The world looks flat, feels flat, measures flat. But IS round. It HAS to be. Because NASA and their photoshopped images say so. Yes makes sense.

Seriously that is just retarded. Go and get a tray. fill it with water. There is your surface. Now go and get an orange or some sort of sphere object, spin it, pour water on it. What happens? You guessed it, the water bounces off in the opposite direction.

Still though, for you lot that doesn't prove anything. That is simple logic and if that doesn't make you realize. Nothing will.


Are you **** serious? The water spins off in the opposite direction because the gravitational pull of an orange is NOWHERE near the force applied to the water from the rotation of the orange... you cannot compare that to something that is literally MILLIONS times the size


If you actually read my post, which you obviously didn't because your ignorant like the rest. I stated that the earth 'is' an 'oblate spheroid'. Also used it to expose NASAs lies.

Stop trying to tell me I'm wrong because you saw the words 'flat earth'. Especially when you haven't even read the whole post and took my side into account. FFS.


Oblate spheroid refers to any shape that bulges at the centre instead of being a perfect sphere. In the case of the Earth, it is a SLIGHT bulge, but it is there.... The radius of the Earth at the equator is around 7,926 miles whereas it is 7900 at the poles... which means it IS bulged at the equator. I did read the post, Just I as a physics major cannot comprehend people thinking the earth is flat when it is a PHYSICAL impossibility


Ok so, lets assume there is a bulge, firstly. Why can you not see it from NASAs photos, or the worldwide mapping on Google Earth, or for that matter. Any type of 3D mapping (Yahoo etc).

Secondly, Neil DeGrasse Tyson stated it was pear shaped. Which is pretty different from an oblate spheroid. He then tried covering up his mistake by saying it was only slightly oblate below the equator. Which is a complete contradiction. Funny thing is he in Club 33 like the rest of 'em.

Lastly, if the flat earth is 'PHYSICAL' impossible (pretty sure you meant to say physically). Then please provide me with the proof stating so. Because I'm 100% sure you cant, and I'm also 100% sure there is evidence its physically impossible for it to be a globe. Period.


1) Because the Earth is MASSIVE and the bulge is SLIGHT. ZERO of the images provided are a perfect sphere of the Earth

2) People make mistakes, can't use that as a valid argument

3) So if you believe that the Earth IS flat, then every star and planet in the universe is flat? Every atom in the universe is flat? Gravity acts in all directions which means it is physically impossible for a 'flat' disc the size of Earth to exist since the Centre of Mass would pull the sides in, oh wait, like a sphere.... anyone with a basic understanding of physics can understand that.

I would LOVE to see this 'proof' you have it is impossible for the Earth to be a sphere


1) Actually, no matter the slight in bulge, you would be able to see it, unless of course it was like 2km. Then it would be pretty hard to tell. Also ZERO of the images are real, all CGI and edited with photoshop.

Notice the literally, duplicated clouds, due to bad editing and most probably laziness. Or maybe it was just easier for them

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]




2) Yes you are correct, if that was the case though. Surely he would of corrected his mistake, instead of going on to say it's oblate to cover up the fact he said its pair shaped.




3) I never said I believed it, I said its highly likely. So far I'm more convinced its flat then round. Due to the evidence. If you provide me with 1 piece of irrefutable, solid evidence showing the earth is round. I will absolutely believe the heliocentric globe. But it wont happen, because there isn't any.

And because supposedly earth is flat doesn't mean everything else is. Even though NASAs 'images' of galaxy's appear as a disc.. Anyway, the bible says that space itself doesn't exist, and everything exists inside the firmaments. I still have a lot to learn on that side of the subject. So its a massive conundrum.




To be honest. Using quantum physics, scientists found that theoretically speaking, you should be able to put your fingers though a solid object because it is composed of compressed atoms. But you cannot, this has had scientists startled, and to this day no one can figure it out why this phenomenon occurs.

The same as particles behaviour changes while being observed (double slit experiment) and it most definitely knows that it is.

Scientists, physicists etc. All have the most very slight understanding on atoms and particles. They still have A LOT to learn. So you cannot use that as a valid argument.




