Is the flat earth the truth or haox??
The theories of flat earth looks some what right of a kind but science disagrees it?
So what is the truth?????

It's just a joke extended too damn much, don't take is seriously.
I mean, you're stupid if you take it seriously.
An intermediate science student here in India could explain why planets including earth, need to be spherical and not flat.

How do you know Earth is round? Is it because you were told about it in School? Do you trust everything that was taught in school?
There has been this debate for quite a long now, I know that its bullshit theory but they have really made all those who blindly trusted this fact think twice.
I think many of them supporting this theory are doing that precisely, while challenging how most people simply accept what they are told.

So tell me, How do you know the Earth is round? Is it because you own an Atlas or a globe? Or have you actually traveled around it? And if you think you did, did you really look out the window and verify that you were always traveling in the same direction?

Hahaha... Pardon in my attitude toward this idea because many great and intelligence scientists who already died prove that earth is not flat. The present scientists prove it too. Many books were provided to read in the schools. Books to produce in themaking of newest scientists agreeing to the old teaching that earth is not flat but rather in sphere.
Let's assume that earth is flat so all scientists who are in the space right now are liars.
The truth that provided by great old and New philosophers, scientists cannot be erase in just a moment against discovery.

Flat Earth ? Are u serious people ? Galileo Galilei has proved that Earth has spherical shape is in 16th century and Fernando de Magallanas has checked it in his last adventure (unfortunately). Live from International Space Station, photos etc... not enough?)))

How do you know that proofs given to you are real. Why can't it be faked ?
You cannot prove it until you don't see it with your own eye..

I do agree with you. Its not that I dont belive round earth its just that flat earth theory makes sense too..

May be they giving all books and stuffs to avoid the mistake they made in 20s that the earth is round.
Its not that I dont belive in round earth but the flat earth theory makes sense too...

You don't make any sense because a intermediate student will obviously tell what he is been taught from his childhood just like you and everyone of us is told that earth is round.
What if you were told and shown (might be real or fake) that earth is square.
Just like that intermediate student you would have keep saying for life time that earth is square..

Saying that earth is flat is like saying all knowledge about space, physics, math are just a charade made up hundreds .. no thousands of years ago.

Making up a complex system to lie to everyone and.. after the Maya, Egypts, Greek.. all high dynasties met a decision, total independently
 from each other, keeping this whole globe thing on for the modern society? You must understand that maybe the Maya and Egypts or who knows didn't know that the earth is not flat.. still their laws hit the spot.

This whole flat earth thing was once a joke and now people are taking it seriously and thats what is dangerous. People died for proving that the earth is not flat. But thats not the only thing.. some people like to stick to complete stupidity and nonsense. This is so wrong that it must hurt at a level.. we never knew we could reach!

Saying the earth is flat is telling everybody that all intelligent human beings in our whole human history are liars and somehow every dynasty made up the right and same lies.

Just a joke - all those pictures, observing planets from the face of the Earth - even YOU can do that with a good enough telescope. Why would the Earth be flat if EVERY OTHER PLANET is more or less spherical? It's just a hilarious anachronism nowadays...  :)

If the earth is flat ,then why is there daytime and night time around the globe? So it means that the earth revolves around the sun. I think it is impossible for a flat surface to rotate. I don't know why people believe in hoax. It was already taught in school and there were also evidences that the earth is round.

No.. they're not spherical.. that are not real planets. The moon is a plate btw. There is a lot of stuff going on and I dunno how much I can facepalm myself before I reach the back of my head.

So a new story happened:

A flat earther came across a NASA-Employe and thought.. he could ask him some things. You need to know, the NASA-Boi was actually getting a coffee (probably Starbucks). He wasn't in the mood to answer any questions or not allowed or who knows. Maybe just thought, that it doesn't matter what he would say.

So the flat-earther took this, and NASA sticker btw, for a reason that the earth must be flat, bc he couldn't answer him. Yeah.. Sure. Such a child.
Harassing someone in his private life for a "greater good".. I dunno.. thats just not okay.

He also made a video.. but I dunno if its allowed to post a link here?

It is funny. Earth is not Flat. It is round.

But the ancient Mayans, Egyptians, and Greeks all died off... along with the ancient Sumerians. Maybe they were wrong about the shape of the earth, as well.

Are we right? Once the dollar crashes, we will crash right along with it. It will happen before Bitcoin becomes strong enough to take up the slack. We will be proven wrong just like those ancients.

We do live in the age of the internet. Its obviously a troll story, guys!

Great civilization died bc of self made problems. Or do you think the just left the plate?
It is just ignorant to think that earth is flat.. why would it be? Its proven to be a globe. It does actually make sense that its a globe.

