Flat Earth?
What is the flat earthers, scientific if possible, proof that the workd is not a sphere like an orange, but flat like scicilian Pizza?

In Saudi Arabia, their proof is that God said so in the Koran. I'm not kidding.Straha wrote:What is the flat earthers, scientific if possible, proof that the workd is not a sphere like an orange, but flat like scicilian Pizza?

Just ask them to fly to the four corners or if they believe the planet is round and flat, tell them to find the edge. Love to see them try.

Given the Earth's mass and gravitational pull, there's no way it could be anything but an approximate sphere. It's own mass would gravitationally smooth itself into a sphere.

C'mon now, you didn't really expect a legitimate answer from these guys. I find it funny that they told you that you're infected with lies and left it at that!I sent the Flat Earth Society an E-Mail asking them: "If the Earth is flat, why are Russia and Alaska seperated by the Bering Strait?" I was then told i have been infected with lies.

Just remember that there are two different Flat Earth Societies.
One's real.
One's satire.
Just to let you guys know in case you didn't.

Ok, I can show these dumbshits the Earth is round by going too the Sear's Towers, and those shits can't refute logically they'll probably call it a disortion of Earth's flatness

If the earth was flat it wouldn't bode well for the reach of my arsenal of ICBM's. Thus I command it not to be so. End of story, MORTALS.

Go on their official website to read about their arguments. They're basically nothing but unsupported conspiracy-theories about how the true shape of the Earth has been covered up and how we're all learning lies. They also say that a round Earth contradicts the existence of some magical made-up substance in space called Ether (nice how they just assume this crap exists). Another stupid argument of theirs is that if you put sand grains on top of a beach ball, they'll stay there, but any sand near the sides will slide off. This is supposed to be what happens to people walking on a round Earth (guess they don't know that there isn't any gravity pulling down in space).

The people that believes the Earth is flat are those crazy conspiracists saying that everything is a lie. Thats the only way that you could believe the world is flat. Oh well, lots of idiots in this world.

Luminous Ether was disproven in 1887 by the Micholson & Marley Experiment. Anyone who believes in ether needs to catch up on current events.Durandal wrote:Ether was shown to be nonexistent years ago. That theory has been replaced by the wave/particle duality of light.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Ether was never actually proven by any experiment. It was DISproven by experiment. The deal was that some people were saying that waves can only move through some kind of material. Since light is a wave, space must be filled with some kind of material, after all. That was not true, as demonstrated by experiment several times.

Yeah I just read their current events page, it is pretty funny.Singuler Quartet wrote:I just hit "Paradoxes associated with an inconsistent down direction." Apparently this person has never heard of Sir Issac Newton's Laws of gravity.
Also: Having read through the site, I would have to say that this is a Joke. Read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
