Answer this and stay fashionable.

Why would the governments of the world not prefer to explore the "dark matter" propelling the flat earth, the energy holding the sun and moon above us, the forces holding up a 50,000 foot high sheet of ice and everything else outside of the boundries of our pancake home, to further our knowledge of the universe and invent highly advanced technolagies far superior to our current. Instead, you think that as soon as the RE theory was plausable enough to be true, the world authorities (whoever they were back then) decided "No, I think we should keep it a seceret so we can spend the money on guards, bribes, man hours (someone has to make those pictures coming from the ISS, moon, mars etc...) and fake technology to make the conspiracy more plausable.

Have any of you thought of getting a head check? Just to be absolutley sure their is nothing wrong with you?

Unless you think like Gulliver, Dark Matter is not exactly easy to explore.

Ok, now how about someone who can read past a comma answer my question.

I have an addition as well: Why would the governments of the world also want to send their own citizens to fight and die in a pretend war, all to make an unnecessary conspiracy more believable.

Because they hate the Bible and truth.

Shut up creature stop stirring.

Rentacow you need to read some previous pposts- some hold dark matter to be intraversible. Others say it is useless. If so, why explore?

Who says they don't explore those things in various ways? Why exactly would they tell us about it if they did?

This is utter nonsense. How in the hell is their a north pole but not a south pole, not on the earth, but the celestial sphere. I assume that people have indeed see the southern cross, seeing as they have its coordinates and all, and I will account for Polaris. Do I even need to point out the flaw? You cannot explain this unless the earth were a sphere.

Why they would tell you:
1) Because if they were a FE'er, this would make their belief impossible.
2)Because if they were a RE'er, this would make your belief impossible.

Believing in something that has been proven incorrect is insanity. It's one thing to theorize, it means your willing to find out how valid your theory is. It's another thing to believe something that is not possible. If I said Germany had won world war one, would you not think I was a nut job?

What's with the 'fashionable' in the topic?

"Proven incorrect" is meaningless, since science is constantly changing and revising itself. By your rationale, we may just as well have stopped investigating once we decided plague could be prevented with bird suits and the human body was just a single vessel filled with blood. Nothing is "proven incorrect", especially not the shape of the Earth.

If you don't have an answer to the question, please:


Dogplatter, what do you call a scientist that studys the shape of the earth? I'm talking about sphere vs. flat, BTW, so if you say "geologist" I will virtually bitch slap you.

It's been obvious for awhile now that it is impossible for the earth to be flat, yet you still cannot look at the evidence. IT'S EASY! WALK YOUR ASS OUT SIDE AT NIGHT AND LOOK SOUTH! DO YOU SEE THE SOUTHERN CROSS? No, if you live in the northern hemisphere you can't! No conspiracy, no ice wall, no turtles, no flat earth! It's only going to be time that will make you realize this.

Shut up creature stop stirring.

Rentacow you need to read some previous pposts- some hold dark matter to be intraversible. Others say it is useless. If so, why explore?

That's good logic! It's like Venus, their is no surface to land on (for more than a few minutes), it would be nearly impossible for it to support life. It's just a ball of hot gas with some lava on the surface, so why bother?

Why bother about Venus...because it is there and that is why we care about Venus.

The Southern Cross is visible in the Northern Hemisphere.  I think in latitudes of less than about 30⁰.  But I'll let you look it up.

I had assumed you would get off your ass and find out your own info. Had you done so, you would find various posts on the subject saying things like 'we know what it's made of, it's useles to man' or some such crap. I don't ctually believe it, but it is a valid counter to your arguement.

Don't be such a rude piece of shit. And don't get smart with me, I'll win the arguement.

Sounds like a challenge you dont want to get into skeptical. there are some nasty people on this board. just warning you

You forget how ridiculously arrogant I am. However, unlike most arrogant people, I have good reason.

I guarantee you arent the only arrogant one around here  but have fun if thats what your looking for

Nah, tbh, if this guy actually does start mouthing off at me I'll just beat him off and ignore him, I'm recovering from illness currently so don't hve the energy for troll flaming.

I'm in the process of eating a nice juicy steak and it gives me something to giggle at when people start arguing over such a stupid subject :] sorry your sick though

Sorry, didn't see your sarcasm...being blind and all 

Thanks Jenova, and lol Geordi.

Of course, I still 'dragged' myelf to see Muse at Wembley on Sunday. Now that was a rock concert!

Add another one to questions unexplained by the flat earth.

Well, not unexplained, undecided. We have possible theories, not definite ones. Send them to Gulliver, he'll want to put something about them in his primer.

I would think it very likely that, IF the earth is flat, the governments of most (maybe all) the countries, and the industries, would be intent on exploring the Edge, the Barrier, the Dropping-Off Line, whatever you wanna call it.  Because beyond that point, over the side or wherever, there may be new resources - petroleum or gold or something we aren't even familiar with, and maybe entirely new life forms ... maybe even sentient beings, maybe land open for population and cultivation.

If the earth is, as the vast majority of educated people think, round, then scientists are interested in more studies of climate and meteorology, earth sciences, and the like, as well as the details of the physics of space travel to the moon and the nearest planets, and studies of cosmic radiation and solar energy and flares.

Correct,  you can see the Southern Cross from the Northern Hemisphere,  up to 25 degrees North of the Equator,  but only for part of the year,  I can see it all year round.

On the other hand,  I can see the South Celestial Pole,  whereas you can't see that in the Northern Hemisphere beyond slightly North of the Equator.

erm...

Poster said it had no solid surface and couldn't land on it.

There's a couple of photos of a solid surface taken by something that landed on it.

Your point?
