining over
the ground, he is prepared to believe that the ground is really travelling a
great number of times faster than the bird, finally, in order to uphold the imagination
of a madman, he is prepared to accuse his Maker of forming him a sensiferous
lie.”-E. Eschini, “Foundations of
Many Generations” (8)
The truth is that the Earth is not a “planet”; it is a plane.Other than the heights and depths of
mountains and valleys the Earth has no curvature or convexity and is for all
intents and purposes flat.Just as it
appears, the Sun, Moon and stars (fixed and wandering) all revolve around the
flat Earth which is the stationary, immovable center of the universe.The magnetic North Pole is the center of the
Earth and the universe.Polaris, the
North Pole star remains always significantly situated atop the dome of the
heavens, while the Sun, Moon, and stars revolve in circular cycles around
us.The truth is that all standing wateris always flat, the horizon is always flat, and all canals, tunnels and railways are built without regard for the supposed curvature or convexity of
the Earth.The light from lighthouses
can be seen at incredible distances only possible on a flat surface.The truth is pilots do not make constant nose
declinations or compensation acceleration to account for the supposed curvature
and rotation of the ball-Earth.The
truth is sailors do not use spherical calculations, but plane trigonometry when
navigating.
“Rational people believe Salisbury Plain to be a Plane,
and Lake Windermere to be horizontal, but our Astronomers say that this is all
a mistake, that we must not trust our eyes, when we see these or other such
places, as being horizontal, but that we should believe what they tell us, that
Salisbury Plain, Lake Windermere, as also all other plains, lakes, and places
upon the Earth, as well as the vast Pacific and all other oceans, are only
parts of a great Globe, and, therefore, must have a curve; besides which,
mirabile dictu, that all rush together round the Sun at the rate of 65,000
miles per hour! They give their law for this fancied curvature, based on the
world being 25,000 miles in circumference at the Equator, as being 8 inches for
the first mile, 2 feet 8 inches for the second, 6 feet for the third, and so
on, the rule being to square the number of miles between the observer and the
object, then multiply that square by 8 inches and divide by 12 to bring it into
feet, the quotient being the supposed curvature. Unfortunately, however, for
Astronomers, this theory does not agree with fact, for this rule of curvature
has been found to be utterly fallacious both on land and water. All houses have
to be built on level ground, but no allowance whatever is made for the
curvature of the Earth, and all compasses point North and South at the same
time even at the Equator, which incontestably proves that the sea is
horizontal, and, therefore, that the world is not globular, for if it were, one
end of the magnet would then dip towards the North and the other point to the
Heavens.”-David Wardlaw Scott,
“Terra Firma” (123-4)
The truth is that Antarctica is a giant ice wall holding in the
oceans and the South Pole does not exist!Various anomalies and differences between the Arctic and Antarctic prove
the earth is not a ball.The Arctic
midnight Sun proves the universe is geocentric.The truth is the Sun and Moon are equal divine balanced opposites made
for signs and seasons, to light the Earth, and divide day from night.The Moon is not merely a reflector of the
Sun’s light but emanates a demonstrably unique light of its own; It is completely
self-luminescent and semi-transparent.The
truth is that man has not and cannot ever walk on the Moon or Mars because the
heavenly bodies are simply luminaries and not terrestrial terra firma like the
Earth.The Moon and Mars landings were/are all hoaxes staged and filmed by Freemasons on Earth.Orbiting satellites and space stations do not
exist; all video and photographs you have ever seen from NASA, Hubble, and
other “official” sources are all CGI (computer-generated images).Gravity does not exist, and all “floating”
astronauts are simply using wires or filming aboard Zero G planes.Relativity does not exist, and that is why
Einstein is always sticking his tongue out at you!
“When we consider what the advocates of the Earth's stationary and
central position can account for, and explain their celestial phenomena as
accurately to their own thinking as we can ours, in addition to which they have
the evidence of their SENSES and Scripture and facts in their favour, which we
have not; it is not without a show of reason that they maintain the superiority
of their system . . . However perfect our theory may appear in our own
estimation, and however simply and satisfactorily the Newtonian hypotheses may
seem to us to account for all the celestial phenomena, yet we are here
compelled to admit the astounding truth, if our premises be disputed and our
facts challenged, the whole range of Astronomy does not contain one proof of
its own accuracy."-Dr.
Woodhouse, Cambridge Astronomy Professor
“The more I consider them the more I doubt all systems of
Astronomy; I doubt whether we can with certainty know either the distances or
the magnitude of any star in the firmament, else why do Astronomers so
immensely differ with regard to the distance of the Sun from the Earth?Some affirming it to be only three and others
ninety millions of miles away!”-Rev. John Wesley
“Many have been able to see through the delusions of
modern astronomy.Letters from various
parts testify that, in some cases, men and women have begun to make use of
their brain-power, which had been stunted and dwarfed by acceptation, without
the slightest proof, of the unscientific, unreasonable, unnatural and infidel
teachings of men foisted upon a credulous public in the name of ‘Science.’ Others again, tell that the writers have
thrown to the moles and to the bats the world-wide and almost universally
believed hoax that we are living on a whirling sea-earth globe, revolving
faster than a cannonball travels, rushing through ‘space’ at a rate beyond
human power to conceive, and flying - with the whole of the so-called ‘solar
system’ - in another direction twenty times the speed of its rotation.”-Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny -
Conclusive Evidence That the World is Not a Rotating Revolving Globe But a
Stationary Plane Circle.” (ii)
In conspiracy research, the term “globalist” usually refers to
“internationalists,” people in favor of a one world order, but more literally
and more accurately, as the U.N. world government logo shows, the term
“globalist” signifies those who propagate the centuries old myth of a globe
Earth.Heliocentricism and the
ball-Earth mythos have long been promoted by Masonic patriarchal pagan Sun-worshippers.In typical
sun-worshipping fashion the Sun was made to be the most important and central
entity of the so-called “solar system.”The Earth was demoted to being a mere planet like the wandering stars.All the fixed stars were turned into distant
suns as well!The Sun was said to be the
only giver of light and the Moon demoted to a mere reflector of the Sun’s
light.The Sun was said to be the
largest thing in our corner of the galaxy, bigger than the Earth, Moon and planets!