Still.. all big dynasties would have totally randomly made up the same lies? Does not really sound solid to me.


Yeah.. it was a trollmove once.

The fact that story got so far makes me worry for the future of mankind.

a guy with geography degree started to tell us about it the other day. well at least he gave everyone a good laugh. for a guy with a geography degree it is kind of stupid to come and state the earth is flat. it's like claiming the moon is a plate because it's a flat circle in the sky

If you start to question everything you learn at school, it has been proved by many ways, it you think to it , you should realize that it couldn't be another way.

I think it's just a theory, however, there's no proof yet whether earth is flat or round. Well, whatever it is, I don't really care. It's just a waste of time to debate whether earth is flat or round. As long as we're living, earth will just be earth. Just be thankful.

The problem here is, that this theory was proven wrong a very long time ago! But people dig up every bs they find and make a topic of it. Its never wrong to question something.. but at some points.. you should just give it up.

How can you prove gravity if Earth is flat?

I'm not a proponent of flat earth. All I'm trying to show you is that it will take a lot more thinking on your part to win against the flat earth people. However...

Question anything that the ancient peoples did or said, and question it well. Why? Because they died out, and only their descendents are left (us).

Doesn't that prove that the ancients understood what was good and right? No! Why not? Because they didn't understand the workings of how nature reproduces, just like we don't. We, the descendents of the ancients, came about by the ancients instinctively using natural reproduction. They didn't understand how it worked enough to do it without using nature, just like we don't.

Flat earth theory was disprove long time ago with a spherical earth theory. It is erroneous to taught of the earth as flat while it is evident when look through the horizon or on mountain that the earth is really circular.

Its a hoax of course. Everyone knows that is round and its proven that the earth is not flat. It was proven long time ago that the earth was round. Science can back it up with evidence and pictures of the earth from space. About the ancient people trying to prove that the earth is flat, they died trying to prove something that is so wrong. I don't blame them because the technology before is not that good, far from good actually. Also, if the earth is flat, we will have sunlight 24 hours a day since it won't rotate if its flat. It's a waste of time to believe that the earth was flat, worry about something else.

I disagree with the theory of the flat earth. Based on the science in school, picture / imitation of the shape of the earth and the film that illustrate about the earth makes me more believe that the earth round. For example, water flows from high places to lower ground, the presence of mountains or plateau. Those are some examples of the earth is not flat.

Simple, go to a beach. Look at a ship and watch it slowly disappear over the horizon. Works best with sailing ships with masts and sails. This is the most simple way of proving the world is round. Or look at the ISS on youtube, clearly the world is round form space.

I don's react to many comment below but according to my research when i open the NASA site then i view their satellite in nearest area some cameras  are facing to our beautiful earth the i found out that it is continuously turning around in one direction.

Seems that you have just woke up from your deep slumber and just gotten out of your cave. Earth being spherical has been proven decades and decades ago long before space travel has been achieved.

right somehow. But the basic math and science were made a long time ago. Anything we do today, is based on their findings

While in my country day and night in the USA, it has proved that the theory of the earth round is true. If the earth is flat, then there should be no time difference. And also, we know the moon was round? Why the earth is not round also? Where is the edge of the earth if the earth is flat?

Elon Musk asked the flat earth society if they think Mars is round... they said yes.

Where the edge is? Well.. thats easy.. the earthplate is surrounded by the ice of antartic :D

For me it makes no difference whether the earth is round or flat through my religious viewpoint.

Because for me it is a discussion that will not affect the value of my faith that the earth and the universe is God created.
And also because the discussion only consults on right or wrong, not the discussion of sin or not if we do not believe one of them.
Just waiting to see which has facts and reality more actual and proven in science later. What is certain until now the round earth holders are still the majority because of the scientific fact has been believed for centuries.

The flat earth theory isnt real

Its just being promoted by celebrities and athletes that are misguided.

If the earth was flat then it would mean that trees in the south would grow sideways towards the flat side (which it doesn't)

Solar and lunar Eclipses would also be flat (which it isn't)

Oh, i think the earth cannot be flat,if the earth is flat then the planet would fly to the universe when it just flies straightly.

It was a joke, and had gone waaaaay to far. This post too is clearly a joke.

Flat earth is false and it has been established that the earth is sphere and the same goes to moon and sun.

All of you idiots are wrong.  The earth has not been proven to magically float or spin in in a vacuum.  There is no evidence that it is a sphere.   Curvature can not be found anywhere, and all images of space and planets are faked.  Therefore you have no idea what is real because you have taken fake images as reality.   The flat earth theory is every bit as valid as the sphere earth theory.  99.9% of sphere earth believers believe what they are told and have never actually done a science experiment themselves to prove anything. They just regurgitate what is taught in schools and what they see in movies and TV and now they think they are smart.  They aren't.  I don't have all the answers but I can spot bullshit a mile away.  The heliocentric model is filled with holes and flat earth can not explain everything either.  So who the hell knows.

