The Question No Flat Earther Can Answer!

Put Flat Earth to Bed with One Simple, Non-Scientific Question that Any Layman can Understand.

I was speaking to my brother-in-law last week. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Do you know that some people believe the earth is flat?
Him: Like a pancake?
Me: Yes.
Him: You’ve just got to look at ships sailing over the horizon.
Me: I know.
Him: Are you serious?
Me: Yes.
Him: They are stupid.
Me: I thought lots of people had heard about it.
Him: I haven’t.

If you’re like my brother-in-law and haven’t heard about flat earth (FE) before don’t worry. You have not entered into the twilight zone of Steemit and reading this article will not kill brain cells.

My brother-in-law said that flat earthers are stupid. This is a common response but not one that I would use. But, flat earthers should know that they are making fools of themselves (most inadvertently so). They are chasing a red herring. The phrase ‘red herring means’ ‘to divert’ or ‘distract’. Circa 1680’s fugitives on the run would smear the trail with a red herring hoping to put bloodhounds off the scent.

I don’t like to see people making fools of themselves and I apologize if using the term ‘stupid; or ‘fool’ offends you - that is not my intention. I just want to be honest with you and tell you know what most people think when you tell them that the earth is flat.

You probably already know that this. You’ve probably been called much worse. You probably don’t care because you believe that you are right. I’m hoping to clear some things up for you today. Unfortunately you are not alone.

Scientists and people from all walks of life are wasting time by researching, discussing and proving a spherical earth to you. Hopefully we can put an end to this once and for all.

A Flat Earth Map

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmeRkaM2jUdvFefA4RWqJS7WKUMQN39SFMsuy7nXWJgjAZ/flat%20earth%20map%20SteemTruth.jpg]

This is one of many flat earth maps and it seems to be the most popular.

I have made the map large so that it is easy for you to see. Now, pretend that you are looking at a clock. Start at the center and draw an imaginary line towards the perimeter. The imaginary line will dissect these countries.

* 2 o’clock - Australia

* 3 o’clock - Russia (green), China yellow green), India (orange)

* 4 o’clock - Ukraine, Turkey, Saudi Arabia (all yellow green)

* 5 o’clock - Europe, Libya (orange), South Africa (yellow green)

* 6 o’clock - UK (green), France (pink) Mauritania (pink)

* 8 o’clock - Brazil (yellow green), Argentina (green), Chile (yellow green)

* 9 o’clock - Canada (orange), USA (green), Caribbean

* 11 o’clock - Alaska (green)

The white area surrounding the map is Antartica. It is an impenetrable ice-wall, apparently.

This is how most flat earthers view the world. Now that we’ve got that out of the way lets move on to the question.

The Question

Q: How are commercial airplanes able to fly Non-Stop between Sydney to Santiago in 14 hours on a flat earth?

A: They can’t. It’s impossible on ALL flat earth maps.

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmSs44xE6McRAG4n8dehubKWLDJG81rukSjczXhjUsL8Zp/santigo%20sydney%20fligth%20path%20on%20flat%20earth%20SteemTruth.jpg]

Southern Hemisphere Flights

Ask a flat earther to explain non-stop flights between Southern Hemisphere continents i.e. non-stop flights between Australia, Africa and South America.

These non-stop flights are impossible on every flat earth map that I’ve seen.

Let’s take a quick look at some of these flight paths on a spherical earth. Pay attention to the flight path, distance and flight times.

All flights have been calculated at speeds of 500 mph (804 kmh). 30 minutes has been added for take-off and landing.

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmYn3jTunxLQVAGzFDJ9tk1Gnzj1croiB7eBbeveHMTa84/Flight%20Speed%20Flat%20Earth%20Calculator%20SteemTruth.jpg]

Sydney > Santiago

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmeA2GkhfT5VKz2sz7btZvAYE26cKSqZgsewa6G7ayTYjc/Flight%20Path%20Time%20Distance%20Speed%20Sydney%20Santiago%20Flat%20Earth%20SteemTruth.jpg]

I have a friend that flies Sydney to Santiago every few years. He spent 3 months there last year. I messaged him while he was away and casually asked about his flight.

I have another friend that has taken the same non-stop flight.

Perth > Johannesburg

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmedPkL1dHXM2hUh1WgfCVVcEqLabwPikUr1F18ZwKDvvy/Flight%20Path%20Time%20Distance%20Speed%20Perth%20Johannesburg%20Flat%20Earth%20SteemTruth.jpg]

Santiago > Johannesburg

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmYARAYrRafBaQS9zoKzxdSxuvJXrpzrm4LnGdTuamkHCn/Flight%20Path%20Time%20Distance%20Speed%20Santiago%20Johannesburg%20Flat%20Earth%20SteemTruth.jpg]

### Los Angeles > Hong Kong

The map below shows the flight path, distance and time from Los Angeles to Hong Kong on a spherical earth. The distance and time is almost exactly the same as Sydney to Santiago, as you would expect.

