If the Earth is flat how does gravity work?
If the Earth is round, there is one force pulling everything to a central point (the center of the Earth). So how would it work if the Earth is flat?
Also, where is the middle of the Earth? Not the center, just the middle of the flat area.
In a lot of photos and in certain areas of the world... you can actually see the curvature of the Earth on the horizon. How is this explained? Finally, if the earth is flat, how can you watch a boat sail over the horizon? Now that I think about it... if the Earth is flat, how is there a horizon?
I'd like all of my questions answered please... I'm interested in this.
-
1.) the word is accelerating upwards, simulating gravity
2.) The north-pole is the center of the disc
3.) An optical illusion, or it's just edited by people that are involved with the "conspiracy"
4.) The reason you see a horizon is cuz the air in the atmosphere disorts your vision. u cant see all the way...
5.) the boat thing is the same as above
Round Earther speaking

Sorry buddy, you wont get a straight answer from these people. Its all conspiracy and cover up. They might say the flat earth accelerates upwards so we get gravity though
-
Got a few more,
How does the Earth revolve around the sun? Can somebody gimme a quick MS Paint diagram of what way its facing and stuff? does the earth flip over and over? Like flipping a coin in the air? Or do we spin like a cd in a cd player? If we spin like a cd... hen wouldn't it be day time all the time?
The more I think about this... the more silly it seems I'm afraid to say.

You are not the only one :lol:
Ok according to flat earth joke.. i mean theory!! the moon and the sun are flat and are circeling above the flat-earth. the sun and moon are a spotlight, thats why the light isnt allways visible everywhere.
i know... its ridiculous
-
according to what ive been reading here, Orbits dont exist. The sun and moon are essentially lightbulbs getting brighter and dimmer at varying points for nite and day.
Is that right?
-
So i think its like the Truman Show only on a much grander scale.
-
Hahaha, if the Earth is accelerating upwards all the time, how? Whats pushing/pulling it upwards? And surely that means something must also be pushing/pulling the Sun, Moon, other planets... right?
And also, to have gravity the speed would have to be constantly increasing to force us down as the earth moves on.
So if it's been increasing at such a rate since the dawn of time... surely it would be into immense speeds beyond any of our reckoning? Faster than light speed by now?
How was the earth made?
The theory of a small ball slowly growing as it collected more particles is reasonable... but if you have a bundle of random particles in space, how could it possibly come together in the shape of a disk?
I was shocked to find out people believe in this... it's madness in my eyes.
-
Flat Earth theory is not silly, it is absolutely probable, and glaringly obvious in hindsight.
The sun shines on the flat earth like a spotlight, the earth does not rotate around it. The sun illuminates a specific part of the world at a time, causing day and night. The area of the spotlight is constantly moving across the face of the planet.

Totally right, its all just a big joke if u ask me.
but here is the awnser:
1.) whats pushing everything upwards is called dark energy or whatever. what it is and how its doing it nobody knows
2.) The earth is not going faster than light... but it is accelerating... still goign faster and faster and its bull****
3.) They dont know how it was made, but then again, how do WE know for sure how it was made?
4.) the chances are zero
-
Whats making the sun and earth circle above the Earth?
if the earth is accelerating upwards... wont we hit the sun and smash a massive light bulb?
If the Sun and Moon are circling us... whats circling other planets? Are the other planets just sitting there... in complete darkness without a sun? Or do they have little spotlights of their own? wait a second...
If we are accelerating upwards and that causes gravity, surely the moon would have to be accelerating slower (because it has a lower gravity). So will we catch up to the moon one day?
How do you get half moons and crescent moons?
THIS THEORY IS STUPID!

Have you actually stepped outside and seen the world around you?? Or ever looked through a telescope to see the sun is not 1000 miles up? I mean come on, you have to deny 500 years of people looking through telescopes. Educated people that were a lot smarter than you and me.

Whats making the sun shine on different spots?
Whats on the other side of the spotlight? A blank disk of rock? What powers the sun? Surely God's electricity bill must be sky high having to power that thing 24/7.

