Are "flat-earthers" an actual thing?

The flat Earth model shows Australia on the opposite side of the Frisbee from South America. It also shows "Antarctica" as being on the same side as South America.

Why do sightseeing flights to visit "Antarctica" leave from Australia or New Zealand?

totally agree. this is a fascinating thread. I am now very curious about the shape of our planet, and I no longer trust NASA. Isn't NASA in Alabama?

As for the guy with an IQ less than 40, my statement is actually perfectly sound as opposed to nonsensical garbage. If something is wrong with it, please point it out, dear sir.

Genuine question here, are you actually retarded? You must be below fourth grade proficiency if you really thought >40 meant my IQ is less than 40. You actually made me laugh out loud. I want you to answer me and honestly tell me whether or not you are mentally retarded.

"A pool table is engineered perfectly flat. Pool balls are engineered perfectly sperical. Even without the felt, place the pool balls on the table. If the Earth is truly globullar and gravity draws to a virtual point, the pool balls would roll to the center of the table and rest there. Yet this never happens."

*spherical

*globular

Since you are pretending you aren't a troll and instead the actual dumbest autist in the universe I will point out how incredibly nonsensical your post was.

A pool table is not engineered perfectly flat, it's flat enough to play pool. If you can find me a pool table which has less than 0.1 inches of varying height, I would be very, very surprised. Also, pool balls are not perfectly spherical, they're spherical enough so you wouldn't know the difference. On your perfectly flat pool table with perfectly round balls which are perfectly homogeneous in structure, all in a perfectly flat room on a perfectly even elevation, the difference in gravity would be exactly 0.000000000000000000227%. Any friction at all would be enough to cancel this force, so the ball wouldn't move. Even if your perfectly flat felt-less table was coated with ice and butter the force is still astronomically too small to impact the ball.

Also, if for some theoretical way the Earth was flat, (which it isn't, you are just being trolled by people pretending to believe this,) gravity would still be strongest at the North Pole, and your impossibly flat frictionless pool table would always roll the balls North. Do your pool balls roll north? If so, turn the table. Do they still roll North? If so, I will admit the Earth is flat.

1/10 for making me reply again.

He meant lower than 40 in the sense that everyone here is a 14 minute guy who makes 250 grand a year. ie: you are lying about your over 40 IQ.

Dear Mr. Low IQ. Following conventional physics so that we can play in your backyard, without knowing the exact variations in radial mass, density and distances from any given point, you won't come up with any difference value of any precision. Without such, you have to work with 0. This already makes you presumptuous. To further it, I didn't grant you a table size so even if you did use an actual formula, which I doubt, you still would have pulled it out of your ass. GI-GO.

It looks like this thread succeeded in challenging hardcore beliefs for the globe earth. I'm also surprised that the flat earth crowd made solid arguments.

So a map that has massive oceans and tiny little land masses are convincing arguments. You could serve vegetables and dip from the O-F map.

Attention! Attention! IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A MAP OF A FLAT EARTH, MAKE SURE IT'S FLAT!

If junk like this and spinning tennis balls spraying water are solid arguments, you're far stupider than you're expected to be. Do you know who's made the most convincing flat map to date? Rand-McNally. If you don't think so, ask people which is bigger, Greenland or Canada.

why does the center of the disc get cold like the outer edge of the disc? But then the middle of those two is really hot?

also why does the Sun illuminate only one half of the disc at a time if it is flat? When I shine enough light to illuminate one side of a frisbee on any part then all of the frisbee gets illuminated to some degree. Can you please answer these questions?

Ok, back from my run. For those of you who are genuinely curious about the flat earth model, please refer to the Flat Earth Wiki page (yes, there is one). It will answer many of your questions. The link is at bottom of post.

"Day and night cycles are easily explained on a flat earth. The sun moves in circles around the North Pole. When it is over your head, it's day. When it's not, it's night. The sun acts like a spotlight and shines downward as it moves. The picture below (link below) illustrates how the sun moves and also how seasons work on a flat earth. The apparent effect of the sun rising and setting is usually explained as a perspective effect."

"When the sun is further away from the North Pole, it's winter in the northern hemiplane (or hemisphere) and summer in the south. A more simplistic picture can be found below."

(You will notice that the sun is equidistant from the North Pole as well as from the edge of the earth to account for the colder temps in the center of the earth and at edges as well)

You didn't answer my question about being retarded, as the matter is still highly unclear.

You are saying that the Earth varies too much in radial mass, density and altitude to make a correct calculation, yet you have access to a pool table that is so perfectly flat with absolutely no friction with cue balls that have a ratio of pi to the millionth digit on a place on Earth so perfectly round (or flat) that the balls should roll to the center from a force as small as the number mentioned.

If you were wondering about the pool table size, I used an 8 foot table. If it were seven feet long however, we would get the drastically different answer 0.000000000000000000224% which I presume is strong enough to move your cue ball. Do the math yourself if you think I'm making it up.

Thanks. Your model is not possible based on commonly accepted data. can you provide your models data for:

distance from the sun to earth

temperature of suns surface

suns diameter

(Quoted from Link)

"The earth isn't pulled into a sphere because the force known as gravity doesn't exist or at least exists in a greatly diminished form than is commonly taught. The earth is constantly accelerating up at a rate of 32 feet per second squared (or 9.8 meters per second squared)."

ERROR: SYSTEM OVERLOAD

If two flights left from both Australia and South America and someone measured how far apart the dots were when they got to Antarctica they should either be in the same area or the entire width of the Earth apart.

No, Einstein. My point was that if you're going to start defining the difference in the amount of gravity, then start with the correct information, which you won't have. What you're missing in your little geezimsofreekinsmartithurtslookimadewordtithaha brain is that the amount of gravity is irrelevant. It's the angle. But that's using your physics.

For further information about Flat Earth, refer to the following:

Mark Sargent ("flat earth clues" is a good place to start on YouTube. He is also credited with bringing the flat earth movement more into the mainstream)

Rob Skiba (testingtheglobe.com btw, he still believes in the globe but is wavering)

Eric Dubay (see his YouTube page)

Patricia Steere (see her YouTube page, and not a bad looking red head, either)

Brian Mullin ( see his YouTube page. "Balls out physics")

Every single one of these folks, were diehard globe believers at one time.

I am interested to know why the sun is a spotlight in your explanation.

I would imagine it would be cooler if it were a laser or a death ray.

Are there some shrouds or magnifying glasses that stop the sun from radiating in a spherical manner?

I want to belive. Please make me a believer.

I'm not Morpheus from the Matrix, lmao. You have to find your own path just like Neo did. In other words, dive in and read everything you can on flat earth. The references listed will help you.

Please answer why my two planes theory would either place the planes together or a world apart.

To Retard Detector:

A couple pages back, I posted a couple long entries about gravity with videos. It's obvious you didn't skipped over that part. Go back there and please, try and keep up!

Please don't leave me :(

I have two degrees in mechanical engineering, and need to unlearn the physics those b@stards pushed on us.

Help me see. Help me.
