Flat earth theory?

If gravity doesn't exist then you should be able to float when leap off the empire state building.

easily provable and very highly likely it will be filmed so we will have video evidence of you floating.

But if you fall then why? Oh your own mass and weight you say, well how can your own mass play a part in you falling yet the earths mass doesn't when the interaction is to bring both together in contact?

Being Earth is part of our entire, completely controlled environment, with everything else held within it.

We have created controlled environments, ourselves - just far less expansive, elaborate, universal...

But unlike the animals, or insects, within those environments we create, it is our understanding of being in a controlled environment that has made for claims by 'science' that are false, and deceitful, of our world flying through an ''endless universe'.

If Earth is a controlled, created environment, everything else has to be explained within those terms, of course.

But if Earth is not considered a controlled, created environment, then it can fit anything they wish....

And to fool the world, it starts by telling everyone the Earth is round, and flying through the endless universe.

They invented 'gravity', an impossible fantasy. They said astronauts went into 'space', and showed that Earth was, indeed, a massive ball!

Stars are all many millions of miles away from Earth. Why would it matter if they are the exact same stars, which we have seen forever?


How would all the stars remain the very same, if Earth is flying through space?

Gravity, is moving all the stars, at the same time, same position, as it moves Earth through space, of course!


Even our atmosphere moves at the same time as Earth moves, because of gravity!

All the oceans curve around Earth, because gravity is holding it all in place!


What proves that gravity exists? We fall to Earth, so only a force acting on us, could make us fall to Earth, right??


No.

Stars would be seen on the opposite side of Earth, although they've never been seen from Earth, right?


And have they ever taken images of those stars, from space?


No?

Squares believe the earth is flat, because there squares, just not cool, and definitely not hip, no matter how hip they try to be, they are just not hip enough to be that. Some say there just one dimensional, for one dimension people, and so have a one dimensional existence. Basically they are like a prototype hipsters.

As for those who believe in a round earth? Well they just like going in endless circles, and so believe everything else must as well, in everything they do there whole existence, nay in fact there whole solar system and universe all goes in endless circles, and it's all circles that all encompassing other circles. And as such they like to think of themselves as two or even three dimensional, but in reality there just windows version 1.1.

As for what shape it really is? Well. It depends on who's asking, who's responding and who's looking, and off course, your definition of observing.

Brilliant and deep comment as usual, GOWTT.

A believer believes. There is some kind of attraction to confirmation bias, and echo-chambers.
These manifestations have been seen here from the self-appointed FE Theory debunkers, throughout the thread.

..."As for what shape it really is?..."...
Who could answer truthfully, being sure of the conditions you suggest?
Who could contemplate those conditions, and then not also think of so many more?
With endless conditions appearing: who would still get their panties in a bunch about what shape, it might really be?

The issue we are discussing is Earth's physical structure - as to whether or not Earth is round, spherical, with an absolutely measurable curvature found over it's entire surface......


If someone doesn't want to discuss the issue, because it's 'stupid' to question the matter, or whatever, then don't hurl insults at people who DO come here to discuss it.


*SNIP*

Thou shalt never doubt the Earth's shape, as round, or shall be cast out forever, in eternal hell, and damnation!


Science proclaims to doubt Earth is shaped as a massive ball...is pure blasphemy!

Five seconds search on Google displays the rather lovely Eta Carinae, part of the Constellation Carina. It can only be seen from the Southern Hemisphere - you can't see it from North of the equator. Yes, we have lots of lovely images of it. And other stars. Can someone post a picture of it please, because I am having trouble with my uploading abilities?
This nonsense thread is now on page 53. And it's now pure 100% nonsense.
Yawn.

The flat earth theory was well and truly debunked after 2 pages of this thread.

It started losing its comedic value after about 5 pages.

Its now dragged on for 53 pages.....time it was put out of its misery.

Seriously do you NOT even understand that

When you are travelling in a car why does a a fence or other objects appear to move faster than a mountain range in the background that kids science or advanced science for you

There wasn't ever... ever.. a debete in this entire thread... apparently you don't know how a debate works...

There needs to be at least two decently valid arguments for a debate... there are no valid arguments for flat earth in this thread... or any other thread period

And the questions you asked were nonsense... i ask a simple question like "you know knowledge exists"... and i get a page of drivel... saying absolutely nothing.. ending in "what kind of knowledge do you think exists"...and after a few long winded drolling posts i didn't see a point in answering you anymore... pointless asking a question with a question wouldn't you say?

How how about we KNOW the shape of the earth... factually

I mean feel free to play devils advocate... but when you side with something this stupid my patience wares thin

In any case feel free to ignore me... i've been trying my best to ignore this thread but i find it almost imposible

Notice at least the other flat earther gave up... perhaps he realised how utterly retarded the concept is having absolutely nothing to back a riduculous argument does that to some people

At the very least this nonsense has been moved to a more appropriate forum

They invented 'gravity', an impossible fantasy.

anything observed and we name is created by humans then?


This is what you are saying then.

Its not an impossible fantasy but simply an observation that has been given a name so when talking we know what we are talking about.

How would all the stars remain the very same, if Earth is flying through space?

They don't.

What proves that gravity exists? We fall to Earth, so only a force acting on us, could make us fall to Earth, right?? No.

Yes that is a No.

do you even read what you are replying too?




Its why I asked "But if you fall then why? Oh your own mass and weight you say, well how can your own mass play a part in you falling yet the earths mass doesn't when the interaction is to bring both together in contact?"

Earth is a contained, controlled environment. It was meant for life to exist on Earth. We walk on Earth, and stay on Earth, and fall to Earth, within the environment created for humans, and all life, to exist, and flourish.

It is not a force that pulls you to Earth, it is simply your mass, and density, causing you to fall down. That's why birds can fly, and we cannot. A bird isn't pulled to Earth, it flies freely above Earth. We require machines in order to fly above the Earth.

A 'pull' is felt, like a magnet, or a rope grabbing you from behind. We feel a pull, on us.
