Hello there,
I have been following along with the flat earth discussion for a year or two now, and as a writer it's really intrigued me. I'm probably leaning more towards flat earth being the reality, having seen what I've seen in my lifetime so far, with all of the lies we're already fed in our modern society making it more and more plausible.
So, I had a theory myself and I'm sure many people might have thought of this before. It's not the most scientifically explainable theory as it is mentally explainable, and it is a theory that will leave a lot of people feeling lonely. You might know where I'm about to go with this...
Imagine that everything exists within a vast infinite multi-dimensional space. One person coincides within Dimension A, in where flat earth exists. Another person coincides within Dimension B, in where planets exist. Imagine that the objective is a result of multiple mental beings producing from the subjective. The objective is in this theory a collective of the subjective.
One mental being, you, start to believe in the flat earth, the nature of the universe, and you can't find any evidence against it, because the objective evidence shifted as you shifted your consciousness, yourself, into Dimension A, in where it is the truth objectively.
In this theory, the objective is malleable, mold-able.
To start, when one has a dream for example, they can find themselves within a dimension in where the objective is much more malleable on a more obvious level. Sometimes, depending on the dream, if one thinks of a lion in their imagination, the lion appears right in front of them, or walks out of the bushes or what have you. This can be tested only personally through dream study, and the studies aren't really shareable with anyone outside of your own personal mind, as only you know what you saw.
What if, this dimension that we find ourselves in right now, is the same as the dimensions that we find ourselves in within our dreams, it just has properties that make it 'more solid', slower in nature and have more limited rules?
What if, the aliens that we've seen (those spaceship balls that float above crop circles and the like) are not from outer space (as in far far away space-wise), but instead of from another dimension that's simply taking up the same exact location as our own, but existing at another level? What the spaceships are coming from the same space, then, instead of from 'outer space', just existing on another level? In other words, the theory of parallel dimensions, RATHER than anything being located far far away space-wise.
Flat earth can work completely consistently with this theory especially, as you could say that the current dimension we find ourselves in is created from the inside out, so it stretches outward, as it's a mental projection spanning outward from a single central point. As a video game developer, creating in a 3d space, you start from the center creating a map and work your way outward. Perhaps the map has been created only as far as the ice wall, and from there spans into other dimensions, with other parallel or probable humanities. It may feel lonely at first, but in reality the theory would mean that we truly are not alone in any sense. Maybe, instead of that, it's like a bunch of 3d maps, all spanning from the center point outward. 3d spaces on the computer always work this way, spanning from a central point. I would call it something like....the 'central point' theory...I don't know. This is all really interesting and really inspiring to think about.
It's a theory that's quite out there, along with "this is all a dream right now", although there isn't really any way of disproving it, as in this theory, everything is happening from the inside out as a mental projection.
If this theory were true, then both a dimension in where the earth is flat exists, and a dimension in where the earth is round within an infinite amount of space exists.
Just a note, I'm not meaning to impress the idea upon anyone, and I'm not meaning to scare anyone, neither do I believe strongly in what I've just put out there. I'm just throwing it out there as an interesting thought.