1.) No, we wont smash the sun cuz everything in the universe or whatever is moving upwards...
2.) Yeah the planets seem to have a little spotlight of their own, and they're all flat... some say they may be round ( the flat earthers arent sure about that)
3.) Well we havent been on the moon or in space according to them.. its all just a conspirecy... so we couldnt know what the gravity of the moon is... its just going parallel with the sun, earth and stars

Its the "The earth sits on the back of 2 elephants who in turn stand on the back of a turtle" that gets me :shock: :lol:

edit: retracted
-
No they wouldn't...
If you are on a plane, traveling at 700mph why aren't you crushed into your seat? You get crushed at take off (when its accelerating) but when it reaches a constant speed... there are no forces acting on you.
-
Can't help but notice none of my questions have been given a reasonable answer....
My final thought: The prospect of the Earth being flat is sheer idiocy. Why would anybody want to create such an elaborate cover up? :roll:

And to what aid. Complete ludacris. Terry Pratchett books are in the FICTION section for a reason. Ya`ll need to start learning to trust people, there is absolutly no reason for scientests,NASA,the government,pingu and Bill Gates to be covering this up.
None of you have even gave the slightest reason as to WHY there is a cover-up. Tell us that. What is your reasoning behind this somewhat crackpot faith..

If the Earth is flat how does gravity work?
There is actually debate on how gravity works in the FE model. Some believe in a universal accelerator constantly pushing everything upward. Others believe that the earth has more mass on its underside, which pulls everything downward. The earth does not collapse into a ball because of structural integrity.
Also, where is the middle of the Earth? Not the center, just the middle of the flat area.
The middle of the earth is deep underground beneath the north pole.
In a lot of photos and in certain areas of the world... you can actually see the curvature of the Earth on the horizon. How is this explained? Finally, if the earth is flat, how can you watch a boat sail over the horizon? Now that I think about it... if the Earth is flat, how is there a horizon?
Look at the horizon from an aeroplane and you will find that it is completely flat.

It’s not necessarily NASA heading this conspiracy. The UN was formed in part to coordinate RE education across the world and hammer out details on Ice Wall defense. There are supposedly testimonies which can be attributed. Each of the countries came to an agreement on duties and responsibilities.
No country will state the reality of the world being flat because it would create mass hysteria and have far reaching implication in the economy. The powerful countries would also invent a reason to embargo the whistle blowers.
The puppet masters rely on the billions of dollars spent on space exploration in order to mold the world into their own image.
-
if everything, like all planets and stars are moving upwards, then that means that if you jump off the edge of the flat earth....that would have to mean you'd move upwards with it, you'd never fall behind cos you'd have to be pulled along with this "dark energy", right? so in this FE "theory", all bodies within the entire universe must be effected by this force, which means we wouldnt feel the "gravity" generated from the accelerating earth, because we ourselves would also have this force acting on us.
you know?
lol, if anyone would like to debate this, go ahead.

CAPTAIN BUBBLEBUM IS RIGHT!

"Tom Bishop" you STILL never answered the ultimate question.

im from just outside kilmarnock, live in a farm so its pretty awkward for gettin to places. i like the idea of glasgow, like havin lots of things to do there an stuff, but i cant stay too long there cos i start to feel ill from the pollution, not that theres lots of it, its just living on a farm means i have a totally lame tolerance for cities.

A bunch of RE'ers arguing with one another, a theory none of them understand...
-
Yes, the FE is accelerating. The reaction forces provided by the earth give us what you would call the feeling of 'gravity'.
NASA is a government entity. It provides 'evidence' of the RE in exchange for money.
I don't remember the rest of your questions...

man, was that your answer to my question of the FE theory of the accelerating earth? are you saying that the dark energy just ignores us and moves the earth, so in other words we're just along for the ride?

Either that or...*gasp :o * the round earth theory is actually true.
-
There are too many questions and not enough answers here.
You guys just never give a straight answer. This idea of yours is just stupidity in a nut shell.
There is more proof for a RE than a FE. However, we Round Earthers also have some common sense which you lot seem to lack...