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmcZNc6LXm6asjVQ6VtJ7SBU7Q2nJHgnZpN6fax8m8vS5D/Flight%20Path%20Time%20Distance%20Speed%20Los%20Angeles%20Hong%20Kong%20Flat%20Earth%20SteemTruth.jpg]

This Flat Earth map below shows the flight path for Sydney to Santiago (the long line), and Los Angeles to Hong Kong (the short line). The Sydney flight is more than the double the distance.

If the earth was flat the flight times would be very different, but they aren’t - and the world is not flat.

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmaxjE6RMEtFZFpMjJRz72R7hhpcEUXn1Btjmz8zVojKFE/santigo%20sydney%20hong%20kong%20los%20angeles%20fligth%20path%20on%20flat%20earth%20SteemTruth.png]

Next time you encounter a flat earther I would encourage to ask them to explain Southern Hemisphere flights on their map. If they are rational they will say that these flights are not possible. If they are irrational they will attempt to divert you to another topic or say they are working on it. If they start saying that the planes don’t really fly, or talk of secret supersonic planes and jet streams, tell them they’re dreaming.

Don’t get sucked in and waste time on flat earth.

Flat earthers don’t trust NASA and either do I. In fact, I don’t expect any government agency to tell me the truth - but that does not mean that the earth is a pancake. I also know that it doesn’t feel like the earth is spinning and my hair isn’t blowing as I’d expect - but again, that does not mean that the earth is a pancake.

This is where I hope all flat-earthers are honest and admit that they can’t answer this very simple question. I’d like flat-earthers to acknowledge that this question blows the theory out of the water.

I hope that they, and all of us will start focusing on far more important issues than this. Like working together and removing ourselves from the paradigm that we currently find ourselves in!

Red herrings like flat earth cause division and diversion. We split into our respective camps and do our best to win, we are all guilty of it at times. Far too often the conversation turns vitriolic and damage is done. While we are busy pouring out our knowledge, anger and frustration on someone else or an issue, our focus and energy is diverted away from far important things. Like spending time with loved or helping people that need a hand.

Let’s create a better world, a decentralized world, free of tyranny, where we act voluntarily and live with joy and abundance. If you can help me do that I’d really appreciate it. And if you secretly want to keep believing that the earth is flat I’ll be fine with that to.

N.B: No research was required for this post. I’d looked into this years ago. I do not intend to spend more time on FE. I wanted to put this information on the blockchain. Hopefully it will clear up some confusion and give Steemians a simple method to follow when confronting a flat earther.

Thank you for reading.

Till next time!

Yours in Peace, Love & Truth
@SteemTruth

P.S. I’m aware that there are many ways to prove a spherical earth. This is possibly the simplest method, and hopefully the most effective. If you have a better, simpler method please let me know in the comments below.

P.P.S. Many christians have also been tricked into believing the earth is flat. The bible says the earth hangs on nothing.

> He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. (Job 26:7)

To bad you didn't do you research into flat earth.

There are flat earth channels that talk extensively about southern hemisphere flights. And, they make a lot more sense out of the same data as you have here.

So, riddle me this. If a light house can be seen from X miles away, and the computations of the ball earth places it clearly over the edge of the horizon, how is it seen?

Too bad i won't bite.

And since I saw much of it on Utube, you could do the same.

I will not waste time trying to prove anything to you.
It can't be done. Even if I had photographic evidence, it wouldn't be enough. Even if I had mathematical models, enough to fill a library, it wouldn't be enough.

I'm a sailor. I intend to sail my yacht to Antartica in the next 4-5 years. I know sailors that have been there. They were not met by naval warships and told to turn around. They have no reason to lie to me about their trips down there.

Trevor Robertson is from my home town. He is the only man in history to have solo sailed his yacht unassisted and allowed himself to be frozen in for both an Antarctica and Arctic winter. Here is a link to his blog - you can find other articles about his exploits.

@sift666 - there are many ports that a sailor can depart from and NZ is certainly one of them. Patagonia is the closet to Antartica and a very popular launching pad.

>"When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit." -Ayn Rand

Even though it isn't in the direct quote, I think one could look at this quote on the other side and say there is no profit to be had by either party in a disagreement when the rational, observable universe is not the agreed upon standard. Any appeals to faith or shifting the burden of proof is, as you said, an attempt to divert. Removing the objective eye is to remove the only tool we can use as a common frame of reference in our existence as separate beings.

@teamsteem | Jan. 24, 2018, 10:13 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

I think she might have meant that the person that was wrong will profit in being left alone and not being forced to the change their mind and in the end if they are open to it they will profit from being proven wrong and thus able to change their mind on their own accord. I really love that quote. I had never seen it before.

@thedreamsteem | Jan. 24, 2018, 10:31 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Correct; in the quote, she is speaking of the rational conversation. In my commentary, I am referring to the lack of purpose of your discussion with those of the irrational camp of mind, the people who are denying the many sources that have been duplicated and verified over and over on a given topic, like the shape of our planet. Can and do the discussions happen? Of course. But as you stated at the beginning, the time of critically-thinking and more productively contributing members of society are "wasting their time".

