Mega Thread The Flat Earth Mega thread.

[cannot]

Simple test, go down to your local port / harbour and watch a ship sail out to sea.

you can watch it consistently with a telescope apparnetly

Does it disappear over the horizon or are you able to watch it constantly?

could be wrong - but my understanding is the human eye is far from perfect

hence the eye can be susceptible to be deceived via atmosphere or perspective or other factors

This is correct.
The argument being put forward constantly on this thread about using the human eye to prove anything is extremely poor.
Apart from the fact it is only capable of seeing what is capable of seeing their are also examples of the brain interpreting what the eye sees to suit itself and being deceived as you suggest.
There are also arguments that could be put forward in such a forum that if you are not looking at the ship on the horizon for example,it is not actually there anyway.
It is correct to suggest a telescope is more powerful than the naked human eye,I understand this may sound simple but thought it was necessary to support your statement in the context of the simple post to which you were replying.

Ok so what does the flat earth look like? I mean show me a map.. and what's in the very centre of the map? Antarctica? The Artic? Tasmania?

In the Flat-Earth model, the North Pole is the immovable center of the world

 

[PizzaChief]

Thanks.. is it just earth that is flat or are all the other planets moons suns etc flat too..?

I assume people like Jessica Watson are dirty, rotten scoundrels who are in on the whole thing too.

Apparently Antarctica is a big ice wall on the edge of the earth under guard by NASA

Still don't agree with the theory as is but I havnt heard them mention there is no water to sail on and looking at the map you could still sail around.

 

[CJApples87]

So you just magically appear on the other side of course.

How does this theory explain gps technology?

If the world is flat, what's on the underside? I mean apart from the elephants and big turtle.

It's turtles the whole way down.

Have you looked at their map though? It seems you could sail around the earth but straight across doesn't appear possible so why would you need to pop out the other side? Just curious.

Fair question. What's in the centre of the globe earth though. That ones equally as puzzling.

A molten core most likely.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

All those photos from the ISS where the horizon on the globe is an ocean or a mountain range....they must all be photoshopped....because now we know that the earth is surrounded by Antarctica....and forget about the curvature of earth that you can see, that's just the lens doing that.

 

[darthbards]

Most likely?
Not saying the earth is flat or round but most likely doesn't exactly cut it.
Still sounds to me that both theories,amongst others,still have a bit of research and discovery ahead of them before we can definitively answer what the hell is going on.

You sir, are an idiot.

 

[darthbards]

You sir, are an idiot.

Insulting me doesn't exclude you from the same fate though and isn't entirely scientific.
You asked what's under the flat earth so I asked what is in the centre of the globe earth and once again the answer came back,like most scientific answers with a probably attached.
Science is no different to religion in the way they both expect us to accept answers to their questions without any sort of proper facts,plenty of theories though.
We really need to start finding answers and do away with blindly putting faith and worshipping anything when we are still a long,long way from things being proven as factual.
All this worshipping of either side is holding us back from the knowledge we need to acquire.

 

[bomberclifford]

Here's where you give the game away. Answering a question with a question.

The reason that you didn't answer my question because the proposition is so absurd that any attempt to rationalise it would show you up to be the deliberate troll that you are.

Science is very different to religion on one very important matter; when new evidence presents itself, science adjusts its thinking.

 

[darthbards]

No,unfortunately many people treat science as a religion,unfortunately yes,but it's true. They are entirely the same in many regards.
Why did you feel the need to ask such a simple question? Have you read the OP or the link to the FAQ?
I slightly feel you have given your game away by using unscientific terminology such as idiot but i could be wrong.
I feel sceptical about both theories being put forward, but a quick Google shows me the flat earthers believe under the earth could be dark matter and space while others think it could be resting on some sort of table,I assume there must be space under the table. Doesn't sound entirely different to what the round earthers believe they are surrounded by.
As stated previously,I think the round earth theory currently being put forward, is at this point in time,more likely than the current flat earth theory,but obviously that may change. Both the theories are not really even close to being proven as factual just yet unfortunately.

No it isn't. And science isn't a religion. Stop making shit up and acting like it's got the same weight as existing scientific theories.

 

[Watchyourwaite]

Nope. Flat Earth. We just have to keep refilling volcanoes every time they go off.

 

[darthbards]

I never said science was a religion,or that's not what I meant.Maybe I said it wrong so apologies if that's the case.
They both behave in a very similar fashion. There's obviously many great scientists with intelligent and open minds,I'm speaking broadly though.

People don't treat science the same way they treat religion. In a lot of ways it is the opposite to religion.
And this is coming from a religious person. I am aware I need to suspend my belief in reality to accept certain aspects of my religion.

 

[darthbards]

Not religious here but not not religious. It's not proven and science hasn't proved it wrong so I'm open,just think they're both pretty much the same.
The Globe spinning,round earth in an expanding galaxy,from a big bang isn't a bad example. Not a whole lot of proof,plenty of theory and maybes.
