Lol fucking what? Get out.hollow earth theory is far more credible, although flat earth does have its own merits
try to keep an open mind
Stand up.
Walk 10 feet straight ahead.
Turn left by 90 degrees.
Walk another 10 feet.
Again, turn left by 90 degrees.
Do it for a third time: walk. then turn left.
Now the next time you walk 10 feet ahead, you'll trace the fourth and last side of a square, and you'll end up where you started. If you turn by 90 degrees for a fourth time, you'll face in the original direction, too.
Oftentimes, the way that authors introduce the idea of non-Euclidean geometry is by giving examples of what happens when instead of tracing triangles on a plane you trace them on a curved surface—say, on the surface of the Earth.
So start at any point on the equator and head for the North Pole. Once you get there, you've covered one-fourth of the circumference of the globe, or about 10,000 kilometers. Now turn left by 90 degrees and start walking south. After 10,000 kilometers, you'll reach the equator again. But you won't be at the place where you started. Instead, you'll be at a place 10,000 kilometers to the west of the starting point. Now turn left by 90 degrees so that you're facing East, and walk another 10,000 kilometers: you'll be back where you started.
Their answer is that there is a third completely dark object in the sky that partially blocks the moon and sun at times
Do you actually believe in a flat earth? If so can you explain how different climates work? Like, why is the only part of the earth that seemingly gets 24/7 sun exposure (according to that gif) a frozen wasteland? Why does the planet get hotter towards the middle, then cooler again towards the edge?
Yeah....how does the shadow on the moon change according to flath-earthers?
Also why do we have less light in the winter in Europe? Does the sun turn faster?
And why doesn't it have an effect round the equator... where the hours the sun shine stay about the same all year long?
Have you actually seen this frozen wasteland or is this just from the Photoshopped pics?
I'm not a flat earther. Pls stop calling my bluff.
The problem with this argument is you can't actually draw these lines to demonstrate it, so you're essentially saying "these parallel lines will meet because the earth is curved, and since they meet that proves the earth is curved".
I'm familiar with non Euclidian geometry, can you explain how this is the "mathematical basis for the flat earth"?
I assume this conspiracy has unreliable navigation aids (such as compasses) built in, otherwise it would be trivial to disprove.Well, you could just use a compass or some other method to know your orientation and travel along these lines, it's just as practical as circumnavigating the Earth. I totally agree that this is not the most practical way to disprove the flat Earth.
Speaking of ways to disprove the flat Earth, here's a kid's pool demonstration of the Coriolis force https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXaad0rsV38
Flat-earthers have just misunderstood what is really going on, along with the rest of you of course. Similar to Darwin's evolutionary theory the earth is just evolving. Think about it! It used to be flat, then it was spherical. According to my calculations what we are now seeing, and the flat-earthers are missing, is that the so call "globe" is turning into a cube.

Preferably in your own words, I don't know if you understood this article
Being a flat earther is the sort of thing that would make me unable to look someone in eye again over.
Flat earth is an interesting theory but it goes deeper than that. I follow the findings of gene ray who found out the earth is a cube.

Just ask them why raindrops are spheres while they're falling and watch them as they come up with another stupid reason.

Some people consciously choose to be idiots. There's nothing you can do about it. We all pull our little 'ignoramus' acts on a daily basis, some people just like to act .. on a larger scale.Just waking up, see this thread, reminded of the conversation with my friend. Sad all over again.
He doesn't believe in gravity lol.
I know how you feel. Someone on my Facebook is constantly posting flat earth shit. I'm not sure what theory he believes though. He either thinks that there are ice walls at the edges of the Earth with government personnel stationed there to stop people getting to close to them, or he thinks that there is a giant dome surrounding the Earth that has never been penetrated, thus there are no satellites and we've never been to space, all the footage of astronauts on the ISS is fake and it's actually just people in water tanks. Yeah this is what he thinks I'm pretty sure:
People are strange
It wouldn't?Flat earthers are dumb and should be called on it.
Gravitiy itself would not work on a flat Earth model.
We know this, Newton knew this, the Mayans knew this, hell, old Greeks knew this.
Perhaps your brain is flat?
Someone who's dumb/crazy enough to believe the Earth is flat is actually an excellent reason to end a friendship.This. Some people will latch onto the weirdest stuff for whatever reason. Don't let it ruin your friendship though.

Falling is one thing (gravity) but this isn't a great argument given the surface tension of water.

That is now my go to response. Was there only one in this thread? Y'all went ham. I wanted to read more of his reasonings lol.
I always wondered about one thing:
Why don't conspiracy people get the idea, that maybe the conspiracy theory is fake?
I mean they easily believe scientific proven facts are fake, while believing in conspiracy theories with less to none evidence.
Makes no sense.
Why don't they ever think:
"wait, maybe the conspiracy theory is bullshit and some people just like to make easy money with conspiracy books" for example.
So strange. Most of them don't even make the effort to check something out by yourself (get in a plane, buy a telescope etc.)
Just reading some bullshit on the Internet, believing it without questioning and passing that bullshit to other people.
I don't get what flat-earthers believe. What do they think is on the other side of the earth? Do they really believe there's an outer boundary keeping everything in?
The whole thing is so flabbergastingly stupid that I can't even comprehend how someone can think like that.
What /is/ the explanation for this?Get in a helicopter and hover above the same spot until fuel runs out and you have to land.
If the earth is round and rotating, then why are you in the same spot as before, and not in a different location since the earth is supposed to rotate under you?!

Inertia and friction.What /is/ the explanation for this?
What do you mean by "study"?...I take it you've never studied religion then?
(And I'm an atheist before anyone assumes otherwise)
What /is/ the explanation for this?

You're right. If the Earth rotated, I could jump and get to Japan in a few seconds. Since I can't do that, my conclusion is that Japan doesn't exist.Get in a helicopter and hover above the same spot until fuel runs out and you have to land.
