If you don't mind me asking, how did you come by the realization that the earth was flat?
What scientific documentation convinced you?
I wanted to shut up these annoying people who said the earth was flat. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and do some serious research and get the hard facts to debunk the FE theory.
I had to start by finding out what the FE theory meant first, and when I started to look at what they believed in, I would say to myself "Well hang on, that can't be right, science has told us this ...."
so then I had to go back and see how this is explained by science, then I would see how FE theory explains it, and consider which explanation made more sense.
Then I would move to the next issue on the FE list and repeat the research and explanations, and so on and so on.
This took weeks, not just a few hours or a day or two. The hardest part by far, for me personally, was understanding the visual perspective or optical perspective.
Back in the 90's, there was a huge craze about these 3D pictures that came out. I would stare at these things for hours, and I could never see this "image" that was supposed to jump out at the viewer and reveal what they were looking at.
I never could see them, much to my frustration, and I wonder if this is why I struggled with the optical perspective subject.
You guys in this thread seem to think that I or card, can show you one link that has all the answers and indisputable proof about the FE theory. There isn't one. It takes a long time of researching MANY different subjects that all relate to the FE.
Every hour you spend doing genuine research, helps you to put the small piece of the giant puzzle together. You will not believe in the FE until all those pieces have completed the puzzle. If you have missing pieces, then it means you have to keep
researching until you can find the answer. If you bitch and moan and say "I can't find a reasonable explanation to this xxxxx issue" then you haven't done enough research. Don't get angry if you don't understand it, just keep trying.
I was rocking up to work with just a few hours sleep, day after day, because I was up all night, obsessed with trying to fit all the pieces to the FE puzzle. Researching like crazy, having to try to sift through all the BS that is rampant in the FE subject.
