We live in a world consisting of information fields, this is obvious and understandable to anyone who has ever thought about the real secrets of the universe. And, based on the latest scientific data, we can safely say that those facts that were previously considered prejudices have a real basis. One such fact is that photography steals the soul. Of course, not all, but it leaves traces, which is easily diagnosed by scientific instruments.

Yes? Why is this discovery not widely known?

Here we turn to the problem for which the movement For Sovereign Science was created, the problem that official science has hidden real knowledge for many centuries. Scientists have long turned into a sect that functions only to create a smokescreen that allows people to be manipulated.
One of the most mysterious videos about Flat Earth:

What is it expressed in?
Look, what is the essence of so-called scientific knowledge? In presenting a person as a conditional soulless grain of sand in the infinity of the boundless cosmos, literally hammering into his head the idea that he is a lonely loner, worthless to anyone, standing in the face of emptiness. The endless proof of this is the essence of modern so-called science, which has come to us from the West. Behind this veil, true knowledge is lost, and this loss is intentional.

And what is it, true knowledge, is, and where to look for it?

I will answer first the second part of the question, you need to look in Russia. And in order to answer the first part, it is necessary to delve into history and understand when the phenomenon that is commonly called official science began to develop in our country.

From Peter the Great, more precisely from that agent of the West who pretended to be him. Today, all historians who have not fully joined the sect of scientists know that during Peter's trip to Germany, the true autocrat with a great spirit, the Masons replaced a completely different person with their protege in Russia. And it was this man who began to plant the so-called sciences in Russia, trying to completely knock out real knowledge from people, which then still remained. The process of transformation of highly spiritual Personalities into rootless cosmopolitan individualists began. And the instrument of this transformation is science. Full, incidentally, the most obvious contradictions.

Which ones?

Wait. First you need to decide where exactly the true knowledge remains. It was at that time that true science was divided into a profane part, which today we call science, and real knowledge, which became the lot of the elect in Europe, Masons became such elect, and distant monasteries in Rus'. By the way, it was for this reason that they were persecuted. Any true knowledge is based on spirituality and sacred books, and pseudo-knowledge, that is, science, on cheap inventions. The insidiousness of the West is that with the help of science they managed to swindle the whole world to hide true knowledge behind a special veil of science.

Let's get back to the contradictions you promised to talk about.

No problem. Let's at least analyze the theory that says that the Earth is a ball that revolves around the Sun. Even here, obvious contradictions are not noticed!

A recent sociological survey showed that almost 40% of the Russian population is confident in the correct biblical version of the Sun revolves around the Earth.

Doesn't the Earth revolve around the Sun?

Thank God no! And now, when Russia is experiencing a spiritual revival, even official scientists and ordinary people have finally recognized this! For example, a recent sociological survey showed that almost 40% of the Russian population is confident in the correct biblical version of the Sun revolves around the Earth. There is a positive trend every year, the percentage of those who know the truth is increasing!

The whole truth in the VIDEO:

But everyone remembers arithmetic and supposedly basic physics! And this is enough to know the truth!

Imagine the situation, the plane takes off from Europe to Japan 11 thousand kilometers, and arrives at its destination in 10 hours. As we all remember from the school course, the length of the Earth's equator is 40 thousand kilometers. If the Earth rotated around its own axis in a day, as official science says, then in an hour it would turn 1666 kilometers. It is so? And now think for yourself how fast an airplane must fly 10 thousand kilometers in order to fly this distance in 10 hours against the movement of the supposedly round and supposedly rotating Earth! Over 2700 kilometers per hour! With a normal speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, the plane would fly in the opposite direction and never fly anywhere! The same thing about the return flight for him, the plane did not have to fly anywhere at all, only to rise into the air and wait, let's divide 10 thousand by one thousand six hundred and 6 hours!

But what about pictures of the Earth from space?

From what, my dear, space? Where is the evidence that the cosmos exists at all? Everyone knows that no one has ever been in space!

But what about Gagarin and the Americans on the moon?

Gagarin was allegedly in orbit, not in space, and the Americans, as everyone knows, filmed their entire moon in the Nevada desert. This is all the same continuation of the conspiracy of the damned sorcerers-scientists! As a result, we are forced to admit that even official physics and mathematics, with common sense, clearly show that the Earth simply cannot be round! Here is one of the brightest contradictions!

That is, you are saying that mathematics and physics cannot even explain that the Earth is round?

This is pseudoscience! And what can pseudoscience prove in general?

The banal Pythagorean theorem immediately comes to mind.

Do you know why Pythagoras was killed?

