The World is Flat
 
Let's examine this critically.

Have you ever actually SEEN the earth from space?

I thought not. Do you actually know that the earth is round? Yeah, we can travel around in planes, but do you ever actually pay attention to where it's flying? Again, I thought not.

What do you think?

No matter where you are in the world, there will always be horizons. Also, other celestial knowledge practically disproves the flat world hypothesis. Whether the assertion that the world is round is a necessary foundation for the rest... No comment.

EARTH HAS 4 CORNER

SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY

TIME CUBE

IN ONLY 24 HOUR ROTATION.

4 CORNER DAYS, CUBES 4 QUAD EARTH- No 1 Day God.

******************

FREE SPEECH in AMERICA is

"BULL SHIT",

EVIL EDUCATORS

block and suppress

www.timecube.com.

You are educated evil,

and might have to kill

the evil ONE teaching

educators before you

can learn that 4 corner

days actually exist -but

all Cube Truth denied.

Dumb ass educators fear

me and hide from debate.

They are paid to teach a propaganda book - not

Cube Truth - for which

they would be fired. Evil

teachers betray students,

as ONE is a Death Value.

Cube 4x4 voids 1 & God.

USA ripe for holocaust.

Man evolves from teenager -

in cube metamorphosis

but ignores teenager to worship a male mother,

guised in woman's garb,

churchman called father.

Adult god is adult crime

upon their own children.

More holocaust deserved.

The 12 hour or 1/2 Day clock is an intended EVIL against humanity -

indicting every human on Earth as Dumb, Educated Stupid and Evil -

for imaginary Cubed Earth has 4

Days within simultaneous rotation.

One God would equal a God Dunce

as Humans evolve from Children.

****************************

Americans are dumb, educated ONE

stupid and they worship ONEism Evil.

It is not immoral to kill believers, for the stupid bastards EVOLVE from son

or daughter who precedes them. NOT one damn human adult has ever been

created - for ONLY babies are CREATED - and every adult has within them the LIFE given by children who DIE to give-up their lives to their parent

image - so their mom or Dad can live. Adults are EVIL to deny they evolved from children - and claim their adult EGO image is a god likeness. Such damn evil AMERICANS should have their tongue cut out for the heinous hoax they are perpetrating upon their own children. I know now why the Jews

deserved their holocaust - worshipping their own adult EGO image as a damn god whil ignoring and betraying the very children who sacrifice their LIFE

so their Moms and Dads could Live. There is nothing godly about stupid

and evil adults who betray their own children who gave them Life. I AM

WISER THAN ANY DAMN MAN OR GOD WHO EVER EXISTED. IF THE

HALF AND HALF CO-CREATED

JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH, I WILL PERSONALLY KILL THE BASTARD MYSELF. ALL CREATION OCCURS

BETWEEN AND AS OPPOSITES. YOU DUMB-ASS, EARTH, THE UNIVERSE

AND EVERY LIVING THING IN IT

yeah ok if i were tiny and stood on a plate, I'd see horizons too just about everywhere.

Do you actually KNOW how big our plate is?

Mulie 01-7-2011 09:42 AM

Re: The World is Flat
 
The land might fade with distance on a flat world. In actuality as you travel in one direction, tall landmarks seem to rise out of and dip back into the horizon.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 10:03 AM

Re: The World is Flat
 
they also become pretty hard to see -- probably the result of bad eyesight

have you ever played computer games on flat worlds? things just kinda fade out

The shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is round.

Or uh, oblate spheroidal.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 01:10 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
how do you know the shadow is coming from earth eh

could just be a flat circular shadow because the shadow is a circle, regardless of whether or not earth is flat or round

Lets build a super long metal pole and lay it flat on the ground and see if it goes off into space.

Yep.

Re: The World is Flat
 
What he's getting at, is that it really doesn't affect your life one way or another whether the Earth is round or flat, you'd still see it in the exact (or near exact) same way you do right now, as long as you're not an astronaut, or skydive, or ride airplanes, or ride in a hot air balloon, or climb tall mountains, or stand on skyscrapers.

Argument got pwned with the lunar eclipse comment, though.

yeah if the earth were round we'd expect that when we lay down HARD METAL TRACKS right into each other they'd go right off the earth right i mean try doing that on a basketball and it'll go right off we're obviously flat

I was hoping this topic was about the book "The World Is Flat", which is an interesting perspective on globalization.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 02:55 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
how can you have globalization on a flat land

bmah 01-7-2011 03:00 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
haha

it's a metaphor man

A metaphor that refers to "levelling the playing field" in regards to free trade and globalization - through the advent of technological breakthroughs in the way we communicate.

none of you guys have addressed his question really

i mean who knows if the world is flat not like ive seen its roundness except in pics/videos

big magnet underneath our flat world if you want to think of it that way but really

there is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy -- it is like a giant suction hole and we're far enough away from it to feel gravity but not so close we get sucked in

well that's because airline pilots don't get close

part of the confidentiality agreement says that they have to take certified routes pre-programmed to get to their destinations even if nav systems show passengers otherwise. if you kept going you might fall off but nobody ever gets that far because it's just water and so our planes never really get near it because you never need to land a plane near a bunch of water do you

knuckles2224 01-7-2011 04:30 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
The world definitely isn't evenly flat.
And remember most of this planet is covered by water, we don't know what the surface is like underwater.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 04:41 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
right, most of the land is in the middle and the water goes on and on for miles outside of all that

Also explain sailors who circumnavigate.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 05:02 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
if you get too close to the end of the earth, the supermassive blackhole gravity screws with you. when you think you're going forward towards the edge you're really just turning alongside it at a greater velocity due to the effects of relativity.

I say that just because we haven't determined it with our own perception, it doesn't mean the thruth is something else.

Sorry if I'm not clear.

Reincarnate 01-7-2011 05:09 PM

yeah but you can't show that it's NOT true

Artic_counter 01-7-2011 05:10 PM

Re: The World is Flat
 
You can say that about anything which doesn't lead us anywhere.

It's like saying: What tells us that every other human being is not in fact a robot programmed to have thoughts that resemble to that of a human. We can't.

Have two people stand on different spots on the equator.
Have them walk towards the north pole. (True, not magnetic)

If the world was flat, they will never cross paths, because their paths are parallel.

But they would cross paths eventually, hence the world is round.

may not lead us anywhere, but hey some things may just be unknowable

but clearly the world is flat

if they both walk towards the north pole they would intersect at the north pole because they're both walking towards the same place



let the circle represent a theoretical 2d surface, red = north pole, green = person 1, blue = person 2. you say to both people "go to north pole" so they go. clearly they intersect despite it being a flatland. they don't have to be parallel
