My Thoughts on Destiny and Round Earth Scientific Inaccuracies

The summer has been great, getting Alot more Destiny time in. The rocket glitch was annoying: I really wanted to play trials last week. But with banner here I feel like I just can't get enough. Since Destiny always seems to become a central part of my summers, I want to share what it means to me. [u][b]First, I [i]know[/i] through intuitive observation that the world is flat.[/b][/u] It's as obvious a fact as the sun. If the earth was a massive round ball spinning at 1000mph, you would all be flung off. [b]Also, water flows downhill:[/b] [u]if the earth was round the oceans would flow to the south pole.[/u] I have talked about these obvious facts here and elsewhere. But Destiny, through its genius and creativity really gets me thinking about the truth in nature and the phisical universe. Even though it is a fanciful representation, the image of the round earth, alone in space, with the Traveler crowning it like a jewel always sends a chill down my spine. Every time I fly into the tower I think of how small we are out in space: even though the earth is really flat, and the sun is smaller and much closer to the disk; it is still a vast universe we live in. One I know is filled with wonders.

  • You're slipping. This is just bad bait. Your posts in the past have been nice. Amusing. Usually you make it seem like an actual fact that you were trying to educate the masses on, but this? This is messy. This post reeks of effort. I understand that it's your way of trying to take over #destiny and keep the ninjas from moving this post to off-topic but it's your worst attempt. I look forward to your next effort and hope it's at least slightly more thought out than this was.

    • Why don't we get flung off? How do round planets hold themselves together? You have stated in your theory that round planets exist, so how? There are planets with much less mass than ours that are round, so why isn't ours? The normal explanation? The bending of space-time caused by mass attracts other less-massive things towards it, aka gravity. Think of a ball on a string. If I spin around holding the string, the ball doesn't fly away. This is what gravity does. It just pulls you back. Another thing, The sun would never set on your round earth. It's like holding a lightbulb over a table. It lights the entire thing. Ever gone to the Great Plains? There are no giant mountains for the sun to set behind. But it still sets. This disproves your "How the sun sets on a flat earth" More: Ships disappear bottom first on the ocean, which can't happen on a flat surface. You can't see London from New York City with the most powerful land telescope, which should be possible on a flat surface. Ever looked through a telescope at the other planets? You will notice that they have shadows. But from where? If the sun moves in circles around earth, how are these shadows forming? There can't be more Suns, we would've noticed them. So how? My answer? We are a spherical planet that orbits in an ellipse around the sun, along with every other planet. The planets move at different speeds, so from our perspective crescent shadows form when we see the planet slightly more from the front then the back. [spoiler]But I know I can't convince you of anything just as you have (hopefully) learned you can't convince us. [/spoiler] Feel free to ask questions, I will try to answer to the best of my ability. Everyone else, please correct any mistakes u made so that I can refine this argument. [i]*jumps out window*[/i]

    • Earth has gravity because of its magma/metal core, it keeps everything from leaving the earth. And your right, every planet is not a round but also not a disk, it's a sphere. It keeps this form because of the rotation around the sun. A sun that is the center of solar system and it's gravity makes the planets rotate around. And it's around 8 light minutes from earth It take 8 minutes for light to reach the earth so that's pretty far because one light second is 300000000 m/s.

    • Do people seriously still believe the earth is flat? What the hell do we gotta do to prove it wrong? Throw every person who believes it into orbit? Actually I'd be down for that.

      • I'm going to focus on a slightly different section of your post than the obvious choice... [quote]Since Destiny always seems to become a central part of my summers[/quote] It is not quite summer yet this year and destiny has been available to play for one summer since its release (summer 2015). If destiny became a central part of that summer for you, that is the grand total of once. I wouldn't think that "always" is a good choice to describe an event that happened a single time, especially for someone so [i]obviously[/i] scientifically minded as yourself.

