 Hinduism

Hinduism is the dominant religion, or way of life, in South Asia, most notably in India and Nepal. Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is a family of linked religious cultures bound by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, pilgrimage to sacred sites and the questioning of authority.

Hinduism has been called the "oldest religion" in the world, and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal law" or the "eternal way" beyond human origins.

The Bible

The Bible is a collection of texts sacred in Judaism and Christianity. It is a collection of scriptures written at different times by different authors in different locations. Jews and Christians consider the books of the Bible to be a product of divine inspiration or an authoritative record of the relationship between God and humans.

Eratosthenes

was a Greek mathematician, geographer, poet, astronomer, and music theorist. He was a man of learning, becoming the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. He invented the discipline of geography, including the terminology used today.

He is best known for being the first person to calculate the apparent circumference of the Earth, which he did by applying a measuring system using stadia, which was a standard unit of measure during that time period. Apparently, his calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis (again with remarkable accuracy). Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day.^[4] He created the first map of the world incorporating parallels and meridians, based on the available geographical knowledge of the era.

100 AD

Ptolemy

Claudius Ptolemy AD 100 – c. 170) was a Greco-Egyptian writer, known as a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology. He lived in the city of Alexandria in the Roman province of Egypt, wrote in Koine Greek, and held Roman citizenship. Beyond that, few reliable details of his life are known. His birthplace has been given as Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid in an uncorroborated statement by the 14th-century astronomer Theodore Meliteniotes.

600 - 1000 AD

The Bhagavata Purana

 The Bhagavata Purana  is one of eighteen great texts of Hinduism. 
The Bhagavata Purana, like other Puranas, discusses a wide range of topics, including cosmology, genealogy, geography, mythology, legends, music, dance, yoga practice and culture.

1450 to 1506

Christopher Columbus

 Was an Italian explorer, navigator, colonizer and citizen of the Republic of Genoa. Under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. Those voyages, and his efforts to establish permanent settlements on the island of Hispaniola, initiated the Spanish colonization of the New World.

1543

Copernican Heliocentrism

Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe. The publication of this model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) just before his death in 1543 is considered a major event in the history of science.

Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. It positioned the Sun near the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets rotating around it in circular paths.

1573

Tycho Brahe

Tycho Brahe, born Tyge Ottesen Brahe, 14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601), was a Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical and planetary observations. He was born in Scania, then part of Denmark, now part of modern-day Sweden. Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer and alchemist, and has been described more recently as "the first competent mind in modern astronomy to feel ardently the passion for exact empirical facts, and in his De nova stella (On the new star) of 1573, he refuted the Aristotelian belief in an unchanging celestial realm.

1687

Newtons Law Of Gravitation

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that any two bodies in the Universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Apparently this is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called induction.

7 November 1728 14 February 1779

Captain James Cook

Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.

1838

The Bedford Levels Experiment

The Bedford Level Experiment is a series of observations carried out along a six-mile (9.7 km) length of the Old Bedford River on the Bedford Level, Norfolk, England, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was an attempt to determine the shape of the Earth. The results indicated that the Earth was flat.

1881

Samuel Birley Rowbotham

Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816–1884) was an English inventor and writer who wrote Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe under the pseudonym "Parallax". His work was based on his decade-long studies of the earth and was originally published as a 16-page pamphlet (1849), which he later expanded into a 430-page book (1881). According to Rowbotham's method, which he called Zetetic Astronomy, the earth is an enclosed plane, centered at the North Pole and bounded along its outward edge by a wall of ice, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth.

1887

The Michelson–Morley experiment

The Michelson–Morley experiment was performed over the spring and summer of 1887 by Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley at what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and published in November of the same year. It compared the speed of light in perpendicular directions, in an attempt to detect the relative motion of matter through the stationary luminiferous aether ("aether wind"). The result was negative, in that the expected difference between the speed of light in the direction of movement through the presumed aether, and the speed at right angles, was found not to exist; this result is generally considered to be the first strong evidence against the then-prevalent aether theory, and initiated a line of research that eventually led to special relativity, which rules out a stationary aether. The experiment has been referred to as "the moving-off point for the theoretical aspects of the Second Scientific Revolution"

1890

Is the Bible from Heaven?
Is the Earth a Globe?

 By Alex Gleeson

This book was written in 1890, and revised in 1893. It is authored by the man who devised the “Gleason’s New Standard Map of the World”.
The first part details the origins of the Bible, and Part two gives many arguments as to why the earth is not a globe. As this controversy continues to rage, even in modern times, this is one of the definitive sources for the theory.

