This 3rd Edition of Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe was written in 1881 By Parallex, who was also known as Samuel Birley Rowbotham. Parallax was a Flat Earth Theorist, and Worked To Educate Others About Why He Believed the Earth Was Flat Instead Of A Planet. In This Book, Parallax Uses Diagrams of Experiments, As Well As Text, to Prove that the Earth Is Flat. Rowbotham was an English inventor who was born in 1816 and Died in 1884. "Rowbotham's method, which he called Zetetic Astronomy, models the Earth as an enclosed plane centered at the North Pole and bounded along its perimeter by a wall of ice, with the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars moving only several hundred miles above the surface of Earth." - Wikipedia Although Written at the Turn of the Century, this Flat Earth Book is Very Relevant for Today. This 2018 Edition Is Updated With A Brief History of the Flat Earth Theory, and Facebook and Website Resources.

Samuel Birley Rowbotham, under the pseudonym 'Parallax', lectured for two decades up and down Britain promoting his unique flat earth theory. This book, in which he lays out his world system, went through three editions, starting with a 16 page pamphlet published in 1849 and a second edition of 221 pages published in 1865. The third edition of 1881 (which had inflated to 430 pages) was used as the basis of this etext. Rowbotham was an accomplished debater who reputedly steamrollered all opponents, and his followers, who included many well-educated people, were equally tenacious. One of them, John Hampden, got involved in a bet with the famous naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace about the flat earth. An experiment which Hampden proposed didn't resolve the issue, and the two ended up in court in 1876. The judge ruled against Hampton, who started a long campaign of legal harassment of Wallace. Rowbotham hints at the incident in this book. Rowbotham believed that the earth is flat. The contients float on an infinite ocean which somehow has a layer of fire underneath it. The lands we know are surrounded by an infinite wilderness of ice and snow, beyond the Antarctic ocean, bordered by an immense circular ice-cliff. What we call the North Pole is in the center of the earth. The polar projection of the flat earth creates obvious discrepancies with known geography, particularly the farther south you go. Figure 54 inadvertantly illustrates this problem. The Zetetic map has a severly squashed South America and Africa, and Australia and New Zealand in the middle of the Pacific. I think that by the 19th century people would have noticed if Australia and Africa were thousands of miles further apart than expected, let alone if Africa was wider than it was long! The Zetetic Sun, moon, planets and stars are all only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth. The sun orbits the north pole once a day at a constant altitude. The moon is both self-illuminated and semi-transparent. Eclipses can be explained by some unknown object occulting the sun or moon. Zetetic cosmology is 'faith-based', based, that is, on a literal interpretation of selected Biblical quotes. Hell is exactly as advertised, directly below us. Heaven is not a state of mind, it is a real place, somewhere above us. He uses Ussherian Biblical chronology to mock the concept that stars could be millions of light years away. He attacks the concept of a plurality of worlds because no other world than this one is mentioned in the Bible. Rowbotham never adequately explains his alternative astronomy. If the Copernican theory so adequately explains planetary motions, why discard it, and what would he use in its place? What is the sun orbiting around once a day and how does it work like a spotlight, not a 'point source'? If the moon is self-luminous, what creates its phases? If gravity appears to work here on earth, why doesn't it apply to the celestial objects just a few hundred miles up? To make his system work he had to throw out a great deal of science, including the scientific method itself, using instead what he calls a 'Zetetic' method. As far as I can see this is simply a license to employ circular reasoning (e.g., the earth is flat, hence we can see distant lighthouses, hence the earth is flat). Zetetic Astronomy is a key work of flat-earth thought, just as Donnelly's Atlantis, the Antediluvian World is still considered required reading on the subject of Atlantis. If you ever have to debate the flat earth pro or con, this book is a complete agenda of each point that you'll have to argue.