By the way, I never said I personally had evidence, proving it is impossible for the earth to be a sphere, I said I'm 100% sure there is. Which to be honest, is a cocky lie. Im more 99.9% sure there is. I'm still looking for the stone hard, nail in the coffin evidence. Though.

But still.. More ignorance, what a surprise.


If you're going to start listing the bible as your proof/belief then I am done

Also, no scientists did NOT find that out with quantum physics. Do not even try to pull quantum physics into this when we are on about the universe which is macro scale, not quantum scale

You seem like you're pretty young and have not even a basic understanding of physics, astronomy, let alone astronautics. Did you know, that there is literally an entire field that most universities offer degrees in that specializes in travel beyond Earth's atmosphere? I'm also guessing you've never seen a satellite, or the ISS, but you can -- indeed -- see it pass over your house.

Have you ever looked through a telescope? I have. Is the spherical Jupiter I observed a few weeks ago merely a photo planted inside the telescope to fool me? And what's up with the sun? Why do we get heat from the Sun 365 days a year if it is flat?

But, I'm curious. Lets say the Earth is flat. What is the motivation to cover this up?

I mean, seriously, the things you are quoting to 'explain' the flat earth theory are either irrelevant, misunderstood, or one part of a much more complicated aspect of the Earth. Get off your high horse, get off the Internet, and open a textbook. See how little you really know.

And I know that you're wrong, like every other educated person who has looked at your post and laughed (probably not replied), because I have at least a basic understanding of how space works. And by basic, I mean that I learned from a professional and not the Internet. You might think the Internet (aside from actual online schooling) is good for educating yourself. But you're wrong.

Basically 'touch' is an illusion. Some particles act like batteries and magnets. Specifically; electrons and protons. Electrons attract to protons, but are repelled by other electrons. Just like a magnet or battery. Considering electrons (-) and protons (+).

When we 'touch things'. It is our brains way of understanding the interactions we make when our electrons meet the electromagnetic field. Ultimately, we are never actually touching anything.




If you want a more in depth explanation, I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere.




And I never said the universe was quantum scale, in fact i never linked the universe and the quantum scale at all, that was all you.

So stop being ignorant, and throwing off the subject with assumptions and pure bollocks.

I am FAR from ignorant on the subject since I am studying Physics at university. Yes, touch is an illusion and what we feel is the repulsive forces of particles interacting but never touching.... this does not mean we would be able to 'slide our fingers through a solid object' because there is no possible way for a particle to fit in-between the space of other protons/electrons in a nucleus because of the sizes.

Please do not assume I am ignorant on the matter

Lets just face the fact that if the earth was flat we would know it by now, but we live in a 3rd dimension so everything has width and height. We are not 2d.

3) So if you believe that the Earth IS flat, then every star and planet in the universe is flat? Every atom in the universe is flat? Gravity acts in all directions which means it is physically impossible for a 'flat' disc the size of Earth to exist since the Centre of Mass would pull the sides in, oh wait, like a sphere.... anyone with a basic understanding of physics can understand that.

I would LOVE to see this 'proof' you have it is impossible for the Earth to be a sphere


1) Actually, no matter the slight in bulge, you would be able to see it, unless of course it was like 2km. Then it would be pretty hard to tell. Also ZERO of the images are real, all CGI and edited with photoshop.

2) Yes you are correct, if that was the case though. Surely he would of corrected his mistake, instead of going on to say it's oblate to cover up the fact he said its pair shaped.




3) I never said I believed it, I said its highly likely. So far I'm more convinced its flat then round. Due to the evidence. If you provide me with 1 piece of irrefutable, solid evidence showing the earth is round. I will absolutely believe the heliocentric globe. But it wont happen, because there isn't any.

And because supposedly earth is flat doesn't mean everything else is. Even though NASAs 'images' of galaxy's appear as a disc.. Anyway, the bible says that space itself doesn't exist, and everything exists inside the firmaments. I still have a lot to learn on that side of the subject. So its a massive conundrum.




To be honest. Using quantum physics, scientists found that theoretically speaking, you should be able to put your fingers though a solid object because it is composed of compressed atoms. But you cannot, this has had scientists startled, and to this day no one can figure it out why this phenomenon occurs.

