You should grab a go pro and and find the edge. Why don't you do that? All the evidence the world needs is a picture of the edge of the earth. You talk the talk, now go walk the walk. You can blog about it even! I want to see the edge. Think of the glory! Tell the world, let us see it for ouselves. You can vindicate your beliefs, shake the pillars of science and comon knowledge! Be careful though, bring a parachute, and of course a towel. Thanks to the wonder of satellites that may or may not be in geosynchronous orbit you can broadcast your adventure to the world! Frankly your faith based pseudoscience makes my stomach turn, but if you can provide actual proof and not just poor interpretations of fact I'll be converted.

  • I find it amusing that pictures somehow constitute proof in the digital age. There as a completely legitimate reason that no one has gone to the edge, or ever will. The edge of the earth is surrounded by a massive ring of ice and tundra that extends for thousands of miles. As you near the edge (thousands of miles before you even get to the edge) temperatures drop and oxygen thins. If I attempted to physically reach the edge I would die from lack of oxygen long before I got there.

  • Hey bud... you okay? I'm a little worried about you. I mean originally I was excited. I thought "wow, this guy could really do it... go out and do something meaningful, shift a global paradigm", but you just dropped off the face of the earth...... Is this normal? I mean do flat earthers just tuck tail and run in the face of a challenge? You don't trust digital photography, it doesn't have to be digital. I thought the air pressure mapping was a pretty good way of getting an approximation of the edge. It might not be exact, but it would follow the contour to an extent... best part is you wouldn't die! It seems to me that I don't know of a single flat earther, rich or poor who has ever put in the effort to find the edge. Not one comes to mind! And I'm not talking about ancient myths that are a blend of fact and fiction... I'm talking about someone reasonably contemporary with verifiable proof. As far as I know, the only people who have actually gone out to look seem to come back with the whacky notion that the earth is roughly spherical.... now I'm sure that's just coincidence... but it's still odd! Best of luck! I'm waiting with baited breath to have my mind blown!

  • I do not support Ken Ham. And I hope people are able to truly explore and discover one day without the limitations of science. As it is, mainstream science controls money, and money furthers research (spurious or otherwise).

  • Don't make excuses. Science doesn't control you! And you are not alone! Start a go fund me page and ask your fellow truthers to help you out. Recently there have been some celebrity truthers who spoke out... they have money, and the belief. Find out if they want to put their money where their mouths are! Debate Bill Nye, it worked for Ken Ham! I'm glad you don't support Ken Ham, to me his eyes look like the eyes of a very mean man... but I would love to see them put that thing in the ocean and see what happens. If you are going to convince people like me that the earth is flat you are going to need proof. People have been proving the earth is round for a while now. I, myself, have seen the curvature of the earth from mountain tops, airplanes, and at sea. I am convinced it is round. I'm not saying this to irk you, but to illustrate a point. For someone like me to believe you, you are going to have to prove the earth is flat in no uncertain terms. To be perfectly honest, your arguments to discredit the evidence that supports a round earth and your arguments for a flat one only illustrate a poor grasp of scientific principles. I suppose that is to be expected of a person who rejects science. I'm not trying to be rude, and you are probably already quite aware that many of us read your ideas and think you are wrong and clearly ignorant of some pretty fundamental principles... which in turn is how you probably feel about us. The reason I bring this up is simply to suggest that for you to overcome that much skepticism you need verifiable proof that there is an edge. Every time I hear an excuse it erodes your case. Why has no one else proven the existence of an edge. We have a myriad of tools at our disposal that could help, and yet no one in recent history has tried. That, in and of itself, suggests that even the truthers know deep down inside that they are wrong. Instead they would rather construct a fiction about why searching would be fruitless than risk being wrong. Please, go, prove me wrong. I've been trying to help. I am open minded, but I'm also skeptical. You are trying to prove to us that the world is flat so the burden of proof is on you. 1. Disproving arguments for a round earth does not prove that it is flat. 2. Provide proof that is repeatable/verifiable.

    Wow, that is a really defeatist attitude, I expected more. Take a picture of this giant ice wall, plot it's edges so that we know the true shape of the earth. If you can't find the edge, show us this game of thrones-esque ice wall! As for the thinning air, that is another thing you could document to help define the shape of the earth. I'm not suggesting you go out an suffocate, but plot where the air thins. You'd have to take into account your elevation and the current air density... but you should be able to plot a fairly reliable shape that corresponds with the edge! You can do it man! All I've heard from you are words, but when it comes down to real hard proof of an edge all I hear are excuses. Go be the Columbus of the flat earthers. If you want the world to believe something as "crack-pot" as this you'll need more than creative misconceptions, and excuses for not being able to provide actual proof. If you need a boat maybe you can borrow Ken Ham's Ark! Your adventure can kill two birds with one stone. You'll have a ship, AND you can't test weather or not this authentic recreation is seaworthy! A double dose of "How do you like me now" for non believers!

  • Man, I wish we could invent some sort of apparatus that would shield man from the outside planetary forces (like cold and low levels of oxygen) while being capable of multi-directional horisontal movement. Maybe we could reach the edge of the Earth that way. You could put a man inside this machine to "steer" it wherever they want or even have a "robot" inside that you control remotely. Man, I wish that was possible. One day, maybe...

  • Oxygen tanks and re-breathers. A big coat and scarf and a hardy pair of walking boots. Now go and take a peak over the edge.
