Since politics and religion became illegal, it's time for science to shine! Do you think there is a flat planet in the universe?
Or in a different universe (if we live in a multiverse) where physical laws could be different?

Edited by One Shot Ted: 3/12/2020 7:07:48 PMA celestial body is only classified as a planet if it meets a certain set of criteria. One of those criteria is that the object needs to be spherical or sphere-like in nature. By definition, there is no such thing as a flat planet.

1 ReplyWell.....if a planet gets swallowed by a black hole it would probably be flat for a while.

All planets are shaped like strips of crispy bacon.

There is a small chance of a 2 dimensional alternate universe. There is an even small chance of a 2 dimensional planet in our universe. There is no chance that earth is either of those 😇

2 RepliesThe words science and flat planet do not go together.

6 RepliesIn this day and age science is considered political. Apparently whether or not you accept scientific facts is just a matter of personal opinion and political allegiance. Case in point: climate change, evolution and vaccines are apparently only real if you want to believe they are real.

4 RepliesIf it is flat, would it actually be a planet? [quote][i]A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant [b]that is massive enough to be [u]rounded by its own gravity[/u][/b], is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals.[/i][/quote] So, no.

No/maybe

If it’s infinite, yes

Edited by pValue2010: 3/12/2020 3:41:09 PMThe only way I imagine a flat planet could exist is if some freak collision(s) would occur to slice it in such a way. But long-term, gravity would prevail and make it spherical again. In a different universe, it's hard to imagine that gravity would exist to such an extent that planets would form, but not to the extent that it would force them into spheres. Then again, it's hard to speculate on anything outside of our universe and our 3D intuitions and perceptions.

Not in our universe, no. Gravity’s a field force, in a 3D field. That’s why everything’s all spherical and shit.

Flat Earthers have some merit to their claims, yes. The earth used to be flat, when it was known as Pangea. It was one flat, circular disk, named from the ancient Sumerian words “Pancake” and “Gealeatine” because it represented the shape of a pancake,and it’s muddy, earthy, dirt type texture was similar to a pudding like dessert known as gealeatine. So “Pangea” roughly translates to “Pudding Pancake” As it flipped through space, it eventually landed on a tectonic plate that was heated by the sun. This tectonic hot plate became tilted, so this pudding pancake slid into the water and was melted by the sun, causing it to clump up and disperse into what we now call “Incontinents” because if you eat Pudding Pancakes that are too gooey, they go right through you. This is what led our planet into the great epoch known as the “Porcelain Period” in which the earth was placed into a spinning vortex which eventually caused the earth to spin and congeal into the round shape it is today.

It probsbly wouldn’t be classified as a planet in that case.

Inb4lock because theres no way in the ninjas lack of judgement that this doesnt get locked

Two dimensions? Only if you have one eye.

That reminded me of this...

I have my money on there being space attack helicopters.
-
The earth is flat.
-
It’s an ever expanding world.
-
Flat planet within the universe? No. Flat planet in other dimensions or universes? Definitely.
-
Yes it is more than posible.

Science has rituals and cycles... "The burden of proof".. Some feel... It is as [redacted] and [redacted] as talking about [redacted] or [redacted] or [redacted].

3 RepliesNah, but $10 there’s a triangle shaped one

Science will probably lead on to religious debate. So.... watch yourselves