For his true knowledge! He collected mysteries all over the world that remained from the previous great spiritual civilization of Hyperborea, which was destroyed by the Great Flood, but traces of the ancestral home of which still remained everywhere on the territory of Russia! Fortunately, Atlantis was still alive then, and present-day Antarctica was a flourishing land. From there, Pythagoras brought real knowledge. And, by the way, he did not age and was Rus, that is, Russian. But his own students, persuaded by the Masons, killed him. As a result, everyone now remembers Pythagoras only by the profane interpretation of his deep knowledge, which is now called the theorem of his name!

But the theorem works and has been proven many times.

In my youth, I repeated the discovery of Pythagoras, independently proving a similar theorem, but it does not work! And the Russian proved it. His name, if you don't remember, was Lobachevsky!

If so, then it turns out that mathematics and physics are not needed at all?

Exactly! To fill your head with Masonic teachings is not befitting true seekers of knowledge! Our task now is to restore, bit by bit, that spiritual knowledge, which should become the basis of real science. They still remained in distant sketes, at base 211, which, by the way, Masons are still trying to find, in the greatest spirituality of our people. It is not too late to create a true science, and on the basis of it a new highly spiritual civilization.
To do this, it is already necessary to tear out all pseudo-science at the root and, throwing back the veil, plunge into the halls of real knowledge, proving that we are not empty grains of sand in an endless void, but great Warriors of the Spirit! This is the main content of sovereign science, for the possibility of the development of which we are fighting with the world behind the scenes.

If we leave the process of struggle alone for a while, then where should we start?

True scientists who seek knowledge are now under tremendous pressure. It is necessary to remove this pressure, which is created by scientists. Then all true forces must unite and develop a common theory that would explain all the secrets of the universe.

Is this possible?

Certainly! Moreover, it already exists! And it's called spirituality! The problem is that pseudo-science is built on the fact that it constantly replaces the cause with the effect. Now we need to break this vicious circle. It is time to understand that it is not knowledge that leads to discovery, but revelation must be explained by knowledge. Only this way can be effective.

Do I understand correctly, but you are talking about the same thing that we often write about the role of science as a means of justification. True, we are talking about the rationale for the actions of the authorities.

Yes! And the authorities, including, because it is a supra-mundane essence. And the actions of any supramundane entity require substantiation by knowledge. This is the task of true sovereign science.

And how is the introduction of such extravagant ideas going?

The ideas are correct, and not at all extra, why use such words at all, are there not enough Russian words?

Okay, independent.

Progress is good, there is support, albeit tacit, and at the very top. Recently, for example, the director of the Kurchatov Institute said that Russia needs an integrated science that will find simple explanations for everything.

Is there any merit in this statement?

Thoughts are material, the information field permeates everything that exists. Therefore, of course, I consider such a breakthrough to be my merit. By pumping the egregor of true knowledge, we influence the essence of things and other people. So far, the movement sees its main task in this.

The same as everywhere to fight the obscurantism of official science and spread true knowledge.

Now, praise the universe, it's getting bigger and bigger. Look at least on TV, there are more and more truly scientific programs. This means that the people are beginning to wake up from spiritual hibernation and begin to understand the world differently than the official scholars of the West want to see. This means we will win!

For some reason, modern passenger planes do not fly in a straight line, but make huge circles. This is especially noticeable in the Southern Hemisphere: for example, planes flying from Australia to Chile never fly over the South Pole, although this is the shortest way. Or planes flying from Perth, Australia to Johannesburg (South Africa), for some reason make a flight through Dubai, although they have no reason to make such a strange zigzag. Why do airlines spend millions of dollars on gas and travel costs when all routes can be built much more economically?

There is only one answer: in reality, planes fly in the most straight line - it’s just that the Earth is not actually round, but flat, and the maps and globes that we were taught to use were made by liars in order to deceive people. “And about the flights, too, the question has been occupied for a long time. Whoever I asked, no one could answer. Well, in general, watch this wonderful video, there is a lot of interesting things, and everything is clear, ”wrote Vetlitskaya (author’s spelling saved). The conspiracy, which involves politicians, scientists, and figures in the education system, has been going on for more than a century, although it costs nothing to discover the truth. The next time you fly on an airplane, do not be lazy, study the horizon line through the window. You will find that it is absolutely flat, without any difficulty, just like on the ground. But with the help of a good telescope, “curvature” could be seen even being on the surface of the Earth: for every 100 km of the earth’s surface, there should be 196 meters of curvature, the authors of another video on the same topic say.

Are we lying? According to the singer, performer of the songs “Look into my eyes” and “Playboy next to me”, she had long suspected a conspiracy, and the video recorded by an unknown YouTube user finally allowed her to dot all the i. “And yes, this video is not recommended for skeptics and fans of officially permitted concepts to watch in order to preserve their fragile nervous system,” the singer warns.

shaped lie

Nothing is new on our Earth, and this is true regardless of its form. The ancients did not doubt that our planet is a disk, but "scientifically substantiated" this theory in the 19th century. The Flat Earth Society was formed in 1956 in the United States. Despite the fact that the society flourished in the 1980s, when 3,000 people were in its ranks, it still exists today.

