Flat Earth

[BADecker]

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.

Soon they will have enough members to get funds from Government as a minority group... the thing that they have been after all along. And you and I are helping their membership grow just by responding to this thread and posting in it.

If the Earth is flat, then explain seasons. How is it winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere at the same time?

HemiSPHERE... thank you for confirming (again) that our planet is a spheroid.

If the sun really circled the Earth that way, the equator would have FAR more daylight time than anyone at southern Chile or Canada.

And, of course, no midnight Sun on Antarctica.

Where is the evidence that the sun is that close to earth? Why is the sun moving that way in the flat earth model? Is the sun alive?

The Sun is a holographic projection off of the mirrored dome (engineered technology). If you measure it with a sextant it's about 32 miles wide and 3,000 miles high. Being a projection the Sun doesn't exist at a specific point in the sky; its position depends on the viewer.

Schizophrenia is a hell of a disease eh? So the sun doesn't actually exist, it's being projected from a (mirrored dome?)

Must be really hot where the poor projectionist works then.

He is probably on a tower made from unobtanium so he doesn't really feel the heat.

So, the sun is a disc having a 32-mile-wide diameter, thus itself not a globe, correct?

No, you dummy, the sun is a projection, duh.

Is the projection of a disc or a globe object?

I bet they can make it in any shape. Think of the eclipse, that's some hardcore engineering right there to make the projection into a shape of a banana or a diamond ring.

What you see is what you get, I lean towards it being just a disc projected into 3D space.

"Spherical concave mirror refers to a mirror with a side that has a similar shape as a sphere. If the radius of the sphere is r when the curved surface of a spherical mirror is extended, the focal point of the spherical mirror exists in the sphere image, which is 1/2r when the radius has the same center as the sphere. In the direction of the central axis of the spherical concave mirror, if the distance from the mirror to the object is a, the distance to the reflection is b, and the distance to the focal point is f, then a relationship of 1/a+1/b=1/f will be established within them. The image formed by a plane mirror appears at the back of the mirror, whereas the image formed by a spherical concave mirror appears in the front of the mirror which has the effect of making it seem like the object is actually floating in the air. ..." -- Hyeyoung Yoo, Ph.D.

You too, seems pretty new... never used it huh?

Wait, is that a brain or a holographic projection of a brain from the mirrored dome?

That's a CGI enhancement of a chunk of walnut meat with an almond under it.

The sun was shining on the sea,
      Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
      The billows smooth and bright —
And this was odd, because it was
      The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
      Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
      After the day was done —
"It's very rude of him," she said,
      "To come and spoil the fun.

Next time you are on a long haul aircraft flight, take a spirit level with you into the cabin and observe that the aircraft flies horizontally for thousands of miles whilst maintaining the same altitude.

Next time you are on a long haul aircraft flight, take a spirit level with you into the cabin and observe that the aircraft flies horizontally for thousands of miles whilst maintaining the same altitude.

And then get the angular transponder and radar readings from various airports and military bases that show that the flight is really in a gigantic curve around the globular earth.

Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Explanation: No one, presently, sees the Moon rotate like this. That's because the Earth's moon is tidally locked to the Earth, showing us only one side. Given modern digital technology, however, combined with many detailed images returned by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), a high resolution virtual Moon rotation movie has been composed. The above time-lapse video starts with the standard Earth view of the Moon. Quickly, though, Mare Orientale, a large crater with a dark center that is difficult to see from the Earth, rotates into view just below the equator. From an entire lunar month condensed into 24 seconds, the video clearly shows that the Earth side of the Moon contains an abundance of dark lunar maria, while the lunar far side is dominated by bright lunar highlands. Currently, over 20 new missions to the Moon are under active development from four different countries, most of which have expected launch dates either this year or next.
