Spherical

Wind resistance will alter the shape of any semi-liquid form being pulled by gravity.
Im sure nothing is actually spherical being dropped inside the atmosphere. Probably more oval.

....ok lets argue some of your "facts".....

If the Earth was rotating fast enough to complete 360 degrees every 24 hours, the atmosphere would long ago have been hurtled away.

If an object were dropped from the tip of the atmosphere, it would hit the ground within...lets say...a half hour.

60mi thick atmosphere
120mph terminal velocity

That means earth would basically have to rotate 360 degrees within 30 minutes for its centrifugal force to become stronger than gravity and "hurtle away" its own atmosphere.

Earths gravity = Centripetal Force....Is greater than....Earths rotation = Centrifugal Force

Earth Centrifugal Force is already extremely weak. Then take into consideration, your talking about its affects on the atmosphere (highly energetic gaseous molecules) which is rotating with earth due to viscous drag. Then take into account the mass of gaseous molecules is extremely small.

What you end up with are incorrect assumptions and calculations by Dr. Shaban

the angular velocity becomes greater at higher altitude

angular velocity is based on angular momentum which is based on....mass

the higher the atmosphere altitude the thinner is gets which means it has less mass...which reduces the angular velocity.

So at 500 km (about 311 miles above sea level) the pressure of the atmosphere (gas) would be greater than at sea level....The greatest pressure is at the farthest point from the center of the rotating body or part.

Unless that rotating body (atmosphere) is extremely light, exerting very little centrifugal force. Not to mention the higher the altitude, is the less amount of atmosphere above it, which reduces the pressure due to less atmospheric weight above it.

Heavier elements and molecules would be driven outward. That means there would be relatively more oxygen than hydrogen at high altitudes

No. Gravity is stronger than the centrifugal force. Gravity wins.
Oxygen is heavier and naturally settles lower.
Throw a water balloon onto a pile of empty balloons. The heavy one sinks.

Since we know that actual atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude instead, the Earth cannot be rotating and have the atmosphere we know.

Earth does rotate. Gravity produces a centripetal force which counteracts earths rotational centrifugal force. Its all relative to everything within the earth which makes its interaction hard to measure, even more so for gas particles which practically have no mass.

The atmosphere does rotate with the earth at the same speed due to viscous drag.
The atmosphere is a gas, which means it does not react to angular velocity, gravity, or centrifugal forces to the same degree as solid mass (like us, or centrifugal pumps) does.

"attraction of cohesion" (not "attraction of gravitation "), which is verylimited in its operation.
Its action is confined to small quantities of matter

Scale is relative. Larger scale would require more time to attract and cohere.
Larger molten shots, need to be dropped higher. Tropical storms rain too much water from too short a distance. ECT...

Earth...had millions of years to complete the semi-liquid cohesion.

Well, first of all, you have to understand what you are talking about when you use exotic words like "gravity" is. Do you really think you have at least slightest idea of what gravity really represents and/or how it really works?

Well, maybe you should read this before you answer:

Take the Earth, for instance. Classical physics sees the force of gravity as some type of almost magical attractive force between stars and planets. Ether theory has a totally different view. The reason we fall back to the Earth when we jump up is not this mystical force of gravity, but rather it is because the Earth is constantly absorbing a tremendous amount of ether to keep all of its elementary particles spinning. We are just in the way of this influx. This view explains what gravity is, and also explains Tesla’s seemingly odd statement that the sun is absorbing more energy than it is radiating. The more you think about it, the more this seemingly nutty idea makes perfect sense. The sun requires a gargantuan amount of etheric energy to keep its integrity.

Once it is realised that electrons spin at speeds in excess of the speed of light, a new paradigm is born. The idea simply is that the elementary particles, by their nature, are absorbing ether all the time. This influx is what gravity is. As ether is absorbed two things happen. (1) The process enables the elementary particles to maintain their spin, and (2) Simultaneously, this etheric energy, probably stemming from what some physicists call the zero point energy realm, which is a vast reservoir of untapped energy, is transformed into electromagnetic energy. That is Grand Unification, Einstein’s dream of how to combine gravity with electromagnetism. Read more: http://www.energeticforum.com/renewa...-mc-2-a-8.html

But even if you were right, your inescapable position would still be situated between these two equally lethal positions:

1. If the atmosphere moves along with the spinning Earth (which is obviously your assumption) then you have to plausibly explain away this issue:

If the Earth was rotating as we are told (i.e., from west to east in direction), an airplane would have to travel much faster to fly from Los Angeles to Miami than from Miami to Los Angeles. And the required speed to fly west-to-east at cities close to the equator would be much greater than speed needed to go from, say, Toronto to Moscow (since the Earth’s speed of rotation closer to the North Pole would be less than farther to the south).