According to the basic principles that society believes in, cosmology looks like this: the Earth is a flat disk with a diameter of 40,000 km. Why exactly 40,000? Because this is the length of any two meridians in geography textbooks. In fact, there are no meridians, since meridians are lines on the surface of the spherical Earth, and the Earth, as we already know, is a flat disk. Therefore, meridians are not lines from pole to pole, but simply the radii of the Earth. And two radii, as we know from textbooks on another subject more applicable to our planet - geometry, this is the diameter. In the center of the flat circle is the North Pole. Where is the South? And there is no South, instead of it there is a border of the disk. What we used to think of as Antarctica is a long wall of ice encircling the entire Earth. How is it "can't be"? But what, has any of you been to the South Pole and seen it with your own eyes? I personally don't. And those travelers who visited there did not see anything special. Who said it's a pole? They were simply deceived by those involved in the conspiracy.

Where does gravity come from? - the reader will resort to a tried and tested argument. It's simple: the Earth is constantly soaring upward with an acceleration of 9.8 m / s², and this is what creates a constant "gravity". The Moon and the Sun, of course, revolve above the surface of the Earth, and the star vault itself circles over our planet. What about pictures of Earth from space? And these are fakes. What about flights to other planets? But no one flew anywhere, and no one will fly, because there is nowhere to fly. Above our planet is a flat dome in which waters condense, rains pour from there, and excess water overflows over the edges into the world ether. But if you check - get on a plane and fly to the pole? But you won’t fly anywhere: the plane will fall into the air and be lost forever. Have you heard about the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370? That's it: the pilot started the plane in the wrong direction.

"Everything is drank"

These scientists are an ungrateful people: instead of rejoicing that the authors of the YouTube video have finally painted a consistent picture of the universe, they find fault with trifles. For example, they ask, how could a disk-shaped planetary body appear in the Universe? The laws of gravity are such that any large planet, no matter what shape it may have initially, sooner or later, under the influence of its own mass, will turn into an ellipsoid close to a ball. Only small bodies like the satellites of Mars - Phobos and Deimos - can "afford" the shape of irregular cobblestones: for a planet like ours, there is no material in nature from which a stable disk could be made, in any case it will doubt and begin to resemble on the ball.

Ridiculously they try to refute it by referring to the school experience with recording the movement of the starry sky on a fixed photographic plate with a long exposure. It clearly shows that the entire starry sky moves around the North Star. But if the same record is recorded in the Southern Hemisphere, there will be no Polar Star there, and the sky will rotate around a conditional point not far from a tiny star - Sigma Octant. As if someone has the opportunity to fly to the icy wall surrounding our disk, and with the danger of falling over the edge, into the ether with stiff fingers will install a camera there!

They remind you that in order to make sure that a kilometer all over the Earth has a total length, Muscovites are advised to fly to Milan with a meter ruler and compare it with rulers there - the difference in length should be noticeable even between such geographical points. For them, 10 km is not a distance, but here some millimeters should not converge. They are outright lying when they say that airplanes avoid direct flights because they try to fly over land, not sea, for safe navigation.

Meanwhile, true science does not stand still: in her next post, Vetlitskaya revealed the ins and outs of the web of lies in which the world government keeps us. “In this space called Earth, everything has been sawn down for a long time and all the rules have been established” by a small bunch of creatures, “and everyone else is supposed to shut up and only follow the given commands, in general, a strict police regime.” And even later, a new revelation followed from Vetlitskaya, this time about the number of dimensions in our Universe. “In the 3-dimensional world, nothing will get better, don’t even hope,” the singer said in the next status. “Either you rise to a higher level of consciousness, or ... Choose for yourself.” Indeed, choose for yourself which level of consciousness to rise to. I personally go out on the first one, where Copernicus is with Galileo.

In ancient times, the theory of a flat Earth was widespread and people had no other versions. It was believed that it was held by three elephants standing on a turtle. After a while, science was able to prove the falsity of these ideas, but there were people who believe that the planet does not have a spherical shape.

The flat earth theory today

There are ideas that the planet is actually a disk, in the center of which is the North Pole. The diameter of the Earth is a little more than 40 thousand km. Around such a disk there is a transparent dome, over which the Sun and the Moon rotate, like spotlights. According to adherents of the theory of a flat Earth, Antarctica does not exist and at the south pole is the edge of the planet, which is surrounded by an ice wall.