There is plenty of evidence that its a sphere. So much so that the entire planet knows this to be fact.

So how do you know that all of the images are faked? Because someone told you on Youtube?

99.9% of flat earth believers believe what they see on Youtube and have never actually done a science experiment themselves to prove anything.


So who the hell knows? Well I do, I know you FE people are either nuts or bored.

 The church taught people so earlier. then Galileo Galilee found hubble telescope  that he can see planets. then he realized earth is not flat. well what happened is, The church punished him that he went against the church. That's horrible huh? 

You can prove round earth while in the lake right on the horizon. For example, on the Lake.

When you're there, the skyscrapers in the City of Chicago just look the upper part only.

This proves that the earth is not flat. if it is flat, surely you can see all parts of the building.

The height of the Sun.



As you move away from the equator, the sun will appear to move lower in the sky. It proves that there is a curvature on earth that resembles a sphere shape.

Lunar eclipse


the shadow of the earth will look curved when there is a lunar eclipse. This proves that the earth is round like a ball.

The whole planet is round



The number of planets in the universe is innumerable. However, from what appears, everything is round.

logically, if another planet is round, the earth is definitely round, because it belongs to the type of planet in the solar system.

through a ship that sails over the ocean. This method has actually been taught since high school through science studies (IPA). However, let us discuss further.

when the ship sails away from the dock, the hull of the ship will disappear in the first horizon than the mast. The opposite is true when the ship comes from the ocean, the mast of the ship is seen earlier than the hull of the ship.

if you want to prove it yourself, take a telescope or binoculars and go to the harbor. With clearer vision, the ship will still disappear under the earth's curve .

I am gobsmacked that in 2018, seriously, we need to debate whether the Earth is flat or not.

It has been proven that it is round CENTURIES ago. Gravity itself requires a spherical shape, we know nowadays that we have two EMISPEHERES (hence, round shape) where season are INVERTED because of the tilt of the axis. A complete opposite of seasons can ONLY happen with a spherical shape.

Seriously, I find it pathetic that someone dares to subvert scientific proof based on universal laws of physics that have been established CENTURIES ago.

If this thread boggles your mind take a look at the almost 500 pages of unbelievable horse shit here!  It'll really make your head explode from pain!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009045.0

People in 2017 and now 2018 think vaccinating their kids is bad. Well.. a lot of kids died bc of diseases. Nice move humans.

Its sad that some people say that something proven for hundreds of years is just magically wrong. That the laws of physic do not apply.. like wtf?
There was a video where someone explained that the earth must be flat, because if you tilt water on a lemon, it just falls down. Must be the same for earth if it was spherical.

Should we really pay that much attention to this idiotic act?

Flat earth  is a superstitious theory of those who are believing it, a theory that no single truth can be found.

I don't wish to live in doubt, i don't wish to be a skeptic maniac questioning everything taught in cool by very respectable people. For if they lied to me, my life has no meaning.
While you, you seem to take pride in doubting everything, being a skeptic maniac.
I was taught sequentially why earth has to be round. I was taught how gravity works, i was taught how spinning objects behave, i was taught how centrifugal and centripetal forces work, i was taught how spinning objects take spherical shape due to these forces (analogous to a simple ice-cream which is spun to make it round). And i was taught all this by live demonstration, if i trust my eyes, i trust my life, i trust this.
And since most of the population was not interested in studying this much just to understand why spinning planets have to be round, they were simply told this as fact.

You sir, can continue living in doubt while being "smart" and denying what's taught in school. As if there aren't enough reasons for kids to act edgy and hate school.



 

Flat earth?  It is already proven that earth is not flat. We can see the satellites images that earth has an spherical shape.  So there is no doubt that earth is not really flat. 

No ! i don't think earth is flat .It is a concept that is brought into the textbook even an elementary student knows well the globe

I love a good flat earth discussion. While I don't believe that the Earth is flat, I am impressed with the amount of effort and thought many people have put into try to prove it to be true. I've watched a lot of videos on it because things like this interest me. I agree with questioning the accepted beliefs of society as I don't think many are the truth.. I still think Earth is spherical though haha.

Yeah. It's really funny. I mean, all you gotta do is watch James bond ski down a mountain to realize that the earth isn't flat. Or Youtube search on "Lauterbrunnen base jumping" to see that the Lauterbrunnen valley in Switzerland isn't flat with all the mountains around it. Or did NASA CGI all those videos?

 :D

and maybe our whole life is an illusion and all that is happening to us is a dream or a raving of a madman? - also a good topic for discussion), we can doubt all of these achievements and studies, but is there any point in spending time on this?