Tell you what, BeanDip. You gather all he questions you feel haven't been answered in this thread into one post, and I'll try to answer them. Other wise, fugetaboutit.

Omg, look in the FAQ. It's not like you are the first to ask this. All of these things are explained very well in the FAQ as well as in the Rowbotham's book the FAQ is refering to.

Hahaha, if the Earth is accelerating upwards all the time, how? Whats pushing/pulling it upwards? And surely that means something must also be pushing/pulling the Sun, Moon, other planets... right?
And what force helps the universe to keep expanding? I mean, surely some force must be constantly driving the universe to expand as well, which most likely could be the same force pushing the Earth upwards.
The universe is accelerating, not decelaring, as some might expect. Some force must be behind it, right?
-

You can just say the universe is expanding!!! I have been to the edge and there is a big fuck off ice wall that stops the universe from going anyfurther than its meant to!!!

Well... according to .. i dunno who... the big bang made the ... whatever was before our universe go BOOM and thats why everything is moving in all directions apart from each other, since space is a vacuum it can go on for ever
-
You know what? I'll make a survey for you guys... and I don't want some crappy half-arsed answers either. No dodging around this one.
I'll do it whenever I have time.

Oh thanks for the heads up for the survey, i look forward to it. Haha

I don't know. Big bang doesn't explain the acceleration in any way, but apparently it's good enough for Sanirius.

The big bang explains it a lot more than "DARK FORCES ZOOMING IT!"
Something goes "BANG" makes a big explosion... sends everything else flying outwards. Pretty much...

Why would nuclear fusion not occur in our bodies, yet be the cause of all the stars emitting heat and light?
The human body is not as massive as a star.
Why would rust not affect gold, yet tarnish most other metals?
Because Gold is a noble metal, and metals that corrode are not.
Why would the door of my refrigerator not affect apples or pillows, yet attract a vast army of tiny calendars, real estate brokerage ads, grocery lists, pizza delivery numbers, and sundry other household items?
We don't care.

Aside from your last answer, which is dumb, all of your answers have in common "because the one thing is different from the other thing". Similarly, UA doesn't affect our bodies, but does affect the stars and planets, because they are different and react differently to different forces. They're not the same, so you can't assume they'll behave the same way.

what can stars have incommon with planets that would attract such a force as dark energy? is it because they are big? like really really big? that'd be my guess. whats yours?

Gee, but using the same logic, when you see something in nature (read: UNIVERSE) repeat the same pattern over and over and over and over and never changing, wouldn't that mean that it's pretty much law that maybe, just maybe the earth would follow the same pattern?
I mean, really, I have argued this before (with only stupid lame unexplained responses) as to why would the earth be the only exception from the observable universe that it would not be spheroidal, and instead flat?
Also, a simple deduction into an object validity as a spheroidal body would be it's apparent rotation. You can SEE in a time-enhanced video of a local lanet, such as Jupiter, that it rotates, but looks flat. i don't know about you, but i'd say that is a pretty safe bet that it's spheroidal, since when I want to look at the reverse side of a coin, it doesn't magically change it's one side, and neither does a planet or star. I have to FLIP the coin to see it, and the same would have to happen for the planet. It's "disc" would have to flip. And I don't see any flipping happening.

Why would nuclear fusion not occur in our bodies, yet be the cause of all the stars emitting heat and light?
Fusion that occurs in the stars (correct me if im wrong) happens when hydrogen atoms/nuclei collide which is hard seeing as they repel each other (same charges repel, opposites attract) . What is required is lots and lots of kinetic energy so they collide anyway
Why would rust not affect gold, yet tarnish most other metals? Rust is only for iron. Gold corrodes, but because it is very unreactive it is a slow process and it can be displaced anyway which is why gold is often found "native"
Why would the door of my refrigerator not affect apples or pillows, yet attract a vast army of tiny calendars, real estate brokerage ads, grocery lists, pizza delivery numbers, and sundry other household items? It does not attract it, you put it there
p.s. HINT: all these questions can be answered as one or separately.