There is a whole community and it includes people who believe in a worldwide deception. Answering the question of whether it is true that the Earth is flat, they claim that all pictures from space are editing and photoshop abilities. Adherents of this opinion believe in a conspiracy sponsored by the Masons, aimed at hiding the real truth from all mankind on the planet. This debate has been going on for hundreds of years.

flat earth sign

Every society has its own emblem, and the flat earthers are no exception. They think the UN flag is perfect for bringing them together: on a blue background is a round image of a map of the world, with the North Pole in the center. The flat earth emblem is surrounded by two olive branches, which have symbolized peace since ancient Greece.

What is beyond the edge of the flat earth?

People, hearing about an unusual theory, begin to ask a lot of questions to understand whether it is true or not. Many are interested in, if the Earth is flat, then where is its edge, and what is beyond it. Society gives two answers to this:

1. Some members are sure that the region is beyond Antarctica and is limited by a huge ice wall. It is worth noting that it is not specified what is behind it, whether there is space and other planets. As evidence, the Flat Earth Society offers to read the Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits the free exploration of these places, which is very suspicious.
2. Other members of society believe that not only is the Earth actually flat, but it also has no edge, that is, people live on an endless plain. There is a certain zone beyond which a person cannot go, and this is most likely due to the environment.

Who needs a flat earth myth?

Many have asked this question, as attempts to compromise science arise from time to time in the world. Most likely, people would not pay attention to such statements, if not extensive propaganda. Finding out who benefits from the theory of a flat Earth, it is worth noting that as a result of scientific and technical progress, people begin to think differently and it becomes increasingly difficult for the authorities to control them. It is important to point out that this does not concern the rulers of states, but the level of power and ideas.

Why do people believe the earth is flat?

You can think about this topic for a long time and there are a huge number of opinions. Scientists and great minds believe that modern people who believe that the planet Earth is flat love to go against the current, looking for a catch and opposition in every statement. Many are sure that there is a certain group of people, the so-called "Masons", who control everything, and they can promote any idea into the world, including that the earth is round. All this raises doubts in modern society.

How to join a flat earth society?

The English inventor Samuel Rowbotham in the 19th century created a whole community for adherents of the theory of a flat earth. Every person can become a member. To do this, you must pay an entry fee of $10. The society will then send out its own newsletter on a regular basis. There are several main provisions of this organization:

1. The center of the Earth is located at the North Pole, and the edges are in the south.
2. The Flat Earth Society claims that all existing evidence of the sphericity of the planet, including astronaut flights, is just an international conspiracy by America and Russia to deceive people.
3. They believe that the stars are stuck to the firmament, which is located at an altitude equal to the distance from San Francisco to Boston.
4. The Moon and the Sun are not huge, and the Earth's satellite shines with its own light, and not reflected. Eclipses are caused by an obstruction by some dark object.
5. The Flat Earth Society claims that all great people were adherents of their theory, but simply covered it up.
6. It is believed that the belief in sphericity is a false religion.

Flat Earth Theory - Real Facts

Before putting forward the theory that the earth does not have a spherical shape, its adherents did a lot of research, examined a huge amount of photo and video material in order to have something to operate on. The main facts why the Earth is flat include the following information:

1. Knowing the time of rotation of the planet around its axis and its diameter, you can easily calculate the speed of its rotation. As a result, it turns out that in a second the Earth rotates at a speed of about 0.5 km / s. Wouldn't a person notice such changes?
2. Air travel is one of the most common proofs. The theory of a flat Earth raises such doubts - how can an airplane land on a specified place if it is displaced due to the movement of the planet? In addition, due to the constant rotation of the earth, the planes would not be able to reach their destination due to the headwind.
3. If you throw an object up, then it will take several seconds for it to fly and fall, so if the Earth were round and rotated, then it would not fall in the same place where it was thrown.
4. If the planet had the shape of a sphere, then the horizon would be curved, but in any conditions and when observing vast spaces, the line is always straight.

What do psychics say about a flat earth?

To determine where is the truth and where is the lie, it is worth considering different opinions, therefore, psychics, who, in their opinion, know all the secrets, cannot be dispensed with. The version that the Earth is flat, for people working with energies, is a fiction created in order to arouse doubts in people and gather them into a certain sect. Psychics who receive energy, including from the Earth, are sure that it is round, if this was a myth, then the energy flows would be scattered and not so powerful.

Flat Earth in the Bible

People who read the Bible can be divided into two groups, as some believe that it says that the earth is flat, while others assure that this is nothing more than a common misconception. Although there are many scientific facts in this holy book, information about which was not available at the time of writing the book, specifically about the flat earth, it does not say. Those who believe that the Bible says that the Earth is flat, cite the word from it - "hug" as an argument, but in Hebrew it means both "circle" and "ball".

