Is the Earth flat?

[Ancap]

A Brazilian philosopher who lives in USA (Virginia, more specifically) posted the other day the following on his Facebook (translated to English):

"I didn't study the issue about flat earth. I've just watched a few videos of experiments that show the flatness of the aquatic surfaces, and I couldn't find anything to refute them so far."

A PhD in geology from Universidade de São Paulo (USP), one of the best universities of the last decade (in top 100). He says there's no way the Earth is flat because navigators used to be guided by astrolabe, an instrument developed for a flat earth model.

Also, there's an ultimatum:

I really doubt someone here can refute flat Earth theory.

[Annie999]

No.

[Blondie]

Of course yes :cool:

[Loki]

The earth is obviously not flat. Flat earth theories have dumbed down a whole generation of internet addicts, it is intellectually harmful.

[itilvolga]

No, real earth has curves which is sexy.

[MS85]

Some say our moon is flat, since nobody has seen the other side of the moon. lol.

[Annihilus]

flat as a pancake

You can see it on google earth ;)

[Pigling]

Stupidity of human specie.

That's why I'm 24 years old single virgin.

It's absurd that anyone in 21st century can seriously claim that Earth is flat.

If Earth is flat, then someone located in Berlin could see Los Angeles or Tokyo using telescope, depending on direction he pointed view.

[Kivan]

:rolleyes:

[MS85]

You can see it on google earth ;)But they still deny it because they can't see it with their own eyes/telescope

but here is the video from NASA of the moon from the other side

[Annihilus]

Come to think of it, if we are a holographic representation of two dimensional data, isn't everything flat?

[MS85]

Either we live in a MATRIX and everything is fake and simulation or we should really focus on science, because with science we are closer to the truth. But is it possible that our current science (evolved from logos and ontology/epistemology) can deceive us?

[HelloGuys]

Is this even a serious question??

[Phenix]

Earth-chan has curves, stop bullying her.

no cubic
,seriously stop posting all the twisted theories from deranged mind

[Jägerstaffel]

I prefer my planetary bodies to be thicc.

Yea heaven't these noobs ever been on a skyscraper, plane or mountain? They think because you can't physically see the curve of the earth from the ground that it doesnt exist, you can't see the Rocky Mountains from Los Angeles either, that doesn't mean the don't exist XD. The atmosphere is a giant lenses all the moisture, dirt etc in the air distorts what you see and how you see it, if you go up high enough you can see the earth curve.

Lol

[Richmondbread]

No. This would be a Muslim teaching.

[Annihilus]

dude, the bible is equally a flat-earth book

[Ülev]

yes

[floooos]

Certainly not! if you think it is you are an intellectual degenerate.

[JosephK]

Yeah, it's flat for a little bit then rounds out.

[Richmondbread]

Nowhere in the Bible does it say the earth is flat.

[Annihilus]

Nowhere in the Bible does it say the earth is flat.

Isaiah 40:22

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.

sure sounds like it

Not to me. And circle actually implies a sphere shape.

[Zrinski]

Same.

[Loki]

... or we should really focus on science, because with science we are closer to the truth.


Not necessarily... because science is what we can measure and importantly, observe... however our observation is not necessarily correct, or thorough enough to equate reality. Our observation is limited by our perception and our dimensional reality... which is not all there is.



But is it possible that our current science (evolved from logos and ontology/epistemology) can deceive us?


Yes, quite possible.

[Bellbeaking]

Is it possible that the earth is actually flat, but because our eyes are round the Earth looks round. Our observational reality/science can deceive us.

[Ayetooey]

Probably dude.

[JosephK]

But flight exists. People have been flying aircraft around the world for some time now, and it can be planned--and accomplished--because of the earth's near-total lack of flatness.

Yes but it would still look round from the perspective of the Pilots.

[Daco Celtic]

The earth is round but I swear it changed shapes one time for about 3 hrs back when I was in college and I was trippin'. You weren't there brah, so don't judge.

[Zeus]

No

[Dick]

No

Wrong.

[Vojnik]

There's literally cameras up there right now with a live feed where anyone can go look at right now.

[sean]

If the earth is flat explain why without gravity, we wouldn't be infinity accelerating upwards until we reached the speed of light and beyond, as there would be no resistance (gravity) to stop the acceleration?

Just the tip of the iceberg.

[Übermensch]

Only a mentally retarded individual would belive that the earth is flat.
Hearth is not exactly round of course, it has an helliptical shape, flattened at the poles with a bulge at the equator, because of gravity, like sir Isac newton anlized, Gravity is one of the 4 forces that rule the universe, because of gravity all planets have a round/helliptical shape, the higher is the mass of the planet, the higher is gravity attraction, but every object has an attraction to another, so the other planets and the sun influence earth gravity making it being round/helliptical.
If earth was flat there will be no gravity attraction.
