The Earth is Flat

[flenser]

effectively instantaneous propagation of electromagnetic radiation

Err, no. Your smart phone couldn't locate your position without delays due to the speed of light.

 

[flenser]

Believing in a flat earth seems pretty harmless compared to some of the crap pushed by the media these days. Communism, for example..

 

[x11]

Err, no. Your smart phone couldn't locate your position without delays due to the speed of light.

Hence the word "effectively".

Speed of light 3x10^8 m/s, delay for a call....nothing two humans on earth could perceive.

So "flat earthers" believe we're on a Gravitron. Wouldn't the gravity draw you to the outside edge? Everybody would puke sideways....

You said the global communication system was based on it. I was curious if you had read that somewhere. It would have been a fun rabbit hole to wander down after a few beers : )

 

[Gbro]

They don't believe in satellites.

While we're ignoring reality, who says the speed of light isn't more than Mach 10? Hmmmm?

 

[x11]

Speed of light is 881742.52352941Mach.

Mach 10 would make an ICBM much faster than the sleed of light (based on your mach 10).

It would be impossible to perceive, detect or defend against.

You can measure the speed of light yourself quiet easily.

Lol they don't believe in gravity. They believe the disk we live on is simply accelerating up.

They also believe that the sun is a only a few thousand miles away, and only a few hundred miles across.

I also watched another theory about the gravity thing... I will try and find it, it's hilarious and baffling at the same time.

And the 4 seasons are caused by?

The tides?

 

[johntt44]

I stand corrected. The tides going back and forth on a flat disc would make it a Tilt-a-Whirl not a Gravitron.

None of these people ever looked through a telescope? Do they believe that Earth is an anomaly?

 

[x11]

Makes wonder why the "establishment" go to such great lengths to hide the truth.

Must be a lot at stake to keep the truth of the flat earth suppressed.

I think they believe other planets are flat too?

I know I saw that one guy believed Earth was the only disk and that we were put here by aliens.

I came across one video and kind of binged... The conspiracy theory itself isn't quite as astonishing to me as those who believe it.

Somewhere a flat earther is saying the exact same thing about you.

 

[x11]

Excuse my ignorance but how do they explain broad daylight in some places and pitch black night in others?

A flat earth would require the whole planet to be day or night at the same time.

 

[Rigger622]

Somedays I wonder if I am the crazy one and the rest of the world is normal because being crazy seems to be normal if that makes sense.

Clintons too? Even a broken clock is correct twice per day.

"Spotlight Sun"

No, I don't know exactly what it is but I get the gist of it...

Fuckers are always a step ahead.
