Mega Thread The Flat Earth Mega thread.

[Heisenberg_]

We are just as likely to be living in a simulation that could possibly be flat and we are just getting the perception our planet is a globe.
We are not hurtling around space because there is no space,that's why the stars appear so small. If we try to travel to these stars,or look at them,the simulation will open up to those people looking.
Of course we can't just stand on a planet spinning around travelling through some so called space,it makes no sense at all.
Don't be fooled by this globe earth gibberish because that's what you think you can see,or that's all we know so far,it's only our perception.

I can't tell if you're being serious or taking the piss...
For your sake I hope it's the latter...

im certainly not taking the piss I'm just intrigued.
I don't buy the flat earth theory as its put forward by that flat earthers but I don't really buy the globe earth either. I don't buy the Big Bang and the ever expanding universe seems a bit much.
There's some pretty clever and respected dudes looking into simulation and I think with the micro world so important and not understood by us that's where things could possibly be at.
It's not that hard to imagine that the smallest level of the micro world,which we cannot see or understand yet is in fact pixillation which would mean we are in fact living in a simulation.
Might seem wacky but it makes as much sense as anything else.

I'm going to throw out a curve ball. What if the world is a simulation like many physicists are now starting to wonder? That would give merit to the fact the earth is flat and they are onto something.
All the arguments that the earth is a ball because we can see that doesn't carry as much weight as some are making out. We can only see what our senses actually allow us to,that doesn't mean our perceptions of what we see are the same perceptions of other animals or birds or are in fact what is actually going on at all. It's actually a pretty naive argument,if we were all blind that doesn't mean the world is black,it would just be our perception,same if we all had fuzzy vision or our vision was blurred. What we can see shouldn't be the be all and end all of all arguments

Spot on. For the purposes of some physics, the world is more than likely not only flat but simply a projection.

There have been some studies done as to whether in fact we live in a physical world or a virtual world and in every instance the chances we are living in a virtual world comes out in front and is far more plausible.
James Gates has also been studying the topic and he believes he is some way to in fact discovering the code or computer programme that is behind the simulation. A whole bunch of one's and zeros apparently but if people Google his name I'm sure they'll find something that explains this better than I can.
I've always believed that what needs to be discovered is the very small rather than the large,like this giant ever expanding universe into nothing theory,which is why I find this topic so fascinating.

You trollin' brah?

Telling us binary code might be made up of ones and zeros?

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Not trolling man geez,does everything people don't agree with mean the other person must be a troll? There are genuine quantum physicists studying this whole theory.
Google James Gates Jnr Simulation Theory and you'll see I'm no troll and it is in fact at least being studied and he think he knows a little about the simulation code and obviously believes the theory is legit.
Still doesn't mean you have to agree and I'm sure it's possible we are living on a giant ball, spinning around while orbiting another even bigger ball, in a galaxy that is a universe expanding into nothing just like it has been since it had its big bang that started from nothing.

Sorry, sometimes i get confused with satire and reality. If someone says something so ignorant that i cant believe they arent aware of it, i assume they are trolling.

We arent living on a giant ball either.

Or some super intelligent aliens playing their version of marbles (with our universe a marble)...nup..I prefer the simulation..I think

Did you Google the dude man?

Anyway it's just a theory. Do I believe it's possibly correct? Yes I do.
I don't buy, like I have stated that the flat earth put forward by flat earthers,with its giant ice wall is correct in the form they are putting it,but it might be in another.more complex scenario.
Do I think the earth could be a globe? Of course I do,why not.
Do I think it's a legitimate argument like many on this thread think it is to say the earth is a globe because I saw it with my eyes, with there human capabilities while looking out a aeroplane window? No,I think things might be a little more complex than that.

It not unimaginable though is it? We are even building basic simulation games ourselves now that would have been thought unimaginable only 20 years ago.
The chances that computers will become so advanced in a thousand years time that we can create our own simulated universe is no crazier than thinking we are going to build a rocket and travel at some sort of warp speed to planets billions of miles away.
If we can eventually build a simulated world chances are someone else did it before us and therefore we ourselves are living in a simulation.

Bro, looking out a plane window isnt the way to prove it. Crack a physics book

It aint a matter of buying it, your not being sold anything. There is just evidence and fact that you can accept of choose to ignore.

What if I'm choosing to believe the earth appears round inside the simulation but because the simulation could be flat therefore so could the earth, and so could the entire universe.
I could crack open a physics book and it could just explain to me what the programme inside the simulation has us believe in this point in time. Physics and it's books might still have a long way to go in explaining to us what's going on in our universe. Maybe to this point we havnt got it quite right and still have a lot to discover in these fields, especially at the quantum level.
And I agree looking out the plane window isn't the way to prove it,I was just pointing out how I was amazed so many people on this thread were going with that as their evidence.

You can believe in whatever you want.
But there is a difference between evidence and facts, and what you seem to consider evidence.

You saying that its hard for you to believe that the universe is expanding doesnt change the theories. It just means that you dont understand it. Either because you havent spent any time looking into it, or because its just too complicated for you.

You can believe that all of the evidence is just a program within the matrix. But thats a belief, not fact or evidence.

Putting the same weighting on the flat earth theories as you do on the actual physics is just insane.

I'm not sure there is as much evidence as your making out. We have only started scratching the surface in the field of quantum physics.
Even in astrophysics we have a long way to go. There is a lot of we believe because and we assume because more than there is rock solid evidence.Evidence based on intelligent,well studied and experimented assumptions isn't fact,its just theory itself that scientists believe could be right,but it might just not be.
We need to keep our eyes open to discover what's truly out there,we understand very little in fact but our knowledge is far greater than it was 100 years ago based around what we currently understand.
What's the universe expanding into? Is the space its expanding into infinite or finite.
I'm not saying we are not living in a real universe but the evidence isn't strong enough yet to close the book and state it all as fact,exactly the same scenario with simulation.

 

[cannot]

It's not remotely the same.
People believe that we live on a globe shaped planet because we ******* well do, so much proof of this fact as opposed to the delusional ramblings of a complete moron that has somehow sucked in incredibly naive people into thinking it's a possibility.

Yes but in our computer simulated world the earth is not flat. Its is round.

The Cathedral of Our Lady is romantic this time of year

... spire standing 403 feet high from the foot of the tower with Strasburg measuring 468 feet above sea level. With the aid of a telescope, ships can be distinguished on the horizon and captains declare they can see the cathedral spire from an amazing 150 miles away. If the Earth were a globe, however, at that distance the spire should be an entire mile, 5,280 feet below the horizon

No it shouldnt, and the earth isnt a globe.

I thought you were kidding with your last post?

Year 8 trig isnt enough to actually prove the world is flat. You need to want it to.

Uhm.

Yes but in our computer simulated world the earth is not flat. Its is round.

It could be.
It may also depend on how the simulation is being projected.
In a 3 dimensional projection it could certainly be round but not flat,in a 2 dimension projection it might just appear round but In fact be flat in which case you could argue it is in fact both but not a globe.
I don't think we really know enough about the universe yet for either side to go around calling the other lazy buzz words like moron etc.
We are a young race with a very simple grasp really of what in actual fact is going on around us.