Right! If we are spending time on this, it should be in the "Off Topic" section, not the "Politics & Society" section.

 :D

On this topic we can think for a long time and there is a huge number of opinions. Scientists and great minds believe that modern people who believe that the planet Earth is flat like to go against the current look for a dirty trick and confrontation in every statement.

the earth is round not flat. the proof are the sunrise and sunset, and the day and night. if earth is flat there is no time zones. earth is round because we have different time zone, when the sun is illuminating one side of the spherical earth, the other side is dark.

the thing i am wondering about the most, where the hell is all this water going into? REALLY, pls some one explain it to me ;)

It is merely a stupid joke, though some dumb celebrities support the idea behind it. Someone should fly them to space and prove them wrong. Once doing so, just abandon in space, that would be doing the world a favour, with less stupidity in it.

if I think the earth is round, we know that every ship that will stop to the dock from a distance must be seen is the top first, other evidence evidence has also been expressed by many researcher

Flat earth stories are complete haox. Creators of these stories are mocking people who believe their fictional stories. Hundreds years ago, A lot of scientists proved shape of earth. Even, we have photos of earth which were taken from universe. So, flat earth strories are loads of shit.

Earth is round. some evidence that the earth is round
-Month
-The appearance of the Vessel from Horizon
-Variation of Star Constellation
-View from the Altitude
-See Other Planets
-Time Zone
-Gravity center

 think the Earth is round. If the Earth were flat, there may be no changing of the seasons, there is no night or day....

I have no idea, but i'm sure as hell not going near the edge...

If all the bodies in the solar system and in the universe are indeed round, why would th earth the only thing that is flat, it doesn’t make any sense and to those who dispute that the earth is round why don’t they contribute and build a space shuttle and prove otherwise.

I'm pretty sure the Flat Earth Society started out as a joke. The entire thing is a good demonstration of how jokes can end up breeding the genuine article.

My theory is that the original FES was meant to be a prank, but some influencers thought it was real and attacked it. The attacks legitimized it in the eyes of many and this ended up forming genuine believers.

From the sound of it, you do believe that the earth is flat. Let me fire back at what you said. How do you also know that the theories of earth being flat is true, where are your proofs?? You cannot also prove it until you dont see it with your own eyes........

I don't believe flat earth community. But I made some researches about it. They conflict with many scientific theories. Also they can not answer many questions which is proven in past by scientists. Despite all flat earth community makes me impressive.

Season changes, apeheliona and perihelion and gravity all supports the earth being spherical

you are not allowed to anyway by the antarctic treaty of 1958

Mathematical, as we all know for every 100 meter length there is 7.8 mm curvature to make a ball of 40000 km circumference (or 1 km 7.8 cm, 100 km 780 m)
Its all nice and good to have theory but can some please show some practical evidence for it.
https://i.imgur.com/dGP11la.png

One of the most insane theories of our time. It is an indicator of the postmodern post-truth era. Doubt creeps into every field of knowledge, nothing is for certain anymore. The frightened ego, overwhelmed by the immensity of world affairs and the human condition per se, plunges into obscure fantasy and theory just to validate its confusion. Everyone wants to be special and you are special if you know some secrets, if you know something others don't know, so you pick a crazy theory and cling to it because it separates you from others (who you may call "sheep"). It's a sad thing that rationality is losing its grip in our society, but it's just a temporary setback. Regressions into the magical are a normal during evolution.

If the earth would have been flat then how it would be possible for day and nght to occur at different position and same time

That's one of the reasons why theories are interesting. Either can be true or not, theories can sometimes sound right because it is really convincing. However, a lot of people are arguing about it. So, I really think it is just better to seat around and just listen how people argue about it. It's better just to enjoy people sharing their thought about Earth being flat or not.

Hi all,

Good Day

Flat Earth is not true that's a joke, the Earth is Spherical and not a perfect Circle also, the difference: Both, circles and spheres are circular objects.
A circle is a two-dimensional figure, while a sphere is a three-dimensional figure. A circle is a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference)
consists of points equidistant from a fixed point (the center).

No the earth is not flat because if it has been so then we could have met sharp bend while walking straight for long

Every one can go with different theories of their own but it can be easiliy proven by the satellite images that earth I spherical in shape

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat. Walking around on the planet's surface, it looks and feels flat, so they deem all evidence to the contrary, such as satellite photos of Earth as a sphere, to be fabrications of a "round Earth conspiracy" orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.
The belief that the Earth is flat has been described as the ultimate conspiracy theory. According to the Flat Earth Society's leadership, its ranks have grown by 200 people (mostly Americans and Britons) per year since 2009. Judging by the exhaustive effort flat-earthers have invested in fleshing out the theory on their website, as well as the staunch defenses of their views they offer in media interviews and on Twitter, it would seem that these people genuinely believe the Earth is flat.