2. On the other hand, if the atmosphere doesn't move along with the spinning Earth or if it's properties were of a such kind that there would be no atmospheric resistance (in the air) for flying objects then you have to be able to explain away this issue:

The earth is not rotating - spinning.

and this:

THE EARTH NO AXIAL OR ORBITAL MOTION.

What happens when you get to the edge?

You have to come back if you want to stay alive.

Why has no one ever seen the edge?

Who told you that? Guys from NASA? Well, read this:

Finally, it has been disclosed by insiders within the space program, N.A.S.A., of a “certain complication”. It was found that when far outside the Earth’s field of influence the stars and sun are NOT VISIBLE! However, the Earth and the Moon are plainly visible. No direct light in outer space, only that made visible by gross physical matter. This gives rise to an important question, does the “light” from the sun propagate with a velocity at all, or is it simply a function of time. The “time delay” may be no more than a hysteresis of the luminiferous aether. Read more: http://www.energeticforum.com/254554-post297.html

Do not skip this: Eric Dollard: THE SUN IS TRANSFORMING FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION #1

In above post you have the answers to you third question too...

What the fictitious “aberration of starlight” de facto shows is the parallax Bradley and Molyneux were searching. But it is a geocentric and not a heliocentric one. Our telescopes actually follow the stars in their courses, all of them depending on, and concordant with that of the sun orbiting the earth. Which sun is at the heart of the stellatum, very slowly precessing around that Great Light.

It is this geocentric parallax which allows us to defend and promote a comparatively small universe, dismissing an aberration of starlight which does not exist (see Figure 2). Of triangle S-Earth-M the angle at earth is 41 seconds of arc, and SM = 108 km. By means of triangulation the distance Earth-Star, that is the radius of the Stellatum, can be calculated. It turns out that, on the average, the light of the stars needs 58 days to reach us.

All the foregoing, I realize, the reader will not be inclined to accept or take seriously. The only thing I can do is to reinforce the truth of it with the help of yet another indirect demonstration. It shows how it makes no sense to be a Copernican and at the same time to adduce the 30 km/sec orbital velocity of the earth in explaining the stars' “aberration.”

If we accept the Copernican viewpoint and its unavoidable extrapolations with regard to the structure of the universe, we have to accept the consequences. Then we cannot hold on to the picture of a simple sun- centered cosmos, of which not even Newton was fully convinced, but which Bradley and Molyneux took for granted. Read more: Airy's Failure Reconsidered

One can reconstruct the origin of these numbers by doing a little geometry, starting from a flat earth hypothesis. Remember the experiment of Eratosthenes, who measured the angular elevation of the sun at two latitudes in Egypt? He assumed that the sun was effectively infinitely far away (or at least so far compared to the earth's size that the actual distance didn't matter). Then he calculated the diameter of the earth using a second assumption: that the earth was spherical.

But suppose you abandon Eratosthenes' two assumptions, and adopt instead the assumption that the earth is flat. Then, triangulation from the same data gives the distance to the sun: 3000 miles! See how a simple change of assumptions can drastically alter the entire cosmos? However, the round earth was more than an arbitary assumption for Eratosthenes, for he and his contemporaries, had other very good reasons for knowing the earth was round. [Textbooks sometimes mislead by suggesting that his experiment was designed to prove the earth was a sphere. It was not, it was only intended to measure the size of the sphere.]

Al, what do you see in next photo:



Let me help you with this little clue: It is about "dipping needle" and my graphic interpretation of needle acting (decreasing/increasing needle angle at different degrees of latitudes) on supposed rotund Earth. Compare it with the diagram (fig. 87.) and related description in the first-opening post of this thread.

[cikljamas]

One more example of round-earther's inconsistency

DEFLECTION OF FALLING BODIES.

"The falling of bodies from high places is a further proof of the daily rotation of the earth. By this motion everything upon the earth describes a circle, which is larger in proportion as the object is raised above the surface; and as everything moves round in the same time, the greater the elevation of the object, the faster it will travel; so that the top of a house or hill moves faster than its base. It is found then that when a body descends from a high place, say a few hundred feet, it does not fall exactly beneath the spot it left, but a little to the east .of it. This could not happen unless the earth had a motion from west to east. Were the earth stationary the body would fall immediately under the place it left."

The above "argument" for the earth's daily motion ought to be anything but satisfactory, even to its propounders; because it is the reverse of another "argument"--advanced for the same purpose, see page 63; it is not supported by uniform experimental results; the greatest amount of deflection which has ever been observed is a mere trifle compared with that which ought to be found according to the theory of rotation; and, lastly, because special experiment gives evidence directly against the supposition of diurnal motion.