The same as particles behaviour changes while being observed (double slit experiment) and it most definitely knows that it is.

Scientists, physicists etc. All have the most very slight understanding on atoms and particles. They still have A LOT to learn. So you cannot use that as a valid argument.




By the way, I never said I personally had evidence, proving it is impossible for the earth to be a sphere, I said I'm 100% sure there is. Which to be honest, is a cocky lie. Im more 99.9% sure there is. I'm still looking for the stone hard, nail in the coffin evidence. Though.

But still.. More ignorance, what a surprise.


You seem like you're pretty young and have not even a basic understanding of physics, astronomy, let alone astronautics. Did you know, that there is literally an entire field that most universities offer degrees in that specializes in travel beyond Earth's atmosphere? I'm also guessing you've never seen a satellite, or the ISS, but you can -- indeed -- see it pass over your house.

Have you ever looked through a telescope? I have. Is the spherical Jupiter I observed a few weeks ago merely a photo planted inside the telescope to fool me? And what's up with the sun? Why do we get heat from the Sun 365 days a year if it is flat?

But, I'm curious. Lets say the Earth is flat. What is the motivation to cover this up?

I mean, seriously, the things you are quoting to 'explain' the flat earth theory are either irrelevant, misunderstood, or one part of a much more complicated aspect of the Earth. Get off your high horse, get off the Internet, and open a textbook. See how little you really know.

And I know that you're wrong, like every other educated person who has looked at your post and laughed (probably not replied), because I have at least a basic understanding of how space works. And by basic, I mean that I learned from a professional and not the Internet. You might think the Internet (aside from actual online schooling) is good for educating yourself. But you're wrong.


So you saw a SPHERICAL Jupiter? Through your telescope, from the perspective on earth. Im pretty sure you couldnt distinquish between a disc and a sphere from that perspective. Especially when it's apperently hard to tell a sphere from NASAs 'photos'. (According to one of your fellow, spherical earthers).

Overall, I doubt you saw it. Because NASA apparently have to use their high tech telescopes and go through a rendering period just to get a glimpse of what they look like. What you saw was probably a glimpse of nothing.




And everything I provide as evidence is no where near irrelevant at all. In fact the evidence I am presenting is pretty damn compelling.




Also I am aware of this degree yes. I'm also aware that none of them doing that degree has ever got into a rocket and gone beyond the atmosphere.

If they even possibly have (which they haven't), they certainly haven't gone beyond the apparent van allen belt (the firmament). No one has. So quite literally, the degree itself is pointless.




Ive never seen a satellite actually, just a moving white dot. And the ISS cannot be seen from your house, that is rubbish. It would appear as a small dot and that is not compelling evidence, so you get off your high horse.




The motivation, however. Is simple, back in the early 60's onwards. It was about proving who had the most authenticity when it came to technology. Keeping up with one another and trying to essentially show off who has 'the next big thing'.

Then it became a competition. And now it is literally about the amount of funding that they are receiving. Just like everything else in this, corrupt greedy world.




As for how it heats the earth 365 days a year, is simple.

This is how the sun and moon navigate.

This is how the seasons work, the orange line representing summer in the south, winter in the north.
The red line representing the equator.
The yellow line representing Summer in the north, winter in the south.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

So you see, it actually works perfectly. If not better than the heliocentric globe model.




And many textbooks have been controlled, withdrawn and revised so they can favour their own agenda, while also hiding their crimes, and dirty secrets. Its being used as a weapon of propaganda so they can mislead the public.

Hence why Nikola Tesla was hardly ever mentioned., but Thomas Edison was. Simply because Edison was in it for the profit, while Tesla was in it for the people. But now Tesla's tech has been regurgitated because they are starting to figure out ways to use his methods for profit also.

So no, ill pass on that one.




Lastly, for all the so called 'educated' people laughing at my post. Supposedly, just remember, there are people studying and believing the flat earth, having multiple degrees. Smarter than us both. It is literally becoming a worldwide debate between very intelligent people.

So if you're implying I'm uneducated because I'm also studying it, convinced by it and intrigued by it.

Then you are wrong.

Still though, for you lot that doesn't prove anything. That is simple logic and if that doesn't make you realize. Nothing will.


