Never has irony been more prevalent.
It’s hard to believe that these loons are still around in the 21st Century. The shocking fact is that flat Earth beliefs are gaining traction, mainly from conspiracy theorists and pseudo-scientists – the types that think the Apollo Missions were faked and that Elvis is alive and working in Burger King. For instance, In 2017 the US rapper B.o.B started a crowd-funding campaign to raise $1 million to launch a satellite to seek evidence that our planet is flat. The campaign fell flat.
Apparently 7% of the Brazilian population – some 11 million people – believe that the Earth is flat. This has been attributed to a resurgent evangelical Christian church. Religious fundamentalism is spreading these ideas in Islamic countries too. In 2017 a geology student in Tunisia was intending to submit a PhD defending her work on a flat-Earth model. These views have also been fuelled by You Tube and Twitter.
There are a number of flat-Earth theories. Some propose that the Earth’s edges are surrounded by a wall of ice holding in the oceans. Others say our flat planet and its atmosphere are encased in a huge, hemispherical snow globe from which nothing can fall off the edges.
To account for night and day, flat-Earthers think the Sun moves in circles around the North Pole. Another idea suggests that the Sun and Moon are 50 km in diameter and circle the disc-shaped Earth at a height of 5500 km, with the stars above on a rotating dome.
Many flat-Earthers also reject gravity, suggesting that the flat Earth is accelerating through space up at 9.8 m/s2 to give the illusion of gravity. The adherents of these views believe there is a massive conspiracy, involving NASA and the astronomical community, to cover up the existence of a flat Earth.
Some may think Flat Earthers are harmless eccentrics. They’re not. They are dangerous. Before long they will be combining with proponents of intelligent design to push the frontiers of scientific illiteracy even further. Soon they will be saying belief in a round Earth is a colonial and racist imposition, dreamed up by white men.
A bunch of flat headed cunts.
They also believe Australia doesn’t exist and is a fictional place manned with actors pretending to be from there.

Almost as mad as “Russia gate” believed by mongs who watch CNN to this day. Or “climate change” . Another load of bollocks. Flat earth people want to believe the earth is flat and no amount of logic will shift them from their belief. Like extinction oblivion and scientology, its a cult.

Australia regained the Ashes with a bunch of actors? Steve Smith is really Ashley Peacock with a cricket bat? Shane Warne is really Hugh Grant with a penchant for leg spin?

Im on the fence about this.
Ive long thought Australia wasn’t real,
And this spinning ball things just a suggestion by some eggheads isn’t it?
Ive been down South and thats flat, as is Belgium and Holland,
Flat as posh spices tits.
Although dont believe for a second Holland was real either.
Or the moon (bullshit)

If it’s spinning and round then it can only be like a record which is of flat.
The only reason a ship falls below the horizon is because the earth disc is…erm…domed slightly. So that’s explained

How do these mithering cunts explain the fact that if you took off in an aeroplane from the UK and flew due east and then did the same and flew due west, you could end up exactly in the same place in the world?
I suppose all the airlines are in on the conspiracy too?

That’s why Amy Johnson crashed I expect!

Flat Earth bollocks is used to discredit the real conspiracies.
Strange that is picking up traction at a time when more people are falling into one of two camps on other issues. Those who believe everything they are told and those who question everything.
Easier to discredit those uncovering the truth by lumping them in with flat Earth loons.

Well it makes perfect sense to me…. if you get a football and watch an ant go from top to bottom….he leaves the top ( North Pole) and walks to the bottom (South Pole)..guess what ?….he’s fucking upside down…why aren’t people ( who must have velcro on the soles of their boots) not upside down when they get to Australia? (and falling off when they undo their laces)
Answer me that one,Eggheads.
16
Simple.
All objects in the universe are attracted to each other by gravitional forces. The force at which an object with mass, m, is attracted to a planet with mass, M, is calculated as follows, i.e. each object produces a gravitional force where F = (G x M x m)/r2.
F = gravitional force
G = gravitional constant
M = mass of planet (earth)
m – mass of object (ant)
r = planet radius
M = Mass of the earth
The earth will produce a larger gravitional force than a football at its surface and so things will stick to it. Including ants.
Gravity doesn’t just act from our perception of top to bottom – the force is directed towards the centre of mass of the planet. That is why Dame Edna Everage’s handbag doesn’t drop off the bottom of the planet.
6
Even that load of highly dubious Egghead bollocks doesn’t explain why they’re not upside down though,does it ?
#Einstein was a lying Cunt…and Stephen Hawking was a lying,dalekisised Cunt…..I’d burn all their research and conclusions….Bastards.

