Are there more Discworlds?

 Simple question, are there many discworlds, or are we special?

Statistics say that there are more flat, earthlike objects in space, yes. However, no one has found one yet as they (if they exist) are very, very far away.

 So would it not be a too stranger concept to suggest the existence of extraterrestrial life then?

I don't think it would.

Can I see the source of these statistics please? Or a link to the research please?

Hopefully you have access, otherwise you will have to do with the abstract

On the early history of the law of large numbers

how is this statistics for other disc worlds in a universe? im still waiting for the statistics.

You don't understand big numbers?

you said statistics say their are more disc worlds? now where are your numbers to back this up? i dont need explaining how statistics work. remember that statements like that need evidence to back them up, scientific prof? posting a link describing how statistics work is not the same as showing evidence of how their are statistically more disc worlds out their. so plzzz im still waiting for the statistics.

We know there is the flat earth. We also know that the universe is so huge that it might as well be infinitely huge, with an infinite amount of objects in it. The chance that, given an infinite amount of objects, there are more objects which are earth-like in space approaches 1. Read the article.

 Beorn is only quoting the same statistics mathematicians used to identify the amount of civilizations in the universe. I just wanted to see if to believe in flat earth, you had to believe the earth was unique.

It has been proposed that there may be other disks below us also accelerating do to UA. On the infinite earth model, there is no reason to think that there aren't other "suns" circling above other areas of the infinite plane as well.

does that mean that in a infinite universe their is a planet called earth that is a globe? 
i mean if the universe is infinite with an infinite amount of variations then some where out thier their must be a round earth?

I wouldn't be earth, because there is only on earth as that is the name we give to this specific flat object we're living on.
And it doesn't work like that. Since we haven't found any round planets with life on them, we can't know if there are any planets in the universe that are round and have life on them. Also, from our experience from earth it would pretty unlikely that the environment on a round planet would ever be favorable for life.

what about the fact that all the other planets in our solar system are round?

I'm pretty sure most if not all FE people believe planets are spheres.

extract from FET wiki describing plaets as round
http://theflatearthsociety.org/wiki/index.php?title=Planets

 so if our planets is flat and all the others are round then statistically their are far more round planets than disc ones?

what about the fact that all the other planets in our solar system are round?

The earth is not a planet.

well depends on your interpretation of the definition of a planet.
but lets stick to statistics. so we have a sol with in flat earth theory, 7 planets ( - Pluto, not a planet) and 1 "disc world"
so statistically planets are far more common than disc worlds. so once again i ask for the research that describes disc worlds as more common? so just post it below when your ready Beorn  thanx again

When did I say that "disc world" is more common?

okay miss read your post but your post does say statistics say their are more disc worlds but as it stands statistics say their is 1 disc world and that is it. no evidence for any more.

The earth is not part of the solar system. The solar system is tiny and whirls closely above the earth's enormous mass.

The earth is not a planet.

So you are saying their is only one disc world and no others?

I don't believe that the earth is a disc. The earth is an infinite plane which bisects the universe. There are no others.

So your stance is that their are no other disc worlds out their?

The earth is not a disc world.

We are talking about the world being a discs and the fact that statistics apparently show thier are many more disc worlds out their.

Also this post does in fact describe the earth as a disc world.

Jesus Christ man, this is so freeking ridiculous. Disc like objects in space? This goes against all known laws of physics. Look there can only be two possibilities and two realistic models. Either the space is filled with spheres and the earth is a globe or there is no space as we know it, and earth is an infinite plane, with all sky objects serving geocentric purpose. I suscribe to infinite earth theory, the disc with edges is dark ages.

We are talking about the world being a discs and the fact that statistics apparently show thier are many more disc worlds out their.

Statistics also says that you are an illiterate Chinese laborer. What matters is what you know and see.

Look at your window and decide whether you see an ending or unending earth.

 Wouldn't an infinitely sized disc need an infinite force to drive it, as it would have an infinite mass?

Yes it would and we all know energy isn't infinite. Apart from Tom perhaps?

I think flat earthers need to get their story's straight. Every one seems to have a different idea on shape compisiton size. At less in a round earth everyone belives the same thing.

Oh and we have a map lol 

 Looking into it further an infinite force would merely hold the earth stationery or in a constant motion, according to newton's 1st law, ergo any acceleration would be impossible thus the illusion of gravity would not be possible either.
