Flat Earth Theory / Re: Earthquakes can't exist if the world is flat, but they do exist sooo....

Of course earthquakes can exist on a flat earth. You're addressing the current theory of the mechanism of earthquakes, not the phenomenon...there's a difference. And even the current theory of earthquakes can exist on a flat earth.

Universal acceleration can explain the modern theories for earthquakes, volcanism, and plate tectonics. Why? Because as the flat earth is accelerating upwards, matter is being pressed against the matter below it due to inertia (newton's first law of motion). The bottom-most matter of flat earth (the opposite side of us) receives more force applied to it from the accumulation of mass above it. So, this bottom-most matter changes state and becomes liquid. Then, the liquidified matter at the bottom rises because it's less dense (since it's liquid). This rising magma moves the plates and causes earthquakes, creates the many rocks, and produces lava.

These things don't require a spherical earth in order to operate. We know pressure and temperature have a direct relationship, and it doesn't require a spherical earth.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Sun/Moon Orbit and Upward Acceleration

First, you have to understand that being the least popular of the two competing theories of earth's shape, the flat earth model hasn't had the kind of support and funding that the spherical earth has gotten. Meaning: less progress and advancement of the flat earth model has taken place compared to the spherical earth model. So, much of flat earth remains unexplained.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: What keeps the sun & moon from falling?

Since the sun is a big ball of helium/hydrogen plasma (the least dense of the four states of matter), it naturally rises. Stick a little fire in your microwave and turn the microwave on. The fire rises to the top of the microwave. The same is true for the Sun.

The moon is more difficult to explain. Perhaps it is repelled by the earth's magnetic field? Maybe it's a mirage caused by disturbances in the atmosphere (like the northern lights)?

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Is the dome around earth even real?

Some flat earth theorists believe in a physical dome, some in a type of forcefield, and some in no dome. I personally believe there is no physical dome, but there is a forcefield-type dome (possibly electromagnetic).