Just let other people believe in what they want to believe  ;)
I believe the Earth is spheric just because I imagine the solar system and the idea of flat Earth envokes many questions, not answers. Don't even want to waste my time on exploring this point of view.

just ask them with bill gates and other billionaires, they've seen all of them from above the earth. with their wealth, they can know the earth is round or flat.

Just go out to the sea and watch a boat sail away. if the last thing you see is the top of the boat before it disappears from view the earth is a sphere. if if doesn't disappear from view at all the earth is flat.

also seasons

and the fact you can see all the other planets are spheres with a cheap telescope

etc.

Well we all know that the surface of our earth is round and we all know that we all have different perspective but , we cant totally say it , but my teacher said that how can it be round if the antartic pole or the end of it is not seen yet. You know what i mean , but still scientist proven that our earth is round. A spehere.

Funny scientist you have in your country, because they have proven something completly different.
https://hooktube.com/watch?v=lU0VVFoJ5pI

flat or round there is no such a thing between the battle that  the earth is round ,,because god well only knows from the real  shape of the earth,,i don't blame the theory of science because i dont believe this matter that earth is round unless i cannot see ,,  ;)

Ignore that. The shape of earth doesn't affect to your live. You still have to work, married, etc.

everytime some is asking if the earth is flat or someone is trying to prove that the earth is flat i am wondering...... researches finished their work years ago....the earth is a planet in the solar system like every other planet... and planets are round..

The earth is not flat.Ancient explorers with modern scientific research has
absolutely proven that the earth is not flat but spherical in shape.Other geographical
objects as the sun, moon, and other eight planets as shown by science are not flat.It goes
to show that nature has no exception to this rule of shericity. Hence, planet earth rather than being
flat should look closely; at least, like other planets in its solar system.Telescopes and satellite
pictures affirm this same assertion.

I do believe in flat nose but I don't believe in flat earth. How foolish the archeologists, scientists  who prove that planet wasn't flat with evidences if the planet is really flat. Then I can say that everyday that NASA discovery on earth, it's daily planet views, and the pictures outside this planet that it wasn't flat. I think flat earth is so limited to do some activities. We can erase the magnitic force, gravitational force in every science books all over the world. Everything is useless and meaningless.
This is my views.

i've also read the news thru social media and dont know how did they come up with that idea. how could the gravity be possible if the earth is flat? is it possible to have day and night? i can't imagine the earth as a gigantic huge flat surface. it's just a hoax.

And much more, tax dollar wasted, space...............
The sooner you start the better.

How can you say  that earth is flat? honestly i don't believe that earth is flat ,,because its only  theory according to the science,,so that i don't believe on that,,because god is only knows the true shape of earth ,because its  only will created the earth,,people does not believe in god as created by earth is only know to push from the  unrealistic issue that earth is flat from realistic belief,,if one of them person you only belief from this science theory ,,nothing to based of our creator that earth is flat..

Well I've read some articles the link is down below feel free to look at though , but for me I guess it's something like a hoax but then again it's just a theory , scientist prove our earth is a sphere.

Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth

Link (about the theory of our earth is sphere): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth

I think if the earth has been flat then the sea bodies and river waters would have poured out

an opinion that I think doesn't make sense. Maybe people who argue like that should have brought itself into outer space to see exactly whether the Earth is round or flat.

I'ts more like a theory which no one knows , but scientist shown and proved that our earth is not a circle neither flat it's a sphere , and lot of reasearches said that our earth is round , and also me I think it's a hoax that our earth is flat.

I do not really believe that the earth is flat, because, science has proved that the earth is round. God knows the true shape of earth because God has created the earth.

hahah)) i guess it was just a joke!

Yep! It is really difficult to believe something that is opposite of what the proof shows.

8)

With the development of social media and video access sites like Youtube, we have uncovered a small part of the population that finally has a voice to preach to other that think like them.  Although the notion of a flat Earth is ridiculous and proven to be fact by scientific laws that govern the Universe, I do welcome the work that such uneducated people put forth in proving their views.  Kudos to them.

Flat  earth? Haha I think this is the biggest joke of all time. You know why scientists do not accept this theory? Because they are scientists and they knew it already. This is already a forgotten theory and I do not know why there are certain group of people initiating this theory until this time. Flat earth theory for me is a kind of a myth that want to insert into the world of of facts which is impossible.

So what if earth is flat? is there something wrong with it? and this is only a theories, there are lots of photos taken from space and yet still you don't believe that it is round? some says the pictures are fake, but why do they need to fake it? is there something that they need to hide from us?