By removing Earth from the motionless center of the
Universe, these Masons have moved us physically and metaphysically from a place
of supreme importance to one of complete nihilistic indifference. If the Earth
is the center of the Universe, then the ideas of God, creation, and a purpose
for human existence are resplendent. But if the Earth is just one of billions
of planets revolving around billions of stars in billions of galaxies, then the
ideas of God, creation, and a specific purpose for Earth and human existence
become highly implausible.
By surreptitiously indoctrinating us into their scientific materialist
Sun-worship, not only do we lose faith in anything beyond the material, we gain
absolute faith in materiality, superficiality, status, selfishness, hedonism
and consumerism.If there is no God, and
everyone is just an accident, then all that really matters is me, me, me.They have turned Madonna, the Mother of God,
into a material girl living in a material world.Their rich, powerful corporations with slick
Sun-cult logos sell us idols to worship, slowly taking over the world while we
tacitly believe their “science,” vote for their politicians, buy their
products, listen to their music, and watch their movies, sacrificing our souls
at the altar of materialism.
“Such discrepancies remind me of the confusion which attended
those who in olden days attempted to build the Tower of Babel, when their
language was confounded, and their labour brought to nought. But no wonder is
it that their calculations are all wrong, seeing they proceed from a wrong
basis. They assumed the world to be a Planet, with a circumference of 25,000
miles, and took their measurements from its supposed centre, and from supposed
spherical angles of measurement on the surface. Again, how could such
measurements possibly be correct while, as we are told, the Earth was whirling
around the Sun faster than a cannon ball, at the rate of eighteen miles per
second, a force more than sufficient to kill every man, woman, and child on its
surface in less than a minute? Then, the Earth is supposed to have various
other motions, into the discussion of which I need not enter here, and will
only notice that of its supposed rotation round its imaginary axis at the rate,
at the Equator, of a thousand miles per hour, with an inclination of 23.5
degrees.”-David Wardlaw Scott,
“Terra Firma” (12-13)
“Ptolemy had made it appear
that the sun and stars revolved around a stationary earth, but Copernicus
advanced the theory that it was the earth which revolved around a stationary
sun, while the stars were fixed; and either of these entirely opposite theories
gives an equally satisfactory explanation of the appearance of the sun by day
and the stars by night. Copernicus did not produce any newly discovered fact to
prove that Ptolemy was wrong, neither did he offer any proof that he himself
was right, but worked out his system to show that he could account for all the
appearances of the heavens quite as well as the Egyptians had done, though
working on an entirely different hypothesis; and offered his new Heliocentric
Theory as an alternative. Ptolemy shows
very ingeniously that the Earth must be at the centre of the celestial sphere.
He proves that unless this were the case, each star would not move with the
absolute uniformity which does characterise it. He shows also that the Earth
could not be animated by any movement of transition. ‘The Earth,’ argued Ptolemy,
‘lies at the centre of the celestial sphere. If the Earth were to be endowed
with movement, it would not lie always at this point, it must therefore shift
to some other part of the sphere. The movements of the stars, however, preclude
this, and therefore the Earth must be as devoid of any movement of translation
as it is of rotation.’”-E. Eschini,
“Foundations of Many Generations” (6)
The Ptolemaic Geocentric system prevailed for over 1,400
years and even thousands of years before Ptolemy, Flat-Earth Geocentricism was
the widely accepted truth.The modern
Ball-Earth Heliocentricism popularized by the likes of Copernicus, Kepler,
Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and NASA, however, is a comparatively recent belief
system that has been foisted upon an unsuspecting world for 500 years.Ptolemy never imagined the scientific
magicians of the future would be so brazen, nor the public so gullible, as to
accept that we see no parallax change in the stars after hundreds of millions
of miles of supposed orbital motion, simply because all those stars are
trillions upon trillions of miles further distant at a sufficient enough scale
for no change in relative parallax to occur!How convenient!?Yet another
“fact” of modern astronomy which defies our common sense and experience!
“They expect us to ‘believe’ that the earth and sea
together comprise a flying globe (which they speak of as a solid ‘orb,’
supposed by astronomers to have been ‘originally shot off the sun in a soft
plastic mass, which, as the temperature decreased, gradually solidified,’) yet
not one single fact or proof can they produce for this far-fetched idea, and in
spite of the fact that the whirling globe theory was (even according to the
open confessions of its founders) set forth to the world in the first instance
as a mere ‘supposition,’ it is now presented as unquestionable truth.”-Lady Blount, “The Romance of Science”
“It was said, in effect, by Newton, and has ever since
been insisted upon by his disciples: ‘Allow us, without proof, which is
impossible, the existence of two universal forces--centrifugal and centripetal,
or attraction and repulsion, and we will construct a theory which shall explain
all the leading phenomena and mysteries of nature.’ An apple falling from a
tree, or a stone rolling downwards, and a pail of water tied to a string and
set in motion were assumed to be types of the relations existing among all the
bodies in the universe. The moon was assumed to have a tendency to fall towards
the earth, and the earth and moon together towards the sun. The same relation
was assumed to exist between all the smaller and larger luminaries in the
firmament; and it soon became necessary to extend these assumptions to
infinity. The universe was parcelled out into systems--co-existent and
illimitable. Suns, planets, satellites, and comets, were assumed to exist
infinite in number and boundless in extent; and to enable the theorists to
explain alternating and constantly recurring phenomena, which were everywhere
observable, these numberless and for-ever-extending objects were assumed to be
spheres. The earth we inhabit was called a planet, and because it was thought
to be reasonable that the luminous objects in the firmament, which were called
planets, were spherical and had motion, so it was only reasonable to suppose
that, as the earth was a planet, it must also be spherical and have
motion--ergo, the earth is a globe and moves upon axes, and in an orbit round
the sun! And as the earth is a globe and is inhabited, so again it is only
reasonable to conclude that the planets are worlds like the earth, and are
inhabited by sentient beings. What reasoning! What shameful perversion of
intellectual gifts!”-Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a
Globe!” (348)
“Copernicus put forward the hypothesis of the revolution
of the earth round the sun in order to explain the cycle of the seasons. His
theory is not very satisfactory seeing that the earth is supposed to be at its
greatest distance from the sun in the summer during the hot weather, and at its