WHAT IS ON PAGE 63:

IF a ball is allowed to drop from the mast-head of a ship at rest, it will strike the deck at the foot of the mast. If the same experiment is tried with a ship in motion, the same result will follow; because, in the latter case, the ball is acted upon simultaneously by two forces at right angles to each other--one, the momentum given to it by the moving ship in the direction of its own motion; and the other, the force of gravity, the direction of which is at right angles to that of the momentum. The ball being acted upon by the two forces together, will not go in the direction of either, but will take a diagonal course, as shown in the following diagram, fig. 46.

It is argued by those who hold that the earth is a revolving globe, that if a ball is dropped from the mouth of a deep mine, it reaches the bottom in an apparently vertical direction, the same as it would if the earth were motionless. In the same way, and from the same cause, it is said that a ball allowed to drop from the top of a tower, will fall at the base. Admitting the fact that a ball dropped down a mine, or let fall from a high tower, reaches the bottom in a direction parallel to the side of either, it does not follow therefrom that the earth moves. It only follows that the earth might move, and yet allow of such a result. It is certain that such a result would occur on a stationary earth; and it is mathematically demonstrable that it would also occur on a revolving earth; but the question of motion or non-motion--of which is the fact it does not decide. It gives no proof that the ball falls in a vertical or in a diagonal direction. Hence, it is logically valueless. Page 63: Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not A Globe: Chapter III. The Earth No Axial or Orbital Motion

It has been argued already (see above quote from the page 63) that a body let fall down a coal pit, or from a high tower, does not deflect, but falls parallel to the side of the pit or tower, on account of the conjoint action of the earth's centrifugal force, and the force of gravity. It is said that at the moment it is liberated, and begins to fall by gravity, it receives an impulse at right angles to gravity, and therefore really falls in a diagonal direction. Thus what is affirmed in one place is contradicted in another! Inconsistency is ever the companion of falsehood. Again, when experiments have been tried, it has been found that a body has sometimes been out of the vertical a little to the east, sometimes to the west and north and south, and sometimes not at all. The amount, when it has been observed, has been very small, very far less than it ought to have been if it had resulted from the earth's rotation.

Thus it is admitted that deflection from a height of 300 feet "is so small as to be practically inappreciable;" that "great heights are necessary for giving only a deviation of one-tenth part of an inch;" that when this amount was observed, "at the same time deviation to the south was given, which was not in accordance with the mathematical calculations;" that "the experiments have considerable discrepancies among themselves;" that "the experiments differed very much;" that "after all there can be no doubt that our knowledge on this subject is imperfect;" that on repeating the experiments with the utmost possible care down a shaft of 1320 feet in depth, the bullets did not fall easterly at all from the plummets, "but from 10 to 20 inches south of the plumb-line," and out of forty-eight bullets, forty-four fell "on the south side of the shaft, in situations which precluded exact measurements of the distances being taken;" and, finally, that puzzled mathematicians, with their ever ready ingenuity to make facts agree with the wildest of theories, even with those of a directly opposite character, conclude that "falling bodies may have either north, south, east, or west deflection from the plumb-line." What value can such uncertain and conflicting evidence possess in the minds of reasoning men? They are shameless logicians, indeed, who contend that, from such results, the earth is proved to have a diurnal rotation! Read more: Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not A Globe: Chapter XIV.

Well, it seems to me we just do not understand each other

Al, i know: perpendicular = vertical, but you didn't get the point...

If the needle is in a horizontal position (since "dipping needle" instrument is kind of a vertical compass) it means that the needle is in a perpendicular or vertical position on it's axis (on it's vertical line).

Since the needle is in a horizontal position in "dipping needle" instrument while we are on the equator it seems that the needle points to sky (see figure 87. in the first post), and not towards north magnetic pole.

In my diagram you can see where (at what latitude) we should expect needle to be in a horizontal position (perpendicular to the vertical line of a "dipping needle" instrument). Somewhere in north Canada or north Sweden or north Russia, but not on the equator (as it is in reality).

In addition, on a globe acting of a "dipping needle" instrument would be in chaotic manner (increasing-decreasing-increasing etc...), but on the flat Earth we would expect linear-gradual-steady-continuous decreasing of the angle (of the needle) as we go away farther from north magnetic pole to south, and vice versa. And that is exactly how dipping needle instrument works. So, where are we? On a globe, or on a plane surface of the Earth?

ARCS OF THE MERIDIAN.

The discrepancies and anomalies so often observed in pendulum experiments, have led the followers of Newton to seek the desired evidence in measurements of arcs of the meridian; but here again they are even more unfortunate than in their efforts with the pendulum. It is certain that the question when attempted to be answered by such measurements, is less satisfactory than was expected, and in many respects the results are contradictory.