        (cracks knuckles) I'll admit it's better than your other stuff. You stepped it up. Fair enough. I always like the part at the beginning. It's sharp, clean, and purposeful. But well-designed or not... Trolling... I mean... Wow, trolling? I'm sorry, but your cart is so far in front of your horse, it's laughable. Call me an old man, but are you not familiar with the official nerd takeover protocols of 1978? We hammered out some SERIOUS documents that long night defining how this was going to work... I don't know why you guys are hanging around here trolling these folks during phase two. I feel like I have to lay out the whole plan that nerds seem to forget now... The entire internet was conceived as an off-topic message board, so we could first and most importantly get away from the rest of the mundane, mind-dulling world. There, we would build a maze from which they could never escape, and then abduct thier very culture into a prison to which only we understood... We have had many keks along the way, yes, and why not? Some would even say top keks. After all, as I just explained the labyrinth was first our sanctuary. But the real top kek was supposed to be the reigns of the world itself finally being ripped from the incompetent, uninspired old claws they have been wrapped around for hundreds of years. We are NERDS man, and that is our job. No one else can do it. They won't mind after we do it. They all have facebook now. We need to get this cart rolling towards phase three again, then you can troll until you are blue in the the face. I wish we had thought of the hazard of you guys possibly getting sidetracked like this back in the beginning, we were on -blam!-ing point back then. Like back when we sold the plans for the internet to Al Gore in the 70's in exchange for distilled spotted owl squeezings, which you may know are eight times as potent as mescaline. We wanted someone to make the.-blam!-er anyway, AND we hallucinated for days. Some of us still are, goddamn owls. Goddamn secret government organic LSD production vector initiative. -blam!-ing amateur hour. But the real problem is this: You are bogging down "phase two" which you would know all about if you had even READ the charter of the internet... -blam!- it, I'll try to summarize. See, we have to get everyone actually USING the internet BEFORE we start making fun of them. EVERYONE. Phase one: create alternate reality with alternate set of values, phase two (PAY ATTENTION, this is the part you're -blam!-ing up. I know it's hard, there might be new posts on reddit, it's been four seconds) phase two is GET EVERYBODY ON THE INTERNET. And not just sometimes. We need em on it like WE'RE on it, do you dig? On it for good. On it A LOT. You guys are blowing this, it's like you lack any real respect for your forebears. I went to the secret underground headquarters last week to get some old vinyls to sell at my yard sale, and the damn trained guard monkeys were all dead. Nobody fed them, because you guys are too busy making fun of teenagers for blindly supporting a video game they like. HOW CUTTING EDGE. You guys think being random and funny on the internet is a thing to do, but it was meant to be a means to an end. You're slowing down phase two by making it unwelcoming, because you just couldn't keep it in your pants until every living man woman and child on earth started using the internet all day every day. THEN we were going to suddenly turn around and start calling them words made of syllables also appearing in words describing the male anatomy. We were going to systematically destroy their self esteem, and then raze all the filthy bullshit they respect and value in the real world to the ground while they furiously typed reply posts to our many spambots who keep them busy all day on facebook or b.net... You're blowing it. You got bored waiting, I know. But you're blowing everything. If you want to help the REAL nerds who built all this shit, well... Grab a shovel and help me bury these -blam!-ing monkeys. Keep the costumes, though. We can use those for the next monkeys. And put your -blam!-ing dick back in your pants or I'll draw a face on it and make it into a youtube celebrity. Someone around here needs to pay the -blam!-ing bills. TLDR: <----- Is what god says when he finally snuffs us out for going nowhere and wasting our lives. -blam!- TLDR, and -blam!- 2016. Old nerd out.

However, the earth is solid, and rotates around the sun (a gravity anomoly) which our rotation around provides earth the gravity it has. The closer or further away the hotter or colder it gets and the more intense the gravity gets. The moon has an exception because it rotates around the earth and its gravity is effected by both the sun and the mass of the earth. (there is an equation to solve this mystery but I digress) Hope I've helped you.

            Either you're: 1) A troll 2) Actually believe this. If you are 2, and truly believe the earth is flat, please look at that picture. Would you call that flat? In case you don't know, flat is "smooth and even; without marked lumps or indentations." So is that canyon in the image flat? No, it is not. It is the grand canyon. Therefore, by definition, the planet can not be flat. Also, continuing with said definition, if the earth was flat, we could not have any bodies of water, unless the entire planet is water and then the land under the water would also need to be flat, otherwise it would break the definition. So please, if you're 2, go outside and talk to some people with an IQ that is 90+.