shortest distance in the winter when the temperature is at its lowest. These
unusual conditions which clearly contradict the laws of nature as regards the
effects of heat, are, it is said, due to the angle formed by the rays of the
sun as they fall on the earth’s surface. It is also stated that the opposition
of the seasons north and south of the equator is due to a tilt of the earth,
first on one side, and then on the other, which conveniently occurs at the
right moment.Nothing is said, however,
of the shifting of the waters of the sea and rivers which this change in the
centre of gravity and in the position of the earth would inevitably bring twice
a year. It might also be assumed that under those conditions, very high
constructions would swerve from the vertical. The American sky-scrapers and the
Eiffel Tower, for instance, cannot be seen to lean right or left according to
the seasons, although this should be a logical and natural consequence of the
alternate inclination attributed to the earth.” -Gabrielle Henriet, “Heaven and Earth” (1-2)
If the Earth were a sphere that rotated daily on its
vertical axis at a uniform velocity, revolving annually around the Sun, it
would follow that half the “globe” would always be sunlit while the other half
dark, every place on the globe receiving an equal amount of day and night.In actuality, however, the drastically
varying lengths of day/night over the Earth are consistent with the Geocentric
Flat-Earth model.If the Earth were a
sphere it would follow that seasons the world over would be simultaneous due to
distance from the Sun.When the Earth is
farthest away from the Sun, the entire globe should be ensconced in winter and
recording the coldest temperatures for the year.When the Earth is closest to the Sun, the
entire globe should be summery and recording the warmest temperatures for the
year.In actuality, however, this is not
the case.The frozen depths of
Antarctica remain forever frigidly foreboding while just a few thousand miles
away it is tropical summer.How is it
that the heat from the Sun could supposedly come from an eyebrow-raising 93
million miles away to simultaneously burn the skin of beach bums in Hawaii
while leaving Antarctic explorers frozen in their boots just a few thousand
miles away?
“It is geometrically demonstrable that all the visible
luminaries in the firmament are within a distance of a few thousand miles from
the earth, not more than the space which stretches between the North Pole and
the Cape of Good Hope; and the principle of measurement - that of plane
triangulation with, invariably, an accurately measured base line - which
demonstrates this important fact is one which no mathematician claiming to be a
master in the science will for a moment deny. All these luminaries, then, and
the sun itself, being so near to us, cannot be other than very small as
compared with the earth we inhabit. They are all in motion over the earth,
which is alone immovable; and, therefore, they cannot be anything more than
secondary and subservient structures continually ministering to this fixed
world and its inhabitants. This is a plain, simple, and in every respect
demonstrable philosophy, agreeing with the evidence of our senses, borne out by
every fairly instituted experiment, and never requiring a violation of those
principles of investigation which the human mind has ever recognized and
depended upon in its every-day life. The modern or Newtonian astronomy has none
of these characteristics. The whole system taken together constitutes a most
monstrous absurdity. It is false in its foundation; irregular, unfair, and
illogical, in its details; and, in its conclusions, inconsistent and
contradictory. Worse than all, it is a prolific source of irreligion and of
atheism, of which its advocates are practically supporters. By defending a
system which is directly opposed to that which is taught in connection with the
Jewish and Christian religion they lead the more critical and daring intellects
to question and deride the cosmogony and general philosophy contained in the
sacred books. Because the Newtonian theory is held to be true they are led
to reject the Scriptures altogether, to ignore the worship, and doubt and deny
the existence of a Creator and Supreme Ruler of the world.” -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy,
Earth Not a Globe!” (354)
“The facts and experiments already advanced render it
undeniable, that the surface of all the waters of the earth is horizontal; and
that however irregular the upper outline of the land itself may be, the whole
mass, land and water together, constitutes an IMMENSE NON-MOVING CIRCULAR
PLANE.If we travel by land or sea, from
any part of the earth in the direction of any meridian line, and towards the
northern central star called ‘Polaris,’ we come to one and the same place, a
region of ice, where the star which has been our guide is directly above us, or
vertical to our position. This region is really THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH; and
recent observations seem to prove that it is a vast central tidal sea, nearly a
thousand miles in diameter, and surrounded by a great wall or barrier of ice,
eighty to a hundred miles in breadth. If from this central region we trace the
outline of the lands which project or radiate from it, and the surface of which
is above the water, we find that the present form of the earth or ‘dry land,’
as distinguished from the waters of the ‘great deep,’ is an irregular
mass of capes, bays, and islands, terminating in great bluffs or headlands,
projecting principally towards the south, or, at least, in a direction away
from the great northern centre. If now we sail with our backs continually to
this central star, ‘Polaris,’ or the centre of the earth's surface, we shall
arrive at another region of ice. Upon whatever meridian we sail, keeping the
northern centre behind us, we are checked in our progress by vast and lofty
cliffs of ice. If we turn to the right or to the left of our meridian, these
icy barriers beset us during the whole of our passage. Hence, we have found
that there is a great ebbing and flowing sea at the earth's centre; with a boundary
wall of ice, nearly a hundred miles in thickness, and three thousand miles in
circumference; that springing or projecting from this icy wall, irregular
masses of land stretch out towards the south, where a desolate waste of
turbulent waters surrounds the continents, and is itself engirdled by vast
belts and packs of ice, bounded by immense frozen barriers, the lateral depth
and extent of which are utterly unknown.How far the ice extends; how it terminates; and what exists beyond it,
are questions to which no present human experience can reply. All we at present
know is, that snow and hail, howling winds, and indescribable storms and
hurricanes prevail; and that in every direction human ingress is barred by
unsealed escarpments of perpetual ice, extending farther than eye or telescope
can penetrate, and becoming lost in gloom and darkness.” -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy,
Earth Not a Globe!” (91)
What remains unknown at this time are 1) the extent of the Antarctic
ice-wall, how far can one travel Southwards atop the ice?Is it just water, snow, ice, and darkness
forever, or is there some limit, like the glass wall in The Truman Show?2) Is there a limit to space?Is the universe infinite, or as the Bible
claims, contained within a physical “firmament,” the “vault of heaven?”3) What exists beneath the “mighty
deep?”Is it just deeper and darker
water going downward forever, or is there some limit?