How strange it appears, that one of the most ingenious mathematicians the world ever produced, assumed for certain purposes that the earth was a globe, that it revolved, that its revolutions caused the fluid and plastic matter of its substance to determine towards the equator--causing it to "bulge out" to a greater extent than the diameter in the direction of the axis, and therefore the circumference at the equator must be greater than the circumference at right angles, or in the direction of latitude; or, in other words, that the degrees of latitude must diminish towards the poles, and yet "men of the greatest skill," with "instruments of the most perfect construction," having availed themselves of "all that science can do," have succeeded in making measurements the most exact "ever made on the face of the earth," have found results the very reverse of all that the Newtonian theory deemed essential to its consistency and perfection! Instead of the degrees diminishing towards the pole they were found to increase; as if the earth were egg-shaped or prolonged through its axis, and not, like an orange, flattened at the sides--"as if;" to use more scientific language, "the earth were an oblong instead of an oblate spheroid."



The fallacy involved in all the attempts to prove the oblate spheroidal form of the earth, is, that the earth is first assumed to be a globe, the celestial surface above it to be concave, and the plumb-lines to be radii. If this were the true condition of things, then all the degrees of latitude would be the same in length; and if the earth were really "flattened at the poles," the degrees would certainly shorten in going from the equator towards the north. If, however, the celestial surface is not concave, but horizontal, two plumb-lines suspended north and south of each other would be parallel, and would indicate equal length in all the degrees of latitude, thereby spewing the earth to be parallel with the celestial surface, and therefore a plane. The differences required by a globe are not found in practice, but such as a plane would produce are invariably found. Hence the failure of geodesy becomes evidence against rotundity, but demonstrating that the earth is parallel to the horizontal heavens, and therefore of mathematical and logical necessity A PLANE. It is ever the case, when falsehood is tested in the crucible of experiment, that its value is diminished or destroyed, whilst the contrary is the case with truth, which, like gold, the more intense the fire of criticism the more brilliant it appears.

2. The True History and Purpose of NASA

3. ADMIRAL BIRD - OPERATION HIGH-JUMP:

„The fourth culminating expedition, Operation Highjump, was the largest Antarctic expedition to date. In 1946, US Navy Secretary James Forrestal assembled a huge amphibious naval force for an Antarctic Expedition expected to last six to eight months. Besides the flagship Mount Olympus and the aircraft carrier Philippine Sea, there were thirteen US Navy support ships, six helicopters, six flying boats, two seaplane tenders and fifteen other aircraft. The total number of personnel involved was over 4,000. The armada arrived in the Ross Sea on December 31, 1946, and made aerial explorations of an area half the size of the United States, recording ten new mountain ranges. The major area covered was the eastern coastline of Antarctica from 150 degrees east to the Greenwich meridian. The expedition was terminated abruptly at the end of February 1947, six months early, the entire remaining armada returning immediately to the United States. The only explanation ever given for the early termination of the mission was provided in an interview granted to Lee van Atta of International News Services aboard the support shipMount Olympus on the high seas and published in the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio on Wednesday 5 March 1947. The following extracts show the abstract manner in which the admiral was thinking and may explain why conspiracy theorists specializing in alleged Aryan or Nazi activities in Antarctica have speculated extensively about this mission: “Admiral Richard E Byrd warned today of the necessity for the United States to adopt protective measures against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile aircraft proceeding from the polar regions. The admiral said: “I do not want to scare anybody but the bitter reality is that in the event of a new war the United States will be attacked by aircraft flying in from over one or both poles.” On the subject of the recently terminated expedition, Byrd said that “the most important of the observations and discoveries made was the of the present potential situation as it relates to the security of the United States…I can do no more than warn my countrymen very forcibly that the time has passed when we could take refuge in complete isolation and rest in confidence in the guarantee of security which distance, the oceans and the poles provide. The admiral warned of the necessity to “remain in a state of alert and watchfulness”. He said that he “realized perhaps better than any other person the significance of the scientific discoveries made in these explorations because I can make comparisons” (i.e. between now and when he was in Antarctica pre-war). We are abandoning the region after making important geographical discoveries.”

So, "hallow earth" hoax theory has been invented with the purpose of covering up the truth that there is no South Pole whatsoever?

Admiral Byrd was an active Freemason. He became a member of Federal Lodge No. 1, Washington, D.C. on March 19, 1921 and affiliated with Kane Lodge No. 454, New York City, September 18, 1928. He was a member of National Sojourners Chapter No. 3 at Washington. He and his pilot, Bernt Balchen dropped Masonic flags on the two poles—Balchen also added his Shrine fez. In the Antarctic expedition of 1933-35, 60 of the 82 members were Freemasons and on February 5, 1935 established First Antarctic Lodge No. 777 of New Zealand constitution.