The earth looks flat because we stand on it, as long as the eye will look straight and flat. In fact the earth is round, because the scientists have examined it from the outer space plane. And from the sky the earth looks round, great God with all the creations .

Flat Earth's statement is something that is very stupid I have ever heard. everyone knows that the earth can be seen with real and has had a lot of evidence that the shape is not flat. only stupid people who say that the Earth is flat.

Of course, none of us most likely saw the Earth from space, but in the same way you can not believe in atoms and microbes, if you do not see them. If you do not trust science, then what is left for us?

Earth is ofcourse round or how could else you define the changes of climates and variations in day time?

Anyone ever considered that 80% of flat earthers are just trolling? I am sure there are some who really believe it, but it is such a wierd statement to make, I think you can get some kicks out of peoples responses.

That said, I think these guys just need to do a weather balloon at the edge of the world in Antarctica ( I think thats where they say the edge is?). That should give them all the proof or lack thereof they need.

The main argument is that the governments would all suppress the real information and any organization like Spacex or BlueOrigin are government contractors. I grow up near Austria and know that Red Bull performed a space jump a few years which was live recorded. You can find the video if you look for "Felix Baumgartner Jump from Space"

You can clearly see this is an authentic live video performed by the austrian company Red Bull. This company is anything but a contractor of NASA and the video speaks for itself. Watch it and take a good look at the "Flat Earth"

There is a much bigger flat earth thread in off topic so check it out.  My personal belief is that the earth is not a sphere, but a round dome type shape.

Well for me i believe that it's a truth though and we can't prove that our earth isn't flat because as you can see many researches conclude that our earth is actually a flat.

But still we can't say , but some history said that our earth is flat.

Since the Earth has a huge mass: inside the planet, mostly solid, it extends the force of gravity. This force is determined by the movement of objects in the Universe. All cosmic bodies, which are affected by gravitational force, take the form of a ball, like other planets known to scientists.

But we know that inside the Earth is not completely solid. In the center is molten magma. How did it affect the shape of the planet? To change the shape under the influence of gravity, the body still needs to have some plasticity.

It is now known that the planet is not a perfect sphere, but a sphere with flattened poles. But if the Earth was entirely made of magma, she would have to have a perfect form. Also if it was gaseous. But fortunately for us, our planet is not perfect.

It's a common group euphoria, people with high level of ignorance want to fit in and join this nonsense, and the biggest incentive of flat earthers are the people who get pissed by how naive they are.

I also believe to the theory that it was round or sphere because when they go to the moon, they can see the earth.  The earth was like a moon that are no side.  As you can see, you can think that it was flat when no body says about their study.  Without study, you cannot go to other country without fear to fall from the pacific ocean, because you didn't know yet.

Almost all living things in the outer space must be round but not perfect circle.  The earth says that it is sphere in shape.

Yeah I don't really get people that believe the earth is flat.  Just the geography of the world wouldn't make sense if the world is flat.  By using geometry alone you can see that it's just not possible.  Australia for instance on the flat earth map people post around would have to be something like 8000-10000km across and it just flat out isn't.  Anyone can drive across Australia and measure it and it's not even half of that.  It's just fundamentally not flat, anyone willing to look at the data will come to the same conclusion.  Most people who believe it's flat aren't willing to honestly examine the data themselves, and instead harass random nasa employees at starbucks.

And you a joke who thinks this is normal

In my opinion as an ordinary person who has been brainwashed by the educational system for years. I still couldn't wrap my head around the notion that the earth is flat. I mean the flat earth theorists say that there was this conspiracy that the eartg was round when in truth it is flat. What would they get out of it? We've had a ton of flights around the world, why didn't they fly off the planet? How will a planet be in existence if it is flat? I'm sure there is an explanation and i have an open mind.

NOt even a theory i think.. it was a joke! you dont even need to think about it at all
GLobe earth is so damn legit man, proves all everywhere.. i think it is undebatable

Its Joke dont belive it cant be realy ,so what about Moon is it Flat too you see everyday its isnt even with your super zoom camera you can see its not flat ,so moon isnt flat Earth yes? 

You can go the space and see it on your own
You just need to have much money

I believe the Earth is a flat and motionless plane covered by a dome, this is the truth.

Thank you for telling us that this is truly what you believe. Because you believe it in the face of all the proof that is contrary, it is simply a religion for you.

I respect you from the standpoint that you are religious. After all, most things in life have no proof that people can put their finger on. And so they live by religion - what they believe - even though they don't realize it.

The proofs for globe earth are conclusive. The supposed proofs for flat earth are always missing some key elements to make them factual.

Try this ..

