Untitled : We start our series of etexts of alternative theories of the shape of the earth with this masterpiece of pseudoscience by Cyrus Teed. Why Teed was so adamant about our entire universe being inside an 'inside-out' sphere is unknown. Martin Gardner, in Fads and Fallacies, has suggested that it w...

Addenda. Principles Of The New Geodesy : PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW GEODESY LUCIE PAGE BORDEN THE ORDINARY READER is not so familiar with the term geodesy as the surveyor, because the latter is in the habit of making use of geodetic instruments in the pursuit of his own vocation.

The Earth Is A Shell. The Sun Is The Center : THE EARTH IS A SHELL; THE SUN IS THE CENTER IN THE Koreshan System of Cosmogony the fact must always be borne in mind that the sun is the center, and the earth is the circumferential shell or environment. The sun has three primary or first principles; namely, heat, light, and gravity. These...

Objections : OBJECTIONS BY ILLOGICAL CRITICS OBSERVATIONS ON THE GULF OF MEXICO BY THE KORESHAN GEODETIC STAFF THE OBJECTION had been so often urged by illogical critics that tests upon inland waters were not satisfactory, that it was decided that observations be made upon the Gulf itself, the conformity...
Optical Factors And Illusions : p. 31 OPTICAL FACTORS AND ILLUSIONS THE PROOFS OF CELLULAR COSMOGONY CONTRASTED WITH ASSUMPTIONS IT IS ASSUMED by those who profess to believe in and advocate the Copernican system of astronomy, that the earth is convex because it appears so from optical observation.
