Alrighty. So I talked to a friend about this place and we came up with some questions that we'd like the Flat Earth Society to explain from their perspective. She had a bunch of great ideas, but many of them I was able to explain using your guys logic and what I've read, but there were a few I jotted down that I couldn't come up with an answer for.
1. Why do coordinates work? The system the world uses applies to a round system. If you tell an airplane your exact coordinates, they'll get there in the time alotted by that system.
2. What's keeping the air on earth (applies somewhat to question 3)? There is no gravity. The world is simply accelerating upwards. What's stopping it from rolling off the sides?
3. Is there an o-zone layer? How does it work? My friend drew some diagrams I shall provide below (badly) with explanations.
Alright. If there is an o-zone layer, the thing is it'd have to be an absolutely perfect fit, like in the first image. If it overshoots it at all, there will be water loss and eventually the earth would dry up over much time. If it undershoots, well, that's bad too. Of course, that only applies to the RE thing, now that I think about it. What is causing global warming then?
4. How does star navigation work then? People have used it forever in sailing. It wouldn't work like that with the flat earth model.
5. If are all the stars are 3100 miles up (I believe that was the number)...how does the Triangulation Theory work?
6. If the sun and moon are on opposite ends, why can you see both in the sky at the same time? And if the reason if night and day is the sun getting further away, why doesn't the sun get smaller as it gets further? It stays roughly the same size until it disappears on the horizon.
7. How does radar work? With rader, people can prove they are flying/sailing in a straight line.
8. How is there magma under the flat earth? The reason there is magma in the earth is that the entire weight of the world is shoving down into a single point, creating heat and making the center liquid. What is keeping the middle of the flat earth nice and hot?
She has plunty of others, but we didn't have time. I'd really love explanations. I haven't seen any for those around here.
