Only seen one photo but looks like Antartica is the edge all around something like 3600 miles all around. I've only spent about 60 minutes looking into flat earth but mentioning that to my friends causes them to go into shock and raises their blood pressure. That mere over reaction and panic attack makes me wanna investigate it more. They say I've wasted my entire life. Ok 60 minutes looking into it has wasted my entire life. I'm most definitely onto something.
Even if I don't conclude the earth is flat it's definitely worth my time based on how hard it shatters and offends their foundation of beliefs. Most of my friends can't listen to more than 10 to 15 seconds of me say anything about it. I love every one of those 15 seconds. Absolutely love the pain it inflicts on them.
Eratosthene proved it was round and even determined its diameter when he measured this noon shadow then its distance from Asswan where there wasn’t any at the same time.
Edit: it was not Aristoteles, thanks to @Suckmedry...
I had to crack open the memory to my ancient world history class from 6th grade ? Aristotle was just a philosopher, it's also worth mentioning Johannes Kepler, he proved the Earth revolves around the sun. All of this has been known for centuries
Go look again, with a telescope. Watch. Rate of fall ≠ Gravity. Name an experiment that proves gravity. Save yourself some time, there are none, but find me one if you insist. The only instance where gravity is needed to explain anything that happens in our world is to explain why planets orbit the sun (which is clearly not the case since the earth is not a Globe sphere), everything else functions absolutely without the gravity Theory.
Take a look at Foucault's Pendulum. It works exactly as expected on a rotating sphere no matter where you place in on the Earth. Give me a flat earth mathematical theory that explains it as well and I will consider your proposal.
attack all people. It's the best strategy so far. Round all people who say we are taught incorrect info and our universities degrees are worth jack shit and throw them in the concentration camps. Only way to keep this system going. So far I'm loving all the attacks. The more the merrier.
My physics degree begs to differ with your assessment of "no experiment proves gravity."
Take a look at a pendulum, or a falling body, or a celestial body, or omg, literally a million other things.
I have done hundreds of experiments on gravity myself. I have written papers on it.
If you have another mathematical theory that explains all observations I will happily look at it, but I promise you, our theories of gravity do extremely well.
Foucault's pendulum has the following interesting behavior.
At the equator, when swinging, it does not rotate. At any other point on the earth it precesses, going faster around a circle as you move closer to the poles, exactly as predicted by applying Newton's gravity to a mass swinging over a rotating spherical mass.
It also will swing forever. It does that because the earth is rotating and momentum is being transferred from the earth to the pendulum.
No matter where you are on the earth these effects will occur as predicted.
Propaganda. Focault pendulum is a farce you can prove yourself. Go re-create you will see the truth. I deleted this post because didn't mean to post it on GA
We can measure the flatness of a lake using a long flat object, by extending it over the water surface, we should see a constant distance to this surface.
If however the earth is not flat, we expect the surface of the lake to be curved: i.e. we would expect to see an increase in the distance between our flat reference object and the lake surface.
Okay, so now we can do the following test:
We go find a big lake and wait for a calm clear day.
I will set up a laser level at the lake shore.
We take a small boat and on it we mount a broad measuring stick.
We aim the laser at the measuring stick.
You set off moving away from the laser in the direction it is pointing and every so often you measure the position of the laser dot on the measuring stick.
If the earth is flat, you would expect the dot to not change position. Linear deviations from the original position simply indicate your laser is not level.
However, if the earth is not flat, you would expect the point to rise (in a non-linear fashion).
People have done this experiment and surprise, surprise, the lake surface was not flat. It was curved.
Another point:
Gravity is a force that "originates" from the center of mass of each object. In other words, you can replace every object with a single mass at the center of origin to get the exact same influence on every other mass.
Now, imagine the world has a disc shape. Where would the center of mass be? It would be in the geometrical center of the disc.
Okay, so now you move from the center of the disc (on the surface), outward. In what direction would gravity point as you move to the edge of the disc?
It would point to the center of mass at all times. Ergo: In moving to the edge of the disc in every direction you would feel like moving uphill. In fact, when you reach the edge of the disc, you would be more or less parallel with the surface, just to maintain your balance.
Now go around the world and measure the direction of gravity. You will find it points "down" and never sideways. Ergo: The planet is not a disc, but an oblate sphere.
Flat-earthers are really not well versed in science. It is tragic, because it makes all of us look bad.
Easy enough. I went to the ocean, I could see a point 7 miles away (another beach) could see another human wading into the water. Should of been 12 feet hidden. Proved to myself. You try
In addition mister "I'll downvote anyone who provides evidence to the contrary of my beliefs," my sister has flown around the globe. She provided pictures of her travels. The sun did exactly as was expected in the globe model during her experience.
Thank you. I have read that it’s like a canopy over the earth, with the stars fixed inside. I know that doesn’t make sense (at least to me.) I’m sorry I don’t have a link. ?. In Genesis - the story of the Deluge.
I smell a shill trying to paint us as retards. I don't rely on NASA, I rely on James Cook, Ferdinand of Magellan and the tons o' people who went around the world far before we even started flying, let alone going to space. Get rekt, glowie
I deleted the post. Didn't realize I posted on GA.. However the truth is that the world is indeed flat. I understand how ones here seen this we trolling because it did not belong in this forum. Have a nice day
Okay, if the earth is flat, where are the ends?
Planets are round because their gravitational field acts as though it originates from the center of the body and pulls everything toward it.
What is your definition of "the ends"?
Bro, where are the edges of the earth if the earth is flat.
This is the kinda stuff that makes this whole movement look stupid.
That's the goal. Otherwise he'd be engaging with conspiracies.win
It's insanity, for $160 he can easily debunk his own theory by launching a weather balloon with some good cameras that can withstand the elements.

