If the Earth is flat - how it’s possible:
You can make the following flights, starting at 9am, finishing at 3pm (or earlier) and staying at the hotel till the next day:
-
London, Uk => New York => Los Angeles => Tokyo => Doha => London, UK
-
The above series of trips starts and ends in the same place.
-
All the time, while flying, you’ve got the Sun on the left hand side.
You can only explain that in 2 ways:
-
Earth is a globe as we know it, or
-
Earth is flat, but then it needs to have a shape of a donut where the sun is in the center of it, so you fly around it.
The second would mean: when you fly South of London you should cross the middle of a donut (which is the Sun) after 12 hours of trip.
Let’s fly towards the sun:
London, UK => South Africa => the Sun.
Unfortunately, after 12 hours you end up in an extremely cold area.
It's a lot simpler than that.
Have you ever seen the sun rise in any direction other than East or travel in any direction than West? Anywhere in the world?
No, you haven't. No one has.
If the Earth was a disc, there would be somewhere on Earth, every day, where the sun rises due south and sets due north, and vice versa, where the sun crosses the "edge".
This has never been observed by anyone, therefore the Earth is not a disc.
There are many government narratives that I don't believe, but FE doesn't make any sense based on observable reality. If the Earth isn't a globe, it's definitively not flat.
If the earth were flat it wouldn't have a core, and so it wouldn't have a magnetic field, and so there wouldn't be a North. Also there wouldn't be an atmosphere because it's the magnetic field that protects it from blowing away with solar winds.
Possibly. Certainly it wouldn’t have a “core” of a sphere, anyway.
This is a leap. Honestly the idea that the molten core is responsible for the magnetic field is incredibly unscientific and stupid - regardless of the true shape of the world. It was simply made up and taught to children. It’s mythology. The geodynamo has been discarded by most all competent geophysicists.
Actually, the problem is far worse than that. Fundamentally there would be no atmosphere because there would be an infinite vaccum directly next to it. The solar wind would have nothing to blow at all if that were the case.

It moves in a circle bro, along the equator, therefor it “sets” in the west for everyone. The continents are not aligned like you see in a zoomed out version of google maps. You will also notice on goog maps Antarctica goes over the whole bottom of the map. Why? If this is the case, why is the north pole not depicted in the same way? Because NP is centre and Antarctica is an ice barrier circling the world.
Light from stars travels billions of years yet somehow people on the other side of your flat disc don't see the sun 24 hours a day.
You are seriously a fucking idiot.
Ah, but does it really?! We are certainly taught that it does, and required to repeat it in order to matriculate...
Right, because the sun isn’t bright enough AND there is too much matter in the way.
I recommend viciously attacking the thought, but never the thinker. Ad hominem is the last resort of the intellectually feeble. Your ideas/positions should stand on their own merits, and not require such mudslinging.
There are other views than your own, and everyone who considers them is not automatically an idiot for doing so.
Yeah, based on the physics of parallax & trigonometry. Something your little brain did not study, so you think it's all fake. If you want to argue against the physics of light, you go right ahead.
BTW, odd that you should use the word matriculate since you are claiming things without any empirical evidence, which is the fundamental basis of science.
So sure, claim anything you want, but until you provide such evidence, you're just a wanker with a keyboard.
I don't argue with people who think rationally and can provide facts to support their claims. I argue with low-IQ morons who think they are smarter than those that matriculate. Lol.
The concept is clearly above your IQ level. Maybe try figuring out the conspiracy about bert and ernie being accused of stealing the cookies while cookie monster is covered in crumbs.
Dude is Mr Round Earth if there was ever such a thing. He's a great guy who cusses everyone he meets. I hope to get him drunk one day, he'd be a blast.
This is a mistake caused by you conflating two incompatible worldviews. If the earth is a disc and has an edge, there is no reason to assume that the sun would cross over that edge. You are probably imagining a flat disc “floating through space” - which is what i mean by conflating incompatible worldviews.
True (as far as i am aware).
False, it just means the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west regardless of where you are on earth. It doesn’t prove (nor depend on) the earth’s shape in any way.
If you’d like to understand it / have it make sense - please join us to discuss it on flatearthresearch! Of course, simply because something makes sense doesn’t make it correct and vice versa.
Possibly. In my personal view, assuming it is covered in 70+% liquid water, it is surely mostly flat.
