https://flatearthandthought.com/2017/10/21/flat-earth-flight-times-and-transversal-resonance/ It is called Transversal Resonance. Essentially, all objects increase in both volume and speed as you move southwards along the disk of the earth. As the above animation shows, this is why a jet moving along southern lines of latitude takes the same amount of time to complete its journey as a plane traveling in the north. At first glance, one would assume that it should take longer to travel along southern portions of the disk, as apposed to traveling in the north. However, do to the force of Transversal Resonance, the jet in the south is proportionately larger and faster than its counter part in the south. Due to the unequal values of relative volume and speed, the force of TR creates the illusion that 4000 miles in the south is the same as 400 miles in the north. And because TR effects the size and consistency of light waves as well, it is impossible to visually perceive or measure the force of TR directly. We must infer its existence. Before you stop and and cry "[b]but Krishna you always say we must rely directly on our senses, and nothing else! Now you are proposing the existence some invisible force that you cant observe???[/b]" Let me clarify: [b]Transversal Resonance does not represent an instance of incontrovertible knowledge. It is a [i]proposition[/i]. Propositions are suggestions, ideas that stem from what we know through direct, sensory observation. For example, we know that the horizon is Flat. This is an instance of incontrovertible knowledge.[/b] We also know that summers in the Arctic north are far warmer than summers in the Antarctic south, despite the fact that spherists believe that the earth is 3 million miles CLOSER to the sun during Antarctic summers. And yet, paradoxically, Antarctica is FROZEN during summertime. The idea that objects are larger in the south is consistent with what we actually observe regarding Antarctic summers. The increased volume of snow and ice, as well as wind speed, means that a frozen southern polar region is exactly what we would expect. Thus, the force of TR stems from what we already know about the world. Yes, TR shares conceptual similarities with the idea of gravity, except that it actually ties together different facets of knowledge about the world. In this sense, it is a synthesis. Gravity on the other hand represents an ad hoc attempt to legitimize the crippling inconsistencies of round earth science. People knew the earth was Flat before Newton, and they still know it today. The ball myth represents one of the supreme acts of ignorance ever foisted upon mankind by ruling religious dogmatists. Nothing is farther from fact than the idea of a ball earth. NOTHING. It never ceases to amaze me just how far people are willing to stretch their gullibility in order to preserve the worldview they feel safe with. Knowledge isn't safe. I wish people would actually dare to think for once... If you would like to debate this and other Flat Earth issues, check out FE&T reddit.