I am fully a skeptic, so I don't argue for blind acceptance as fact. But I do argue that time is everyone's most valuable resource so I make mine count.

well said @thedreamsteem and lovely quote. I am also a skeptic. I never accept anything blindly so years a few years ago I took a close look at flat earth because so many people we're talking about it. I wanted to know the truth so I did the research. There is lots of evidence for a spherical earth but I thought that this was the simplest one for any layman to understand. I spent considerable time looking at flat earth theory. I hope that my post will save people questioning the shape of the earth some time. All the very best!

And why don't you compare actual flight times, and not compute flight times? Computing just compares one model to another. Its bogus.

Take actual data, and then see which model fits it.

Give me a break.

Above the author says:
> All flights have been calculated at speeds of 500 mph (804 kmh). 30 minutes has been added for take-off and landing.

So, he is computing the flight time, and the distance is based on one model, and compared to the distance on another model. Even if they are right, they are completely wrong.

You take your models, compute the times, and then compare and contrast them to actual flight times and routes.

Even if you think the opposition is shtupid, the doesn't give you the right to skip over all the actual data.

You know what's even more disturbing than the flat earth theory. The 'no earth theory'. If for example you think that there is a high probability that we're living in a simulation, then technically you might be a no-earther!

The reason it's more disturbing than flat earth, is because it might be true. We'll start to consider these things more and more, when we begin to populate our video games with human like AI that can think and can communicate intellectually with "real world" players.

Great post mate. Can't argue with facts.
Y'know what though? It won't deter many of the flat earthers. I've spoken to a number over the past year or so and they can be unbelievably dogmatic
Even when you pose a question or produce evidence contrary to the flat earth 'theory' they're not having it.
It's a shame because 'flat earthers' are being compared to 9/11 truthers and other seriously legitimate truth seekers.

For your first question: seeing a ship sail over the horizon is just a limit of your eyesight. Simply take a camera, zoom in on that location, and you will see the ship somehow "magically reappear from behind the horizon".

On your second point about flight times: ZERO of the google images you show are actual flight paths and times. Try looking on a site that actually shows correct information about flight times and patterns. Google maps is not one. Here's a post from ifers to help you understand this better:

Lets discuss the Flat Earth Map and Flights from South America to Australia. Many ignorant individuals and shills are claiming Flights from "Santiago Chile to Sydney Australia" won't work on the Flat Earth Map.

Here's why they're wrong:

From: Santiago,CL (SCL)
To: Sydney,AU (SYD)

Use "farecompare" to check Depart and Return dates, you will see that the first few Flights are bogus showing half the distance required; you will also NOTICE that QANTAS does not Service SCL, you must always change Planes in the United States.

Flight
LA 801 SCL to SYD 18:35 hours 1 stop AKL 7337 miles
UA 846 SCL to SYD 43:30 hpurs 2 stop IAH, SFO 13713 miles

(https://steemitimages.com/DQmfXTcguSvuJHbAM1ujsc334y2WfNxq1WEJKNvXtzVVKY9/image.png)
See the first flight, LA 801, claims one stop in 7337 miles; this is a bogus flight, created using averaged Miles and Speed based on Google Maps, not an actual Flight.

Flight UA 846
The Black-Line indicates the actual flight route with Stops; in "Huston, Texas" and "San Francisco, California".
The Green-Line shows what could be non-stop for something like the Military.

This mass of dis-info related to Flights originating out of South America has been a consolidated effort to discredit the Flat Earth you live on.

Ballers are going to bullshit, they already beLIEve about people living above and below them.

I have a friend that flies Sydney to Chile every few years. He spent 3 months there last year. I messaged him while he was away and casually asked about his flight.

I have another friend that has taken the same non-stop flight.

Well I guess it comes down to your viewers believing something a friend of yours texted you, or looking up actual flights on websites like:
www.flyertalk.com

If you're stuck on believing you live on a spinning ball because a friend of yours says a flight was shorter than possible, then you need to open your mind up a little more and do some actual research ( google maps doesn't count)

> Well I guess it comes down to your viewers believing something a friend of yours texted you, or looking up actual flights on websites.

My friend, his wife and 10 children fly that route every couple of years. His parents live in Chile and he was born and raised there. He immigrated to Sydney, Australia as a young man. He is a church pastor and has no reason to lie to me. It's the only time that I have ever asked and I don't intend to ask him again. The quicker flight time is irrelevant to the topic. The fact that he has flown on this non-stop flight numerous times is relevant.

Furthermore, my other friend, her husband and 3 kids have also flown non-stop Sydney to Santiago. The husband is an engineer that accepted a 2 year contract in Chile. They have no reason to lie to me.

And, there are videos online of people on the actual flight, recording it for us.

If you don't believe that these flights are real and that people fly non-stop between Australia and Chile in approx 13-15 hours I don't know what to say other than to book a flight yourself and experience it firsthand.

I know that a lot of things are hidden from us and that some conspiracies are real but these southern hemisphere flights are not a conspiracy - they are real I'm afraid.

What do you think stars are?

Is the international space station spinning around a pancake? (you can see the ISS through a telescope multiple times a day)

If you live in the U.S., go outside and look at orion, or any easily identifiable constellations. Then go outside and look for it 8 hours later. It will be on the opposite side of the horizon, because earth is a sphere that is spinning.

