I'm back! And I have a question...
« on: January 24, 2011, 11:12:45 PM »
So if the earth was flat, how thick would it be? Like 1 inch or like 10 feet or what?

So far as I can tell, it has to be thicker than the deepest man has ever dug because we haven't hit the other side yet...

Scepti, this idiocy needs to stop and it needs to stop right now. You are making a mockery of this fine forum with your poor trolling. You are a complete disgrace.

How about you start digging? Seriously, 1 inch? 

Read the FAQ please.

Why do we fall back to earth? Because our weight pushes us down, no laws, no gravity pulling us. It is the law of intelligence.

'Thickness' implies a finite measure. The Earth extends forever.

It is the most rational inference which can be borne of experience and reason.

In other words, none.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I could create a thread detailing the evidence of the infinite FET, but I'm sure I would only be repeating what has been said many times before.

In other words, no one else has any evidence of an infinite flat earth either.  Thanks again for the clarification.

On the contrary, I would be happy to write a discourse in defence of infinite FET. But I would do it only on the not unreasonable condition that you try to put aside your cynicism (that life-blood and defence-mechanism of RET belief), and keep your mind open to the wonderful, intuitive truths with which you find yourself confronted.

I would look forward to reading it.  Obviously I am skeptical of FET, but I do consider myself fairly open minded and if you can provide some compelling evidence supporting your position, then I would be willing to acknowledge it as such.  However, you may want to consult with Username (John Davis) to determine if Gauss's Law of gravitation applies to your model.

The Earth does not have a thickness.Meaning? It is infinite? BTW ,what are all those little round things we see in the night sky? Some call them stars,planets and such. Are they light bulbs? Where does the power come from?

Now that I would be interested in reading.
Even though I'm strictly RE, I have said before the best thing for FET would be some properly written papers to try and provide evidence.  Not just ramblings on a website.

Should you decide to write, I will happily review prior to publication.  I must note, that as a scientist, personal beliefs do not factor into a professional review.

Unfortunately it will be some time before I can commit to such a task. I have a dissertation due next month, followed by a slew of essay deadlines and finals in April/May. However, in the meantime I shall invest careful consideration into this.
