How thick is a flat Earth?
« on: June 09, 2006, 09:34:44 PM »
Hypothetically, if the Earth is flat, then how thick is it? How far can you, say, dig, before you come to the "other side." Is there a mantle and core to a flat Earth, or only the outer crust that a round Earth shows?

If this has already been answered somewhere before, go ahead and answer it again.

The earth is quite thick, and you would dig yourself to hell. Hell is muchlike the largest rubbish dump on earth, except the only rubbish there is sinners. Piles upoun mountain upoun everests upoun oceans of sinners. And ofcourse in the middle of all this, is Hells castle - also known as the headquarters of evil(tm).
Enjoy your stay.

Oh, okay.

I'd like a reply from someone who believes in a flat Earth.

Well obviously it has to be thick enough to have a mantle, otherwise plate tectonics wouldn't work.
A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

Okay, how thick is the flat Earth supposed to be? Is there a core? If there's a core, would the mantle not continue to the "underside," as well as the crust?

ive heard FE people tlaking about the mantle of the earth, so this should be an interesting post
 am the center of the universe

I'd assume that it's like one of those tasty Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  The crust is the chocolate, while the peanut butter is the mantle.  Unless you get gyped and you end up without any peanut butter, but just a hollow hole in your candy...bastards...

Of course, if whatever force is accelerating the earth is balanced on all the sides on the cylinder upon which the earth rests, other than the top, then the mantle could be exposed on the bottom...but I'd imagine it would cool to form crust, unless the pressure caused by the force pushing on it caused enough heat to keep it from cooling, of course.

I don't think that the acceleration of a flat Earth upwards would keep crust from forming on the "underside." If there's crust atop the planet, that almost guarantees that there's crust at the bottom.

Is there a Universal answer as to how thick flat Earth is?

You have to understand, there is no universal answer for any of the FE theories, its just that, theories. Now there may be an answer that is widely accepted by the FE community, but if you ask all these people, there take on it varies from one person to another.

If the forces bordering the circumfrence of the cylinder that is mantle were balanced, it's possible that the would put enough pressure on the mantle that it would remain liquid...of course this much pressure would probably also squeeze the mantle out through the crust.

Having no way of testing it's thickness; no.

OMG...This has to be the most complete sentence Luke has ever written!  Maybe his idiosy was like a fever and it has finally started to break!

surely if the earth had thickness it wouldn't be... you know... flat.

sorry being pedantic.


would be interesting though, life without the z-axis. would make quantum mechanics and relativity a lot easier....

I'd like a reply from someone who believes in a flat Earth.

I beleive in the factual flat-earth and flat-hell, both facts compliment eachother. Any questions refer to [pm].
