Flat Earth (Wikipedia, April 2005)

Hmm did your mom forget to give you your pills this morning?

Wait, How does the flat ear stop the bullet?  If the world is flat, then wouldn't it just keep going and going till it went off the earth, just like it would on a round earth you say

Anybody notice just exactly where this was filed in Wikipedia?

I did!

Looks like somebody else needs to go learn some 8th grade English.

Like you for example?

Not to be sacrcastic or offending, but... Duh!  

I can safely say the Earth is Flat.
FLAT FLAT FLAT
Just look at the Moon in the sky and compare it to the Earth.
It looks flat, and is flat apart from the roundness of the edges.
Can you safely say there is something on the other side or at the round edges.

If the Earth were round there would not be any fixed point like North, South, East, West. Top, Bottom Left or Right. GMT--.EST--- PST---PMT.
Because there would not be a fix point to say North, South, East Or West, Top Bottom, Left Or Right

The equator is only there to give us a point in travelling and distance.
And longitude is only there to give us a point in time and age.
If the Earth were round all the water would run down the sides to the bottom.

Try It.

Blow a balloon up and put a drop of water on the top. It will flow downwards towards the bottom. So if the world were round all the water would end up at the bottom.
If it was flat as it is, all the water stays in the same area.

Well that’s it really.

The World Is Flat

hello mr cock brain ever heard of gravity?
guess what. it is the force that holds you onto the earth from the center of the planet. by the way if the earth were flat the we would have no magentic feild (or are magents in on the conspirasy?).

Well I must be on another Flat Earth than everyone ells.
You must know that the outer flat solar system is coated with mirror particles, which make the flat solar system seam bigger than it really is.
If you look up at the night sky on a clear evening you can see many flat star clusters repeating them self’s in the same flat star patterns but light years away from each other.

Thus The Ravingnutter mirror particle theory 2005- is totaly wrong as this person it a retard!i mean mirror particals seriously?

And where there are Black holes there must be White holes because.
(Where there is a reaction there must be an opposite reaction.)
The Sun is hot so there must be a cold sun somewhere-yes its called a black dwarf dick


Doesn’t the Borg live on a square cube?-thats sicence fiction note the word fiction

But we live on a Flat Earth.-no

What stops a bullet projectile from going all around your so-called round earth?-air resistance

Exactly. The flat earth.

It gets to the end of the Flat Earth.
And as it cannot use the Sues or Panama cannels to turn round it then shoots of into space.- this person needs shooting
Its not gravity and friction which stops the bullet projectile.
It’s the Flat Earth-Bull shit

How far can you dig into this flat earth? Where does volcanic magma come from? How do earthquakes work?

You can dig 'till the mantle, then you die.  Magma comes from the mantle (to the best of my knowledge, FE does have a mantle on which the tectonic plates float).  Earthquakes work the same as in RE; plates colliding and pressure building up

My seven year old brother just busted out laughing when i read that to him.

*** I posted this in another thread. I think it was the "government conspiracies thread" Anyway this would still apply to this one so here****

you pepople are stupid. You say riots would break out. Remeber back in the old days (15 hundreds? I dunno.) EVERYONE THOUGH THE WORLD WAS ROUND. DId riots break out? NO! DID people kill each other no? Were they wrong that the earth is flat? YES! YES! YES!. If NASA wernt real how could you explain the recent space shuttle burning up in the atmoshpere? Also ( depending on where you live because the same side of the moon always faces the earth) how would you explian that with Powerfull telescopes YOU CAN SEE THE AMERICAN FLAG ON THE MOON!!!

Plus I asure you pearl harbor would not have occured becuase accodring to you they would have had to travel the enitire earth

And back then the feul efficiency of airplanes wasnt good you could probably get 1/4th of the way. Also, airlines have changed their routes because they have determined that flying above a sphere takes less time than traveling on the bulge of the sphere.

