Airy's Failure -- from a Professional Astronomer
« on: November 30, 2021, 07:14:05 AM »
So one of the biggest attacks from the likes of Stanley and Marion against my advocation of flat earth (and geocentrism) is my lack of scientific education.  Let's take one topic at a time.  On this thread, we can discuss Airy's Failure.  Otherwise, the threads could go all over the map.

Now, Airy's Failure per se does not speak to Flat Earth, just to Geocentrism.  But here's a professional Astronomer who was a Geocentrist, and here's his take on the famous Airy's Failure experiment, which basically proved that the earth is stationary and that the stars move around it.

:facepalm:

Why mix all topics up? To keep avoiding being debunked!
What does Airy have to do with flath-earth?
Walter van der Kamp is a globe earther.

You have said that you postulate dark bodies in the sky, which cause the moon phases and the shades of eclipses. Postulating dark bodies is obscurantism! And you didn't even present a model with earth, sun, moon, and your postulated dark bodies, a model which predicts all these phenomena. Giving shapes, sizes, and trajectories of all your bodies.


And why don't you do that? Because you want to avoid being debunked!


And now you want to embellish your damaged reputation by sidetracking and misusing globe earther Walter van der Kamp.  :fryingpan:

Because ... geocentrism also belongs in this forum and it came up in the other thread.  It's all realted in terms of how modern science views the world and the universe.

Since you have nothing to contribute beside inane facepalms and insults, please stay off this thread.

Marion and Stanley literally act like every single other person hostile to FE theory. With mockery and straw men.

Here's the central strawman. It's of Ladislaus: "Now, Airy's Failure per se does not speak to Flat Earth, just to Geocentrism."

Ladislaus undertakes to defend flat-earthism by using globe-geocentrism (Walter von der Kamp). That's one more dishonesty of Ladislaus and a lame try to escape from having been debunked.

Ladislaus, in his general ignorance about geometry, suggest that geocentrism is half-way to flat earth.