Notice that the moon has phases. This is because the sun hits the moon at a different angle, while our angle relative to the moon stays the same. This is because the moon is a sphere, spinning around the earth.

Watch videos from the international space station. You will notice that the earth is a sphere.

Notice we have seasons. Notice seasons differ depending on where in the world you are. Seasons are caused by the axis at which the earth rotates. This is only possible if earth is a sphere.

Notice we have daytime and night time. This is because the earth is a sphere that is spinning while rotating around the sun.

Read about the universal law of gravity. There is a reason all planets are spherical (or ovular) as gravity is equal in all directions, thus objects attract to eachother in a spherical shape.

What is your best evidence that we don't live on a ball?

@ponts | Jan. 28, 2018, 3:17 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Not sure which of those was your best proof, most of them are nothing more than assumptions and beliefs; like watching edited and staged videos from nasa, or saying "notice we have day and night. This is because the earth is a sphere that is spinning" These laughable assumptions prove nothing more than you have a strong belief system.

But anyway, since you tried here's mine: The earth doesn't curve anywhere. Long distance photos of over 300 miles away have been taken at beaches, showing landmarks that should be cover by thousands of feet of curved water. If the Earth was a sphere 25,000 miles around, there would be a measurable curvature per foot. That measurement is 8 inches per mile squared as shown here
https://steemitimages.com/DQmeBxyQtehQij93SU5yc6Fs8WzDCvdpwyjKSiNJy8Z7r1o/FB_IMG_1498344837548.jpg

Seeing something more than 6 miles away that should be cover by more than a few feet of curved water is enough to tell that you are not on a ball with the specs that nasa gives you.
This was proven over one hundred years ago with the Bedford Level Experiment. I suggest you research this topic and many more instead of believing things like " oh there's day and night, so we must be on a spinning ball!"

That will work surely because all things here on earth are pulled by the earths gravity towards its center. If and only if flat earth really exists. Since the gravity will pull at the center, if far from the center then you throw a ball upward, the gravity will pull the ball towards its center which causes the ball not to go back to you.

Great post man. I work with a guy who believes the earth is flat and because I try to consider all possibilities I did spend a bit of time a few months ago looking into it and I can see why some people get sucked in. The funny thing is that because I didn't rudely or arrogantly dismiss his views and actually looked into it, most mornings people that sit near him in work walk past my desk and make stupid jokes implying that I am a flat earther, simply because I looked into it.

I'll forward this post to the my colleague to see if he has an answer for the flight times you point out in your post.

There are far more important things to be looking into than flat earth and you're right that it divides people and stops them from looking into other more important topics.

The odds of a vaccine causing autism or any other disorder is much less likely than obtaining a illness that you have not vaccinated for. While I normally don't care to argue over stupid conspiracy theories you should realize your words could potentially affect people.

I have taken many biology classes, none of my professors have proclaimed that vaccines cause autism and I am certain they are a LOT smarter than you. They have proclaimed, however, that there are many people like you who think this way, perhaps because you would want to blame your child being autistic on something.

You are comparing vaccination to pimple pus used to prevent pimples. That is like saying eating your vomit will prevent the illness you have. It is not a fair comparison. You are very much assuming the conclusion when you say
>Herd immunity is a joke! Vaccines do not immunize!

Wanna give me some evidence for those statements?

I never claimed vaccines make someone instantly immune to a disease, or that T cells are the most common immune response. This is not the body works. I also never claimed to be smarter than you, or that doctors have bigger brains than you. I have taken multiple biology courses and the professors who have spent their lives studying biology are smarter than you. They are smarter than me too.

There is no reason you can't research for yourself. You cannot proclaim yourself an expert however, when it's pretty blatant that you're not. It almost seems like you are making stuff up at this point. You are the one being both ignorant and arrogant. You are the one who thinks he knows everything.

If you are unwilling to listen to my side of the argument I am not willing to listen to yours. I am well educated enough to know that vaccines causing autism is a massively unproven conspiracy theory.

You cannot claim that vaccinations do not help eradicate disease. How did small pox or polio get eradicated?

>This means that natural immune system affords 98% of the early response to an infectious disease agent, while the adaptive or memory-based protective response that vaccination seeks to stimulate represents only 2% of early response.

I wasn't claiming that we don't have immune systems. It makes sense that most pathogens are killed through your typical immune response. You have not given any evidence that vaccines do not play a crucial role in disease protection.

You continue to speak as though everything you say is fact. You are trapped inside the arrogance of your own mind, your ego.

Example

Autistic conditions can result from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following MMR vaccination as held by the US Federal Court in the case of Bailey Banks. In his conclusion, US Federal Court Special Master Abell ruled that Petitioners had proven that the MMR had directly caused a brain inflammation illness called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which, in turn, had caused the autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS in the child:
The Court found that Bailey’s ADEM was both caused-in-fact and proximately caused by his vaccination. It is well-understood that the vaccination at issue can cause ADEM, and the Court found, based upon a full reading and hearing of the pertinent facts in this case, that it did actually cause the ADEM. Furthermore, Bailey’s ADEM was severe enough to cause lasting, residual damage, and retarded his developmental progress, which fits under the generalized heading of Pervasive Developmental Delay, or PDD [an autism spectrum disorder]. The Court found that Bailey would not have suffered this delay but for the administration of the MMR vaccine, and that this chain of causation was… a proximate sequence of cause and effect leading inexorably from vaccination to Pervasive Developmental Delay.

