I didn't think that posting this in a somewhat unrelated topic would do much, so here goes. What is the Flat-Earth model for the death of a star? The round-earth model (with round stars) show that the stars can either explode (Supernova), expand and cool to form a Red Giant, which eventually forms a White Dwarf, or form a Neutron star. Now, of these three, two (White Dwarf and Neutron Star) can form a Black Hole - An object whose mass is so great, and its gravity so powerful, that not even light can escape it (Do black holes exist in the flat-earth model?)
And the Supernova can form a Nebula, which in turn can form another galaxy eventually.
(I know this is drawn out, but, uh, yeah...)
So, if the Sun in the Flat-Earth Model is flat as well, does it go through any of these phases? Will it eventually become a Red Giant, and then a Neutron star due to the fusion of Hydrogen/Helium into Iron (an element that is at a key atomic mass - it cannot undergo Fission, nor Fusion)?
I can't see the Sun being flat. I also cannot see it being the size that you claim for it to be in the Flat-Earth model. Wouldn't the vaccuum of space draw all of its energy away from it? If it was truly that small, it wouldn't be able to burn for very long at all before losing all of its energy to the "cold" reaches of Space.
Just a few points to think on.

You obviously think you are more inteligent than you are...
For the 'standard model' you generalize, is based on assumptions, and what you have said would be considdered, even by astronomers, utter bolshit

Great rebuttal.
-
I know my limits.. and I do not quote things that I do not know. Don't ever claim that I think something that I truly don't. And... why haven't I managed to get any replies from the more intelligent people on this forum?
-
I don't believe it is stated anywhere that the sun is flat. I don't suppose the death of a star would be any different in FE theory.
-
The problem is... it would be. Stars die because gravity causes them to collapse inward. This is also how black holes are formed.
Unless the FE theory has the entire universe compressing inward on objects like that... I don't see it happening.
-
Stars die because gravity causes them to collapse inward.
That's one way they die. More generally, it's because they've run out of fuel. Assuming that stars do run out of fuel, they will eventually die, even if gravity doesn't exist.

The core, no longer supported against gravitational collapse by fusion reactions, becomes extremely dense, with a typical mass of that of the sun contained in a volume about equal to that of the Earth

Sorry, what's your point?
-
My whole point in this thread is that the lack of gravity in the FE model is bogus.

Well I got that. What was the point about the link to the page on white dwarves?
-
Oh, just to show where I quoted that from
-
Prove stars exist, then I will answer your question.
In Question
-ujb.

Ah, I see.... what was the point of the quote?
-
If stars don't exist, then what is the sun?
And... I already explained the point of the quote...

This quote:

does not support this point:

Even if the quote is true, doesn't mean gravity exists. In particular, it doesn't imply that the Earth ought to have gravity. The FE model only says that the Earth doesn't generate a gravitational field, not that no objects generate gravitational fields.
-

How does that work?
-
Wasn't it said that gravity didn't really occur anywhere? But that everything in the universe was moving upwards at the same speed?
Forget the bit about Stellar Parallax... I wasn't thinking straight. Apologies.
-
FE just says that gravitation isn't universeal; it doesn't seem to have a particularly strong stance on whether it exists at all.
-
So, then, does the FE model show our Sun as being a true star? Do they even exist in the FE model? Our Sun must be far too small to be a true star, if the FE model is correct.
-

I'm not sure what's so different about "true stars". Certainly the sun is not the sort of star that RE scientists describe.
-
What kind of star is it?
-
Do stars as RE scientists describe them really exist, then? Or is that all a lie, in your opinion?
-

Since you're asking two questions, I'll give you two answers:
Stars as RE scientists describe are denied by FEers to exists.
It's not a lie, in my opinion.

this quote has nothing really to do with what im going to say, just wanted to point you out.
if you dont beleieve the sun is a star, then how come almost every FE'r says its going to turn into a red dwarf, destroying earth.
-

Which FEers say that?

i cant pin point every one out, but ill make a post for FE'ers asking if they beleive the sun will explode, but you cant make a post saying what they should believe, because they'll automatcaly follow you. Just dont post in it.
-

It's flattering that you think so, but it's totally false. None of the FEers on this forum agree with my beliefs.
-
we'll see.
they follow you because you are in power and sound smarter, its kind of like how those little gophers or groundhogs race off the edge of a cliff because they dont want to be left behind
cute

Firstly, that's totally an unfair characterization.
Secondly, it's lemmings -- not gophers or groundhogs -- and you can prevent that by designating one of the lemmings as a blocker and then another as maybe a builder or digger. Or if you have enough umbrellas you can hand them out and the lemmings can use them as parachutes. Yeah.

Just an FYI:The Lemming suicide stuff is bogus. It was staged by the film crew making the Disney Documentary. Not important to the discussion, but like the toilet thing, and many other "Facts that everyone knows" untrue.
