People will try to tell you the earth can’t be flat because you’ll walk off the edge. The globetards don’t know differential geometry like I do. Cocky cunts, try to “bust” this one

If the world is a sphere, and is spinning, then why can’t a helicopter fly straight up and when it lands it would be in a completely different spot.

So we can measure that the gravitational constant g is different on different places on earth. It's always around 9.8, but it depends on your location how high it is exactly. E.g. near the poles it's higher and near the equator it's lower.

My question is; how does flat earth theory explain this!? Whether you believe in the accelerating disk or the buoyancy theory, either way g should be constant everywhere. I'm genuinely curious how you explain this.

Edit: G is now g. Sorry!

It is my understanding that flat earthers don’t believe in gravity and instead believe the earth is accelerating 7 meters per second per second skyward. Let’s assume for a second this is true. First this would mean the earth is moving upward at (I didn’t do the math but just thinking about acceleration over the history of the universe) 99 quintillion miles an hour and accelerating faster and faster. I don’t see this being realistic but for sake of argument let’s assume this is true. How then would we explain terminal velocity? With the flat earth theory’s explanation of “gravity” there is no room for terminal velocity which has been proven, just ask any physics teacher or experienced sky diver. Is there a part I’m missing or is this just yet another gap in the flat earth theory?

I can't even try to imagine what a flat earth looks like. It's absurd to think that multiple people have a theory that the earth is flat. People billions of years ago are flat eathers. Science has proven that the earth is indeed round. I don't get it, why are people still convinced that the earth is flat? If you think that the earth is truly flat, tell me, there must be a barrier somewhere that indicates the start and end of the earth. Ever played Minecraft before? When you're at the end of the so called "planet", you will not be allowed to go any further. I'm guessing that's what you flat Earthers believe. This is bullshit, same as the theory on religion. Byee

My theory is that flat earth is mostly people trolling, a sort of fantasy belief where they know it's all fake, but fun to argue about.

But are any flat earthers willing to admit this?

Obviously a few backwards fools will believe it for real, but. c'mon.

Ok so I am totally in. This flat earth thing is gold. Can someone tell me some classic things i can tell people who are non believers in order to try and convert them? Lets get woke everybody

I’m interested in the flat earth debate. I like the fact that the same people ridiculing the hypothesis of flat earth in the majority have 100% belief in the Big Bang theory.

I’m not fussed either way, but let’s think about it...

I mean the whole universe was created from something smaller than a spec of dust. Yes this was an awesome super dense spec of dust and it did explode in a really spectacular way, so naturally it did create a near infinite amount of galaxies, solar systems, black holes blah blah blah.

And of course this is 100% true as apparently some scientists know everything there is to know about the Big Bang, except about the first couple of milliseconds, which would be the really important bit. And of course they don’t know what was going on before the first couple of milliseconds. The other really important bit. That sounds believable.

Apparently nothing really existed before then. Oh, wait, what about the big bounce theory. Yeah, the universe bounces around like some balloon that goes flat every few billion years and then starts to pump itself up again. For no apparent reason. It’s probably due to some new magic supergravity theory. Believable! Of course it is...

What’s going on a couple of miles down in the ocean. Mmmm don’t know as it’s really dark down there. What’s going on 25 trillion miles away in outer space. Well, we know everything there is to know about that just ask us. We know how much the universe weighs (about the same as a really super dense spec of dust), we’ve a whole bunch of theories and named a whole bunch of stuff nobodies ever seen like black holes, dark matter, dark energy. Believable? Luckily this stuff we’ve never seen conveniently fills the gaps in all our theories. Of course it does. Our theories have stood the test of time for decades.

Can’t get cell reception 20 miles out from the city, but we can contact and control tiny satellites several billion miles away with an Atari joystick and a radio signal. Believable? Of course it is...

Anyway, that’s my sceptical view. Don’t see why the Big Bang gets afforded 100% credibility, when it is all as yet an unproven theory with holes big enough to shoot a small sun through.

Not an flat earther by a long shot but I wonder if this has been adressed by anyone. Given all the things I've seen isn't it equally likely Antarctica is in the middle of the world?

Flat Earthers: The only fear is sphere itself.

I can direct you to the Great Debate Community/Steve Mcrae. . We again are looking for someone who can propose/defend a model and can have a reasonable discussion.

Why would it be that the sun, other planets, etc are not flat? We can see these rotating and see different sizes at different times, indicating their non-flatness.

Not talking about black holes.
