REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE: Flat Earth

[BADecker]

I hope they remember to launch from near the North Pole. If they don't, they might run into the side of the dome before they get to the stratosphere.

Good point. Look at all those issues with rockets rubbing against the sky when DomeX launches them from Florida.

All I could see was the hole in the sky.

haven't had a good laugh in quite a long time. reading your replays is just awesome. also a good channel for making fun of flat earthers: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRtsZ5Iak9wSLsQLQ3XOAeA

there are still many people who believe the earth is flat... (✪ฺܫ✪ฺ)
I once went to a village and then met one of the old ladies there, she said that the earth was flat and had a tip there, honestly it made me laugh a little.

But the real point isn't those who believe it. Nor is it those who disbeleive it. Rather, it's the ones who know it.

Believing implies opinion. Knowing implies science.

Last time I heard of a flat earther he killed himself right after seeing the earth is round. Not suicidal just his helium baloons or whatever he used went rekt. There's a few success stories of flying baloon chairs that went quite the distance.

^^^ You are simply showing us how Fauci, Birx, Trump, the Governors, the WHO, and other world and medical leaders will feel when the truth gets out that it's been a spamdemic.

Those are understandably good and valid points to consider under the circumstances since a lot of other people often do a "knee-jerk reaction" instead, rather than having an open mind and discussion about ideas.

Honestly, fiction or non-fiction at all re: flat earth theories (or whatever theories for that matter), I don't know why those against flat earthers are even finding the time to dish out those "butt hurt" comments, more often than not.

Finally! We will have a way to go beyond the sun. We might even touch the dome.

Great!

Bottom line, how much will it cost for anyone to actually book a flight up there and when is the soonest possible time for anyone to actually do so?

I like this way more than the virgin galactic and other, way less pollution.

If you read the article you'd see " $250,000 a seat. She expects tickets with finalized prices to go on sale next year. "

Well, sorry then that's all i found.

What I actually meant to ask was, what would be the actual finalized selling price (not an estimate), including when the scheduled flights would be posted and listed (not a time frame only) instead.

Unfortunately Bitcointalk's most famous flatearther locked his thread after merely ~800 pages without conclusively proving whether the Earth is flat or not. We can continue this extremely important discussion here. Anything with the word "earth" in it is on topic. Bonus points if you can prove that it's shaped like a tostitos scoop.

what on earth is this thing!

Actually, you can go to 'thespaceperspective' official website and 'Reserve your seat'.
I am sure that their sales representatives will contact you soon so you can ask them.

^^How can you calculate the distance when travelling with an airplane?
There is not any way to do it by yourself - only machines such as GPS can do this for you and you cannot understand if it lies or not...

What is this nonsense bullshit.

You're not using the pizza Earth map. -50 flat merits.

[nutildah]

You're not using the pizza Earth map. -50 flat merits.

I know the pizza map is just an azimuthal projection map, which is also bullshit. I'm a non-conformist flat earther. I think the earth is regular map shaped and the ocean just spills off the sides, collected in big buckets and redistributed as rain by ancient alien technology.

So the Earth is rectangular and when you fly from Tokyo to LA (well, used to back in the day when air travel was still a thing) - what happens exactly? I have a feeling we're not being told the full truth.

I don't think you're ready for this, but when you cross the edge of the map you are simply transported to the corresponding longitude on the opposite side of the map, kind of like what happens in Pac Man. That's just going east/west over the Pacific though. North/south edges are still bordered by ice walls, obviously.

But that's not all.

Crossing the edge going in either the east or west direction causes your body to be disintegrated by a laser barrier and you are re-molecularized on the other side. So basically every time someone crosses the barrier they die and are reanimated on the other side (again its alien technology -- I don't fully understand it), but the process happens so instantly that nobody ever feels it or notices anything different.

There's a few populations of Eastern Siberians and Polynesians that regularly cross the barrier, some several times a day, and it is found to have long lasting psychological effects on them. They report feelings of dissociation about 10 times more on average than populations of the same ethnic groups that don't live next to the barrier.

I think I read that in a book once. For sure its somewhere on Youtube.

One of the basic questions regarding FE is, where is the base idea of flat? Look around at the whole Earth. There are mountains and there are valleys... not flat. If you want to use the ocean surface on a calm day as flat, what about the mountains and valleys under the surface?

On flat land, and even on flat land that is under water, there are many levels of flat land. For example, in the Rocky Mountains there are loads of mesas and tables that are at many different levels, and they are all reasonably flat. So, which one would a FE person use as his base for where flat really exists so that he could use it as the flat of the earth amidst all the mountains and valleys?

There isn't anything that we know of that is flat. Sound waves and radio waves aren't flat. Graphene isn't flat, even though it is one molecule thick. What is there that is flat? Nothing!

Flat Earth people seem to be talking about something that they really can't describe... flat. And if they can't describe it, how can they imagine that it might exist anywhere?

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat, and, it seems, they're serious.
BUt, the Earth is roughly a sphere.
