Title: Crack forms in the Earth in Wyoming - Is this the end?
Post by: FlatOrange on November 03, 2015, 11:20:41 PM
If I was a flat-earther this would certainly be the end. The disc of the Earth is succumbing to the enormous pressure of the Aetheric Winds and the Upwards Acceleration.

Repent.

What makes you think that a flat Earth can not bend and crack?

Confession: actually I just thought it was really cool and I like posting in this board the most so I challenge myself to make some kind of argument from a RE vs. FE perspective.

It's not a real challenge though I don't care that much.

Oh, another self confessed troll.  Anyway, long time, no see, FlatOrange.  I hope you are well.

That looks like an impressive example of extensional fracturing. Probably slippage of the rock strata along downward-tilting bedding planes ("downdip" to geologists).

Cool!

Most of my posts are genuine. And I wasn't really misleading (trolling) since I started with a hypothetical "if i was a flat-earther..."

I am well! How are you?

How dare you come here and try to spread lies.
For shame.

What makes you think that a flat Earth can not bend and crack?

But how much bend and crack can truly be sustained before a flat Earth is a broken Earth?

I did not know that there were tinsel strength data sheets for us to reference.

There's lots of data available for tensile strength of rock. Is that what you meant?

Did you even look? Google and Bing are pretty good at returning intended results even with misspelled search terms. You'll still need to know what any of it means for it to be useful, though.
