Is the earth flat?
« on: October 26, 2022, 07:06:39 PM »
Hi, im new to this website. I was wondering if the earth is truly flat. My uncle used to always tell me that the moon landing was fake and how he shined a laser on the moon and it didn't reflect. Growing up I always had thoughts about space and the moon, now that im grown and more mature I have realised the truth. I want more proof about it because my wife thinks im going insane and I need to prove her wrong before bad things happen.

Thanks, Lucas Miller

I can confirm this for you.
I have solid proof that the earth is flat.

Let me know if you want to know anything! :)

Hey Wolvaccine!

Im glad that I found someone who shares the same opinion as me.

Do you know about any other websites or internet pages that also support the flat earth theory?

The earth is definitely flat, as a child i was fooled into thinking that the earth was a 'sphere'. The whole earth sphere thing is a LIE, gravity doesn't exist, the sun and moon go up and down. My children will not be lied to like I was. O0

Here's my theory for the flat earth:

We are shaped like a disc, but facing towards the sun instead of the sun orbiting above us. The two hemispheres are on separate sides with rounded edges. The earth is spinning like a coin on a table, while being dragged along by the sun at 9.8m/s through the milky way.

All the "rain" is just ice meteors that came to close to the sun and melted, falling down onto our coin earth.

Any evidence that you "globe earthers" have that can disprove this would be highly appreciated, mostly because you don't have any.

I have complete proof regarding the shape of earth.
Have you looked at the ground? what shape is it? Flat.

Can you see a curve? no. But you can from space.
That is the circle shape of the earth. A sphere would make no sense.

Well you have one point over FEers, at least you don't think a sun or moon magically staying above Earth can appear to set.

I have solid proof that the earth is flat.

Let me know if you want to know anything! :)
I would love to see some of this proof.

We are shaped like a disc, but facing towards the sun instead of the sun orbiting above us. The two hemispheres are on separate sides with rounded edges.
You could say that. I would say the "rounded edges" have a radius of roughly 6370 km.

The earth is spinning like a coin on a table, while being dragged along by the sun at 9.8m/s through the milky way.
Do you mean 9.8 m/s^2, with the idea that that is replacing gravity?
If so, that only works for the side that is facing towards the direction it is being dragged.
The other side, would have things appear to accelerate up away from Earth.

Have you looked at the ground? what shape is it?
Quite irregular. It is bumpy, going up and down in various places.
It certainly isn't flat.

First off, the ground is pretty flat.
The distance between the bottom of the Mariana Trench and top of Mt Everest is only 12.3 miles, about 1/1000th the distance of the Great Wall of China.

The Moon is being pulled by the Sun with the Earth and exerts the same gravitational pushing force on the other side.

If you have any questions, then please ask.

Flat-earthers tried to prove the Earth was flat with a videotaped experiment and it did not go well

https://www.businessinsider.com/flat-earthers-tried-to-prove-the-earth-was-flat-and-it-did-not-go-well-2019-2

When the experiment began, the light didn’t appear on camera. A perplexed Jeran radioed Henrique to confirm the height of the light at 5.18 meters (17 feet) above sea level. On a flat Earth, he should be seeing the light. He then asked Henrique to lift the light above his head. Lo and behold, the light shined through.

“That’s interesting,” Jeran commented in the clip.

And you know what? It is interesting. This experimental set up has been a staple of flat-Earthers since 1836, when Samuel Birley Rowbotham first did it on the Old Bedford River. Time and time again, it has revealed the curvature of the Earth. Still, it is important to continue to repeat classic experiments as repetition is one of the cornerstones of science.



Please explain in terms of science and math how these experiments failed to prove the earth is spherical.

Not changing the subject to NASA lied, or how I’ve been tricked.  Especially after being in the Navy. 

If the earth is flat, what navy has better tactical advantage, better firing solutions, able to bring ships on station faster with less fuel because they treat the earth as flat?

No, it is pretty rough. Lots of hills and valleys and mountains.

If you want to go to a large scale, then the only observations we have of it show it is round, not flat.

The Moon is being pulled by the Sun with the Earth and exerts the same gravitational pushing force on the other side.
Gravity is a pulling force.

If you have any questions, then please ask.
We have. Where is your solid proof that Earth is flat?
This is a fairly simple question. Yet so far all you have been able to provide is the childish "it looks flat", when it doesn't.

What you see and what you think you see may be different. A person can be wrong with every sense. God is infallible in her words, and also does not deceive us.

If you act with your senses, you are more likely to make mistakes because every sense is easily manipulated. If you act with the words of God, you will find that you are in harmony with all the facts.

They'll make you realize that you made a mistake if you trusted your senses that the earth is flat. You know the earth is flat because God said so, and if you later try to discover it, then no one will be able to disprove you.

Your future is your own choice. Good luck.

