What /is/ the explanation for this?
Relativity and inertia. Same reason jumping on a plane doesn't make you fly to the back of the plane.
Edit: pi-guy explained it better.
What /is/ the explanation for this?
Coast to Coast AM has had some excellent segments that cover topics such as flat earth theory, hollow earth theory, etc. I've found the hollow earth pieces to be exceptional.
Also, for those who are interested, they just had a great segment on the hollow moon theory. Summary below:
But what about satellite images/video of the earth?
How is this a thing?
Don't make fun of flat earthers, They are the victims of online campaign directed mostly to US citizens.
The sudden explosion in popularity is not a coincidence, If you follow the flat earth community's leaders you will notice that they have unbelievable love and respect for Putin and always link his name with honesty.
Remember when we thought conspiracy theories are harmless and kinda funny?
Not anymore, Armies of online trolls pushing hard for bull shit like Pizzagate and Flat earth.
Putin might be responsible for more things than we suspect, but I don't think elementary-school level of ignorance of non-Russians could be one of them.Don't make fun of flat earthers, They are the victims of online campaign directed mostly to US citizens.

I don't think they are funny. It's frightening that it has become more popular.Don't make fun of flat earthers, They are the victims of online campaign directed mostly to US citizens.

Falling is one thing (gravity) but this isn't a great argument given the surface tension of water.
If the earth is flat then what are mountains? ¯\_(ツ_/¯

I just learned the flat earthy moon data.If Earth is flat, why is the sun and moon round?
How do satellites orbit the Earth and accurately show us the weather?
I don't know if I could continue conversing with someone so willfully ignorant.
Why? How? What? This is upsetting me.The moon is a sphere. It has a diameter of 32 miles and is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth.
I know GAF loves to jump all over any kind of conspiracy theorist and whatnot (and Flat Earth really deserves it...)
But I am still hung up on ""this Earth might be flat but it's the only one we got". " ..... who the hell talks like that? Who would structure that in a sentence even if they were a devout flat earther.... it just makes no sense.
""this Earth might be flat but it's the only one we got". ... just can't get past it.
If you're believing in stuff like a flat Earth I've got to assume your grammar is the least of your concerns.
I can show the receipts if it's really so unbelievable to you.I know GAF loves to jump all over any kind of conspiracy theorist and whatnot (and Flat Earth really deserves it...)

Conspiracy theories make the believer think they are a special snowflake who is privy to "the truth". They are free ego boosts. They also tickle a part of the brain that loves a mystery.Question about Flat Earth Theory:
Why do people that believe the earth is flat care? Why is it important to them in any way?
Me and my girlfriend where discussing this theory and other crackpot conspiracies and she made a really good point about why people believe this crap when there isn't a shred of credible evidence. It's because believing in something like this makes you feel special, like you know some kind of secret. It's fun to them.
You don't believe in this crap because you looked at the facts and made an honest descision, you believe it because it makes you either feel smart or your life more insteresting. Stupid as fuck of course, but it makes sense.

I found out one of my friends is a flat earther a few years ago. As dumb as the whole thing might be, he is an intelligent dude that makes most of it sound actually believable.... Or I at least want to believe him lol Nothing better than going out for a few too many beers and going to town on the flat earth thing. Good nights!
And I can't believe people actually drop friends because of this? Honestly, someone telling me they're a flat earther is no different than finding out you're religious. I don't believe in either and they both sound ridiculous to me. And I'm not dumping friends for that alone. I have enough problems to deal with than care what others are doing with their spare time to get by within reason.
Don't agree. Intelligence isn't so much of a binary thing either you are or aren't. People can be smart in a myriad of different ways and dumb in plenty others.These two things do not go together. There is nothing intelligent about believing a bunch of fan fiction over established fact just because you're paranoid/distrusting of the government/scientists/millions of other people involved in this great "cover-up."
Ah, that makes more sense. If you want to use words like that you need to type the whole post like a funkadelic disco man to get us in the mood, just throwing in one word of it makes it confusing.When I said cat I meant a person. Not an actual cat. A guy/dude/chap/cat reminded him of me.

I feel that this is an inconsequential opinion to have, with regards to the earth being flat.
True best friends are invaluable in life, so this doesn't seem like a worthwhile topic over which you have to sever ties with him.
Honestly if it were me I'd never get past it. How wouldn't it ruin your friendship.
'Hey this film is good'
'Is it? You think the world is flat.'
'Hey I was just reading an amazing article on how objects just fall'
'Get fucked'
I'm not dropping him as a friend unless he keeps trying to get me to "WAKE UP". But I don't feel it's as inconsequential as you make it sound.I feel that this is an inconsequential opinion to have, with regards to the earth being flat.