“If the earth is a distinct structure standing in and
upon the waters of the ‘great deep,’ it follows that, unless it can be shown
that something else sustains the waters, that the depth is fathomless.As there is no evidence whatever of anything
existing underneath the ‘great deep,’ and as in many parts of the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans no bottom has been found by the most scientific and efficient
means which human ingenuity could invent, we are forced to the conclusion that
the depth is boundless.”-Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Earth Not a Globe, 2nd Edition” (201)
“From the earliest times it has been believed and said that the
heavens were not an empty space, but a solid surface. The Chaldeans and
Egyptians regarded the sky as the massive cover of the world; and in India and
Persia it was thought to be a metallic lid, flat or convex, or even pyramidal.
Up to the 17th century the earth was always regarded as the centre of an empty
sphere with solid walls; and on this account, it was always represented with a
cover. This indispensable complement, however, was eliminated upon the advent
of the theory of gravitation, for convenience sake, as a solid dome limiting
the space round the earth would have rendered impossible the extravagant
motions of the planets which were sent revolving in the air at phenomenal
distances. Thus from this time, the fact universally accepted for thousands of
years that the sky is a firm surface, completely disappeared.Nevertheless, the possible existence of a
solid vault over the earth is a question of great importance in view of the
tremendous consequences which would result from this fact, if it happened to be
true. There is no doubt that the general reaction is one of incredulity; but,
on the other hand, it can be considered that it is not without reason that the
ancients believed in the existence of the material vault of heaven; nor without
reason, either, that this notion should have been consistently handed down
through the ages since the earliest times up to the 17th century, in all parts
of the world … The planets are not solid, opaque masses of matter, as is believed.
They are simply immaterial, luminous and transparent discs; and in view of
these circumstances, it is plain that the craters, asperities, mountains and
valleys which were thought to exist on the surface of these imaginary masses,
are the topographic features of the solid vault of the sky which are
illuminated and thrown into relief by the luminous and transparent discs which
we call planets. It is also to be realized that the lens of the telescope
creates an appearance of convexity which, standing out in relief, conveys the
impression of a spherical mass, but this convexity effect is merely an optical
illusion.”-Gabrielle Henriet,
“Heaven and Earth” (22-23)
Flat-Earthers historically have been subject to not only
intense ridicule and ostracism, but many have even been threatened and assaulted
for espousing their beliefs.I have
personally been threatened by Freemasons on multiple occasions for my work
exposing their conspiracies, hoaxes and manipulations.Flat-Earth Society president Charles K. Johnson
claimed a man from NASA attempted to murder him, and later had a massive
suspicious fire that burned his house down, likely the result of arson, which
destroyed his entire Flat-Earth library, all records and contacts of Flat-Earth
Society members. The most renowned
Flat-Earther in modern times, Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, also had his fair share of
violent opposition.He stated that, “For
the long period of thirty-one years I have labored singlehandedly to bring this
important subject before the world: both on the lecture platform and in local
journals, and travelling from place to place - never resting longer than a few
months in one locality, but like a scientific philosophic gypsy breaking up his
tent and pitching it ‘here there and everywhere’ in order to draw this great
question to the attention of all classes and degrees of intelligence.And as matter of course I have had to bear
every possible form of opposition, the bitterest denunciations - often
amounting to threats of violence and personal danger, the foulest
misrepresentations, the most reckless calumny, and the wildest and most
desperate efforts to stay my career and counteract my teachings.It has become a duty, paramount and
imperative, to meet them in open, avowed, and unyielding rebellion; to declare
that their unopposed reign of error and confusion is over; and that henceforth,
like a falling dynasty, they must shrink and disappear, leaving the throne and
the kingdom to those awakening intellects whose numbers are constantly
increasing, and whose march is rapid and irresistible.The soldiers of truth and reason have drawn
the sword, and ere another generation has been educated, will have forced the
usurper to abdicate!”
“It may be boldly asked where can the man be found,
possessing the extraordinary gifts of Newton, who could suffer himself to be
deluded by such a hocus-pocus, if he had not in the first instance willfully
deceived himself? Only those who know the strength of self-deception, and the
extent to which it sometimes trenches on dishonesty, are in a condition to
explain the conduct of Newton and of Newton's school. To support his unnatural
theory Newton heaps fiction upon fiction, seeking to dazzle where he cannot
convince.In whatever way or manner may
have occurred this business, I must still say that I curse this modern theory
of Cosmogony, and hope that perchance there may appear, in due time, some young
scientist of genius, who will pick up courage enough to upset this universally
disseminated delirium of lunatics.”-Goethe
“I could easily cite other good authorities to similar effect, but
I think enough have been already given, to show that the absurdities of Modem
Astronomy have not been palmed upon the world without a strong protest from
thoughtful minds, and I sincerely trust that the following pages may prove
useful to some honest thinkers, not only in exposing the fallacies of this
chimerical science, but in showing the true position of the world, as proved by
facts in nature … I sincerely trust that, after considering the evidence which
has been brought before him, the thoughtful Reader will clearly see that this
world of ours is not a Planet, as supposed by our Modem Astronomers, but a real
Terra Firma, founded upon the waters of the Great Deep, from which come and to
which return, with unceasing flow, the rivers of the Earth, in accordance with
the wise and beneficent purpose of our Divine Creator.” -David Wardlaw Scott, “Terra Firma” (20-271)
“Thus we see that this Newtonian philosophy is devoid of
consistency; its details are the result of an entire violation of the laws of
legitimate reasoning, and all its premises are assumed. It is, in fact, nothing
more than assumption upon assumption, and the conclusions derived therefrom are
willfully considered as things proved, and to be employed as truths to
substantiate the first and fundamental assumptions. Such a ‘juggle and jumble’
of fancies and falsehoods extended and intensified as in theoretical astronomy
is calculated to make the unprejudiced inquirer revolt with horror from the
terrible conjuration which has been practised upon him; to sternly resolve to
resist its further progress; to endeavour to over-throw the entire edifice, and
to bury in its ruins the false honours which have been associated with its fabricators,
and which still attach to its devotees. For the learning, the patience, the
perseverance and devotion for which they have ever been examples, honour and
applause need not be withheld; but their false reasoning, the advantages they
have taken of the general ignorance of mankind in respect to astronomical
subjects, and the unfounded theories they have advanced and defended, cannot be
otherwise than regretted, and ought to be by every possible means uprooted.”

