The author tries to explain different issues like eclipse, sun, magnitude of the earth etc. It’s not that the book is bad, it’s that the way it’s written that makes it bad. but graphs which makes him sound like if he is baffling, bbb to the center to hhh to aaaa and something like that which makes it impossible to un The first 3 chapters of the book were great, but the rest was just pain in the head, it literally gave me a headache, I have my AC on but my head is burning, and I’m being serious.

By positioning them at equal heights aimed at each other successively he proved over and over the Earth to be perfectly flat for miles without a single inch of curvature.more Rowbotham conducted several experiments using telescopes, spirit levels, and theodolites, special precision instruments used for measuring angles in horizontal or vertical planes. Rowbotham’s findings, beginning with his 1864 book, “Earth Not a Globe! An Experimental Inquiry into the True Figure of the Earth: Proving it a Plane, Without Axial or Orbital Motion and the Only Material World in the Universe,” caused quite a stir in the scientific community and thanks to three decades of his efforts, the shape of the Earth became a hot topic of debate around the turn of the 19th century. Samuel Rowbotham, a flat Earth renaissance began sweeping the world. Thanks to the experiments, books, and lectures of an English inventor and author named Dr. Rowbotham’s findings, beginning with his 1864 book, “Earth Not a Globe! An Experimental Inquiry into the True Figure of the Earth: Proving it a Plane, Without Axial or Orbital Motion and the Only Material World in the Universe,” caused quite a stir in t This is the book that started the 19th century resurgence of the Flat Earth movement. This is the book that started the 19th century resurgence of the Flat Earth movement. framing a theory and trying to find data to fit the theory, which seems to be how the heliocentric point of view came into fashion.more I do appreciate Rowbotham's method of inquiry, which is to assume nothing and start with what can be observed. And, believe it or not, some of them are quite persuasive.Īt this point, I haven't made up my mind either way I have many questions for both points of view (heliocentric vs.
But being open minded and interested in just about everything, I wanted to hear the arguments for a flat earth. Obviously, those living in 1865 would have had less information to use to come to their conclusions. Of the two books I purchased, I decided to read this one first since it was published in 1865. So I read the website and then I bought a couple of books to pursue the subject further. This was not something I had ever considered or had reason to consider before. The website he linked to had a collection of various arguments that the earth is flat. Obviously, those living in 1865 would have had less information to use to come to their c One day my friend texted me with a link he wanted me to read.