Hahahaha 😂

PS…I don’t much care for Alan Turing either…or Charles Darwin.
Nutters should have been injected with something to keep them unmental.
4
Ha ha, you kill me, DP.
You only perceive being “upside down” because of the direction of the gravitional force and its effect on your bodily parts. The football doesn’t exert enough gravitational force on the ant to cancel out that which the earth exerts on the ant (and the ball for that matter).
Remember, the earth’s gravitational force is directed towards its centre of gravity.

I bet Einstein,Hawking,Turing and Darwin never played rugby at school ….probably hid out in the sick-bay reading fucking books or taping their spectacles back together with elastoplasts

I wouldn’t say that to Edwin Hubble, Dick. As well as being one of the most important astronomers (he established that many objects previously considered to be nebulae were in fact galaxies, amongst other discoveries) he was also a champion boxer.
Hawking also had death rays built into his wheelchair and Einstein was a judo black belt 😅
True about Hubble though.
5
@MMCM……” most important astronomers”…. Not that important…wouldn’t have really mattered a fuck if he hadn’t bothered ,would it ?….the world would have continued to turn.
I liked that fat fruity-gentleman RusselLGrant….he was an important astronomer who had his own newspaper column…Edwin Hubble never managed that,did he?
6
True enough Dick. Although I don’t think any of Russel Grant’s predictions have come true 😅
2
.MMCM….no one knows for sure if Hubble’s conclusions are correct either..all just guessed by looking through a spy-glass….these “galaxies” are millions of miles away..until someone goes there we’ll never know for sure. I once peeped my neighbours through a pair of binoculars and thought that to myself ” that woman has a lovely jiggly set of wapps on her”….I then realised that I was actually looking at her grossly overweight husband’s moobs…I now put very little store by telescopes or binoculars so Hubble can stick his telescope up his Milky Way.

About 4 or 5 years ago, I came across a video on YouTube with a peaceful explaining why the Earth if flat. Unfortunately, I can’t find it anymore but I remember finding it searching for “Islamic stupidity” or something similar.
He basically tried to argue that if the Earth rotates then we would not need to fly anywhere. For example, if we wanted to fly from some shithole city in the Middle East to Shanghai, the pilot would fly the plane into the air and wait for the Earth to rotate until Shanghai was underneath the plane and simply land it.
His argument concluded by saying that we need to fly from point A to point B because the Earth does not rotate as it is flat! Thus he ‘reasoned’ that the Earth is flat!
Idiotic spastic!
11
“why the Earth is flat” not “Earth if flat”
3
Sorry old chap. I could not resist a spot of 1st year undergraduate degree mathematics to point out to Hard Britexit that his “idiot spastic” was not 100% wrong. If you can follow the maths it’s actually quite interesting….
Lovely afternoon hereabouts 🌞🌡️

No MMCM, it really isn’t quite that simple. Short of asking DA to repost the deleted “essay” which I wrote earlier (which I’m not about to) there isn’t a lot more to add to my comment of 4:12pm.
Although you are roughly correct: jumping up from the earth’s surface is similar to jumping up and down on a train/aeroplane moving at high speed (but not accelerating/decelerating). You land in (approximately) the same spot for the same reasons. Not quite the same spot, however.
As my 4:12pm post points out, there is indeed a small discrepancy in where you land due to centrifugal and Coriolis forces. All of which is in full accordance with classical (so-called Newtonian) mechanics. For a jump of 1 metre, you land a few millimetres away because of centrifugal effects and a 60-odd micrometers away due to Coriolis forces. Strange, perhaps, but correct.
This is easier to grasp intuitively via a thought experiment, by the way. If you jumped extremely high (say 10 kilometers – but staying within the earth’s atmosphere²) you would very much NOT land on the same spot. The mathematics is the same in each case, as are the forces are gravitation, “notional” centrifugal forces, and very real (but small) Coriolis forces. At 10km you land a few metres away due to centrifugal forces and a few millimetres away due to Coriolis. Not much, not significant for Hard Britexit Cunt’s “idiot spastic”… but real enough.
[in reply to your revisiting of Isaac Newton:
He was not personally a fraud, of course. Rather my point is he has been hugely, if understandably, over-hyped by the British as having single-handedly thought up gravity, inertia and calculus. Galileo got there first with notions of gravitational attraction (the leaning tower of Pisa experiments), Leibnitz’ earlier¹ and simpler calculus notation was much clearer, and Mach (although later) demonstrated that Newton’s musings on inertia (spinning buckets etc) were flat-out wrong (no pun intended).
¹ although there is no direct evidence Newton actually plagiarised Leibnitz’ earlier formulation of the differential calculus (although he may have), his dot notation is a confusing load of bobbins. Leibnitz had not only “got there first” (a historical fact) but also had a better and clearer understanding of what he had devised (a personal opinion, and I’ve seen some of the original manuscripts when I was at Cambridge as I was interested in this 35 years ago).
² if you leave the earth’s atmosphere, that is kind-of cheating for this thought-experiment, but not hugely important. It certainly adds no complexity to the calculations using those two vector differential equations however. It isn’t the wind that keeps you moving relative to the earth’s surface but simple inertia.