The Globe-Earth lie or what I have titled “The Flat-Earth
Conspiracy” is in my humble opinion, the greatest deception in human history
and most important taboo issue which desperately needs to be exposed.If people knew the extent to which they have
been lied to and brain-washed from birth, there would be a veritable revolution
in critical thinking, personal sovereignty, and belief in God by morning.The New World Order “globalists,” Satan’s prophesized
One World Government Masonic minions are everywhere spreading their
“scientific” disinformation, “deceiving the very elect,” and herding the sheeple
to their slaughter.Please help spread
the word to your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers, direct them to
AtlanteanConspiracy.com, Ifers.ace.st and send copies of this book to help awaken them and
support my life-long efforts to bring Truth, Freedom, Peace and Love to the
flat Earth!
In the Flat-Earth model of the cosmos, the North Pole is the immovable center of the world and the entire universe. Polaris, the North Star, sits straight over
the North Pole at the highest point in the heavens, and like a slowly rotating
planetarium dome all the celestial bodies revolve around Polaris and over the
Earth once per day.The Sun circles over
and around the circumference of Earth every 24 hours, steadily traveling each
day from the equator during the March vernal equinox, up to the Tropic of
Cancer at the June summer solstice, back down to the equator for the September
autumnal equinox, and all the way down to the Tropic of Capricorn on the
December winter solstice.
In the Flat-Earth model, the South Pole does not exist at
all and Antarctica is instead a gigantic ice-wall extending the circumference
of Earth holding in the oceans like a giant bowl, or a “world cup.”As strange as this concept may sound at
first, it is a fact that if you set a bearing due South from anywhere on Earth,
inevitably at or before 78 degrees Southern latitude, you will find yourself
face-to-face with an enormous ice-wall towering 100-200 feet in the air
extending to the East and West the entire circumference of the world!
“The ice-barrier, so frequently referred to in accounts of the
Antarctic regions, is the fore-front of the enormous glacier-covering, or
ice-cap, which, accumulating in vast, undulating fields from the heavy
snowfall, and ultimately attaining hundreds, if not thousands, of feet in
thickness, creeps from the continent of Antarctica into the polar sea. The
ice-barrier, yet a part of the parent ice-cap, presents itself to the navigator
who has boldness enough to approach its fearful front, as a solid, perpendicular
wall of marble-like ice, ranging from one thousand to two thousand feet in
thickness, of which from one hundred to two hundred feet rises above, and from
eight hundred to eighteen hundred feet sinks below, the level of the sea."-Greely, General A. W. "Antarctica, or
the Hypothetical Southern Continent." Cosmopolitan 17 (1894): p. 296
“It has been demonstrated that the earth is a plane, the
surface-centre of which is immediately underneath the star called ‘Polaris,’
and the extremities of which are bounded by a vast region of ice and water and
irregular masses of land.The whole
terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and
boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs
are almost constant.”-Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (117)
Antarctica is not the tiny “ice-continent” found confined to the underside
antipode of astronomer’s globes.Quite
the contrary, Antarctica literally surrounds us 360 degrees, encircles every
continent, and acts as a barrier holding in the oceans.The most commonly asked questions, and the
greatest mysteries yet to be solved are: how far does the Antarctic ice extend
outwards?Is there a limit?What lies beyond, or is it just snow and ice
forever?Thanks to U.N. treaties and
constant military surveillance, the North Pole and Antarctica remain cloaked in
government secrecy, both purported “no-fly/no-sail” zones, with several reports
of civilian pilots and captains being shooed away and escorted back under
threat of violence.
“How far the ice extends; how it terminates; and what exists
beyond it, are questions to which no present human experience can reply. All we
at present know is, that snow and hail, howling winds, and indescribable storms
and hurricanes prevail; and that in every direction ‘human ingress is barred by
unsealed escarpments of perpetual ice,’ extending farther than eye or telescope
can penetrate, and becoming lost in gloom and darkness.” -Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy,
Earth Not a Globe!” (91)
Before reaching the Antarctic ice-wall, navigating the
increasingly tumultuous Southern oceans, explorers encounter the longest,
darkest, coldest nights and the most dangerous seas and storms anywhere on Earth.Vasco de Gama, an early 16th century
Portuguese explorer of the South Seas wrote how, “The waves rise like
mountains in height; ships are heaved up to the clouds, and apparently
precipitated by circling whirlpools to the bed of the ocean.The winds are piercing cold, and so
boisterous that the pilot’s voice can seldom be heard, whilst a dismal and
almost continual darkness adds greatly to the danger.”
In 1773 Captain Cook became the first modern explorer known
to have breached the Antarctic Circle and reached the ice barrier.During three voyages, lasting three years and
eight days, Captain Cook and crew sailed a total of 60,000 miles along the
Antarctic coastline never once finding an inlet or path through or beyond the
massive glacial wall!Captain Cook
wrote: “The ice extended east and west far beyond the reach of our sight,
while the southern half of the horizon was illuminated by rays of light which
were reflected from the ice to a considerable height.It was indeed my opinion that this ice
extends quite to the pole, or perhaps joins some land to which it has been
fixed since creation.”
On October 5th, 1839 another explorer, James Clark Ross began a
series of Antarctic voyages lasting a total of 4 years and 5 months.Ross and his crew sailed two heavily armored
warships thousands of miles, losing many men from hurricanes and icebergs, looking
for an entry point beyond the southern glacial wall.Upon first confronting the massive barrier
Captain Ross wrote of the wall, “extending from its eastern extreme point as
far as the eye could discern to the eastward.It presented an extraordinary appearance, gradually increasing in
height, as we got nearer to it, and proving at length to be a perpendicular
cliff of ice, between one hundred and fifty feet and two hundred feet above the
level of the sea, perfectly flat and level at the top, and without any fissures
or promontories on its even seaward face.We might with equal chance of success try to sail through the cliffs of
Dover, as to penetrate such a mass.”
