Round earth and Flat Milky Way Galaxy

PBS Spacetime video on why the universe likes spheres and disks (and why the earth is a sphere, but the galaxy is a 'flat' disk)
the principles of the shapes of objects are based on equilibrium and symmetry
Note at 1:10 he uses the example of a bridge (the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge) as something that has to factor in the difference in the 'down' direction due to earth's curvature.

this contradicts the globalularist fraud that if the planets are round so why is the earth flat.

Nope.

Watch the video and try again.

I am not sure where you get this from, the video explains why ALL planets (and stars for that matter) are spheres

Contradicts!

No, it does not contradict! Watch the video and try again.

Just thought I’d add that PBS Spacetime is bloody great.

They breakdown some pretty complicated stuff into simple concepts without being patronising.

Highly recommend.

You can choose to believe or disbelieve information gleaned from the internet, but caution is advised because the internet was never intended to have information. The internet was intended as a repository and distribution conduit for cat videos and porn. Anything other than cat videos or porn are violations of the purpose of the internet, and as such, are less than entirely reliable. They are, in fact, downright sinful. The truly pure of heart use the internet for nothing other than posting or viewing cat videos and/or porn.

Of course, by posting on a discussion board not dedicated to either cat videos or porn, I am effectively admitting that I am not pure of heart.

I love that picture. But...

Cats don't like cold places. So they avoid the edge. Mostly. Have you ever lost something that you never found, ever? Your cat pushed it off the edge. If you don't have a cat, it was your neighbor's cat.

But only the Globe is completely immune from cats knocking things off:


And from people flying or sailing off the edge!

The numerous polar-circumnavigations makes the usual "Ice-Wall Map" quite impossible as in:

Polar circumnavigation of the globe: mini-documentary (1971) by Rory

Maybe someone should have told Elgen Long that you can't fly across Antarctica from Punta Arenas via the South Pole to McMurdo Base.

This summarises some of the trans-polar circumnavigations:

Transpolar Circumnavigations from: FlatEarth.ws, Debunking Flat Earth Misconceptions.

And any circumnavigation crossing longitude 180°E/180°W rules out the usual Bipolar Map.

“When I left, I thought I knew enough to go round the world this way. Now that I am back, I know that I don’t know enough to start again.”

This is a simple BS manipulation. Since you have not a better arguments so you've agreed the earth's being flat mister discount chemist.

It was a joke you bad tempered Flatardian!
With all your silly posts today it looks as though you are panicking and your flat earth I'd coming apart at the seams !
Well panic away!

It's a cute and fun meme. But so is a cube earth. No substance, and no action. Just cute and fun. Invest in passion and truth, not these trappings.

Great video! And I love the ragtime music. But as for your argument...

That pair of socks you lost and could never find? You may think the dryer ate them. But it was actually your cat that knocked them off the edge of the Earth. And remember when you were a kid and the dog ate your homework? Wrong! It was your cat who knocked it off the edge of the Earth. This is proof of a flat Earth because, in your own words, "only [a] Globe [would be] completely immune from cats knocking things off." They're knocking things off every day. And only the fact that cats hate cold has saved us from losing everything over the edge.

People fall off the edge all the time too. You know all those people who go missing in the Bermuda Triangle? (Or so everyone thinks.) They never went anywhere near Bermuda: They fell off the edge of the Earth. And how about all the people who "disappear" and are never found? They got too close, and zlooop! right off the edge!

Every time someone or something disappears, it's proof that the Earth is flat because if it were round they could not fall off the edge because there'd be no edge.

Cats are terribly cute. But it's not a meme. It's proof that the Earth is flat, as I explain above. I'm actually surprised that the round-Earthers (or as wise likes to call them, globularists; I love that word, by the way) would use an argument that so completely proves them to be mistaken.

Solar systems and galaxies have lots of space between the objects, the they stay disk like.
There are less collisions to loose their orbital motion, so they don't fall in together.

Suns, planets, and moon ext, are smaller have have reached that threshold and have collected, so gravity makes balls.