Another refuting fact concerns the fact that the holy book states that the Earth has no point of support, and this is one of the ideas of people who came up with the legend of a flat planet. The Bible does not focus on the shape of the Earth, so it is not advisable to take this as truth. In addition, even in modern language, the word "round Earth" is used, and not spherical or spherical. The language of the Bible is not sharpened by geometric concepts.

Flat earth in the Quran

As for the main Muslim book, it uses more words that can be considered confirmation that the Earth is flat. The text contains such words and expressions related to our planet: “spread”, “made the earth a plain”, “made the earth a carpet for you”, and so on. The flat earth in Islam is confirmed by theologians, and the sky, according to them, rests on several pillars.

Flat Earth Movies

There are no films based on the theme of the flat Earth, but there are a number of films that mention this.

1. "The Truman Show". The hero of the picture one day begins to understand that everything around is a deception and scenery. He is the hero of a TV show that has been running for over 30 years.
2. "Men in Black". The film tells about a secret unofficial agency that controls the operation of UFOs. The main characters in one of the dialogues are talking about a flat earth.
3. "Dark City". The main idea of ​​this picture is that all people live in a world run by the elect, forcing them to believe in non-existent things.

Flat earth books

Literature has not disregarded the topic concerning the shape of our planet. Many authors have been doing research for years and have presented their own reasoning and evidence in their works.

1. "Ancient Cosmologies" W. Warren. The book is voluminous and in it you can find information about the ideas regarding the structure of the Universe, Buddhists, Egyptians and other peoples. This edition contains many illustrations.
2. "A hundred proofs that the Earth is not a sphere" M. Carpenter. The published work was inaccessible to the general reader for a long time. The author presented, in his opinion, objective evidence of a flat Earth.
3. "Research Astronomy: The Earth is not a ball" S. Rowbotham. If you are interested in whether the earth is flat or round, then you should read this book, which describes experiments and has visual illustrations confirming that the planet is flat.

Like a flat worn coin
The planet rested on three whales.
And they burned smart scientists in bonfires -
The ones that said, "It's not about the whales."
N. Olev

Going out into the street and looking around, anyone can be convinced: the Earth is flat. There are, of course, uplands and depressions, mountains and ravines. But on the whole it is clearly visible: flat, sloping along the edges. The ancients figured this out a long time ago. They saw the caravan disappearing over the horizon. Climbing the mountain, observers noticed that the horizon was expanding. From this followed the inevitable conclusion: the surface of the Earth is a hemisphere. In Thales, the Earth floats like a piece of wood in an endless ocean.

When did these ideas change? In the 19th century, a false thesis was established, which is still being replicated today, that people considered the Earth to be flat before the great geographical discoveries.

So, in the manual for teachers “Lessons on the world around us” in 2007, it says: “For a long time, ancient people considered the Earth to be flat, lying on three whales or three elephants and covered with a dome of the sky ... They laughed at scientists who put forward a hypothesis about the spherical shape of the Earth, they persecuted the church. The navigator Christopher Columbus was the first to believe in this hypothesis... The teacher can tell the children that the first person who saw with his own eyes that the Earth is not flat was cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.”

In fact, already in the III century BC. the ancient Greek scientist Eratosthenes of Cyrene (c. 276-194 BC) not only firmly knew that the Earth is a ball, but also managed to measure the radius of the Earth, having received a value of 6311 km - with an error of no more than 1 percent!

Around 250 BC, a Greek scholar Eratosthenes first accurately measured the globe. Eratosthenes lived in Egypt in the city of Alexandria. He guessed to compare the height of the Sun (or its angular distance from a point overhead, zenith, which is called - zenith distance) at the same time in two cities - Alexandria (in northern Egypt) and Syene (now Aswan, in southern Egypt). Eratosthenes knew that on the day of the summer solstice (June 22) the Sun was at noon illuminates the bottom of deep wells. Therefore, at this time the Sun is at its zenith. But in Alexandria at this moment the Sun is not at its zenith, but is separated from it by 7.2 °.

Eratosthenes obtained this result by changing the zenith distance of the Sun with the help of his simple goniometric tool - the scaphis. This is just a vertical pole - a gnomon, fixed at the bottom of a bowl (hemisphere). The skafis is installed so that the gnomon assumes a strictly vertical position (directed to the zenith). The pole illuminated by the sun casts a shadow on the inner surface of the skafis divided into degrees.

So at noon on June 22 in Siena, the gnomon does not cast a shadow (the Sun is at its zenith, its zenith distance is 0 °), and in Alexandria, the shadow from the gnomon, as can be seen on the scale of the skafis, marked a division of 7.2 °. At the time of Eratosthenes, the distance from Alexandria to Syene was considered equal to 5000 Greek stadia (about 800 km). Knowing all this, Eratosthenes compared an arc of 7.2 ° with the entire circle of 360 ° degrees, and a distance of 5000 stadia - with the entire circumference of the globe (we denote it by the letter X) in kilometers. Then from the proportion it turned out that X = 250,000 stages, or about 40,000 km (imagine this is true!).