“Yes, but we can circumnavigate the South easily enough,’
is often said by those who don't know, The British Ship Challenger recently
completed the circuit of the Southern region - indirectly, to be sure - but she
was three years about it, and traversed nearly 69,000 miles - a stretch long
enough to have taken her six times round on the globular hypothesis.”-William Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is
Not a Globe” (78)
“If we now consider the fact that when we travel by land or sea,
and from any part of the known world, in a direction towards the North polar
star, we shall arrive at one and the same point, we are forced to the
conclusion that what has hitherto been called the North Polar region, is really
the center of the Earth.That from this
northern center the land diverges and stretches out, of necessity, towards a
circumference, which must now be called the Southern region: which is a vast
circle, and not a pole or center … In this and other ways all the great
navigators have been frustrated in their efforts, and have been more or less
confounded in their attempts to sail round the Earth upon or beyond the
Antarctic circle.But if the southern
region is a pole or center, like the north, there would be little difficulty in
circumnavigating it, for the distance round would be comparatively small.When it is seen that the Earth is not a
sphere, but a plane, having only one center, the north; and that the south is
the vast icy boundary of the world, the difficulties experienced by
circumnavigators can be easily understood.”-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Earth Not a Globe, 2nd Edition” (21-23)
If the Earth were truly a globe, then every line of latitude
South of the equator would have to measure a gradually smaller and smaller
circumference the farther South traveled.In other words, the circumference at 10 degrees South latitude would
comprise a smaller circle than at the equator, 20 degrees South latitude would
comprise a circle smaller than 10, and so on.If, however, the Earth is an extended plane, then every line of latitude
South of the equator should measure a gradually larger and larger circumference
the farther South traveled.10 degrees
South latitude will comprise a larger circle than the equator, 20 degrees South
latitude will comprise a circle larger than 10, and so on.Likewise, if the Earth were a globe, lines of
longitude would bubble out at the equator while converging at both poles.Whereas if the Earth is an extended plane,
lines of longitude should simply expand straight outwards from the North Pole.So
which is actually the case?
“Upon the principle, as taught by Scripture and common
observation, that the world is not a Planet, but consists of vast masses of
land stretched out upon level seas, the North being the centre of the system,
it is evident that the degrees of longitude will gradually increase in width
the whole way from the North centre to the icy boundary of the great Southern
Circumference. In consequence of the difference between the actual extent of
longitudes and that allowed for them by the Nautical Authorities, which
difference, at the latitude of the Cape of Good Hope, has been estimated to
amount to a great number of miles, many Ship-masters have lost their reckoning,
and many vessels have been wrecked. Ship-captains, who have been educated in the
globular theory, know not how to account for their getting so much out of their
course in Southern latitudes, and generally put it down to currents; but this
reason is futile, for although currents may exist, they do not usually run in
opposite directions, and vessels are frequently wrecked, whether sailing East
or West.”-David Wardlaw Scott,
“Terra Firma” (102)
During Captain James Clark Ross’s voyages around the Antarctic
circumference, he often wrote in his journal perplexed at how they routinely
found themselves out of accordance with their charts, stating that they found
themselves an average of 12-16 miles outside their reckoning every day, some
days as much as 29 miles.Lieutenant
Charles Wilkes commanded a United States Navy exploration expedition to the
Antarctic from August 18th, 1838 to June 10th, 1842, almost four years spent
“exploring and surveying the Southern ocean.”In his journals Lieutenant Wilkes also mentioned being consistently east
of his reckoning, sometimes over 20 miles in less than 18 hours.
“The commanders of these various expeditions were, of course, with
their education and belief in the earth's rotundity, unable to conceive of any
other cause for the differences between log and chronometer results than the
existence of currents. But one simple fact is entirely fatal to such an
explanation, viz., that when the route taken is east or west the same results
are experienced.The water of the
southern region cannot be running in two opposite directions at the same time;
and hence, although various local and variable currents have been noticed, they
cannot be shown to be the cause of the discrepancies so generally observed in
high southern latitudes between time and log results.The conclusion is one of necessity, forced
upon us by the sum of the evidence collected that the degrees of longitude in
any given southern latitude are larger than the degrees in any latitude nearer
to the northern center; thus proving the already more than sufficiently
demonstrated fact that the earth is a plane, having a northern center, in
relation to which degrees of latitude are concentric, and from which degrees of
longitude are diverging lines, continually increasing in their distance from
each other as they are prolonged towards the great glacial southern
circumference.”-Dr. Samuel
Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe!”(261)
“February 11th, 1822, at noon, in latitude 65.53. S. our
chronometers gave 44 miles more westing than the log in three days. On 22nd of
April (1822), in latitude 54.16. S. our longitude by chronometers was 46.49,
and by D.R. (dead reckoning) 47° 11´: On 2nd May (1822), at noon, in latitude
53.46. S., our longitude by chronometers was 59° 27´, and by D.R. 61° 6´.
October 14th, in latitude 58.6, longitude by chronometers 62° 46´, by account
65° 24´. In latitude 59.7. S., longitude by chronometers was 63° 28´, by
account 66° 42´. In latitude 61.49. S., longitude by chronometers was 61° 53´,
by account 66° 38´.”-Captain James
Weddell, “Voyages Towards the South Pole”
“In the southern hemisphere, navigators to India have
often fancied themselves east of the Cape when still west, and have been driven
ashore on the African coast, which, according to their reckoning, lay behind
them.This misfortune happened to a fine
frigate, the Challenger, in 1845.How
came Her Majesty’s Ship ‘Conqueror,’ to be lost?How have so many other noble vessels,
perfectly sound, perfectly manned, perfectly navigated, been wrecked in calm
weather, not only in dark night, or in a fog, but in broad daylight and
sunshine - in the former case upon the coasts, in the latter, upon sunken rocks
- from being ‘out of reckoning,’ under circumstances which until now, have
baffled every satisfactory explanation.”-Rev. Thomas Milner, “Tour Through Creation”
The equatorial circumference of the supposed ball-Earth is said to be
24,900 statute or 21,600 nautical miles.A nautical mile is the distance, following the supposed curvature of the
Earth, from one minute of latitude to the next.A statue mile is the straight line distance between the two, not taking
into account Earth’s alleged curvature.