One of the best documented methods for determining the Earth's roundness was first performed (to our knowledge) by the ancient Greeks. This was achieved by comparing the shadows of sticks in different locations. When the sun was directly overhead in one place, the stick there cast no shadow. At the same time in a city around 500 miles north, the stick there did cast a shadow.

If the Earth were flat then both sticks should show the same shadow (or lack of) because they would be positioned at the same angle towards the sun. The ancient Greeks found the shadows were different because the Earth was curved and so the sticks were at different angles. They then used the difference in these angles to calculate the circumference of the Earth. They managed to get it to within 10% of the true value – not bad for around 250 B.C.

Modern flat Earth societies consist of individuals who promote the idea that the Earth is flat rather than a sphere

This assumes a large Sun 93 million miles away, in the Flat Earth model the Sun is a small close object about 32 miles wide and 3,000 miles high; this can be measured empirically with a sextant. In this model the dome is a concave mirror that is used to project holographic lights such as the Sun, Moon, stars, planets and other celestial objects.

When the Flat Earth model with its small close Sun is applied to the shadows and sticks experiment it yields the same results.

Except that it doesn't work the way you are thinking when the stick shadows are measured at more than what GE people call 90 degrees. At 90 degrees and larger, the shadows produce results that can only happen on a GE.

I don't know much about the matter. But, people have been in and out of orbit. We've launched satellites like once every year. We even have a space station where people of different nations live for an extended period of time. These people, to my knowledge haven't said that the earth they are looking at is flat. How csn we explain all the other planets the satellites we send out from saw? Is it that all other planets are round except or ours? Astrological calculations for space probes are done in the basis that our solar system is what we know now.

The Sun is projected off of a concave mirror and explains the results perfectly. You're debunking a strawman Flat Earth model.

earth is not a flat  :P its noob guys saying oldest

More than 500 people from 37 countries have traveled to space, mostly taking photographs and videos. It would be quite ridiculous to convince all of them to support any propaganda. And for a price, anyone can travel to space to view it of their own. Why don't the flat earth supporter raise a fund to send one of their member?

Don't confuse Jewish Hollywood movie fantasy with reality.

flat earth ,round earth, or what ever shape on the earth will still is the earth, that could we live,,,because  as of human temporary live on this earth there is nothing important to know the real shape of the earth,because god has only knows the real shape of the earth because its only will created of the earth,,instead you be know the essence purposed of your life,why are you living

And still... the fantasm around "everyone is lying, ervey picture is photoshoped" is true.  :P
I believe it is even the corner stone of the theory :p.

Have you seen any images of the earth being flat from space? You also aren't the only one that believes this theory.. isn't it also possible that you are being led?  A pessimist philosopher's theory is you can't disprove that we all aren't heads in vats.... so theoretically we don't know anything for sure. so where do you draw the line with "what could be" as a basis for believing? Just because something is possible definitely does not mean it is just as valid.  Deductive reasoning has to come from somewhere, and if your biggest argument is "you can't say it isn't valid" then its probably not a very strong argument.

Outer space is nothing but Hollywood fantasy to help keep goys mind focused on bullshit; Earth is a flat an motionless plane covered by a mirrored dome.

Space is a hoax.

Aluminum foil, curtain rods, sticky tape and BMX bicycle parts among other identifiable parts. Just fucking kill yourself.

there is no theory which asserts that the earth is flat in my opinion it is just a joke. and if true flat earth is not possible everyone who has gone out of space supports propaganda like this.

everytime when this question is asked in a serious conversation context I am experiencing a serious fac palm moment.
what is the next big re-discovery, that in fact it was the sun circuling Earth afterall?
no, the Earth is a sphere and it does circule the Sun.

clear if the earth is round, do you know if you go see the ocean in the position of the ship seen from a distance the ship only looks the top only, and then the closer the ship looks all the parts ..and that's proof that the earth is round

dude, are you serious? You do know books are published because it went to intensive validation of facts done by publishers right? And these books are the teachers basis for teaching lessons right?

Flat earth is a theory, Earth as round is a fact.

I do think you have actually saw the moon or even in the news. Can you imagine how will it rotate the earth if it's flat? Check NASA's images of the earth from their satellites, maybe you'll be enlighten.

The Earth is crazy big. You really think our naked eyes can see the curvature of the Earth from the ground? We are tiny little creatures on a massive planet, a planet so big that takes 20-something hours to get to the other side of the world in a plane traveling at like 900 kilometers-an-hour.

You know smart people utilize maths for that.