Stop believing NASA and the governments LIES. Govern means control and ment means mental (MIND CONTROL).. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEM. Our society is too gullible, why do you continue to blindly listen to these false sources.  Also humans would fall off if there was no gravity?? Obviously.. I cannot believe this is the society that my children will grow up in.

A person can be wrong with every sense.
And you are a great example of that.

God is infallible in her words, and also does not deceive us.
And how do you know that?
How do you know a god even exists?
How do you know it isn't trying to deceive you if it does exist?
How do you know the information you allegedly got from this god wasn't actually from a person that was trying to deceive or mistaken?

The fundamental problem with appealing to a god as the only source of knowledge is how you know the knowledge you got was from this god.

If you act with the words of God, you will find that you are in harmony with all the facts.
If you act with the "words of God", you are more likely to be mistaken, as you are more likely to just be getting conned by someone.
Surely a god should be able to provide evidence to satisfy your senses.

You know the earth is flat because God said so, and if you later try to discover it, then no one will be able to disprove you.
See above.
All that means is you are going to be rejecting reality when people disprove you.

I don't believe that NASA is hiding anything, or that anyone has been tricked. What I'm almost certain of is that our planet looks like a circle, and that everyone has been seeing it wrong. The curvy horizon that weather balloons and rockets see when they travel thousands of feet into the sky is the bendy edge that goes around the rim of earth.

The experiments didn't fail, they just measured something that we didn't think could exist.
Here's more evidence for the coin earth.

The Sun illuminates exactly half of Earth, that being day and night. But a plane that is facing the Earth and spinning would make a lot more sense. How? Well, do this experiment. Shine a torch onto a ball. Does exactly half the ball light up? No. But with a similarly sized plate or flat surface, the front facing it is lit up. The other would be night.

Which sure sounds like you are saying they have all been tricked.


The issue is there are plenty of pictures from Earth, from lots of different angles, showing different portions of Earth.
And they all show a roughly circular outline.
That requires Earth to be roughly a sphere.

Here's more evidence for the coin earth.

The Sun illuminates exactly half of Earth, that being day and night.
You mean more evidence against it?

The sun illuminates just over half of Earth.
But importantly, you can't separate it as all of region A is illuminated from 6 AM to 6 PM UTC, and then the rest of Earth, region B is illuminated from 6 PM to 6 AM UTC.
Instead, the portion that is illuminated changes continually throughout the day, and changes between seasons. This results in many time zones around Earth, and the time of sun rise and sunset depending on your location quite a lot, and in a gradual manner.

This makes sense for a roughly spherical Earth, where as it rotates, the half that is towards the sun (up to 90 degrees away from the sub-solar point) will be illuminated.

But for a disc, it should be whichever side is pointing within 90 degrees of the sun should be illuminated, with it rapidly switching with that entire side going dark as the entire other side becomes light.
So this rules out the idea of a coin Earth.

Shine a torch onto a ball. Does exactly half the ball light up?
This depends. How large is your ball vs torch? How far away is it?
The amount that lights up depends on both those factors.
Replace the torch with a computer screen, and use a ball smaller than it.
See how much it can light up.

The sun is significantly larger than Earth, and very far away, so a small torch up close to a ball is not comparable.

My facebook group will be hearing about this, you 'spherical earthers' are all the same.. Screw science and listen to THE PEOPLE.
Considering you have already admitted that people are lying, and trying to con others, and that lots of people are gullible, why should I listen to the people?
Why shouldn't I instead try to obtain evidence?

I'll stick to science, rather than faith.

How are the results possible on a flat earth at different locations?  Not near the edge of the flat earth of the two listed experiments?


Quote

The Sun illuminates exactly half of Earth,

Except the tilted spherical earth between two different hemisphere’s (northern and southern) have changing periods of sunlight as the seasons change.  And when the northern hemisphere has shorter daylight hours for a given day, the Southern Hemisphere has longer day light hours for that same given day. 


Now.  Stop changing the subject.


I posted about two different experiments that are not anywhere near the edges of the “earth” and show the earth is spherical.

Maybe you need to draw out your “theory”.  Draw the shape you believe the earth to be and how these two experiments would work on that shape,  please include the location of the Rainy Lake Experiment.  I can look up lookup the location of the other experiment if you need it.

I didn't join this "society" to be called on alt account on my birthday.

Now I'm determined to prove I'm right.

First off, Susan, you are dead wrong in some spots. NASA and the Government have nothing to do with the flat Earth. It makes no sense. They would not gain any benefit from it.

I think that we just haven't realized the truth about our planet yet. With visual observations from the ground, we can see a flat shape. And from space, we see a flat plane, facing towards the spacecraft. The visual observations already disprove a globe earth, but lets move on.

The reason that the two hemispheres see different stars is because they are looking different ways. I would like to mention that the coin earth is tilted 23.5 degrees just like a globe earth would expect. This would also account for the seasons that we experience throughout the year.

The Coriolis Effect occurs when air moves away from the curved border due to the spinning of the coin.
