Title: How thick is the earth?
Post by: Particle Person on February 03, 2011, 08:21:59 PM
Just wondering.

Pretty thick.

Sweet. Somebody here said it's infinitely thick, but if the earth is constantly accelerating upward how can that be?


Oh, oops... there's a thread asking this exact same question on the front page, my mistake. Well, we can discuss the viability of an infinitely thick earth here then.

No, we cannot. Look at the title of this forum.

Okay, question: can the earth be infinitely thick?

That would depend on your definition of infinite.

If what we know about gravity in either the supported FE models or in RE theory is anywhere near correct, no.

Umm. Aren't you a supporter of the infinite earth model John?

Infinite Horizontally, not vertically.

John's infinite plane uses Gauss's Law to explain why gravity works and UA is unnecessary.

But it's still infinitely thick.

Nope.  Gauss's Law allows you to determine the thickness of the FE by using the average density of the FE.

Nope.

Incorrect. It's infinitely thick. Just that the thickness is measured left to right, not up and down as the globularists would want you to do.

So how do you call the up and down measurement ???
Title: Re: How thick is the earth?
Post by: Crustinator on February 04, 2011, 01:26:15 PM
Up and down are globularist inventions designed to force us into believing the earth is spherical.

I prefer the terms "positive vector" and "negative vector" which can be used to refer to any direction.

Okay ! I get the point ! Buildings are build from left to right. It's so obvious ! Thanks, dude, make me understand this ;).

This is stupid. The earth is a rhombus.

In my flat earth model the earth is infinite both horizontally and vertically. So yes the underground is also infinite.

That means the earth would fill the entire universe.

Incorrect. The Earth can be extend infinitely in one direction, but no the other. There is a limit you could say.

So the Earth can in fact be infinitely vertical, and still not take up all the space in the universe.

I don't think that's how infinity works. Especially not if the earth is also moving upward. Does that mean it's growing?

Well, no. Not yet at least; I'm sixteen (oops, credibility ruined).

Correct, in my model the earth is the universe itself, with infinite number of regional suns that serve as energy sources for various parts of infinite earth. But please keep in mind that my model is the model of a parallel universe, not our universe.

Pretty thick.

I just made a sandwich that was pretty thick, and I know I have dug down deeper than that into the ground. I must therefore conclude that you have no idea.
