Edward Hendrie's Defense of Flat Earth

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
“If the earth were a globe, none of the buildings, including the Sears Tower (now called the Willis Tower), would be visible from 57 miles away.”
I wrote Edward Hendrie, author of a new 500-page flat earth book:
We live in a climate of cognitive dissonance and I don’t intend to entertain any more. What exactly are you claiming? That if we travel west or east at same latitude, we do not reach the same spot? That night and day are not caused by earth rotation?
Here is his reply:
“Part of the glory of God and his handiwork is the fact that the earth is stationary and the sun travels in a circuit over the earth. “
“If the earth were a globe, airliners would not be able to fly on a flat and level path. Any pilot will tell you that once a plane gets to its cruising altitude, the pilot “levels off” and flies in a straight and level path. Indeed, the pilot uses the horizon to ensure that the plane is flying level.”

This is the mother of all deceptions. Without heliocentricity, [sun-centeredness] evolution would never have gotten a foothold. Heliocentricity is nothing short of the concealment of God.
In Orwell’s book, 1984, O’Brien told Winston Smith: “The second thing for you to realize is that power is power over human beings. Over the body — but, above all, over the mind. Power over matter — external reality, as you would call it — is not important. Already our control over matter is absolute.”
It was at that point that O’Brien explained: “We control matter because we control the mind.”
The elite do not have the power to make the earth spin at approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator, while at the same time revolving around the sun at approximately 67,000 miles per hour. All they need to do is convince the population of the world that is what happens. That is what O’Brien meant when he stated that “we control matter because we control the mind.”
By controlling the mind as to the basic nature of our world, they can control everything else we think and do. In Psalms 19:1 it states that the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows his handiwork. Part of the glory of God and his handiwork is the fact that the earth is stationary and the sun travels in a circuit over the earth.
God’s creation of heaven and earth is part and parcel of his creative powers each day when he forms each person in the womb. If people lose sight of God as creator of all things, then any sin, including abortion can be justified. It is important for people to understand the nature of God’s creation, because it reveals his character. In Isaiah 44:24 God states that he alone stretched forth the heavens and spread abroad the earth. A ball is not spread out. You spread out things that are flat, like a flat bed spread. God spread out the earth and he stretched forth the heavens above the earth.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.” (Isaiah 44:24)
Modern science has replaced God’s abode of heaven with the myth of the empty vacuum of space, thus suggesting that there is no heaven and there is no God. If there is only an empty vacuum of space, that means that God cannot be above us walking in the circuit of heaven. “Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.” (Job 22:14)
Hendrie did not address my question. Here is his full rebuttal to the article by L.C. Vincent Friday.
Arthur Schopenauer famously said that “all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” The truth of the flat earth is now in the ridicule stage. Vincent characterizes belief in a flat, stationary earth as vacuous “lunacy,” “primitive stupidity,” and a “pernicious and preposterous meme.” He is apparently one of the ridiculers.
I once believed in a spinning, globular earth, just as Vincent does now. However, I thoroughly studied the evidence. I invite him to do the same. The evidence drew me to the ineluctable conclusion that the earth is a not a moving globe.
My book presents irrefutable proof that the earth is flat and immovable. He makes a number of fallacious claims that he implies are universal views among all flat earthers. For example, he constructs a false paradigm of flat earthers believing in an “upward trajectory” of the earth to explain how objects “fall down to the ground” on a flat earth in the absence of gravity. That false upward trajectory paradigm he mindlessly passes along was born of an off-hand comment made by one man (Daniel Shenton) during an interview. His statement can only be properly characterized as disinformation, yet Vincent has taken it as though it is the orthodox flat earth view. It is not.
The answer to what causes objects to fall to the ground in the absence of gravity is density. People and objects are heavier than the air and therefore do not float off the ground. There are some gasses, of course, that are lighter than air, and they float off the ground. Everyone has seen helium balloons float up in the air. Everyone understands that helium balloons are not some sort of anti-gravity devices; they float up in the air, because helium is lighter than air. Why do people not understand that apples fall from trees to the ground, not because of gravity, but because apples are denser than air? They believe in the mystical force of gravity, not because it has been proven true, but because they have been brainwashed into believing in it. Gravity does not exist.
Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity was conjured up out of necessity. A theory was needed to explain how things could stick to a spinning, spherical earth and not fly off due the centrifugal force from the spinning globe. Aren’t you the least bit curious why the supposed force of gravity has never been measured or replicated in any way in any experiment? The gravitational theory requires that gravitational attraction to the earth by all persons and objects remains the same at all places on the earth. That means that the gravitational force at the North Pole is the same as the gravitational force at the equator. That poses a very real problem if the earth is spinning as alleged. That is because the centrifugal force decreases every mile toward the north pole, where the centrifugal force is ultimately reduced to zero, because the North Pole is the axis of the supposedly spinning earth.
On a globe, as you travel north or south of the equator the circumference parallel to the equator becomes less. That is because the speed of the earth’s spin at those more northern and southern latitudes from the equator would be slower than its speed of spin at the equator. For example, at the 45 degree north latitude, the earth’s spin should be approximately 700 miles per hour. One hundred feet from the North Pole, the earth’s spin should be reduced to one quarter mile per hour (1,308 feet per hour).
As the speed of the spin is reduced, so also is the correlative centrifugal force. What is the amount of decrease of the centrifugal force between the equator to one hundred feet of the North Pole? There would be a 4,000 fold reduction (1,000 MPH vs. ¼ MPH) in centrifugal force from the equator to a point one hundred feet of the North Pole. That means, assuming (as is required by the theory of gravity) that the force of gravity remains constant over the entire surface of the earth, a 175 pound man at the equator would weigh 700,000 pounds if he traveled to within 100 feet of the North Pole. Assuming the earth is spinning, the decrease in the centrifugal force as one approaches the North Pole, means that a person would be crushed by the force of gravity, before he ever reached the North Pole. The spinning earth and the mystical force of gravity are thus proven to be preposterous fictions.
Vincent’s argument that those adhering to the flat earth believe that “moons and stars are illusions or flat spinning discs created by aliens” is simply false. The only flat earther who would make such a claim would have to be a government shill planted to discredit evidence of the flat earth. Indeed, his statement is the first time I have ever heard such a claim.
The evidence of a flat earth is everywhere to be seen. For example, in the photograph the Chicago skyline can be seen clearly. The picture was taken by Joshua Nowicki as he stood at Grand Mere Park, Michigan, which is approximately 57 miles away, across lake Michigan from Chicago.
If the earth were a globe, none of the buildings, including the Sears Tower (now called the Willis Tower), would be visible. They would all be below the horizon. The top of the Sears Tower would be 194 feet below the horizon. The only thing that would be visible in the entire Chicago skyline would be the uppermost 85 feet of the antennae on the top of the Sears Tower. In fact, however, the entire Sears Tower and all of the other buildings along the shore in Chicago can be seen in the Nowicki photograph. That picture by Joshua Nowicki of the Chicago skyline proves that the earth is flat.
If the earth were a globe, airliners would not be able to fly on a flat and level path. Any pilot will tell you that once a plane gets to its cruising altitude, the pilot “levels off” and flies in a straight and level path. Indeed, the pilot uses the horizon to ensure that the plane is flying level. When visibility is poor, the pilot will use the instruments and fly a level heading, using an artificial horizon. Either way, at all times the plane flies level, once the pilot reaches cruising altitude. If the earth were a globe, the pilot would have to constantly adjust the heading of the plane and dip its nose down to keep a constant altitude. However, the earth is in fact flat, so if a pilot dipped the nose of the plane down, to adjust for the supposed curvature of the earth, he would find that he is losing altitude. If the pilot kept on that downward trajectory, the plane would crash into the earth. The fact that no such downward adjustment is made by pilots for the supposed curvature of the earth is proof that the earth is flat. Indeed, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) assumes a flat earth when training pilots and air traffic controllers using their Target Generation Facility (TGF).
My book addresses evidence and presents a multiplicity of proofs that the earth is stationary and flat. My hope is that you decide to leave the tranquility of disinformation, and endeavor to study the evidence. An honest man who is shown to be wrong must either admit his error or cease to be honest. Are you an honest man?