The “Australian Handbook, Almanack, Shippers’ and Importers’
Directory” states that the distance between Sydney and Nelson is 1400 nautical
or 1633 statute miles.Allowing a more
than sufficient 83 miles as the distance for rounding Cape Farewell and sailing
up Tasman Bay to Nelson leaves 1550 statute miles as the straight-line distance
from the meridian of Sydney to the meridian of Nelson.Their given difference in longitude is 22
degrees 2’14”.Therefore if 22 degrees
2’14” out of 360 is 1550 miles, the entirety measures 25,182 miles.This is larger than the Earth is said to be
at the equator, and 4262 miles greater than it would be at Sydney’s southern
latitude on a globe of said proportions!One 360th part of 25,182 gives 70 miles as the distance between each
degree of longitude at Sydney’s 34 degree Southern latitude.On a globe 25,000 miles in equatorial
circumference, however, degrees of longitude at 34 degrees latitude would be
only 58 miles, a full 12 miles per degree less than reality.This perfectly explains why Ross and other
navigators in the deep South experienced 12+ mile daily discrepancies between
their reckoning and reality, the farther South traveled the farther the
divide.
“From near Cape Horn, Chile to Port Philip in Melbourne,
Australia the distance is 9,000 miles.These two places are 143 degrees of longitude from each other.Therefore the whole extent of the Earth’s
circumference is a mere arithmetical question.If 143 degrees make 9,000 miles, what will be the distance made by the
whole 360 degrees into which the surface is divided?The answer is, 22,657 miles; or, 8357 miles
more than the theory of rotundity would permit.It must be borne in mind, however, that the above distances are nautical
measure, which, reduced to statute miles, gives the actual distance round the
Southern region at a given latitude as 26,433 statute miles; or nearly 1,500
miles more than the largest circumference ever assigned to the Earth at the
equator.”-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham,
“Earth Not a Globe, 2nd Edition” (52)
Similar calculations made from the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa to
Melbourne, Australia at an average latitude of 35.5 degrees South, have given
an approximate figure of over 25,000 miles, which is again equal to or greater
than the Earth’s supposed greatest circumference at the equator.Calculations from Sydney, Australia to
Wellington, New Zealand at an average of 37.5 degrees South have given an
approximate circumference of 25,500 miles, greater still!According to the ball-Earth theory, the
circumference of the Earth at 37.5 degrees Southern latitude should be only
19,757 statute miles, almost six thousand miles less than such practical
measurements.
“The above calculations are, as already stated, only
proximate; but as liberal allowances have been made for irregularities of
route, etc., they are sufficiently accurate to prove that the degrees of
longitude, as we proceed south-wards, do not diminish, as they would upon a
globe, but expand or increase, as they must if the earth is a plane; or, in
other words, the farthest point, or greatest latitude south, must have the
greatest circumference and degrees of longitude.”-Dr. Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy:
Earth Not a Globe!” (258)
“Parallels of latitude only - of all imaginary lines on
the surface of the Earth - are circles, which increase, progressively, from the
northern centre to the southern circumference. The mariner's course in the
direction of any one of these concentric circles is his longitude, the degrees
of which INCREASE to such an extent beyond the equator (going southwards) that
hundreds of vessels have been wrecked because of the false idea created by the
untruthfulness of the charts and the globular theory together, causing the
sailor to be continually getting out of his reckoning. With a map of the Earth
in its true form all difficulty is done away with, and ships may be conducted
anywhere with perfect safety. This, then, is a very important practical proof
that the Earth is not a globe.”-William Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe” (14)
If the Earth were truly a globe, the Arctic and Antarctic
polar regions and areas of comparable latitude North and South of the equator
should share similar conditions and characteristics such as comparable
temperatures, seasonal changes, length of daylight, plant and animal life. In reality, however, the Arctic/Antarctic
regions and areas of comparable latitude North/South of the equator differ
greatly in many ways.
“If the earth be the globe of popular belief, the same
amount of heat and cold, summer and winter, should be experienced at the same
latitudes North and South of the Equator.
The same number of plants and animals would be found, and the same
general conditions exist. That the very
opposite is the case, disproves the globular assumption. The great contrasts between places at the
same latitudes North and South of the Equator, is a strong argument against the
received doctrine of the rotundity of the earth.” -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (8)
Antarctica is by far the coldest place on Earth with an average
annual temperature of approximately -57 degrees Farenheit, and a record low of
-135.8! The average annual temperature at
the North Pole, however, is a comparatively warm 4 degrees. Throughout the year, temperatures in the
Antarctic vary less than half the amount at comparable Arctic latitudes. The Northern Arctic region enjoys moderately
warm summers and manageable winters, whereas the Southern Antarctic region
never even warms enough to melt the perpetual snow and ice.
“This uniformity of temperature partly accounts for the
great accumulation of ice which is formed not on account of the great severity
of the winter, but because there is practically no summer to melt it. In the Antarctic there is eternal winter and
snow never melts. As far north as a man
has travelled he has found reindeer and hare basking in the sun, and country
brilliant with rich flora; within the Antarctic circle no plant is to be found.” -Thomas Winship, “Zetetic Cosmogeny” (9)
The island of Kerguelen at 49 degrees Southern latitude has
only 18 species of native plants that can survive its hostile climate. Compare this with the island of Iceland at 65
degrees Northern latitude, 16 degrees further North of the equator than
Kerguelen is South, yet Iceland is home to 870 species of native plants. On the Isle of Georgia, just 54 degrees
Southern latitude, the same latitude as Canada or England in the North, where
dense forests of various tall trees abound, the infamous Captain Cook wrote
that he was unable to find a single shrub large enough to make a toothpick! Cook wrote, “Not a tree was to be
seen. The lands which lie to the south
are doomed by nature to perpetual frigidness - never to feel the warmth of the
sun’s rays; whose horrible and savage aspect I have not words to describe. Even marine life is sparse in certain tracts
of vast extent, and the sea-bird is seldom observed flying over such lonely
wastes. The contrasts between the limits
of organic life in Arctic and Antarctic zones is very remarkable and
significant. Vegetables and land animals
are found at nearly 80 degrees in the north; while from the parallel of 58
degrees in the south, the lichen, and such-like plants only, clothe the rocks,
and seabirds and the cetaceous tribes alone are seen upon the desolate beaches.”
