So I was discussing general conspiracy theories with someone and the subject of flat Earth came up. I'm not very knowledgeable on this so I didn't do a great job explaining why someone would think the Earth is flat.
Can anyone give me the main reason why flat Earthers believe what they believe? I gather it's an elite/resources thing to restrict the plebs from some amazing hidden area that is off limits. Something to do with Antarctica?
What are the top 5 reasons people can justify this claim with that haven't already been debunked? I tried to have a look myself but there is a whole lot of crazy out there on this subject.
Yeah. Proof of flat Earth. Well, what they think is proof anyway. The best arguments, evidence etc.
Those who made that claim is flat earth society, known controlled opposition, just like the globebusters. You are not going to get the truth in the top google search result, or from anyone promoting flat earth in the main steam media.
I cant help with flat earth, but here are a couple of thing that dont add up.
Ancient structure alignments. Continental drift alone should throw things off, much less hurtling through space. Maybe our assumed alignments are wrong but there are an awful lot of coincidences.
Rainbows. Each water particle refracts the light splitting them into each color of the visible light spectrum. Cool, but how does that reassemble into a gigantic cohesive rainbow? Shouldn't it be a bizillion multicolored sprinkles? How is it visible for miles at every location?
The Sun and Moon exactly 400 times smaller and 400 times closer for an exact size match. Plus the exact orbit to overlap. (and so much more)
Clouds maybe? Billions of gallons of water capable of dropping inches of rain over square miles of land. 8.8 pounds per gallon. How is that possible? Water weighs more than air. Dont know if anyone has weighed water vapor? Shouldn't the water move from high density to low density instead of grouping up in clouds in any case?
Speaking of density, boats float because they displace more weight in water than they weigh. We have between 1-2 square meters of skin. 1550 square inches per meter. At sea level air weighs 14.7 PSI. 14*1500 (to keep it round) 21,000. I dont know about you but I weight less than that. And thats just surface pressure exerted, not cubed. Lets look at it a different way to test it. Scuba diving, The deeper you go the more pressure exerted on you. The more you should float. Your displacing more weight. When you go deeper do you have to fight to go down? No you fight to not sink.
These are my observations and mental masturbations so I could be completely missing factors.
There are none, the earth is fucking round, just like every other celestial body for the same reason bubbles are not square or flat.
they actually believe the whooooole sky is a projection! the moon isn't REALLY round, and the other planets aren't round, the are just discs, and we are looking at them from the "top"
yes..they believe this
I am a Bible believing Christian, so I would say the sky is what we call heaven. There are at least three heavens.
As far as I have observed, the moon is a disc, I only seen one side of it. Could still be a ball, although who knows. The moon gives off its own light, as it is a light source. No rock I ever seen reflects light as brightly as the moon does, and the moon been very bright the last few years, common to see it out during daytime now.
Planets is what we call wandering stars, they are there to help us keep track of time. Try find a telescope and look to see what they look like for yourself.
Try reading a book about the heavens not written 2000 years ago.

No idea what anyone would count as proof for anything. On top of my head I can say:
The sun always turns to the right, in a clockwise direction. No matter where you are on earth, or no matter what season of the year.
Venus can be seen in the middle of the night. During winter in the northern hemisphere.
Northstar remains stationary (in the same position) throughout the night.
Footage from amateur high altitude balloons show a level surface.
Water always finds its level, then remain level.
No empirical and objective proof that we live on anything other then a level and stationary surface exist.
Yeah, cause we're on a ball spinning away at night and towards at morning. Fuck, did you even pay attention at school?
WRONG!! You only see it at twilight and mornings, geesh.
Uh, yeah OK
Because it's directly above the north pole. So what?
No they fucking do NOT - 100% false
Water on a ball follows the curved surface because gravity pulls from all sides of the ball equally towards the middle. Just like ice on a frozen planet, or the shimmering colors of soap on a bubble.
You could not be more wrong. Absolutly low IQ stuff dude. Go research and learn facts, not some fuck wit on YouTube.
you're an inbred, shut up
