Undeniable Proof That The World IS Flat

First of all, I want you to know: the proof is real. [u][i][b]The world is flat.[/b] [/u][/i]To prove this I would like to offer two intuitive, undeniable proofs. First, Jumping. Jumping proves that the world is flat. If the world were indeed "spinning" a simple jump and the ground would move beneath your feet. Imagine throwing a paper airplane form a moving truck: same concept. The plane is gone the second it is released. Helicopters also illustrate this principle. Why do we take jets everywhere? If the world rotated we could just fly up and let the world below "spin" to our destination. Lastly, if the world actually spun around at 10,000 mph we would all be flung off like someone on the outside of the gravatron ride at the fair. So why do so many believe what is intuitively absurd? People believe what their society teaches them. They swallow "[b][i]this is true cuz science says[/i][/b]" explanations without any demonstrative, intuitive proof. The Neo-Liberal agenda has been afoot for centuries now. It started with an alchemist getting hit with an apple under an apple tree, who thought mercury could be turned into gold. It continues today with schools that reinforce beliefs that perpetuate the social economic system. A prisoner of a round earth is a subjugated being; a being far more willing to pay it's taxes. If you would like to learn more, a found these sites helpful...

Or, Earth round cuz Newton[/b][/i]" responses. Edit 2: Some food for thought: [spoiler]The soldiers of truth and reason of the Flat Earth Society have drawn the sword, and ere another generation has been educated and grown to maturity, will have forced the usurpers to abdicate. Like the decayed and crumbling trees of an ancient forest, rent and shattered by wind and storm, the hypothetical philosophies, which have hitherto cumbered the civilized world, are unable to resist the elements of experimental and logical criticism; and sooner or later must succumb to their assaults. The axe is uplifted for a final stroke - it is about to fall upon the primitive sphere of the earth, and the blow will surely “cut the cumberer down!” http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/tiki/tiki-index.php[/spoiler]

    • I apologise for the upcoming essay, however the response isn't simple enough to put in few words. Please stick it out if you can though and if you can also argue it even better. Earth generates its own gravitational field from the magnetic polarity of its core (which rotated at the same speed as Earth, hence why we don't fly away as immense speed when we jump), the poles emit their fields in either a positive or negative charge but they connect and change polarity to the opposite around to the equator, which is why water spins in different directions when it is drained on either side of the equator. This is felt identically 360 degrees around the Earth, (evidenced by the orbit of the ISS, as if it slightly disaligned from perfectly straight against the circumference of flat Earth it would be thrown with increasing speed towards the North or South Pole then stop instantaneously when it reaches it, crushing it into a genuine 2d object)- the same thing is shown in spherical magnets. Circular magnets have a oval shaped field rather than the spherical one the Earth has. If the Earth was flat the moon would be drawn to either the North or South Pole (whichever it was closer to) and the other side of the planet would never see it. If you believe each side of the planet has habitable land on it, then there would be a steep curve when trying to cross the equator, which could be nearly impossible to climb up and you would then fall a great distance at terminal velocity when you crossed over the equator, making flying across it extremely turbulent- which is to say would bend the plane as it flew across it. Additionally Everyone who has been to space would have to lie about the true shape of the Earth (which admittedly is an easy task considering how few people have been there) and every camera that has filmed or photographed Earth would have to have been modified to warp the image of the planet into a spherical shape- but not anything else it films or photographs. If the entire planet was on one face, the "Blue Marble" should show the entire planet rather than just Asia and Austrilasia and the Earth would defy the laws of magnetism (where the South Pole would encompass the entire circumference of the planet and someone standing there would be stretched across the entirety of the 40,075km). Regarding the paper plane and the truck analogy, it's a good one but not wholly true. You see, the Earth spins at 1040km/h (not 10,000mph) and what we define as being motionless is actually moving at that speed, but so is everything else (the earth must spin for Days and nights to occur or we would all be in a night or day at the same time and wouldn't need time zones) and it is all being forced down by the gravitational field of Earth (In order for you to let the world spin underneath you, you must be outside of the atmosphere where there are not particles nor forces propelling you forward to match the speed of Earth's rotation, therefore you fall towards Earth at the same speed or slower as you fall away from it- Orbiting). If your car was moving at 50km/h on Earth, in the grand scheme of the Universe it's actually moving at 1090km/h. When you let go of the plane from that car, it loses speed becuase it is colliding with particles that are moving slower than it and it does not have the means to increase it's speed, like a car or a person, which returns it to the speed of the particles. When you jump directly up, you do actually loose a tiny amount of speed however the velocity/mass ratio of a human is so great that in any time a human is in the air for unassisted it is nearly zero and Earth's gravity ensures you are pushed back down to the ground. Flat Earth theory is undenyibly interesting to read on as sometimes there is a genuinely convincing argument for it, however spherical Earth theory is far more consistent and there is much more evidence for it.

