Earth is not flat nor round. It's a triangle.

Prove me wrong. I'll answer to any question.

Basically, Earth is a triangular shape. The surface is shaped like a triangle. Below the surface, there are rocks, of course. Imagine a pyramid turned upside down, but only the  top surface is flat, while the other sides are irregular rocks.

Impossible. Want an explanation?

There is a force of field along the edge of the Earth. Nobody knows why, but it's there. Some people thinks is a conspiracy. Anyways, if you go too close to the edge (like a few hundred miles away), that force will corrupt any picture taken and disturb electronical equipment.

Also, I might as well mention, there is a strong current in the water that will drag us over the edge if we get any closer than we're supposed to. That's why no one goes nere the edge. The current begins at a location at which is too far from the edge for taking a photo. No boats can get close enough, since they will be dragged over the edge.

So, there's no photos. I wish there were, but there's not. :(

You earlier stated that the earth was not pyramid shaped, but triangular.  The base of a pyramid (the commonly known kind anyway) is a square, not a triangle.

Wouldn't this current cause all the water to drain off the earth?

Firstly, why does the pyramid have to have 5 faces (including the base)? could there not (in theory) be a 4 faced (including the base) pyramid? (creating a 3 edged or triangular base):roll:

Also, the water is obviously replenished by rain, snow melting into rivers into the sea etc etc :wink:

Kind of hard to explain. You're right. A cone would be a more proper description. Imagine a cone, turned upside-down, with a triangular top surface (= Earth surface).

No. The water evaporates at the edge of Triangular Eeart (TE). (That's another reason for why there are no photos taken from helicopters or airplanes: A thick mist of evaporated water covers the edge, miles long. A photo of mist would prove nothing.)

It doesn't though, it's a parody. FE has a developed scientific model which doesn't contradict itself and adequately explains many scientific phenomena, TE has nothing except a few poorly exectued rips at FE.

In what way is FET more scientifically reliable than TET?
And for that matter, TE theory is not made up. If you insist that it is, then feel free to post any arguments or evidence that disproves of TE.

1) What is science, dogplatter?
2) FE does contradict itself. It's been well proven over and over again here. Where does TE theory contradict with itself? I am dying for a quote.
3) In what way is TE a ripoff of FE?

I don't recall hearing any well-established claims that FE theory is logically inconsistent.  Most people just claim that it contradicts reality.

I don't know about you, but that's a contradiction to me.

Also, FE'ers take FE theory for granted, but keep insisting that it's a theory. Science and theory are two seperate things. Theory is "pre-science".

Now, let's stay on topic in the future.

Not the same thing. Saying Earth is flat when all other planets are round, is like saying there would be flat apples along with round apples (which there aren't).

Don't misuse logics.

Quote from: "Erasmus"


That's gibberish.  Especially the second part.

Someone gets a theory. Like, if someone starts thinking "What if the Earth is round(or flat)?". It stays a theory until he finds enough evidence to prove the theory. It then becomes science. I read this in a science book, but, of course, it's still gibberish.

Quote from: "Dogplatter"

As I said, we've already gone through this a hundred times. I'll summarize, just in case, but lets not change the subject of this topic afterwards:

Other planets are round, you can see them rotate with a telescope (and, no, the faces are not just "floating" or "reshaping" or anything like that. They're rotating: So they're round.) Would they rotate if they were flat, we should clearly be able to see the side or back of those flat planets at different occasions. And, if they were flat, there still lies the unasnwered question on why they are always facing the Earth.


Quote from: "EnragedPenguin"

Wow, that's news to me. Where did you get this information?  :o

TE is not flat on the surface.
But I'll admit that TE has an edge. Still no ripoff, just a coincidence. *blink*

"Contradiction" is a well-defined term in logic, and you are misusing it.  The discrepancy that you are bringing up is merely a surprising asymmetry, not a contradiction.

So like the Theory of Relativity or the Theory of Electromagnetism -- that's not science?  Do you also want to say that the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is not science?  Whose side are you on, anyway?