*10 autism/vaccine studies

"Although these increases may partly reflect ascertainment biases, an exogenous trigger could explain a significant portion of the reported increases in ASDs. It is hypothesized here that the introduction of the Hib conjugate vaccine in the US in 1988 and its subsequent introduction in Denmark and Israel could explain a substantial portion of the initial increases in ASDs in those countries. The continuation of the trend toward increased rates of ASDs could be further explained by increased usage of the vaccine, a change in 1990 in the recommended age of vaccination in the US from 15 to 2 months, increased immunogenicity of the vaccine through changes in its carrier protein, and the subsequent introduction of the conjugate vaccine for Streptococcus pneumoniae."

human fetal cell lines, containing fetal and retroviral contaminants, into childhood vaccine regimens.
This pattern was repeated in the US, UK, Western Australia and Denmark. Thus, rising autistic disorder
prevalence is directly related to vaccines manufactured utilizing human fetal cells. "

"Furthermore, over 90% of MMR antibody-positive autistic sera were also positive for MBP autoantibodies, suggesting a strong association between MMR and CNS autoimmunity in autism. Stemming from this evidence, we suggest that an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles component thereof, might be related to pathogenesis of autism."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12145534/

"In conclusion, the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence favours acceptance that Hg exposure is capable of causing some ASDs."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19106436

"Many autistic children harbored brain myelin basic protein autoantibodies and elevated levels of antibodies to measles virus and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Measles might be etiologically linked to autism because measles and MMR antibodies (a viral marker) correlated positively to brain autoantibodies (an autoimmune marker)--salient features that characterize autoimmune pathology in autism. Autistic children also showed elevated levels of acute-phase reactants--a marker of systemic inflammation."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19758536

"Significantly increased adjusted (sex, age, vaccine type, vaccine manufacturer) risks of autism, speech disorders, mental retardation, personality disorders, thinking abnormalities, ataxia, and NDs in general, with minimal systematic error or confounding, were associated with TCV exposure.

It is clear from the results of the present epidemiological study and other recently published data associating mercury exposure with childhood NDs, additional ND research should be undertaken in the context of evaluating mercury-associated exposures, especially from Thimerosal-containing vaccines."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16807526

"Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) also known as pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) are a behaviorally defined group of neurodevelopmental disorders that are usually diagnosed in early childhood. ASDs disproportionately affect male children. Mercury (Hg) a heavy metal, is widespread and persistent in the environment. Mercury is a ubiquitous source of danger in fish, drugs, fungicides/herbicides, dental fillings, thermometers, and many other products. Elevated Hg concentrations may remain in the brain from several years to decades following exposure. This is important because investigators have long recognized that Hg is a neurodevelopmental poison; it can cause problems in neuronal cell migration and division, and can ultimately cause cell degeneration and death. Case-reports of patients have described developmental regressions with ASD symptoms following fetal and/or early childhood Hg exposure, and epidemiological studies have linked exposure to Hg with an elevated risk of a patient being diagnosed with an ASD. Immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with ASDs were reported following Hg intoxication with similarities extending to neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry. "
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20628444

"the present study provides new epidemiological evidence supporting an association between increasing organic-Hg exposure from Thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and the subsequent risk of an ASD diagnosis."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24354891

"The question of what is leading to the apparent increase in autism is of great importance. Like the link between aspirin and heart attack, even a small effect can have major health implications. If there is any link between autism and mercury, it is absolutely crucial that the first reports of the question are not falsely stating that no link occurs. We have reanalyzed the data set originally reported by Ip et al. in 2004 and have found that the original p value was in error and that a significant relation does exist between the blood levels of mercury and diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. Moreover, the hair sample analysis results offer some support for the idea that persons with autism may be less efficient and more variable at eliminating mercury from the blood."

Another example in which you have given NONE ! And you studied and went to school ?

Vaccinating with human body parts can cause the recipient to produce antibodies to human tissue. Children produce antibodies to every component of the vaccine, and not simply the viruses. This can cause demylination of the nerves and auto-immune disorders. Children who have been vaccinated with MMR and later suffered autism have been found to have antibodies to their own brain tissue, and this may be a consequence of using foetal tissue in MMR. ‘Susana C. Silva, Catarina Correia and Astrid M. Vicente at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Oeiras, Portugal and colleagues studied the blood of a large sample of individuals - 171 patients, 191 parents and 54 healthy controls - and report that autistic patients are in fact characterised by presenting in their blood high levels of non-inherited antibodies against the body’s brain tissue.’ (Dr Catarina Amorim; Journal of Neuroimmunology; Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Observatório da Ciência e do Ensino Superior, Portugal; July 23, 2004).

The MMR and inflammation of the brain. Dr. Harold Buttram has written about the MMR vaccine's potential link to autism, due to the vaccine's potential to cause brain inflammation. He explains:

"First and perhaps foremost, MMR is incubated in chick embryo culture medium, which necessarily includes precursors of all the organ systems of the chick, including myelin basic protein. Merck Pharmaceuticals, which produces MMR vaccine, claims that all traces of the chick embryo are removed before the vaccine is released for use.