Fixed. Thanks!

Stop with this stupid shit.
No
I have seen ships go over the horizon. I have witnessed this phenomenon, that is predicted by the globe model, myself.
All physical models of gravity also support exactly what we see in every experiment we have ever done, and there are millions.

Should go read a book titled "Trigonometry for Dummies, proof the earth is flat".
Cointel Pro? Repetitive propaganda.

You are right. Gravity as such does not exist. It is the curvature of space-time.
But hey, your brain is so smooth you only believe in flat objects lol.
Dumbass.

Look at a pendulum? What about it? Proves absolutely nothing, pseudoscience. Empty words coming from this guy.
What does "pseudoscience" mean to you?
The ole "why don't you take a look" one liner.. take a look at??
I posted what to take a look at...

I have done this exact experiment. It is not a farce, it is not a lie, it is something you yourself can test. I highly recommend you do so.
Sigh...
The water in a lake is flat. Agreed?

There are people who have studied physics and people who believe the world is flat. There is no crossover between those two groups.

In theory it is understandable.. In practice it is nil i.e. not practiced..
There is dumb and there is really dumb and there is FortheGenerations dumb...lol
Shilling hard tonight I see. Desperation

WHEN U SEE SHIT LIKE THIS......ITS MEANT TO DISCREDIT REASERCHERS AND FANS OF THIS SITE.
next month you will read " qanon followers, most known for conspiracies like this one...(blah bluh muh screenshot)
Damn shillfest
ur projecting. shill
Negative
Serious question - What do you think is the “firmament “ as the ancient peoples called it?
The firmament, honestly I don't know what it is. All I can confirm is there is no curvature.
Thank you. I have read that it’s like a canopy over the earth, with the stars fixed inside. I know that doesn’t make sense (at least to me.) I’m sorry I don’t have a link. ?. In Genesis - the story of the Deluge.
The universe is flat.
I smell a shill trying to paint us as retards. I don't rely on NASA, I rely on James Cook, Ferdinand of Magellan and the tons o' people who went around the world far before we even started flying, let alone going to space. Get rekt, glowie
You can paint yourself as a retard. Where's your globe pictures bruh?
STFU MORON.
Nope.
