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.
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.
