What is behind Flat Earth?

What is behind flat earth? Is it possible to get there without drilling through the earth?

Turtles.

Probably rocks.

Probably rocks.

well... yeah but what else besides rocks, minerals, and molten rock (probably)?

My understanding is elephants.

I wonder why no FlatEarther has addressed this question.

I wonder why you didn't read the entire thread.

Was that directed to me?  Are you referring to your Feb 21"Probably rocks"?  Was that supposed to be a serious answer?  "Rocks"? 

What else do you expect there to be on the other side? Of course it is a serious answer.

OK, rocks.

How far out from the "bottom" of the earth do the rocks extend?  Hundreds of miles?  Millions of miles?  Do they form a cylinder shape with a diameter of the flat earth?
Do they form a cone shape that expands farther and farther outward?

How do you know they are rocks?  Couldn't it just be nothing? Couldn't it be a fine powdered dust?  Couldn't it be water?

The answer(s) is unknown to FE.

However, according to the other society, Dark Energy is on the underside thrusting the flat plane of earth upward causing a gravity effect. But it seems the broader FE community rejects that theory in its entirety.

You could look up the definition of "probably".

OK.  I do know the definition, but, for the record...
prob·a·bly
/ˈpräbəblē/
 adverb
almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell.

So why do you think it is probably rocks? 
So why do you think it is almost certainly rocks?

What evidence is there to support that view?
If you have none, then it is not a probability, it is a WAG...

Acronym of wild-assed guess.
Noun
WAG
(informal, business or military slang, US) A wild-assed guess

Also, as I asked before...

How many blades of grass exist in Africa?
Just because you can formulate a question does not make the discovery of an answer feasible.
Rocks would exist on the bottom of a flat earth as the Earth is composed of rock, and there's no reason to suppose it would be any different. Water would be hard to justify given that it would be leaking out, given how gravity typically functions under FE - ice might be possible, but would be weird given the fact that things get warmer as you get lower. So, with all the observations of things that are naturally part of the Earth, rock is what comes out on top (or on bottom, if you prefer).
The precise depth, shape, texture, nature would require a giant drill in order to find. Provide one, and we'll see what happens.

- Most likely rocks. But currently unknown.
- Considering the deepest bore hole is 40,230 ft; 7.619 mi, the material extends somewhere north (or south, depending upon how you look at it) of 7.619 mi.
- Shape? Most likely rocky.

Jane, always posting the easiest questions to answer. Obvi, the answer is, "More than 1 and less than infinity"

Nonsense.  We know blades of grass exist in Africa.  We don't know "What is behind Flat Earth?"  We know Africa exists.  We don't know there is a "behind".

Silliness.  Just as the whole FE concept is.  You all have nothing except your religious indoctrination, your silly conspiracy theories, and a boring level of imagination that you use to prop up your silly beliefs.

Let's say we could dig a hole to the center and back out until we came out the other side of the spherical earth.  You FEers would say it's not real.  You haven't been allowed to travel through it.  You would just do the same thing you do now, deny, deny, deny.

Nonsense.  We know blades of grass exist in Africa.  We don't know "What is behind Flat Earth?"  We know Africa exists.  We don't know there is a "behind".

So your question is not "What is behind the flat Earth?" it is "Prove that the Earth is flat."
If the Earth is flat, then odds are pretty good it has an underside.

I'm not a flat earther. Your question is just bad.

What you are saying is that behind the bottom is just more bottom!  That doesn't really make it behind the bottom, it makes it part of the bottom.
 

So your question is not "What is behind the flat Earth?" it is "Prove that the Earth is flat."
If the Earth is flat, then odds are pretty good it has an underside.

It's not my question, It was raised by @Dr Round.
 
I would never ask for proof.  Just evidence that is more compelling than evidence for the alternative.

Why is there confusion between "behind" and "an underside"?  Do you not understand that the two are completely different perspectives?

Context clues indicates by 'behind' he means 'other side.' We're talking about the same thing, just with different terminology.
If you want completely different perspectives, look at shifting focus from "What is behind the flat earth?" to "But is the earth even flat?" If your response to an answer is "But the Earth's not flat!" that's just insecure, it's not a substantive addition to a conversation.

No.  The other side, the underside if you will, is not the same as behind. 

I'd grant that the underside would be similar to the upper side.  But the question remains what is behind the underside?  Someone responded with "turtles".

This thread is "What is behind Flat Earth?"  So far, FEers have talked about what's on the bottom, not what's behind.  Is that really the best they have to offer?  A substantive addition to this conversation would have been for FEers to actually address it.  Perhaps some confusion could have been avoided if the question was "What is beneath Flat Earth?"  Do any FEers want to tackle it that way?

Conversely, what is above the dome?  Anything?  Or does god's universe comprise just a few tens of thousands of cubic miles?

No.  The other side, the underside if you will, is not the same as behind. 

I'd grant that the underside would be similar to the upper side.  But the question remains what is behind the underside?  Someone responded with "turtles". 

One could argue that the underside is certainly part of what's below, but okay, fair enough.
The answer would still likely be comparable - the best anyone can say is maybe it's similar to what we see above - mostly nothing, maybe a few scattered bodies - but you're still in "How many blades of grass are in Africa?" territory.

There is confusion in the use of "behind". As it could mean something like this:

"What is behind the flat earth? = "What are the driving forces that are propping up this flat earth belief?" Much like "Who is behind the flat earth" = "Who are the people that are promoting this flat earth belief?"

So a better phrased question is "What's the underside of the flat earth made of?"

Answer: Unknown, but most likely rocks.

I don't think Dr Round is confused about his behind.

This thread is "What is behind Flat Earth?"  So far, FEers have talked about what's on the bottom, not what's behind.

And related to that is what is meant by "behind"?

If you take a view of Earth travelling upwards through space, like in the UA model, then the behind is the bottom or underside.
Given the OP specifically discussed drilling through Earth, I would say it is quite clear they meant what is on the surface that is directly opposite the surface we live on.
Otherwise, why would you need a drill?

Just what did you think is meant by the behind?
What do you think is the front of this hypothetical Flat Earth?

What is below the underside?  Rocks?  If rocks why wouldn't they be considered part of the underside. Nothing?
Any "most likely" is purely a meaningless WAG.

I guess I'm not clear what you are looking for? Are you trying to figure out what FEr's think the material is that is on the opposite side, underneath the flat plane of earth that we live on?

My guess would be, unknown, maybe some rocks and stuff.

Even RE doesn't "know" what's inside our earth down to the core of our ball planet. Just a few days ago there was an announcement, Scientists find evidence of a new layer at the Earth's inner core...

Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center. A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core. This "innermost inner core" is an iron-nickel alloy ball that, as professor Hrvoje Tkalčić explains, is a "fossilized record" of Earth's ancient history. Until now, science had only recognized four layers (crust, mantle, outer core and inner core).

The scientists found the 'hidden' core by studying seismic waves that traveled back and forth across the Earth's entire diameter up to five times — previous studies only looked at single bounces. The earthquake waves probed places near the center at angles that suggested a different crystalline structure inside the innermost layer. Effectively, the alloy is skewing the travel times for the waves as they pass through.

But do we "know", for a fact? Is that what you're looking for? Fact?

 Is that what you're looking for? Fact?

We are in a Flat Earth forum.  The OP and my questions were addressed to the FEers regarding their views on one particular aspect of their beliefs.  I never expected their responses to have anything to do with facts. 

They cannot accurately explain the things they can see.   I was curious to see how they would explain things they could not possibly explain.

And for some reason you have had a dramatic reaction to the notion that it's probably just rocks.
