Flat earth

[Old Texan]

If the planet is flat and we live on top, what is on the bottom and can a plane fly there??????????

 

[was thatguy]

If you start at the North Pole are
You upside down going around he South Pole? I don’t know I’m asking because now im thinking about that. I guess China sees a full moon upside down compared to us here? I’ve heard lots of different things on that too. And I’m not arguing. I’m sure there’s a simple explanation so that’s what I’m looking for. Instead of calling me bonkers or stupid a simple answer will do

Upside down is a gravitational condition. No, you are never upside down unless you turn the plane upside down in relation to the earth or stand on your head.

That one just doesn’t make sense to me. Same with water always being flat. If nothing else by asking questions I’ve pissed off my wife. To the point she’s picking up Her dads old stuff from her mom and we are going to set it up in bhc probably be pretty cool for the kids

@was thatguy did we really go to the moon? That one bothers me sometimes too.

 

[RCDave]

I’ve read the air is too thin? That’s really the only thing I can find... that also interests me. The north star never moving, or constellations. My wife’s dad was an astronemer she said she can explain that to me today. I’m just curious. Instead of accepting what I’ve been told I decided to start doing my own research. That led to me being even more interested. Honestly I’ve always felt I was in a snow globe type deal w people always watching me. Can’t explain it that’s just how I’ve always felt. Still not saying the earth is flat but I’m very interested in certain things.

Everything in the universe is in constant motion. Gravity based on objects of mass, etc. The earth and the solar system is just moving along with the stars, galaxy's, etc we use as reference points together

No doubt about it.

Ignorance isn't a simple answer.

This was all figured out hundreds, if not thousands, of years before we had rocket and satellites. And the answers keep coming up the same today as they did back then.

My idiot brother subscribes to all this, and passes it on to his kids. It is all about feeling and beliefs and not hard physical evidence.

Sad isn't it to pass on ignorance and misinformation?

Information is out there, all one has to do is let it in

Didn't they make a movie about you titled The Truman show, Jim Carrey played you. LOL

The Flat Earth FB page is one of the most entertaining pages on there. I fuck with them almost daily.. they post up some really ridiculous shit.. bunch of religious weirdos.

I don't. I tell them not to cut it at all and eat it like a taco [emoji869]

Seems like they don't believe in space, gravity, the moon landing.

I wonder if the end of this movie is closer to their thoughts
Skip to 45 seconds if you don't want to watch it all

Actually a circle divided equally from its center, the pieces are called segments.

Flat earth? Get real. Not even worth a discussion at this point.

Growing up in the US we all looked at the standard flawed Mercator projection map that gets less accurate as you move further away from the equator.
Its ridiculous were still using it at all.

In tech high school I had a great teacher who also had and Arno Peters projection map and the differences was eye opening- this is the map that should be in our kids schools.

TO get a good grasp of just how big Africa take look at this link.
You can Fit China, India, and the continental US inside Africa.

Exactly. Flat earth or no flat earth. What we’ve been taught is way off.

Why do we park on driveway and drive on a parkway ?

I really look at all these things we live with or live around, theories, beliefs etc etc.
I jus live my life and when I am dead and gone, somebody else will be still talking about non sense shit.

In simple words. I have more things in my life to worry about and if it doesn't directly affect me, I don't fucking care

Take 5 monkeys and put them in a room with a banana hanging from a string and a ladder.
When a monkey goes up the ladder for the banana, paste them all wide open with a 2” fire hose.
Soon, one will go back up the ladder. Hit them again with the fire hose.
Now, when one tries to go up the ladder the other 4 will drag him down and kick the shit out of them.
Take out one monkey and put in a new monkey. When he goes up the ladder, the other 4 kick his ass.
Put your hose away, you won’t need it anymore.
Keep switching out monkeys. Soon you have 5 monkeys that have NEVER seen the fire hose, but whenever one goes for the banana the other 4 drag him down and beat his ass...why??

“Because that’s the way we’ve always done it”...

It doesn’t matter where you stand on a sphere with a gravitational force, you are always “upright”.

We think of North as “up”, but there really is no up or down in space.

But a full moon looks upside down if you’re in Australia?

Not if you’re Australian...!

The moon is a curiosity to me.
It does have an axial rotation, but it takes 27 “days” for the moon to spin one time, it also takes 27 days for the moon to orbit the earth. They call it a “synchronous” rotation or something like that.
That’s why the moon always shows us the same side.

Love it.

My Freshman year in college, I was told a story with the similar meaning.

A young daughter was helping her mom with Thanksgiving dinner. The mom reminds the daughter about cutting off the butt and then proceeds to cut the ass end of the turkey before putting it in the pan to cook. The daughter asks mom, why do we do this? Mom answers, that is what we do. Still curious, daughter asks grandma. Grandma's answer: our pan was always too small for the turkey, so I just cut off the end so the turkey would fit

Now this story was told to me by my Statistics professor. The guy always smelled like weed, but his class was fun.

Here’s a basic model of our solar system and the planets orbital paths.
The planets (including earth) all orbit the sun in what is considered a counterclockwise direction.
This, to me, is an innacurate statement because as Vic pointed out what if you are in the Southern Hemisphere?
But we see things in an up and down fashion so it is what it is.
That aside, the suns gravity keeps all planets in orbital paths with there inertia providing the orbital movement (see Isaac Newton for details) Planets all rotate on axis as well, creating there own mini systems as in moons trapped in orbital paths)
Because planets are round and “spin” on axis, all natural orbital objects , by laws of physics, orbit in equatorial orbits. Things like DTV and comm satellites are in fixed orbits, meaning they appear stationary because they match the rotational speed of the earth. (At there fixed altitudes)

If the earth was flat (can’t believe I’m even able to type that) there is no way that anything would or could remain in orbit...he’ll there is actually no possible way anything could ever even be PLACED in orbit.
There would be no day and night (axial rotation), no summer or winter (fixed axial tilt of 23.5* during 365 day solar orbit) no moon (gravitational force of a rotating sphere on a trapped inertia powered sphere, the moon is to us as we are to the sun)
Basically every single law of physics and every single advancement in knowledge dating back thousands of years has to be ignored.

Stepped out for a bit - have we discussed toilets flushing counter clockwise in Australia yet?

Lol. Right?
The Coriolis effect does not make toilets flush backwards in the Southern Hemisphere.
You can make any toilet flush in any direction.
The Coriolis effect simply isn’t strong enough to make it do it.

I have seen petrified coral while Drilling samples in equatorial locations where some sea shells were wound counterclockwise.
The geologist on site said it was due to the Coriolis effect in the past when axial tilt was probably more pronounced. Don’t know how old they were, but we retrieved samples from about 80’ or so.
Hurricanes also swirl in opposite directions due to the effect, or so Ive read.