If you know that the circumference of a circle is 2πR, where R is the radius of the circle (and π ~ 3.14), knowing the circumference of the globe, it is easy to find its radius (R):

It is remarkable that Eratosthenes was able to measure the Earth very accurately (after all, even today it is believed that the average radius of the Earth 6371 km!).

And a hundred years before him, Aristotle (384-322 BC) gave three classical proofs of the sphericity of the Earth.

Firstly, during lunar eclipses, the edge of the shadow cast by the Earth on the Moon is always an arc of a circle, and the only body that can cast such a shadow at any position and direction of the light source is a ball.

Secondly, the ships, moving away from the observer into the sea, are not gradually lost from sight due to the long distance, but almost instantly, as it were, “sink”, disappearing below the horizon line.

And, thirdly, some stars can only be seen from certain parts of the Earth, and for other observers they are never visible.

But Aristotle was not the discoverer of the sphericity of the Earth, but only provided irrefutable evidence of a fact that was known even to Pythagoras of Samos (c. 560-480 BC). Pythagoras himself, perhaps, relied on the evidence not of a scientist, but of a simple sailor, Skilacus of Caryanda, who in 515 BC. made a description of his voyages in the Mediterranean.

But what about the church?

There was a decision to condemn the heliocentric system, approved in 1616 by Pope Paul V. But there was no persecution of supporters of the sphericity of the Earth in Christian churches. The fact that "earlier" the church represented the Earth standing on whales or elephants was invented in the 19th century.

About who said that the Earth is round, disputes do not stop today. Until now, there are such individuals who are trying to prove that the Earth is flat, even ignoring the images of the globe in photographs from space. So, the round shape of the Earth has been known since ancient times.

Who was the first to say that the earth is round?

Once upon a time, many millennia ago, people thought the Earth was flat. In the myths of different peoples, in the works of ancient scientists, it was stated that the Earth rests on three whales, on elephants and even on a huge turtle. Let's try to figure out who said that the Earth is round.

The ancient Greek scientist Parmenides, who lived around 540-480 years. BC e., in his philosophical poem "On Nature" he wrote that the Earth is round. This was a revolutionary conclusion about the shape of the planet, but it is impossible to unequivocally assume that Parmenides was the first to express this idea. The scientist wrote about the round shape of the Earth in the section “Opinions of mortals”, where he described the thoughts and ideas of his contemporaries, but not his own conclusions. Pythagoras of Samos was a contemporary of Parmenides.

Pythagoras, together with his students, was engaged in the theory of universal and cosmic harmony. It was in the records of the adherents of the Pythagorean school that many thoughts were found that the flat Earth could not be in harmony with the celestial sphere. To the question: "Who said that the Earth is round?" most likely, Pythagoras himself answered, formulating the idea of ​​the earthly sphere as the most suitable, according to the theories of geometry and mathematics.

Scientists who announced the shape of the Earth

Which scientist said that the earth is round? In addition to Parmenides and Pythagoras, there were other thinkers of antiquity who studied the Earth and space. Today, any schoolchild knows the principle of "sundial", when during the day sticks on the sand cast shadows of different lengths and at different angles. If the earth were flat, either the length of the shadows or the angle between the subject and the shadow would not change. However, in ancient times, only serious scientists paid attention to such details of being.

So, the philosopher from Alexandria Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who lived in the III-II centuries. BC e., made calculations on the day of the summer solstice, using the values ​​\u200b\u200bof the difference between the shadows from objects, the zenith and the angle between them. He even managed to calculate the approximate size of our planet and is considered the first researcher to describe the concepts of modern longitude and latitude, since in his calculations he used data from different geographical places of Alexandria and Siena.

Later, the Greek Stoic philosopher Posidonius in 135-51. BC e. also calculated the size of the globe, but they turned out to be smaller than that of Eratosthenes. So today it is quite difficult to unambiguously answer the question of who was the first to say that the Earth is round.

Aristotle on the Earth

The Greek scientist, thinker, philosopher Aristotle said that the Earth is round, back in the 4th century BC. e. He not only put forward hypotheses and made approximate calculations, but also collected evidence that the Earth is spherical.

Firstly, the scientist notices that if you look from the shore at the ship that is approaching the observer, then the mast becomes visible from behind the horizon, then the ship's hull itself. Very few people were convinced by this evidence.