This may be true, but it is probably irrelevant as it does not take into account the process of mobile genetic elements, more commonly referred to as "jumping genes." Viruses being made up entirely of genetic material, they are highly susceptible to this process.

It has been shown that viruses are genetically changed by accepting genetic material from cell cultures.' The genetic imprint of the chick myelin basic protein, which is foreign to the human system because of its chick origin, may be programmed to induce antibodies against human myelin basic protein, once injected into the human system.

This in turn, potentially resulting in encephalitis."

If you don't want to take his word for it, take a look at the package insert for Merck's MMR vaccine, which, on page seven, lists encephalitis as a potential side effect. Type 2 diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is another, along with a number of other potentially life altering conditions. Rarely, if ever, will your pediatrician calmly inform you of these reported side effects, which is why you'd be wise to read through the vaccine manufacturer product inserts as part of your own personal research, prior to vaccination.

As a potential connecting link between vaccines, brain inflammation, and autism, Diana Vargas and colleagues (2005) examined the brains from autopsies of 11 autistic patients ranging in ages from 5 to 44 years, in which they found the presence of extensively activated microglia and astrocytes (the brain’s immune cells) along with proinflammatory cytokines.

Normally dormant, the microglia and astrocytes can become very destructive when overstimulated for prolonged periods of time, which vaccine adjuvants are designed to bring about. As with the Pourcyrous study, it was the first study of its kind, clearly documenting a significant association between autism and brain inflammation.

AUTISM ?

Contamination from VACCINES!
Remember they are ALL contaminated

You will remember this conversation one day I promise

The worldwide increase in the diagnosis of autism and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) together with increasing reports of a regressive onset has caused many to argue that the condition should no longer be viewed as solely, or even mainly, genetic in origin, environmental factors must be implicated, particularly those of bacterial or viral genesis. Pathogenic substances entering the bodies and/or bloodstream (vaccination) of developing children merit consideration and investigation in the search for causation.
The witness and evidence of parents may provide persuasive clues.

Mitochondrial Disorder
In the United States, in a landmark judgement, it was decreed that a child (Hannah Poling) had developed autistic symptoms following multiple vaccinations, including MMR.
―What's unique about Hannah's case is that for the first time federal authorities conceded a connection between her autistic symptoms and the vaccines she received, though the connection is by no means simple. A panel of medical evaluators at the Department of Health and Human Services concluded that Hannah had been injured by vaccines — and recommended that her family be compensated for the injuries. The panel said that Hannah had an underlying cellular disorder that was aggravated by the vaccines, causing brain damage with features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In Hannah‘s case, the vaccine court determined that the underlying dysfunction of her mitochondria puts her at an increased risk of injury from vaccines‖. (35)
Interestingly, there is scientific information available to show that Mitochondrial disease is common in autistic patients and that Mycoplasmas affect the function of mitochondria. In fact Mycoplasma infection competes with the mitochondria and infects the cells containing mitochondria and the mitochondria themselves. (36) (37)
Mitochondrial malfunction can be a symptom of Mycoplasma infection!

If you had immunity from vaccination you wouldn't need a booster shot right?
Memory cells are slow learners just like provaxxers

What if the response is to slow?

A single bacterium with a doubling time of one hour can produce almost 20 million progeny, a full-blown infection, in a single day.

If the "so called" diphtheria vaccine, which is in fact a toxoid, works against the toxin produced by the bacteria, and not against the bacteria itself, then how did this "vaccine" help in the decline in diphtheria?

Antibodies against poison do not constitute an immunization.

University of Chicago researchers found that Memory T cells are “distressingly slow learners”, requiring “several generations” of intensive stimulation to make a lasting impression on T cells “No vaccine trial to date has been able to produce significant numbers of memory T lymphocytes...”

The Pasteur Institute found that “98% of the immune responses triggered at the early stages of infection are non specific. These non specific responses had been observed following different infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi.” This means that natural immune system affords 98% of the early response to an infectious disease agent, while the adaptive or memory-based protective response that vaccination seeks to stimulate represents only 2% of early response.

The study, entitled “B cell maintenance of subcapsular sinus macrophages protects against a fatal viral infection independent of adaptive immunity,” examined mice that had been infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The results of the experiment were quite surprising to the scientists. As Dr. Ulrich H. von Andrian of Harvard Medical School stated, “Mice infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) can suffer fatal invasion of the central nervous system even when they have a high concentration of anti-VSV antibodies in their system. This observation led us to revisit the contribution of adaptive immune responses to survival following VSV infection.”

I will say it again
Antibodies do not determine immunity any immunologist should know this.
Science and their assumptions,
All that the presence of antibodies in a person means is that the person has come into contact with a particular pathogen, it does not mean that they have immunity.
Antibodies are just ONE part of the immune system response.........maybe antibodies meant something after experiencing a disease as antibody titres were there AS WELL as the rest of the immune response (which isn't measured). But in vaccines antibodies just mean exposure and do NOT mean the immune system went through all it needed to to give lasting immunity or any immunity.

