520			_a"One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe" by William Carpenter is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work presents a controversial argument against the widely accepted theory that the Earth is a globe, instead asserting that it is flat. Carpenter aims to challenge established astronomical beliefs and encourage readers to question common scientific assertions related to the shape of the Earth. At the start of the pamphlet, Carpenter introduces the idea that the common perception of the Earth being flat should be investigated and not simply accepted. He references the work of Richard A. Proctor, whom he designates as "the greatest astronomer of the age," to frame his argument and outlines various experiments that allegedly prove the Earth’s flatness, contesting accepted scientific experiments and observations regarding curvature and spherical geometry. This opening section sets the stage for the subsequent elaboration of his one hundred proofs, using examples from everyday observation, practical navigation, and theological interpretations to bolster his stance.
