Do you believe the Earth is flat?

[IronCharles]

The Earth is neither flat, nor round. It is an oblate spheroid, wider at the equator than the poles.

[BlackJack619]

The Earth is a plane not a planet.

I got an oblate spheroid from squatting too deep. Worst pain of my life.

I'll bite. Wtf do you mean? At the very least I want a bro science explanation and not just your usual "GOD did it."

There are nine Realms. Earth, also known as Midgard, is one of the realms... each existing on its own plane.

In one sense Midgard appears round because if you go far enough in one direction you will eventually end up where you started... but that’s a magical effect of not being able to leave the plane... or not being able to see the exits, like a maze you wander around in and end up where you started without even realizing you were walking in a circle.

In another sense, if you had the ability to perceive the planes correctly, they are each flat discs existing in their own dimension. You can’t perceive the dimensions.

It’s like if you could only perceive two dimensions, a sphere would look like a circle. We can’t really perceive the dimension of time so we only see the now... when we know time extends into the past and into the future from now... but we can’t see it just like a two dimensional being couldn’t perceive the rest of the sphere even if they know, intellectually, that it’s there.

We can’t comprehend the nine dimensions of existence so things look like planets and galaxies separated by enormous volumes of space, when in reality the realms are relatively close together but you have to see them correctly to be able to travel between them. It’s like trying to climb up the outside of your house to get to the second floor because you can’t see the stairs...

...or a nine story building that you look up and think it’s so far to the top, because you don’t realize there’s an elevator.

Not sure if trolling with norse/god of war reference or just been missing too long.

How would one perceive the plane correctly? By sending a space craft far away and taking a picture of it? Because we did that and the evidence was fairly conclusive.




Edit: we see things in 3 dimensions and can differentiate a disc from a sphere. Next.

Nope. That’s like living inside a bucket and using a camera to take a picture of the inside of the bucket and using that as proof that the bucket is all that exists. The camera sees the same thing you see.

Right, we can see 3 dimensions... but can’t see the 4th which is time... just like a 2 dimensional being might see width and depth but not be able to perceive height. We can’t see past, present and future... time... simultaneously.

There are 9 other dimensions, for 13 total, we can’t see or perceive beyond the basics of width, breadth, height and time.

We can’t see time but we know it’s there because we experience it... there are nine other dimensions, each with its own realm, even further beyond our ability to perceive than time is.

How have you gotten this information on the specific number of dimensions? I seem to have missed that lesson in my education.

Source?

Peer reviewed paper?

I'm a natural oblate spheroid myself so I can relate...

[Jtbny]

No, that's dumb.

[tanksoldier]

How have you gotten this information on the specific number of dimensions?

Over the centuries various holy men and mystics have gained small glimpses of reality. If you put all of those glimpses together you gain a small view of what reality is really like, rather than the false image our limited perception can give us.

I seem to have missed that lesson in my education.

So because you haven’t learned it in school it doesn’t exist?

There is a certain rock on Mars. You haven’t learned anything about that rock in school, but I guarantee it’s there anyway.

Peer reviewed paper?

Have you seen a peer reviewed paper written by Archimedes?

Issac Newton’s theories were peer reviewed.... and wrong.

All peer review does is make sure the only accepted theories are those that everyone accepts.

ETA: here’s an article about 120 published papers that were gibberish... but published anyway.

Various holy men... good so now I know that you're a fukking idiot.

Just operate under the assumption that everyone is trying to brainwash you.

Or not

But I would.

I know posters in this thread are just messing around, but some people seriously believe this. I don't get it at all. You just need to look at a large lake, or the ocean, and you can easily see that the surface is curved. So even if you believe that all the pictures from space are part of conspiracy, you can see with your own eyes that it's definitely not flat.

Some of these conspiracy theories must be a subject for interesting psychological studies...

Flat earthers are probably no more idiots than everyone else. They just happen to be idiots about the topic of what shape the earth is.

Or, they may just be idiots in general.

[tanksoldier]

You can lead a whore to water but you can’t make her think.

Be intentionally ignorant about the nature of reality... it won’t change anything. The multiverse is what it is despite your narrowmindedness.

You just need to look at a large lake, or the ocean, and you can easily see that the surface is curved. .

It’s your perception that’s skewed, not the universe.

[mtpockets]

Not only is it not flat it curves at a rate of almost 8 inches per mile

[Corbi]

Which NBA player is a flat earther? Stated something along the lines of it must be flat because how can you stand on something round?

[Mark1T]

If the Earth was flat (lmao), then there would be no Horizon.

I had to look it up again. The one you're probably thinking of is Kyrie Irving.

The Earth is not retard autuismos

[GuyJin]

The trolling here is brilliant, but sadly, there are those who truly believe the Earth is flat. Of course, they ignore something important...like science. But, hey, mystics know SO much more, don't they.

Besides, if the Earth was flat, cats would push sh!t off the edge--because they can.

Amazing in the big Misc that anyone can post the most ridiculous subject with some made up reasons why they believe it and after a page or two, there are a number of bone-heads that will support it to the death.

Some of the threads I remember are:

1) The Earth is Flat
2) Hitler was a Great Leader
3) Would you date a Tranny?
