Flat Earthers are a group who believe that as the name suggests, that
the Earth is actually flat but that the mainstream media, the
government, and the world’s major agency are keeping up the illusion
that the Earth is spherical for some unknown nefarious purpose.

While Flat Earthers make up a small proportion of the popular, they have
an incredibly strong presence on various social media platforms such as
Reddit. Now their prevalence has driven some non-believers to the edge,
and they are trying to come up with a solution to put an end to the idea
of the Flat Earth once and for all.


Flat Earth would screw up gravity bigtime, would water go to the edge ?

Bad science SErgio! Obviously it would to over the edge but then gravity
would cause it to "fall upward" toward the underside ot the flat earth
and then eventually come around the far edge. All this is obvious science.

On the other hand I actually did see the edge of the earth. It was at
the end of the ocean and there was this wall and huge beams with huge
bolts. It was in a movie called "The Truman Show". They tried to pass it
off as "just a movie" but Looper told me that they actually used real
pictures of the edge of the flat earth.

perhaps "Earth is flat" like a pizza, but got rolled up, so most edges
touch or overlap, and then there are two holes at the end, => Hollow
Earthers.

that show was so real, one time I walked into a door, it wouldn't open,
and I had that feeling I was at the edge.

Most humans do not get to go outside a 50 miles radius from their home.
They really don't, the whole Earth over. Escapism is their first resort.
For them, their Earth is flat Flat FLAT.

I saw this weird artsy Hindi movie once. One woman and two older men
in a village about two thousand years ago. Every now and then, the
audience heard a plane fly overhead. Turns out, the twist was, these three
people lived in modern India near an airport. None had a clue. Weird.

The Truman Show was/is a rather interesting movie. Worth watching once.
It kind of lost me when the movie did product placement ads while
trying to complain about doing product placement ads. It also
presupposed that Truman somehow knew about airplanes when the light
fell from the ceiling in the bubble/cage he was entrapped in.

The Human Condition, what a terrible nightmare to inflict upon Humanity.

Lesson? Happiness is having a mansion, a yacht, a jet, a Tesla, jewelry, ...

I saw this crazy HDTV commercial the other day. Two young pretty lesbians
are kissing eachother. The commercial is about how diamonds are forever.

It's illegal to refuse to sell diamonds to lesbians. I'm surprised they
are even interested. Too feminine.

Anyway, straight dudes like you usually find watching two lesbians go at
it really Hot. Women on the other hand could barf at a scene like that
(unless they happen to like women, natch)

I much enjoy the flat earth debate.

It shows us to what extend arguments for and against a thing can be explained away. It is different from the human ability to believe things that are obviously wrong. It is the road from certainty to doubt.

If one approaches the flat earth concept from the position that earth must be a ball there is this emotional payload that completely prevents one from hearing the arguments.

It seems a more natural or more logical approach to have an emotional state where one enjoys proving a claim wrong.

If I say you car cant go faster than 100 km/h or that you cant bake a perfect soufflé you wouldn't endlessly argue that your soufflé never fails. Would you repeat that [rather empty] claim for a good number of years would have everyone convinced of the opposite.

We can all agree there are hundreds of things that should confirm earth being a ball swirling around the sun.

The flat earth theorists have alternative explanations for all of them. While some are a stretch of the imagination they also have ones that on their own (ignoring all the other approaches) confirm the theory!

That should be bloody fascinating to anyone interested in logic.

The first thing that popped to my mind was airline flight paths. Surely that would give us a map with lines and time stamps that rigorously confirm the earth to be a ball.

Ok... apparently not...

Since that doesn't work average Joe can simply go see things vanishing over the horizon on open water? Surely the slight variation in gravity wouldn't get in the way of that?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4oT2EbDONs

That... more than didn't work?

Then I end up reading about gyroscopes where it is explained to me that they automatically correct themselves to point towards the center of the earth.

And I end up reading about sticks in the soil casting shadows. All very nice but it either means the earth is a ball or the sun is much closer.

Surely our space agencies have tons of credible footage?

It certainly appears that way.... or wait... if you go back a few decades the footage perfectly matches the crappy movie studio tech of the day.

You get to the point where people want a mushroom on mars to be proof of life on mars. In reality, if that is a mushroom, there is a much more obvious conclusion to be had.

These are all known to be fake

https://simplecapacity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The-Flat-Earth-Conspiracy-Is-NASA-Fooling-The-sWorld.jpg

If we really wanted the earth to be a sausage we could stitch images and create self correcting gyrotheories to make it all work. The sun and the moon would get a more interesting trajectory but we would know it to be real simply by sticking sticks in the soil.

Surely we can find something better to confirm our spheroid earth group think conjecture?

The earth is not flat because all textbooks and authorities SAY it is
round. That should be enough proof for anyone. Do governments ever lie
to the people? Of course they don't. All those stories about NASA
covering things up are nothing but conspiracy theories like Trump's tax
returns. Returners are kooks just like flat earthers.

There is no explanation for gravity. "Scientists" pretend it to be some divine magic. There would be no screwing involved in replacing it with the buoyancy magic.

With gravity you cant have mountains. Not to deep below the surface everything would be liquid and the mountain would require a body below the liquid much like an iceberg. It would stick so deep, where it would be so hot, that no material would qualify.

> would water go to the edge ?

There is a wall of ice around the ocean, commonly called Antarctica. Antarctica is like the love and peace hippie community where infinite-warmongering nations come together under a single treaty to preserve the unique plant life, trees, fish, animals ETC while all we get is a big white glob on the map. Our rulers go there to hug trees and sing kumbaya????

There is no controversy over Antarctica being a wall of ice tho.

The question should be the other way around.

If we spin a ball covered with water and filled with lava having continents float on top. What logical shape would it take? What cartoon physics explains the water not going to the edge of the crazy speed spinning ball?

Are the centrifugal forces insignificant compared to gravity? So insignificant that they don't register?

Why are the continents not moving around like speed boats if their mass is different from that of water?

Best we can do for a theory there is that sailors didn't like the idea of sailing off the world but merchants and rulers controlled the narrative.

Just like today, if you have no financial backing or an endorsement from a major institution you are not allowed to have any scientific ideas.

It is easy to follow the money and influence that made the so called major theories what they are today. From newton and galileo to kelvin and ein stein. After that came the well-funded and over-promoted parrot scientists.

Imagine you are a wealthy oppressor and there are 1000 raw theories to chose from. You could easily force science to portray the world the way you want people to see it. Simply pick one, over promote it, then have 1000 new ideas build on the new found truth.

It might just be that there are more interesting things to talk about than global warming.

You have all kinds of space agencies extracting billions from tax payers. And what does the gullible public get in return? Fucking CGI and fucking photoshop.

One submarine guy had to ask, wtf are those spaace seals made from? Why do seals on our submarines riddled with classified technology require huge teams and heavy equipment to do constant maintenance to seal things with subs operating in such modest pressure difference and such modest spectrum of temperatures?

You are looking at a swimming pool not a space station. A montage of footage recorded in diving airplanes. Just like in any movie studio the camera doens't look around.

Its all bullshit.