It takes a shorter time to travle with route 'B' than route 'A' because you are going a shorter distance over a ROUNDED part of the earth.

Also how could the government conceal such a secret? And then again it wouldnt only have to be the US government. It would have to be EVERY SINGLE GOVERENMENT EVER TO RISE TO POWER. And i assure you I dont think america could keep peace with iraq much less hold a gigantic secret with them. Along with other countries.

In addition explain this to me; If the earth were flat how is it possible that it  Night time on one continent and day time on the other? If earth were flat then light would be distorted evenly over the surface meaning the when it day in the US it would be day in India. But its not. The earth, BEING ROUND, spins on it axis, meaning that one spot on the earth receives light while the other has spun away from facing the sun and is bathed in night.

Well my rant is done. My closing is that you people are idiots. I would also love to see (and laugh) at all the F's you received on your school report  cards. (if you even went to school). Oh and i want to congradulate you on you new jobs as the worlds biggest assholes.

Good day,

Motoman.

Now i'm not a flat earther, but this is just stupid, you are completely ignorant of flat earth theory.

Wait, How does the flat ear stop the bullet?  If the world is flat, then wouldn't it just keep going and going till it went off the earth, just like it would on a round earth you say

My friend sent me to this site to show me what idiots still plague the Earth today (e.g. conservatives, republicans, democrats, mimes, etc. :lol:), but I actually think this site is interesting, although I don't, nor will I ever, believe the Earth is flat.

Now, in reference to your question about the bullet...Ravingnutter presented the theory that it would continue to progress forward at it's same velocity until it approached the end of the Earth, and would then shoot off into space, thusly "stopping" the bullet. Of course, this would not happen if the theories presented in the FAQ of this site are true, because with the Earth rising as fast as it is, and with the bullet creating no upward thrust, the Earth would eventually "catch up" to the bullet and cause the bullet to land into the ground. If Ravingnutter's theory were correct, which he is most certainly not, the bullet would almost surely strike an object before it reached the edge of the Earth.


And in reference to Ravingnutter's theory that there must be White Holes and a Cold Sun because of Newton's laws of Physics, that is utter nonsense. According to the laws, there must be a opposite but equal reaction to every action. Neither the Sun nor Black Holes are actions, but objects. If we consider objects as actions, then shouldn't there also be a round Earth somewhere, if this Earth is indeed flat?

And what about galaxies? Have you seen the nucleus of a galaxy? The nucleus of the Milky Way is called "The big bulge". This is a giant sphere composed of light, gas, suns, dark matter and energy, and black holes. Now, enough about the nucleus. We can see the arms of galaxys disappear behind these nucli. This must mean that they are spinning. If they were flat, then they would get thinner as they spin, wouldn't they?

Looks like someone needs to take an astronomy class.  The Milky Way Galaxy (you know the one we are in) is a spiral galaxy.  IT IS FLAT.  It is not a sphere.

The Earth, and every other celestial body is round, and you have been proved wrong by their orbits and gravity itself.

I just showed you that not all bodies in the galaxy are round.  Gravity has nothing to do with objects being round.

Bing bang boom, proved wrong.

Yes, you have been.

This reminds me of multiverse theory.  I like that.  Maybe this website is just a spillover from an alternate earth.

As to all the rest it was so badly typed, spelt and punctuated that it is impossible to be sure what he meant.

I understood it and he's absolutely right.

Why did you post something that explains that all you who believe the earth is flat are crazy morons who were disproved in the 15th century?

because its true.

No, it isn't flat, it's more like disc-formed.

I assume you mean disk shaped.  Yea, that's what I was talking about.

The central bulge of the galaxy is spheroid in shape, though the rest of it is basically a disk. It's 100,000 ly across, the bulge is 10,000 ly thick and the disk is 1,000 ly thick. The galaxy is most certainly not flat.

the milky way cannot exist in the FE model if everything is supposed to be 3000 miles away.
we are supposed to be in it!