Secondly, a more substantial proof of it is based on observations of lunar eclipses. As a result, Aristotle concluded that the Earth has the shape of a sphere, because the shadow from the Earth on the surface of the Moon did not change during eclipses, that is, it was always round, which only a ball gives.

Thirdly, during his trip to Egypt, Aristotle, observing the sky, described in detail the changes in the constellations and stars in the southern and northern hemispheres. He wrote: "... stars are observed in Egypt and Cyprus, which were not seen in the northern regions." Such changes can only be seen from a round surface. Moreover, the scientist concluded that the sphere of the Earth has a small size, since it is possible to establish changes in stars and terrain only from a fairly limited surface.

First star map

And who was the first to say that the Earth is round, in the East? The story of the caliph Al-Mamun, who lived in the 7th century, is unusual, to whom Aristotle once appeared in a dream with his students. The scientist showed Mamun the "image of the Earth". Based on the images he saw, Mamun reproduced the "star map", which was the first map of the Earth and planets in the Islamic world.

Mamun ordered court astronomers to measure the size of the Earth, and the circumference of the planet, which they obtained, equal to 18,000 miles, turned out to be quite accurate: the length of the earth's equator calculated to date is about 25,000 miles.

world sphere

Thus, by the 13th century, the idea of ​​the round shape of the Earth had already firmly established itself in science. The famous English mathematician, the founder of the decimal number system, John de Sacrobosco, or John from Halifax, as he is called in England, published his famous treatise On the World Sphere. In this work, Sacrobosco summarized the findings of Eastern astronomers and the ideas of Ptolemy's Almagest. Since 1240, the "World Sphere" has become the main textbook on astronomy at Oxford, the Sorbonne and other prestigious universities in the world and has gone through about 60 editions over 400 years.

Christopher Columbus picked up the baton of the idea of ​​a world sphere when, in 1492, he began his famous journey to India, sailing from Spain to the west. He was sure that he would reach the continent, because the Earth has a spherical shape, and there is not much difference in which direction to swim: all the same, the movement will be closed in a circle. So it is no coincidence that Columbus was the one who first proved that the Earth is round, as they say in many modern textbooks. He was an educated, enterprising, but not very successful navigator, since all the glory of the discoverer went to his colleague Amerigo Vespucci.

Biblical descriptions of the Earth

In the Bible, information about the system of celestial bodies and the shape of the Earth actually looks somewhat contradictory. So, in some Old Testament books, the flat shape of the earth and the geocentric model of the world are quite unambiguously described:

(Psalm 103:5) “You have set the earth on solid foundations: it will not shake forever and ever”;

The book of Ecclesiastes (Ecclesiastes 1:5) “The sun rises, and the sun sets, and hurries to its place where it rises”;

The Book of Joshua (Josh. 10:12) "...stop, the sun is over Gibeon, and the moon is over the valley of Aialon!"

And yet she turns!

The Bible also says that the Earth is round, and some interpretations of the Holy Scripture confirm the heliocentric structure of the world:

The book of the prophet Isaiah, 40:22: "He is the one who sits over the globe of the Earth ...";

Book of Job (Job 26:7): "He (God) stretched out the north over the void, hung the earth on nothing";

(Job 26:10): "He drew a line over the surface of the water, to the border of light with darkness."

The benefits and harms of the Inquisition

Such ambiguity of the biblical images of the Earth, the Sun and other celestial bodies can indeed be explained by the fact that the Holy Scripture did not aim to reveal the physical structure of the Universe, but is called upon to serve only the salvation of the human soul. However, in the Middle Ages, the church, being the forefront of science, was forced to seek the truth. And she had to either compromise with the theories of various scientists, or forbid their scientific activities, since it was not possible to combine the conclusions they received with some biblical interpretations, as well as with the theory of Aristotle-Ptolemy that prevailed at that time.

So, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was recognized as a heretic for his active propaganda of the heliocentric system of the world, justified at the beginning of the 16th century by Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). The most scandalous and sad act of the Inquisition - the burning at the stake of Giordano Bruno in 1600 - is known to any schoolchild. True, in fact, the verdict of the Inquisition in the case of the monk Bruno Nolanz had nothing to do with his reasoning about the heliocentric system of celestial bodies, he was accused of denying the basic Christian dogmas. However, the persistence of this myth speaks to the profound importance of the work of astronomers for modern science and religion.

Does the Quran say the earth is round?

Since the Prophet Mohammed was one of the late founders of the monotheistic religion, the Quran absorbed the most advanced ideas of science and religion, based on the colossal treasures of knowledge of the pundits of the East. There is also evidence in this holy book for the round shape of the earth.

"He covers the night with the day, which hastily follows it."

"He wraps the night around the day and wraps the day around the night."

