Re: Flat Earthtards - What "Forces" Keep the Flat Earth in the Flat Shape?
So. - what keeps s flat earth flat?
Is it flat or not? If it is then how? What forces cause this unusual shape considering all others are spherical?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78016817


What others are spherical?
 Quoting: leader


All the other planets.

Jupiter has been photographed rotating by many amateur astronomers.

This also shows Jupiter's moon Io orbiting the planet.

No doubt you'll say this is CGI, but there are 1000s of astronomers that have seen this.

I think the planets are just holograms or blobs of plasma. Is my belief worse than your belief?

Are you claiming nasa is the first ones to theorize a globe earth?

Of course not, the hoax began like 2000 years ago I think? What is your point?

No. It started 500 years ago with this guy; [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
 Quoting: eversoclear


Before this, and it’s really interesting: Eratosthenes of Cyrene, for the ballers. (Not arguing with flat earthers-you have the Bible-no argument from me. Personally, I’m a Bible baller.)

“While living in Alexandria, Eratosthenes received some amazing correspondence from the city of Syene in southern Egypt. In particular, it said that, on the Summer Solstice,
the shadow of someone looking down a deep well would block the reflection of the Sun at noon.
In other words, the Sun would be directly overhead at this time, not a single degree to the South, North, East or West. And if you had a completely vertical object, it would cast absolutely no shadow. As you can see, below there are indeed places in there world where this is the case.

But Eratosthenes knew that this wasn’t the case where he was, in Alexandria. Sure, the Sun came closer to being directly overhead at Noon on the Summer Solstice in Alexandria than at any other time during the year, but vertical objects still cast shadows.
And — like any good scientist — Eratosthenes did the experiment. By measuring the length of the shadow cast by a vertical stick during the solstice noon (when the shadow was shortest), he could figure out what angle the Sun made with the vertical direction at Alexandria.

And the answer he got was one-fiftieth of a circle, or 7.2 degrees. But at this time, in Syene, the angle the Sun was making with an identical vertical stick was zero degrees! What could be causing this? In perhaps a stroke of genius, Eratosthenes realized that the Sun’s rays could all be parallel, and that the Earth could be curved! “

But unfortunately, Eratosthenes was wrong, and the sun's rays are not all parallel and therefore his conclusion was wrong.

Our close to spherical Earth is that shape due to the equal pull of gravity from all direction. Like all other known planets and moons.

Question for flat Earthtards; What keeps the Earth flat?
 Quoting: Giordano Bruno


Flat Earthers are fucktards. It's a CIA plot and has been for years.

Get a Life!
 Quoting: Dxguy7


Flat earth has been around longer than the CIA, dildo.

Any liquid released in space immediately takes a spherical form. The Moon is a sphere the sun is a sphere. Every known planet when observed through a telescope is observed to be spherical. What are you smoking?