By the way, (vaccine) research has found that IgA antibodies are a much better indication of immunity than IgG antibodies, but when you have gone through the infection naturally (i.e. the antigen has entered through the natural portals of entry), both would be present anyway. When you inject the vaccine ingredients directly into the system, however, you basically bypass the production of IgA, which is another reason why we know immunologically that vaccines are ineffective. Indeed it is the quiet realization of this significant error that is prompting efforts to produce vaccines that are inhaled instead of injected, e.g. the 'flu vaccine (though they will still be pointless and contain harmful ingredients).

It has been theorized by some that vaccines overstimulate the humoral immune response (which incorporates the production of antibodies) at the expense of the other major part of the immune system - the cell-mediated immune response (the production of T cells). I would say that even this is being too kind to vaccines, because it clearly does not even stimulate a normal humoral immune response. The immune system is very complex and with important inter-relationships between its components. The development of immunity requires many processes to occur and complete, requiring the whole team work of all the required immune system components. This simply will not occur other than when the body contracts the infection naturally, and this is only when IT, THE BODY, wants to, not when man wants it to

First of all let's go back to before this all started.   Noganoo was investigating the fraud and theft of 10s of millions of dollars of rewards by Donkeypong, Gavvet, Sauravrungta, HanshotFirst, Kevinwong, The-Alien, JrCornel, Sweetsssj and Knozaki2015 with their organization called "SteemGuild" where they used the Steemit Co-founder Ned's account to vote for themselves instead of the "minnows" they claimed to be supporting.   Go look at all of their current account values and you can see that over 1 year ago Noganoo was right! They paid themselves multi-millions for only a couple months of curating on Steemit. Something the rest of us do for free.   You can see that these people and their friends are the only people who have ever attacked Noganoo.   They are trying to cover up their theft.   If you go back on the blockchain you can see Noganoo's accounts previously supported most of these authors with his thousand bot voters early on in the platforms launch.   https://steemd.com/@sweet-banana?page=17     Then Noganoo called out The-Alien for his common use of the word "Motherfucker" in his fiction stories that were upvoted by their "Steemguild" to number one on trending every day to "raise money for the guild."   Fact is they stole millions of dollars.   This rebuke prevented Noganoo from ever getting an upvote from that guild which controlled over 30% of the voting power on Steemit at the time.

Here is Pfunk 2 years ago violently attacking an article Noganoo wrote about Christianity,   Pfunk at the time had no idea Noganoo wrote this!   Pfunk is a hater of true Christians but aligns himself with the fake Christians so he can get more witness votes and doesn't lose support.   Pfunk proceeded to individually message everyone that upvoted Noganoo and slander him and threaten them with loss of support if they continue to upvote his articles.   Pfunk, Berniesanders and Ausbitbank costed Noganoo over 50,000 dollars in losses last year.   Ausbitbank attacked Noganoo to impress his witness friends when Noganoo is the one who brought him to Steemit.   He brought Noganoo’s reputation from 68 down to zero with stolen Steempower provided by JamesC

let me assure you that after more than 30 years of stellar travel that not only is the Earth quite round, but so are all of our celestial bodies! Once you do finally travel to space and look back you will know this without a doubt.

Your beliefs in an ancient religion does not assure me of your silly ideas at all.
However, proofs of evidence do. So what's your best proof that you live on a spinning ball?

@cpt.picard | Jan. 28, 2018, 3:17 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Well, @ponts , there are many ways to illustrate to you that we are living on a round spinning celestial globe.. Let me try to illuminate some of them.

  1. When you compare the macrocosm with the microcosm, you discover that there are striking similarities in form and function. We see the same patterns and shapes in the smallest things as we do the biggest. For example the orbits of electrons around protons and neutrons in an atom are very much like the movement of planets, stars, solar systems and galaxies. There are a thousand examples of this when we look at nature and the universe.

Now, let me ask you .. have you ever heard of a flat molecule? Have you noticed how the cells that make up our bodies are round and never flat. Molecules are all three dimensional, made from round atoms and elements .. there is nothing flat in the micro-verse, and conversely we can deduce that the same must be so for the macro-verse. Planets and starts are all round and very bulbous indeed.

  1. If I was able to explain the mathematics and physics of celestial bodies, and the effect of a spin on shape, you would understand instantly that a spinning flat object is an unheard of phenomenon! It is simply impossible due to the most basic laws of Newtonian physics.

  2. I have been exploring this galaxy for decades, and have landed on countless planets, in almost the same way that your astronauts do. When you make an approach to a globe, it is quite obvious what the shape is, and our calculations are all based upon a round globe rather than a flat circle. If this was not the case, your space ships would have crashed many times trying to land.

I hope this goes at least some way in explaining things for you. I always salute those who challenge the truth, even in the face of great adversity or dogma. It is that earnest search that can uncover some of the greatest knowledge and mis-truths about life itself.

