Is this a throwback to your past life as chief honcho of the flat-earth society, 'common man'? The Earth IS a oblate spheroid and is modeled very well by the WGS-84 ellipsoid and datum Wow! .. |

snip My argument is an extension of the above. The rotational speed was much faster (say some 20,000rpm) and the earth was flattened out until it resembled a disc i.e. a 'Flat Earth'.

The 'beings are easily rerecognizable, they are about 4' tall, wear funny hats, have shocking personal hygiene and a strong propensity to stalk and verbally abuse woman. Their only contact with the real world is via a strange force known as 'EarthLink' They are best left alone. Ray, This has been exhaustively studied by the great cosmologist/geologist/sociologist Terry Pratchett. He has documented his findings in a series of texts that many have misunderstood as fiction. They are not. One ignores the Truths (tm) He reveals at one's peril. snip It also serves to illustrate the serious side effects of almost 5 years posting to this newsgroup. Init the truth :-) Tom McDonald |

It doesn't matter how rigorous your proof is. Netloons never get it ---
that's why they are loons. The best thing to do is just to ignore them. Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? Try http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/ And the Lunar Picture of the Day http://www.lpod.org/ ************************************ "Common Man" wrote in message news.com... Note to the readers of sci.astro.amateur and sci.astro: Pearl is a regular in the alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian newsgroup and claims that the earth could be hollow. She goes on to claim that this could have been caused by a rapidly spinning early earth. I've tried to explain (without success) that such a rapidly spinning body would flatten out rather than become hollow. If any of you wish to take a crack at explaining this to her, feel free. For Pearl: Evidence that a rapidly spinning object would flatten out, not become hollow. See: http://www.govertschilling.nl/artike.../030612_sc.htm |