Such continuous cyclicity and uniform superimposition of day and night clearly indicates the sphericity of the Earth. And the verb "wraps around" is used quite unequivocally, emphasizing precisely the circular motion of the luminary around the globe of the Earth.

"No and no! I swear by the Lord of the easts and wests! Verily, We are able."

It is obvious that on a flat Earth there can be only one west and one east, and only on a round one there are many of them. The position of the west and east changes relative to the horizon line due to the rotation of the Earth.

“A sign for them is the dead earth, which We revived and extracted from it the grain on which they feed” (36:33)

And another quote from the Quran:

“The sun is sailing towards its place. Such is the arrangement of the Mighty, the Knower. We have ordained positions for the moon until it becomes again like an old palm branch. The sun does not have to overtake the moon, and the night does not lead the day. Everyone floats in an orbit” (36:38-40).

Also in the Holy Book of Muslims there is a unique ayat with the words "After that He spread the earth" (79:30), where a special Arabic verb "da-ha" was used, which has two meanings: "spread" and "round". This very figuratively emphasizes that from the top the earth seems to be stretched out, while it has a rounded shape.

To new discoveries

Our planet with all the legends, myths, tales, theories and evidence about it is of scientific, social and religious interest even today. No one dares to claim that the planet has been fully studied, a great many mysteries are hidden in it, and future generations will have to make many of the most incredible discoveries.

After seven years of research on the format of the Earth, scientific experiments conducted by Brazilian researchers from Dakila Research and the Zigurats Technology Center in collaboration with professionals from different areas of Brazil and other countries such as the USA, Russia, Chile, the Netherlands, Spain, showed that the Earth is not spherical. The evidence is presented in the feature film Terra Convexa.

Terra Convexa (Convex Earth) is the first official documentary on the shape of the Earth, revealing the details of precise and measured experiments conducted by a group of scientists from around the world over a period of 7 years. This documentary presents key experiences that allow every thinking person to draw their own, unbiased conclusions about what shape the Earth has, what its true structure is. Flat, spherical, round, square?

Seven scientific experiments were carried out, including a geodetic one that measured the distances between the bases and tops of a building in Torres (RS) and another in Natal (RN) with a distance of 3050 km between them. reference to sea level. “The measurements were the same. If the Earth were spherical, the measurement of the distance between the bases would have to be smaller than the measurement between the tops of the buildings, because they would follow the curvature of the Earth,” explains Urandir de Oliveira, founder of Dakila Research.

The event was attended by engineers from the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA). A long-range laser was used to measure the flatness and leveling of the waters at the Tres Marias Dam (MG). at Lagoa dos Patos (RS), on Lake Titicaca, Peru; and in the seas of Ilhabela (SP) and in the Strait of Gibraltar. Tests carried out up to 35 km showed no curvature. Experiments with refracting and reflecting telescopes have proven that boats do not disappear on the horizon, but we have lost the ability to observe them due to an optical phenomenon.

This phenomenon has been studied by researchers who have formulated a new physical theory that physically and mathematically explains how it works. Experiments with plumbing (verticalization) and level (horizontalization) proved that gravity does not exist, because the physical behavior of water is to seek its original shape, i.e. flatness.

According to Urandir, what keeps us on the ground is MDPL (magnetism, density, pressure and light). Through images obtained from several atmospheric probes launched by researchers, as well as intrusions, including in Antarctica, in collaboration with the Brazilian Armed Forces, as well as other analyzes of materials found in the glaciers of Siberia and on the shores of the Arctic Gas Ocean, such as pollen, dust and leaf fragments, a new continent known as the "Great North" was discovered, separated by a large mass of ice.

The trajectory of the stars, including the Sun and Moon, is completely different from what science says. The new information made it possible to correctly position the continents. Complete research information regarding equipment, coordinates, images, all methods used, research content, technical reports, scientific articles, mathematical calculations and proposed theories will be available shortly on the websites

This film also examines the strange behavior of the sun, moon and stars, carefully examines the trajectories and orbits of the movement of celestial bodies, which, as it turned out, do not correspond at all with the reality we are used to. The effect of surface curvature that occurs on photographic and video images obtained from a great height with the help of atmospheric probes is analyzed.

The sizes and shapes of the existing continents have been revised in the framework of the new theory of the Bulging Earth. A serious assumption has been made about the existence of a new continent, which the researchers called the "Great North". The authors of the film give clear and convincing explanations about how such bold assumptions were made.

At the end of the film, mainstream science experts sum up the experiments and give an authoritative opinion on the tests carried out. Terra Convexa gives answers to many questions that we unconsciously ask ourselves, observing numerous oddities, phenomena and phenomena that are often recorded on water, on earth, in the atmosphere, in near space. The film is categorically recommended to every inhabitant of the planet Earth without exception.
