Question
« on: June 19, 2007, 11:01:22 PM »
I'm new here. I don't want to post a thread speaking ill against any of you, especially like the one that goes..."you guys are all retarded". Flat Earth is completely new to me. I thought that entire theory was ended after the Christopher Columbus days. My friend showed me this site, discussing how crazy you all are. I have to say that I am one to poke my nose into the bee's nest.

Has anyone ever found full blown truth to this theory? When you speak of a 60,000 mile ice wall, is it completely around the earth, or are there openings? When I thought of that, the triangle in the Atlantic came to mind. Loss of ships, planes, and people.

I really would like to hear of people trying to put this myth on the balance beam by traveling to the end of the earth. I feel as if some of you take this theory and replace it with a cult. I am not here to bash any of you. I would really like to see what all of you have to say because this topic really interests me. So please try to understand that I am ignorant to the whole thought of the earth being flat. Thanks.

Yes, the ice wall surrounds the earth, otherwise, all the water would leave us.  That triangle is a regular area, of what I know it's just a myth that an excessive amount of things go down or get lost there.

There is plenty of 'evidence'. But it is all either equally or more effectively explained by the RE theory. There are experiments which attempted to prove the earth flat, many of which were flawed in some way. There are also holes in the FE theory that can't be filled in. Some because FEers haven't figured out the answer, some because there isn't an answer and the Earth is round.

But when we have earthquakes wouldn't it hit the end of the Earth? The wohle earth is made of plates. Soo those ice-walls would've already came down. Also water would be leaving us. The plates move everyday. May be bareley a milimeter but they move everyday. So if that happens Somwhere along the icewall it will be interrupted and will be broken thus creating holes for water to leak out.

Well, they obviously haven't come down yet, so there must be something holding them up.

Well if it has been held up tell me how it has. If you all know about FE then actually tell me the answers to my questions. Because there isn't anything blocking it. Physics happens and there has been earthqueaks close to the end of the earth and without a doubt hit it. Also just think in the prehistoric age. Think. The land masses were ONE big mass they split up. That splitting would've caused the ends of the earth to push out and split thus leaving no water.

To be fair, he doesn't have to. There may be some external force we don't know about. He should probably hypothosise though, just to give us something else to talk about.

Ok Septical I understand that too. A few months back FE'rs myight remeber me as a stupid kid but now i'm pretty smart. I know what i'm talking about and i guess we don't know but if we don't then i understand that you all don't know. But if you think laws of motion apply where something continues to move unless an oppisite force pushes on it. So the only way is that if the whole entire ice wall is making a convergent boundaries against all plates then i would see why it doesn't leak.

One theory that has been put forward in the past is that the Ice wall is a separate 'plate'. Not a plate as such, more of a ring. The idea is that the other plates have just enough space to move around, but it requires them to go slowly and chip away at each other.

Alright, I'm also not an FEer. I personally don't think that theory holds much water, however it is the best one I've been exposed to while a member here.