Zetetic Astronomy is a classic 1881 volume on Flat Earth theory that gives a fascinating introduction to zetetic astronomy and the work of Samuel Birley Rowbotham. What if the Earth isn’t a globe like we’ve been told? What if, instead, it is an enclosed plane surrounded by a wall of ice with the North Pole at its centre? Writing under the pseudonym of Parallax, Samuel Birley Rowbotham breaks down his alternative ideas and introduces zetetic astronomy in this 1865 treatise. This classic volume is a great introduction to Flat Earth theory and is sure to initiate many interesting conversations. Rowbotham disputes science by offering his own theories. He explores the idea that the Earth is flat and that below us is a layer of fire. The planets and stars that modern science state to be millions of kilometers and lightyears away are, according to Rowbotham, within just a few hundred miles of the Earth’s surface. Zetetic Astronomy is a faith-based science of cosmos and provides riveting explanations for Flat Earth thought. Incorporating his strong Christian beliefs with his evidence, Rowbotham argues that Heaven and Hell are in existence above and below our planet respectively. This high-quality volume features chapters such as: - Introduction – Experiments proving the Earth to be a Plane - The Earth no Axial or Orbital Motion - The True Distance of the Sun and Stars - The Sun moves in a Circle over the Earth, concentric with the North Pole - Diameter of Sun's path Constantly Changing - Causes of Day and Night, Seasons, &c. - Cause of 'Sun Rise' and 'Sun Set’ Proudly republished by Obscure Press in this beautiful new edition, Zetetic Astronomy is a must-read for those with an interest in Flat Earth theory, and is not to be missed by vintage literature collectors.

Samuel Birley Rowbotham advances the Flat Earth theory, which holds that Earth is not in fact an oblate spheroid planet, but an enclosed plane above which the astronomical bodies are situated. This premium edition contains all of Rowbotham's original graphs, charts and drawings. This book originally began as a short pamphlet in the 1840s, explaining the basics of the theory with a few sketches alongside. Rowbotham was already a known inventor and author at the time, over time the theories of Zetetic Astronomy - in which the Earth is portrayed as flat - became popular. Eventually, in 1881, the author greatly expanded and published this book, in part to meet demands of public and scientific scrutiny. Keen to let the hypothesis stand on its own merits, this book was first published under the pseudonym of 'Parallax'. Upon the pages are many experiments and demonstrations, all of which are conducted in support of the Earth being flat, with the astronomical bodies situated above, rather than all around it. Most of these are framed with illustrations and diagrams, that the reader better understand Rowbotham's explanations. Various chapters concern such topics as motion of the heavenly bodies, sunrises, sunsets, the tidal movements, and the actual distances of the Sun and Moon from the Earth. Samuel Rowbotham was fiercely in favor of his theory, and asked many leading astronomers and scientists of his day to disprove it. One success of his public challenges was that it exposed many in the scientific community to be angry and poor at coping with a man with a well-argued and contrary hypothesis. Aware of these indignant sensitivities, Rowbotham was vociferous in disputing the prevailing order. Today, Zetetic Astronomy both as a book and a movement lives on. Following Rowbotham's death in 1884, his friend Lady Elizabeth Blount founded the Universal Zetetic Society, which was comprised of people committed to the belief that the Earth is flat. Although membership declined, following World War Two the group was revived as The Flat Earth Society, which continues to discuss subjects relevant to the movement in meetings and on the Internet.

In this compelling work on Flat Earth Theory, David Waldo Scott uses a collection of scripture, reason, and fact to argue against the idea that the earth is a planet. Since its publication in 1901, Terra Firma: the Earth Not a Planet, Proved From Scripture, Reason, and Fact has become one of the primary texts on the subject and is a wonderful insight into the philosophy of a bygone age. Focussing on the work made by ‘modern astronomers’, Scott draws on testimonies from travellers past, biblical scriptures, as well as other concepts from flat earth theorists to produce a wide-ranging collection of evidence to support his argument. Chapters in the book include: - The Adamic Creation - The Nebular Hypothesis: Examination of Three Alleged Proofs of the World’s Globularity - The World Circular, But Not Globular; Has Immovable Foundations, Therefore Not a Planet - The Horizontally of Land and Water Proved - The Sun, Moon, and Stars, According to Modern Astronomy - The Deluge – Biblical Account Despite being written over a decade ago, this work by David Waldo Scott continues to inspire modern generations. This edition by Read & Co. Books features an introduction to astronomy and is an interesting read for those interested in Flat Earth Theory and Christianity.
