Wait what?People still thought that the world was round in the 90s?That was a thing?I thought this thought ended in the middle ages.Quote from: HOMER-16 on February 11, 2013, 08:29:53 pmQuote from: Sorunome on February 11, 2013, 07:00:47 pmErm...how do they explain flying around earth then?Supposedly, you'd be flying in a large circle Regardless of the fact that the measured distance in spent fuel would increase the further south you go under one map they provide. Also for us to stay on the ground it would have to be going faster and fasterCentrifugal force would make us go to the side.

....The issue is that back in the 1930-40's, education was terrible and most people didn't have to take science or stopped school early to start working due to terrible school conditions (teachers hitting students with rules, for example). There are also probably people who forgot that stuff over the time.
Quote from: epic7 on February 11, 2013, 05:00:45 pmSo according to them, gravity is nonexistent and objects fall to the earth because the earth is perpetually accelerating upward. Hmm, disproof:1] Assume gravity does not exist and that in fact, the earth is perpetually accelerating upward.2] Ignore the fact that 'up' is defined in relation to the direction of gravity. Assume that 'up' simply means that the earth is accelerating in one direction.3] Select two objects.4] Drop object one from a reasonable height, followed by object two.5] Record the velocity of both objects at any given moment.6] Note that the velocities are different.If the Earth was in fact accelerating toward the objects and the objects were in fact not moving relative to the universe, there velocity relative to the Earth would be identical.
So according to them, gravity is nonexistent and objects fall to the earth because the earth is perpetually accelerating upward.
The funny thing: they Can't explain crossing the south pole to get from point a to point b (on the other side of their map) with their logic

Also, in some countries that has lasted until the late sixties maybe early seventies.