1897

Zetetic Cosmogony
by Thomas Winship

Was a book written by Thomas Winship, published in 1897 which shows conclusive 
evidence that the Earth is not a rotating revolving globe spinning through space.

1901

Terra Firma
By David Wardlaw Scott

This unusual early work on 'Flat Earth Theory' was originally published in 1901. It comprises a comprehensive series of essays which use scripture, reason and fact to (attempt to) prove that the earth is not a planet.

1900's

Afton Marcella

Was an Englishman who sailed out of London hoping to find the edge of the earth, however ran low on food supplies and his crew suffered from scurvy and were forced to return. This was the first recorded expedition seeking to find the ends of the Earth.

1927

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang theory is apparently the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. The model accounts for the fact that the universe expanded from a very high density and high temperature state.

Since Georges Lemaître first noted, in 1927, that an expanding universe might be traced back in time to an originating single point, scientists have built on his idea of cosmic expansion.

1928- 1930

First Antarctic Expedition

In 1928, Byrd began his first expedition to the Antarctic involving two ships, and three airplanes.

Richard Evelyn Byrd, (October 25, 1888 – March 11, 1957) was an American naval officer who specialized in feats of exploration. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for valor given by the United States and was a pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics.


August Piccard
1931
Auguste Antoine Piccard (28 January 1884 – 24 March 1962) was a Swissphysicist, inventor and explorer, known for his record-breaking hot air balloon flights, with which he studied Earth's upper atmosphere. He achieved record breaking high altitudes in a hot air balloon at ___ feet?


An article in Popular Science in August 1931 described their journey:
"The story of their adventure surpasses fiction. During the ascent, the aluminum ball began to leak. They plugged it desperately with vaseline and cotton waste, stopping the leak. In the first half hour, the balloon shot upward nine miles. Through portholes, the observers saw the earth through copper-colored, then bluish, haze. It seemed a flat disk with upturned edge.

N.A.S.A
(Never a Straight Answer)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the United States government agency NOT responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the FAKE National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958.

Wernher Magnus Maximilian, Freiherr von Braun (March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German (and later USA) aerospace engineer^[2] and space architect credited with inventing the V-2 rocket for Nazi Germany and the Saturn V for the United States.^[3][4] He was one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany, where he was a member of the Nazi Party and the SS. Following World War II, he was moved to the United States, along with about 1,500 other scientists, technicians, and engineers, as part of Operation Paperclip, where he developed the rockets that launched America's first space satellite and first series of FAKE moon missions.

1959

The Antarctic Treaty

The Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington on 1 December 1959 by the twelve countries whose scientists had been active in and around Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957-58. It entered into force in 1961 and has since been acceded to by many other nations.

1961

Andrea Barnes

Andrea Barns, was born into an Ontario farming family 

who devoted her life to convincing the world that the earth is flat. On december the 3rd, 1961, at age 61, Andrea Barnes set out to Antarctica to find the edge. She has pursued this life mission for half a century,

and set out single handedly. Unfortunately she disappeared in the process.

Operation Fishbowl 
1962

was a series of high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 that were carried out by the United States as a part of the larger Operation Dominic nuclear test program. Many suggest that the intention was to blow open a hole in the dome.

There were 9 high-altitude rockets (30–80 km).

Tychonian Society

The Tychonian Society was founded in Canada in 1971 by the late Dutch-Canadian educator, Walter van der Kamp (photo at right). The society was, and still is, a loose-knit, world-wide group of individuals from all walks of life. It's original purpose was to disseminate information about the central place occupied by the earth in the universe.

Fred Espenak born 1953 is a retired Americanastrophysicist. He worked at the Goddard Space Flight Center. He is best known for his work on eclipse predictions, which he has been providing NASA with based on ancient Babylonian ecplise calculations.

Falklands War

The Falklands War or Falklands Conflict, Falklands Crisis, was a ten-week war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over two British overseas territories in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. It began on Friday, 2 April 1982, when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands in an attempt to establish the sovereignty it had claimed over them. On 5 April, the British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force before making an amphibious assault on the islands. The conflict lasted 74 days and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, returning the islands to British control.

The Falklands Islands are the closest point to the Antarctic wall,
therefore an important area to control.

Truman Show

The Truman Show is a 1998 American science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol. The film stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Ed Harris and Natascha McElhone. The film chronicles the life of a man who is initially unaware that he is living in a constructed reality television show, broadcast around the clock to billions of people around the globe. Truman becomes suspicious of his perceived reality and embarks on a quest to discover the truth about his life, and the reality that he is living in a glass dome just like the Bible suggests.