Nobody is going to read a 975 word post – DA

Sorry, quite a lot of the mathematical notation (square roots symbols, vector arrows and loads of other stuff) got mangled up into gibberish. It looked OK when I posted it…
Any mathematicians out there will get the gist – or could have worked it out themselves.
3
Fair enough, DA – and for once I admit it took me 20 mins to write it. Delete away by all means!!
Nothing personal CS. You can post here as much as anyone as far as I’m concerned. Just… don’t do essays okay? – DA
4
The answer of course is because the atmosphere is revolving with the Earth and takes everything along with it. If you hover above the atmosphere in a stationary position then the Earth will revolve below you.
3
No, MMCM, it isn’t that simple. My thankfully expunged “975 word essay” made that clear-ish, despite the gibberish rendering of the mathematical notation.
Basically, you simply need to solve the classical (so-called “Newtonian”) equations of motion in polar co-ordinates r, θ to find how far you move when you jump up from the earth’s surface.
That is, you need to solve these second order simultaneous differential equations:
{ r¨=rθ˙²−g. }
{ θ¨=−2r˙θ˙/r. }
(where the single and double dots over the variables “r” and “θ” represents the first and second order vector time-derivatives respectively. How very Isaac Newton of me!)
The final ¶ of my thankfully redacted “essay” (where I solved those equations above) read
It is that simple Les. Mathematics will tell you anything if you use incorrect or false intergers.
Seeing as you quote Newton (I thought you said he was a fraud and a relic of British colonialism 😏), Newton’s first law of motion says that “…An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.” In order for that motion to go away, a force is needed.
If there were such a force, it upon you if you jumped in the air even for a second. If by jumping into the air for a second, you could erase the 1000 mph (speed of the Earth’s rotation) that you have by standing still upon the moving ground, you would land about 1500 feet away from where you first jumped. That doesn’t happen.
And if there were such a force from the ground that prevented you moving forward when your body wanted to be motionless, wouldn’t that exert a hell of a stress on the bottom of your feet (not to mention your ass)?
The round Earth rotates. The atmosphere around the Earth rotates with the Earth. Everything on the ground, in the water, or in the air also rotates – with the Earth – at the same speed as the Earth.

I don’t believe the Earth is flat, but as far as gravity is concerned, according to Einstein it doesn’t exist. His general theory of relativity states that gravity is not a force between masses, it is an effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass. Although I have to say this knowledge provided me with no comfort the last time I fell on my arse.

Man made global warming, the EU is a force for good, Covid 19 has killed 130, 000 people in the UK, Joe Biden won fair and square, unconscious racism, there are more than two genders…why is the Earth being flat so difficult to believe?

It’s a coincidence this nom. I was watching a documentary of the Apollo moon programme this morning. The famous picture of Earth Sunrise taken by Apollo 8.

What’s on the underside of a flat Earth? Tits?
If I dig deep enough what happens?
Are seasons caused by the flat Earth tilting or the Sun’s path changing?
All the other celestial bodies I see in the sky are spheres so why is only Earth flat?
So many questions!

I thought the internet would make humans smarter, instant access to anything you wanted to know. However it seems to have had the opposite effect, as it’s like cheating at maths with a calculator. You put in the question and out pops the answer, you don’t even have to understand the question or the answer, just copy and paste, and hey presto, your an immunologist, or an architect, or a barrister. The answer might even be the right one, but they didn’t learn it, as that would suggest a process that someone went through to arrive at the conclusion after absorbing the information and the context. You see so much shite being parroted these days you know those cunts haven’t a clue what the fuck they are on about. Ask them how or why they arrived at that conclusion and it usually falls apart, or you get a classic ‘if you go on YouTube….’ answer which means fuck all.
All conspiracy theories involve lies. Those in charge are lying to them, yes, them in particular. It’s the government. No it’s not, the government are just puppets, it goes much further. It was Bill Gates the other day, now bungalow Bill is just a patsy, and he is being controlled. And on and on….
News flash, no one gives a fuck what you think. Honestly. No one gives a fuck what I think, and I’m ok with that, I mean who the fuck am I? I’m no threat, I’m no saviour, just a bloke.
Back to the lies. When you ask a silvertop why would ‘they’ lie about the shape of the earth, they will usually say something about it being a form of control. But what does the shape of the earth, or specifically, lying about the shape of it have to do with control? Fuck all.