      • Man, I've grown to be sick of this. I've seen your 'proofs', and never once do you even consider the common sense and scientific justifications of these things. You called aircraft 'hoaxes'. The horizon is curved, we've gone entirely around the world, we've been to both poles. All you're doing now is pissing people off. You need to go and -blam!- your self.

              The guys who started flat earth society remain among the greatest trolls of all time. Seriously THE master class in how to troll, and they do it with class, flair, and perfect integrity. They've gotten everyone from your average internet denizen to astronauts and, most recently, Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Zero cracks in their armor. Amazing. OP, I can see you trying to continue this here, as have many others over the years and years and years that flatearthsociety has been around. But like most of the people who try to bring this idea to Bnet because this is a relatively easily trolled forum, you are really not doing it very well. I suggest you spend a little more time on the flatearthsociety's website and observe how the best of their leaders actually play the game. Maybe someday you can even start your own original one instead of baiting this forum with a shoddy, stripped down copy of someone else's idea.

                  Dude.....Shut Up. I cannot even begin to tell you how wrong this is. You want an intelligent debate? Fine. here's an intelligent debate: 1: It takes 24 hours for the earth to make a full revolution, just because its spinning at 10,000mph doesnt mean jack compared to your inertial reference frame. You are standing on a surface spinning at a constant (or close to a constant) 10,000mph which means you're spinning at the same speed. If the earth were to suddenly stop THEN you would accelerate off into oblivion, if the earth accelerated you would turn into a pancake. Going back to your earlier point however, if you were to jump, since you are spinning at the moving at the same speed as the earth, relative to an external reference frame, when you jump you are actually always jumping diagonally. you're jumping up, but you're still moving with the earths rotation at 10,000mph [u][i][b]sideways[/b][/i][/u]. so you land in the same exact spot. Take this as an example. if you're on a train moving 60mph, and you decide to jump off, you will notice that not only did you move forward off the side of the train, but off to the side a fair amount before gravity made your face hit the dirt. This is the same concept. Also, to go to you're jumping up and waiting comment, its not viable, and here's why: 1: the earth only rotates on its axis, so say you need to go north to south, even with the earths rotation, you're not going to move to the southern hemisphere from the northern hemisphere. period. 2: also, you hovering in the air would mean you could only go to areas that have the same longitude as you, which is one reason why this would be an impractical form of travel 3: you could only fly one way, you wanna go the other way? you would have to wait for the earth to make a full rotation. thats impractical too. you know that one hour flight from arizona to california? try 23 hours instead doing it your way. Jets and other forms of aeronautical travel however, can take you anywhere [b]WITHOUT ANY[/b] of the above restrictions. Science classes do demonstrate proof of this, it's the people who swallow the science says so so its true. the entire scientific community is based on a principle that everyone must try to disprove each other, and the more people fail to shut down an idea, the more that idea becomes a theory, and from a theory, a law. The first fundamental principle of science is to assume nothing is completely true in the fullest sense, even laws are just extremely likely to be true, but could still be false in a certain way. that is how the scientific community progresses. Your average Joe probably didnt even take a physics class to begin with and herp derps his way through life, and that person will say "its true because science says so" but believe me when I say there IS proof, some of which I have indicated above. If you have more questions or require clarification feel free to ask. Also, don't just take my word for it, here is a Ph.D in physics (Neil DeGrasse Tyson), explaining in a rap just how the world is circular, and how the idea that the world is flat is total bogus, and the reason i posted a rap is because it will make it entertaining enough for more people to see it instead of a boring physics lecture. you're welcome. Oh and he offers proof too.

                  • You don't fly off earth cause you are moving with the earth, if you were to jump inside a moving train, you would not fly to the rear of the train. Not even worth a facepalm btw. Go back to school, lol.
