Flat Earth

Alright, I'm new to this Flat  Earth Theory and I've been thinking: if the Earth was really flat, how do you explain gravity?  I mean, if Earth was flat, the Earth would change itself into a sphere because of gravity originating form the core of the Earth.  It would want to pull the Earth inward toward itself (the core).

Gravity as you have been taught does not exist.  The reason that your feet stick to the ground is because the Earth is accelerating upwards towards you at 9.8 m/s/s. 

Then, if there is no gravity, why does the moon remain is its orbit?  It is gravity that holds the moon in its revolution around Earth.  Also, what pushes the Earth up, eh?

I seems likely that the UA forms an eddie as it collapses after passing around the Earth.  This swirling eddie carries all of the heavenly bodies. 

the same wake, cause by the UA keeps the moon, sun, stars, and plants circling above the Earth, it is also keeping man made satellites circling above as well.

And do you subscribe to the Davis Plane or Dark Energy theories as the driving mechanism of UA? same question for iwanttobelieve

I don't like the term "Dark Energy" to describe the force behind the UA simply because it gets confused with the RE dark energy, which is a horse load of sh*t.  However, I believe there is a little understood force that accelerates everything in the universe upwards at the same rate.

Ok, now i'm wondering, if UA swirls and eddies after it passes the Earth, which then carries all the heavenly bodies, what happened to the reflections on the dome idea. Just asking.

There are differences in our individual views.
There is no official flat Earth model on this forum. I mean, many things are similar or exactly the same in some of our beliefs, but all of our beliefs and views are not 100% the same.
The dome is nonsense.

How can we believe in a theory when not even its supporters agree on basic things like what are the stars?

Why should we believe in RET when your scientists can not even agree on the most basic things, like gravity?

They agree on the actions of gravity, at least at the level us humans live in.  There is a model that makes robust predictions, which is used every day by engineers as well as scientists.

As to what causes gravity...there is nothing "basic" about that at all - it is one of the many secrets of the universe people attempt to unlock.  It is really, really hard and fantastically complicated.  Many things in real life are.

When it comes to actual "basic things", such as the shape of the planet, there is 100% agreement.

Why should we believe in RET when your scientists can not even agree on the most basic things, like gravity?

Why should anyone believe in FET when your followers can not even agree on the most basic things, like a map?

See what I did there?

The effects of gravity are perfectly known for our scientists. We can calculate the force of gravity produced by two objects depending on their mass and distance, for example. We can't explain what causes it, we can only especulate. By the way do you Flat Earthers know what causes UA?
In your case, some believe that the stars are actually there magically orbiting, others believe that the stars are just projections. Well that seems like a major disagreement.
And of course, like Umurweird said, you don't even have a map of the Flat Earth (not a correct one at least).

I am not talking about the effects, I am talking about the cause. 

I am not talking about the effects, I am talking about the cause.

For one I would like to know what is the cause of the UA from below the FE.

It is too late for this discussion besides we had it before.

Maybe you can let someone else have this discussion, then?

Air pressure/density.  Simple.

Please don't really go full scepti.

Too late.      

You sheeple just need to pull your heads out of the sand and realise Rowbottom was only half right.  He worked out the flat nature of the plane we live on, however he never quite got to work out the ice dome.  This is understandable, given the primitive equipment and LOGIC available to him in Victorian Britain.  If only he could have been admitted to the Royal Society (bastards)  - he may have had the resources to work the whole thing out.

As it is, he was a mere prophet.  Sceptimatic is the second coming.

I like that! scepti is the second going on and on and on!

At least CrabbyJim does not seem as mad when he is being sceptimatic.  A win for everyone.

A net gain for our wonderful society. 

Another win for the FES.