There is a simple mistake here: “a 175 pound man at the equator would weigh 700,000 pounds if he traveled to within 100 feet of the North Pole”
The author is multiplying 175 by 4,000. The (false) assumption is, that his weight is 700,000 pounds to start with, and it is reduced to 175 by centrifugal force at the equator.
The RIGHT way to do this is to (1) start with 175 pounds at the equator and (2) calculate how much of his weight is cancelled by centrifugal force and distance from the center of the earth (that’s less than 1% of his weight.)
Now add that pound or pound and a half to his 175 pounds, to get his weight at the pole. There is no multiplication involved.
A different kind of error is here: “once a plane gets to its cruising altitude, the pilot “levels off” and flies in a straight and level path”
The word “level” simply means not ascending or descending, relative to the horizon. When you are driving uphill or downhill, your car is still “level” relative to the road, yes? You keep your eyes straight ahead, yes? Same thing. The airplane is following the Earth’s curvature.
“Schuler tuning” is the adjustment made to the information from gyroscopes, in inertial guidance systems, to account for the curvature of the Earth.
I’m surprised the author didn’t mention the “leaning” problem. Here we are, “gravitationally attracted” straight down, but only at the equator is centrifugal force DIRECTLY opposite that “pull.”
I can only suggest the centrifugal force is so small, we adjust for it without thinking. The vector is only slightly different from straight down.
I’m surprised the author didn’t mention the “uphill” problem, of moving toward the equator and the equatorial bulge.
Yes, rivers and winds and currents and ships and planes must move “uphill” more than 13 miles, as they move toward the equator. The centrifugal force of the Earth’s spin lifts them. The same force that creates the equatorial bulge.
The problem of seeing things that should be over the horizon, given the formula for the curvature of a sphere, well. All I can tell you is:
An object of n dimensions is bounded by surfaces of (n minus 1) dimensions. The Earth has a 3 dimensional surface, therefore it is a 4 dimensional sphere.
This is also proven by circular impact craters, and circular ripples when you throw something into water, at any angle. To penetrate a 4 dimensional object, you must make a 3 dimensional hole. The force of penetration has magnitude, but no direction.
We cannot see an infinite distance over the horizon. Just a certain amount of distance. You’re looking at a 4 dimensional flow, when you look at light. Not a particle of 3 dimensions, but a wave in 4 dimensions.
No, “quantum tunneling” isn’t real. “Particles” don’t jump across a barrier. 4 dimensional waves are real. And they go around that barrier.
When you look at a distant object, you are seeing a 2 dimensional slice of it. (Up, down, right, left.) The inverse square law determines what you see. The light spreads out and weakens, as a square of distance.
Now zoom in with a telescope. You are seeing a different slice of a 4 dimensional flow. Light doesn’t travel in LINES, it travels in SHEETS. And some small part of it is not blocked by the linear curvature of the Earth, at relatively close distances.
I’m sorry if that answer is unconventional and exotic. It is true.
And I’m sorry we don’t have time to be unconventional about gravity and about time. Because the books are wrong about those.
You need psychiatric help.
ha ha ha…there are some things I stated as facts….feel free to disprove any of them.
And feel free to read more widely.