In the Arctic there are 4 clearly distinguished seasons,
warm summers, and an abundance of plant and animal life, none of which can be
said of the Antarctic. The Eskimo live
as far North as the 79th parallel, whereas in the South no native man is found
higher than the 56th. Admiral Ferdinand
von Wrangel, the 19th century Russian Arctic explorer, wrote how in the North,
“Countless herds of reindeer, elks, black bears, foxes, sable and grey
squirrels fill the upland forests; stone foxes and wolves roam over the low ground;
enormous flights of swans, geese, and ducks arrive in spring, and seek deserts
where they may moult, and build their nests in safety. Eagles, gulls, and owls
pursue their prey along the sea-coast; ptarmigan run in troops among the
bushes; little snipes are busy among the brooks and in the morasses; the social
crows seek the neighbourhood of man's habitations; and when the sun shines in
spring, one may sometimes even hear the cheerful note of the finch, and in
autumn that of the thrush.”
"Beyond the 70th degree of Southern latitude not a
tree meets the eye, wearied with the white waste of snow; forests, woods, even
shrubs have disappeared, and given place to a few lichens and creeping woody
plants, which scantily clothe the indurated soil. Still, in the farthest north,
Nature claims her birthright of beauty; and in the brief and rapid summer she
brings forth numerous flowers and grasses, to bloom for a few days, to be again
blasted by the swiftly-recurring winter. The rapid fervour of an arctic summer
had already (June 1st) converted the snowy waste into luxuriant pasture-ground,
rich in flowers and grass, with almost the same lively appearance as that of an
English meadow." -W. & R.
Chambers, “Arctic Explorations”
In New Zealand situated at 42 degrees Southern latitude, on
the Winter Solstice the Sun rises at 4:31am and sets at 7:29pm, making the
longest day of the year 14 hours and 58 minutes. On the Summer Solstice, the New Zealand Sun
rises at 7:29am and sets at 4:31pm, making the shortest day 9 hours and 2
minutes long. Meanwhile, in England, a
full 10 degrees farther North of the equator than New Zealand lies South, the
longest day is 16 hours and 34 minutes, the shortest day 7 hours and 45 minutes. Therefore the longest day in New Zealand is 1
hour and 36 minutes shorter than the longest day in England, and the shortest
day in New Zealand is 1 hour and 17 minutes longer than the shortest day in
England.
William Swainson, an Englishman who emigrated and became Attorney
General of New Zealand in the mid-19th century lived in both countries for
decades and wrote of their differences, stating, “The range of temperature
is limited, there being no excess of either heat or cold; compared with the
climate of England, the summer of New Zealand is but very little warmer though
considerably longer. Even in summer,
people here have no notion of going without fires in the evening; but then,
though the days are very warm and sunny, the nights are always cold. For seven
months last summer, we had not one day that the sun did not shine as
brilliantly as it does in England in the finest day in June; and though it has
more power here, the heat is not nearly so oppressive. But then there is not the twilight which you
get in England. Here it is light till about eight o'clock, then, in a few
minutes, it becomes too dark to see anything, and the change comes over in
almost no time. The seasons are the
reverse of those in England. Spring commences in September, summer in December,
autumn in April, and winter in June. The days are an hour shorter at each end
of the day in summer, and an hour longer in the winter than in England."
In the Flat-Earth model of the cosmos, these
Arctic/Antarctic phenomena are easily accounted for and exactly what would be
expected. If the Sun circles over and
around the Earth every 24 hours, steadily travelling from Tropic to Tropic
every 6 months, it follows that the Northern, central region would annually receive
far more heat and sunlight than the Southern circumferential region. Since the Sun must sweep over the larger
Southern region in the same 24 hours it has to pass over the smaller Northern
region, its passage must necessarily be proportionally faster as well. This is why the Antarctic morning dawn and
evening twilight are very abrupt, whereas in the extreme North twilight
continues for hours after sunset and many midsummer nights the Sun does not set
at all!
“If the sun is fixed, and the earth revolves underneath
it, the same phenomena would exist at the same distance on each side of the
equator; but such is not the case! What can operate to cause the twilight in
New Zealand to be so much more sudden, or the nights so much colder than in
England? The southern ‘hemisphere’ cannot revolve more rapidly than the northern!
The latitudes are about the same, and the distance round a globe would be the
same at 50° south as at 50° north, and as the whole would revolve once in
twenty-four hours, the surface at the two places would pass underneath the sun
with the same velocity, and the light would approach in the morning, and recede
in the evening in exactly the same manner, yet the very contrary is the fact!… The constant sunlight of the north
develops, with the utmost rapidity, numerous forms of vegetable life, and
furnishes subsistence for millions of living creatures. But in the south, where
the sunlight never dwells, or lingers about a central region, but rapidly
sweeps over sea and land, to complete in twenty-four hours the great circle of
the southern circumference, it has not time to excite and stimulate the
surface; and, therefore, even in comparatively low southern latitudes,
everything wears an aspect of desolation.
These differences in the north and south could not exist if the earth
were a globe, turning upon axes underneath a non-moving sun. The two
hemispheres would at the same latitudes have the same degree of light and heat,
and the same general phenomena, both in kind and degree. The peculiarities
which are found in the south as compared with the north, are only such as could
exist upon a stationary plane, having a northern centre, concentric with which
is the path of the moving sun.” -Dr.
Samuel Rowbotham, “Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not a Globe!” (116-121)
“Every year the Sun is as long south of the equator as he is north; and if the
Earth were not ‘stretched out’ as it is, in fact, but turned under, as the
Newtonian theory suggests it would certainly get as intensive a share of the
Sun's rays south as north; but the Southern region being, in consequence of the
fact stated, - far more extensive than the region North, the Sun, having to
complete his journey round every twenty-four hours, travels quicker as he goes
further south, from September to December, and his influence has less time in
which to accumulate at any given point. Since, then the facts could not be as
they are if the Earth were a globe, it is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.” -William Carpenter, “100 Proofs the Earth is
Not a Globe” (53)
