What the actual fuck
I have no answer to that.
Google "real satellites from space."
There's supposed to be 1,500 - 20,000 satellites in orbit, yet one of the pictures the Deathstar!
Most of this things are supposed to be in low orbit, yet all the pics we get are far from earth.
If the mars-rover can take a selfie, why can't a satellite do the same?
They don't think. They merely believe.Do flat believers think the curve you see from a lunar eclipse is fake?
does anyone here believe the earth is really flat?
From what I can understand it's along the lines of "something, something, the Jews"Can someone summarize for me the "conspiracy" bit? That is to say, how they account for:
1. Hundreds of years of international cooperation to keep it secret (and why?)
2. Why no flat earther has ever sailed or flown to prove it.
Do people not understand how big our planet is?
Explain this, flat earthers.

what?!!? some explain plz
Centrifugal force. If the plane wasn't spinning and only flying upside down in a straight line, it would't work.
Do you realize that in history, the globe model is very recent and only accounts for the last 500 years of so? What's 500 years in the big picture?
This is a new trend, like wearing your pants backwards. Sure, it was cool for a while. It even made you popular with the girls. But now its passe, and we have to go back to shirts and tie. Because, that's classy; that's reality.
Science hit a roadblock. They can't harmonize the sciences of the big and the small. Now they are talking about parallel realities like its nothing.
Thing about it: what about if you are in a parallel reality were the earth is flat? According to modern science that's a possibility. So am I right?
Sail where? Antarctica is highly guarded by governments around the world.
Aristotle said:Every portion of the Earth tends toward the center until by compression and convergence they form a sphere
Travelers going south see southern constellations rise higher above the horizon; and
The shadow of Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is round.
My mom just said to me "it's just their opinion. Isn't it so funny that, hundreds of years ago, people laughed when they said the Earth was round?"
The earth is a cylinder?

The reality is, most people knew the Earth was spherical for well over 1000 years. And it was first known over 2000 years ago.
There's a pervasive myth, particularly in the US that the world was thought to be flat until Christopher Columbus. This myth started in the US (as far as I can tell) in the 1800's. "Christopher Columbus was taking a great risk, because if he was wrong he would end up falling off the Earth."
The reality is, most people knew the Earth was spherical for well over 1000 years. And it was first known over 2000 years ago.
The Earth was determined to be spherical 2500 years ago. There's a Farnese Atlas which is a spherical representation of the Earth dated to the 2nd century.
This is from about 2300 years ago.
Tell me more about this version of the sun, caffeware..

Tell that to Galileo.
Remember, most of the western civilization was ruled by the church for the longest time. The world version of the bible is flat.
And it was not until the Apollo missions that the roundness of the earth could be visually confirmed.
Of course, the Apollo mission are fake.

How is possible for an object so massive to emit light in a 'regional fashion' creating therefore "sun spots."
Shouldn't all sun rays come in the same direction/angle considering the size difference and the distance?
The sun is much closer and much smaller that in the globe model. It revolves around the earth, and changes radius creating in turn the seasons.
The moon does in similar fashion. The moons also emits its own light. This light is somewhat cold unlike the sun's.

Same reason we believe all sorts of nonsense, we don't understand what it is we are seeing. It a matter of perspective.
Crepuscular rays
No.
Galileo and the people of his time knew the Earth was round. The thing that Galileo got in trouble for was Heliocentrism. It was an argument about whether the universe was the one on the top or the bottom.
It was well established by Galileo's time that the Earth was spherical.
You can read the freaking book by the man himself.
Tell that to Galileo.

This guy is trolling you all btw

I honestly think that the actual believers are the kind of people who wouldnt even go to the super market alone, perceive the world through tv and internet and thus believe that everyone is lying to them.2. Why no flat earther has ever sailed or flown to prove it.
By the way, take it easy. We are just having fun. Nobody here is a scientist.
Of curse not.
What about people not believing in God?
I'm just giving an example. We should not judge. Some people believe/don't believe in things that others take for granted.
Oh goody! This thread again! The last one died off just after I found it.
I will wonder aloud, as I did in the last thread - What in the goddam-hell is supposed to be on the underside of our levitating disk?

According to the flat earth society
So i've been hearing about this group called Flat Earth Society where they think the world is flat. They have some compelling arguments despite being ridiculous of course. I've heard a lot of crazy things but does anyone here believe the earth is really flat? I mean just looking at the moon will give you a good clue.
The whole point of the parallel worlds theory is that anything that is possible happens in another world somewhere (note that this is not accepted by a majority of physicists, and may never be disproved). A flat earth happening naturally by starting the universe in some likely state then letting it run under the laws of physics is not possible. Just like no one expects dragons to pop out of the Sun. Flat objects don't naturally happen when large masses and gravity are involved.The earth is a cylinder?

For a long time, I honestly thought it was a parody website/club. I just recently found out that those people are actually serious. But that is as far as I wanted to inform myself.
Let them believe what they want, as long as they are not hurting anybody, no problems.
