Air, and how it contradicts a flat earth
« on: March 18, 2007, 04:25:42 PM »
1) Air is a gas. We all know that gases expand until they reach some sort of barrier. In an RE, this barrier is the Ozone layer/gravitational pull. In a Flat Earth...
No barrier. Thusly, air would expand and flow off of the edge of the Flat Earth as it is propelled through the universe. We'd be leaking air... but we arn't!
Explain why we arn't all suffocating.
(If you say the same force that propels us through the universe also keeps it in, you'd be wrong because that force would push the air easier than the Earth, and would take away air from us)

2) If we are accelerating, air pressure would increase rapidly as the Earth would constantly apply more pressure to the air, and would slowly squeeze it - if the air somehow had a way of being held in on the sides. Aircraft's cielings at which they could fly would decrease, and we would slowly be crushed under air pressure. Eventually, the air would be compressed to the point where it would combust, and we'd all die.
Explain why this does not happen, if the Earth is flat.

Who said there was no ozone layer in a FE?

The Ozone layer would drift away as well. It's not a solid, and it'd have nothing to keep it there.
The ozone layer is just a O3 gas layer floating on top of the air. It doesn't actually do enough to keep it in.

You're the only FE'er that believes in it, because, if gravity existed, the earth would be a ball, not a disk.

Please do explain how a mass of INFINITE LENGTH would generate the gravitational vectors needed for collapse. The gravity on both sides is BY DEFINITION equal!

You do not follow the same FE beliefs of other FE'ers.
Honestly, you're just a moron.

Actually, Tom Bishop agrees with me.

And yes, I am a moron because I refuse to follow the religion you all follow. Good going, troll. Get off this fucking board.

RE is not a religion.
If the earth is a disk, actual gravity would have the greatest pull in the center.

Wrong. As I keep repeating to you ignoramuses, an infinite plane has equal gravity on each side, by definition. That is what "infinity" means. So get outta here.

But I'm a skeptic, and therefore welcome.  You, sir, are not a happy person.  Go see a movie.  300 was great.  I think you'd like it.  I believe the Spartans thought the world was flat, too.  You'd like them.

Actually, I think the Spartans were pretty sure that the Earth was round, too. What with logic and reasoning. That WAS a cool movie, though. I heard Xerxes was in Lost. :o

You're right.  They did believe it was round.  So nevermind, don't see 300.  They were RE'ers.  But man...they kicked ass.  I think we should form a Spartan Phalanx group to combat the demons of Hell that will attack our planet in a mere 91 years.  What say you, SNB?

As awesome as a movie 300 was, this isn't the place to talk about it.   ;D

Once again:
1) Why doesn't the air flow off the sides of the flat earth? This is the first time I've heard the "The flat earth goes on forever." I believe it was actually Franc that proposed there are people on the other side, at least at some point, for the government to trade with and somehow get money from...
2) Why doesn't the air crush us under the pressure of an ever accelerating earth/combust and burn us all?

Yes, that is correct. Air does not flow off the sides because there are no sides.

But i thought the FE theory was that the world is a flat disc with an ice wall surrounding it to stop the water draining off the planet. So if the world is infinate doesn't that disprove your ice wall and with the snowballing effect disprove your whol theory? Mate you call RE a religion its not its common sense, But FE that a god damn CULT!!

The Ice Wall's role is not to "stop the water draining off." It just delimits our local area. Like how mountain ranges delimit some countries.

So please explain this infinte plane as the FE FAQ says says that the earth is 78225 miles in diameter.  Clearly you disagree with the primary FE theory.

Also, as the FAQ states..."...the sun and moon..." not the suns and moon.