Your proofs are nothing more than assumptions! You are assuming that Earth is a globe because of how atoms work. You assume the Earth is a spinning globe because a spinning flat object doesn't make sense. ( this one made me giggle) THE EARTH IS STILL NOT SPINNING! And your third point is just silly nonsense that holds no proof of evidence, just like your other points. STOP ASSUMING THINGS! They show nothing more than you believe in fairy tales. We all know you haven't been flying around space landing on planets, so stop making things up, you just look like a fool now saying you have landed on countless planets. Thanks for the laugh though, must be fun to play make believe.

Last night I spent a long time reading this post and the comments/discussions it has generated with great interest. Respect to the FE proponents and the energy some of you have put in over here, and respect to those who engaged with them on a serious, if at times hillariously flippant, level (sure paradoxes exist and meet :). I am replying to @cpt.picard's comment here as one of the points he made really stands out to me as relevant:
> When you compare the macrocosm with the microcosm, you discover that there are striking similarities in form and function.

The circle or spherical shape is basic, elementary and natural. It goes back to the beginning of time, where there was nothing - '0' or even a dot, a round circle full-stop of infinite potentiality and non-form. The circle or sphere has great internal cohesion and also has a special relationship with all the other fundamental shapes, bounding them within it. It can represent infinity - without a beginning or end point (or with ALL points being beginning and end points - an infinity of them!). That the circle or spere is the natural shape of planets, stars etc seems therefore logical to me.

However, one thing I do know is that appearances ARE deceptive. This may indeed be a simulation and there is a lot to indicate that we do project our own realities. I think that over and above the appearance of 'littleness' and 'victimhood' we experience, there is an infinity of creator potentiality in all of us, without exception! Literally, there may be room in this mulit-dimensional universe for both flat and round - and also no-earth realities, none of which are ultimately real.

Mind is like god, it can generate own logic for any outlandish idea and justify anything.

one just have to believe in it (like the flat earth theory), and the mind will create logic to justify everything and deny any other logic to override it until one lets it go.

And by the way people forget the duty that they need to perform in politics during their lives and leave it to others, that is the reason most people talk about governments as something alien.

We are the government, it has not fallen from the sky. those who don't believe in the government can venture into politics and try to take control, Don't expect it to be easy and fair though, it will take time and persistence to make some mark like any other field,

One can deny everything as government conspiracy, if we are believing government to be alien and out of our reach.

I remember coming across a great article against the flat Earth on a YouTube video somewhere that I probably would never be able to find again, so this argument isn't mine, but I'll share it anyway;

Given a flat Earth, the length of each line of longitude, if measured linearly, will be longer than the ones further north ("inward" on the flat Earth) from it, whereas on a globe, the lengths will increase until you get to the equator, then start decreasing again.

So a flat Earther could prove their case by picking two lines of latitude, one north of the equator and one south of it - let's say the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn - and measuring their distance as they circumnavigate them. If the Earth is flat, the southern latitude line will always be significantly longer than the northern one.

Go for it, flat Earthers.

Design and perform an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Analyze your data to determine whether to accept or reject the hypothesis.

Checks out

If necessary, propose and test a new hypothesis.

Some map maker back then trippin' on shrooms? The gooberment put it out to make us go a searchin'? I don't know? How bout the scientist Neil Degrasse Tyson's comment on how the Earth is not round but rather an oblate spheroid or pear shaped being smaller at the top and fatter below the equator? I can understand the Earth spinning at a 100 miles per hour, gravity and all that jazz with it being totally "round" but how's all this supposed to actually fly being pear shaped? Beats me... I just live here on this so called mudball.

My personal opinion is that FE is a psyop that has tricked some truthers and christians into believing it.

Obama, when replying a climate change skeptic replied 'this is not a meeting of the flat earth society'.

Obama directed people to the FE Society and labelled anyone questioning climate change in with flat earthers. This reminds of CIA Memo 1035-960 where they weaponized the term 'conspiracy theory' to attack anyone questioning the JFK assassination. It is an effective that has worked for them in the past and they are using it again only know they have switched it to FE.

The FE Society looks like a psyop front to me. Their theories are easy to debunk and I believe that is by design. Nowadays, when people mention a conspiracy some people reply with 'you probably believe in flat earth as well'.

This is designed to discredit the conspiracy theory that is being discussed and associate it with FE.

This may surprise you but I believe that every nation in the world is already controlled by the same group. I have shared small elements of this in some of my posts but I am yet to do a comprehensive expose and explain why I believe this.

It is a very heavy topic that requires many hours to succinctly compose and a very difficult one for most people to wrap their head around, let alone accept. It seemingly contradicts much of what we have been told throughout our lives.

The deception is greater than most people believe it to be imho. I'm not trying to be provocative, just sharing my opinion. I will try to expand on this belief with a post in the not too distant future. I've wanted to blog about this for some time but I have a few other topics that I need to cover first.

There is a lot that we will never know and there are too many rabbit holes to look down. Sharing what we know with each other can help all of to reach a higher level of awareness and bring us one step closer to the truth.

I've written about the Flat Earth hypothesis recently. What bugs me the most is how they can keep such a huge conspiracy that requires the cooperation of pretty much every nation in secret?

Would love to know what you think.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (KJV)
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

💥In my opinion, it would require strong delusion to be induced into believing flat earth stuff. Very sobering to think; and so many people are complacent about sin.💥
