The Flat Earth

[silkyman]

It's gone full on 'religion argument' now, hasn't it!

10 pages and the idea of 'fish eye plane windows' and I think we're done.

I've done some looking and everything on this thread is mirrored on genuine flat earth sites. This shit's real, people.

and for balance........ genuine NASA sites............that shit is also real people

i have actually been to space. feel free to ask any questions, but, as probably the only member of this forum to have done a spacewalk (!), allow me to tell u that earth is most assuredly round

 

[Stevencc]

Did you replicate the Homer Simpson eating crisps in zero gravity scene?

If so was it fun?

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

thanks for the question 'Stevencc'

sorry to disappoint, but due to the issues of both 'vacuum' and 'health and safety', eating outside a sealed, pressurised and oxygenated environment (eating in space) was strictly prohibited. good question though

Did you feel anything as you passed through the Van Basten Belts

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

thanks for the question 'johnny todd'

i'm dreadfully afraid, but i'm sorry to say i know not of these 'van basten belts' u speak of. i do know of van basten the footballer, and, as a regular wearer of them, i know of belts too, as well as their cosmological kin (such as the kuiper belt). sorry to disappoint but good question

Can you tell me how Fibannacci the mathematician and the Suns orbit prove the earth is not round.

^^ doesn't know the scene

pleb

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

thanks for the question 'ebeneezer goode'

unfortunately both to your question not being a, well, question. and u being a, well, insufferable c***, this is as much as i can say right now. thanks for participating though

and thanks for another outstanding couple of queries 'johnnytodd'

i know little of fibanacci the mathematician, but fibonacci was quite an important character in season 1 of prison break, don't want to spoiler anything here but pm me if u want further details on how that simply groundbreaking drama plays into our exploration of the stars. i know orbits prove the earth is round as i saw it move whilst i was in space. thanks for asking johnnytodd

Thanks Ian, you really went the extra mile to make sure I got the thorough answer I was looking for. You are a credit to your profession and it sickens me to see you with the modship you so obviously deserve.

 

[johnnytodd]

c'mon lads lets keep this sensible............

 

[silkyman]

Why? You aren't...

 

[johnnytodd]

You are yet to prove a single thing about the round earth..........other than composite photo's from the freemasons.

 

[silkyman]

It really is religion now.

You're the one who has to disprove the evidence, not the other way around.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Science isn't really about "proving" things, it's about disproving them. And any evidence concerning planets being round is discounted by Mr Todd as being a conspiracy.

It's all quite interesting.

Also think if you believe in a flat earth you also need to believe that our current "planet" has to have been created by God or aliens.

Also the flat earth idea of the flat earth travelling UP at 1g in order to give us gravity is a fascinating idea.

what evidence do you have, that can be proven?

Gravity? well no it's a theory
Photographs? well no there composites/CGI'd from NASA (who admit this)
Curved horizon?.........LOL
Flight paths?.........LOLOLOL

is that any worse than a BIG BANG ?................LOL

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky explain consciousness?

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky show me some clouds disappearing over the horizon...........LOL..............aren't they just going further away ?

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky isn't it funny that civilizations 1000's of years old knew the earth was flat, all their sundials still work to this day based on a flat earth .................LOL

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky, we have been told since school that apparently mariners in years gone by believed they would fall of the earth at the horizon..............yet you find hundreds of civilizations 1000's of miles away from each other using the same tools and building materials and yet they have never met or traded.............just a coincidence?

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky, show me where in the bible it says ' the earth is flat' ...... LOL

 

[johnnytodd]

Hey Silky, "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 40:22)"

LOL

I know I'm effectively talking to a brick wall, but for what it's worth I do like me some history...

So, how exactly would you go about building a sun dial based on the earth being either round or flat? Surely you'd build a sun dial based on... the sun...? and how we see the sun move. The movement of the sun didn't magically change at any point based on the belief of the world's population as to the planet's shape.

Take probably the most famous and most impressive ancient world time keeping piece - the Mayan calendar. They worked out over 5000 years ago that there were cycles going on involving first and foremost the sun, also the moon and recognisable stars. Quite ahead of their time in that respect. They measured and calculated the solar and lunar cycles and built their calendar around it. The predictable cycles were the basis for the time keeping. The shape they may or may not have thought the earth to be, was irrelevant.

The Ptolemaic model of the solar system (ancient Greece) put Earth as the centre of the solar system (instead of the Sun), and still made accurate predictions because it understandably observed and assumed the movements we see of the sun and stars, to be revolving around us, as they might seem to be. Whilst the Ptolemaic model correctly plotted where we on earth would see the sun and stars at any given time - it doesn't mean it was the correct model of the solar system as a whole.

I know that's wasted on you JT but there we go anyway, perhaps someone else will be interested by it.

ffs Mark the thread was dying, let it...never mind, I'll let Disney do the rest, better fiction entertainment than most of this thread.

so another person with no actual evidence of a round earth.......cheers.

I agree, this is the most interesting bit of the whole idea. I don't understand how they fit the other planets into it though, are they also accelerating with Earth? I hope our friend Mr Todd can answer.

I would answer but apparently people want the thread to die........LOL

Why come into the thread then?