If you have something with a Circumference of 40075 units that gives a Radius of 6378.13 units
All good so far or?
Now if you take an Arc length of 1 unit of the 40075 it gives 0.0089831627002087 of a Degree (Angle)
All sweet, good.
With the above radius and degree you have a:
Chord length of 0.9999999989757555 unit (a wee bit less than the arc length of 1) and Sagitta (Height) of 0.00001959822085957352

Yes or No (lets say accurate to 6 decimal places in sagitta height)

this is a phenomenal example of how increased access to knowledge actually leads to greater ignorance....I recently saw a poll that said that only about 67% of millenials are SURE that the earth is round...jesus Christ, it was in chapter two of my first year physics book "how to measure the radius of the earth with a meter stick and a stop watch"...the greeks knew this shit thousands of years ago...and they calculated earth's radius to within 10%....knowledge is power, but too little knowledge is worse than total ignorance

so the govt invented the bmx bike in the late 60s....just so they could take parts from it to fake the moon landing...then kept it top secret for almost a decade until it leaked out for mass production in the mid to late 70s....ya, I think you nailed it here.....there is a term for what is occurring here (cant remember it)...when someone believes something outrageous simply for the sake of looking down on the rest of the people who aren't "smart enough" to figure it out...we seem to see more and more of it these days (i.e. flat earth) due to social media and nonstop advertising that convinces someone that they are a "superstar celebrity"...as reality trickles in, the individual will glom on to these ideas as a way to convince themselves that they actually ARE that "special" person that facebook and the media have told them about

It is interesting to study the reflexes and behavior of a person who thinks that the earth is flat.

Some flat earthers are mentally ill but most aren't. The flat earth conspiracy is no crazier than other retarded conspiracies that keep popping up everyday, ranging from celebrities that are still alive like michael jackson to illuminati, aliens visiting us and many more. Most of these people believe in them because they want to feel special, they are usually not very intelligent and they want to somehow feel smarter than everyone, calling people ''sheeple'' and all that.

The theory of flat earth destroys all our ideas about science. If you believe such theories, you can go along the path of anti-vaccination and deny science as a whole.

Should the the definition of quackery be expanded to include other branches of science the globe would be a shining example of such.

8 Reasons We Know the Earth Isn’t Flat

1.You Don’t Weigh Less at the Horizon
2.You Don’t Fall Off The Planet
3.You Don’t Always See the Same Constellations
4.We’ve Seen Earth From Space, From Multiple Angles
5.The Same Objects Make Different Shadows
6.Timezones Exist
7.The Rest of the Solar System
8.Eclipses Show You Earth’s Shape

I dont think so if the earth is flat. I think,  its round because there is a differences about night in some country. So, if the earth is flat, there is no differences time.

There are ton of really simple experiments to prove the earth isn't flat or that the sun or moon are far away. Very simple one explained here: https://youtu.be/hLPPE3_DVCw?t=4m15s
with 3 holes and the sunlight, although 2 holes could be explained by a flat earth and a close sun, using 3 holes and the shadows cast can only be explained by a far away sun and a spherical earth.

lol that is one of the oldest charlatan tricks in existence and shows your true foul character.

To everyone for free instant self test.
Take a bucket fill it with water.
Plug the sinkhole.
Fill the sink so it spins either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Wait until the water is quiet.
Now pull the plug.
It drains the direction you entered it.

Now do the same in the opposite direction.
And again it will drain the way you filled it.

Water has memory.

Shadows don't have memory, you are free the do the experiment and see by yourself.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the government put out the flat earth story so that people would lump it in with all of the other conspiracy theories and people would just disregard them all out of hand because the flat earth story is so dumb?! Haha

Being a curious person isn't an easy thing. Being skeptical can't be done with a blink of an eye. Everything needs a process. So for those of you who already have a broad curiosity, you should feel lucky. In this case, although the earth is clearly round (that's what's in the school books), we can't just believe it out of nowhere. Sometimes questioning such things just keeps our sanity alive.

How would you fined that earth is flat,?I think is not important thing to know of them that earth is flat,because this is only theory based on science,,

I believe that that it just a hoax since no one and nobody has proven with valid evidence that the earth is flat. If that is so then why is there a sunset and a sunrise and how would the earth revolves around the sun? If it is true then there would be place or countries which is unreachable by sun light and I think that it is too impossible.

I don't want to sound dismissive but this is one conspiracy I refuse to entertain. I think this is misinformation spread by the deep state to mislead and discredit people who are very open minded. It instantly makes any other views you hold invalid in the eyes on the masses.

Problem is in this particular case that we have photographic evidence, tons of it and also video and even livestream evidence so it's quite clear that the earth is round, if you are at that degree of skepticism then you will think everything is fake.

The belief in flat earth, and the belief in globe earth, and the belief in some other shape for the earth, are all religions. Why? Because they are known by belief (faith).

The faith that is right is the one that is proven by science and observation.

''There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.'' You could call anything a religion if you wanted but it kind of losses its meaning, doesn't it? Most people view religion as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