Are you **** serious? The water spins off in the opposite direction because the gravitational pull of an orange is NOWHERE near the force applied to the water from the rotation of the orange... you cannot compare that to something that is literally MILLIONS times the size


If you actually read my post, which you obviously didn't because your ignorant like the rest. I stated that the earth 'is' an 'oblate spheroid'. Also used it to expose NASAs lies.

Stop trying to tell me I'm wrong because you saw the words 'flat earth'. Especially when you haven't even read the whole post and took my side into account. FFS.


Oblate spheroid refers to any shape that bulges at the centre instead of being a perfect sphere. In the case of the Earth, it is a SLIGHT bulge, but it is there.... The radius of the Earth at the equator is around 7,926 miles whereas it is 7900 at the poles... which means it IS bulged at the equator. I did read the post, Just I as a physics major cannot comprehend people thinking the earth is flat when it is a PHYSICAL impossibility


Ok so, lets assume there is a bulge, firstly. Why can you not see it from NASAs photos, or the worldwide mapping on Google Earth, or for that matter. Any type of 3D mapping (Yahoo etc).

Secondly, Neil DeGrasse Tyson stated it was pear shaped. Which is pretty different from an oblate spheroid. He then tried covering up his mistake by saying it was only slightly oblate below the equator. Which is a complete contradiction. Funny thing is he in Club 33 like the rest of 'em.

Lastly, if the flat earth is 'PHYSICAL' impossible (pretty sure you meant to say physically). Then please provide me with the proof stating so. Because I'm 100% sure you cant, and I'm also 100% sure there is evidence its physically impossible for it to be a globe. Period.

If you're going to start listing the bible as your proof/belief then I am done

Also, no scientists did NOT find that out with quantum physics. Do not even try to pull quantum physics into this when we are on about the universe which is macro scale, not quantum scale


They actually did? So I don't know who told you that.. Im guessing, another silly accusation? Quantum physics fits in with what I was saying perfectly. So don't try and throw it out of the window.




Basically 'touch' is an illusion. Some particles act like batteries and magnets. Specifically; electrons and protons. Electrons attract to protons, but are repelled by other electrons. Just like a magnet or battery. Considering electrons (-) and protons (+).

When we 'touch things'. It is our brains way of understanding the interactions we make when our electrons meet the electromagnetic field. Ultimately, we are never actually touching anything.




If you want a more in depth explanation, I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere.




And I never said the universe was quantum scale, in fact i never linked the universe and the quantum scale at all, that was all you.

So stop being ignorant, and throwing off the subject with assumptions and pure bollocks.


I am FAR from ignorant on the subject since I am studying Physics at university. Yes, touch is an illusion and what we feel is the repulsive forces of particles interacting but never touching.... this does not mean we would be able to 'slide our fingers through a solid object' because there is no possible way for a particle to fit in-between the space of other protons/electrons in a nucleus because of the sizes.

Please do not assume I am ignorant on the matter


Actually, atoms are made up of mostly empty space, meaning in a theoretical stand point. We should technically be able to go straight through them when even if they are compressed. But because of the build up of electromagnetic repulsion. We cannot.

It also is currently unexplainable why certain particles can actually pass through walls. So maybe you should lecture your lecturer with that ;)




And fair enough you are studying physics at university. But quantum physics is essentially a different fields of physics. So that is kind of irrelevant.




And I apologise for that. You seem intelligent, after all this is a debate not an argument. My bad. I am quite tired if I'm honest, so I should probably get some sleep. Nice talking.

You can observe Jupiter, and every other planet, rotate.

The ISS can be seen in detail through a telescope, and it passes in the same direction in the sky each pass. How could this be if the Earth was flat?

The detail you can see through a recreational telescope is fine enough to observe the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (which can also be observed moving around the planets atmosphere). That is, if you know how to use a telescope.

We accepted the Earth wasn't flat way before the 60's, dude.

SpaceX is a private company that has videos on the Internet of their successes and failures of launching rockets into space.

And I'm not replying to that gif of the sun and moon. Too stupid.

So the sun would be in the sky all the time. It wouldn't "set". It would simply almost always have light everywhere because the sun is so far away it wouldn't illuminate just that small of an area.
