Flat Earth Theory / Re: How big is the universe?

This is typical round-earth tactics. Their scientists aren't even sure exactly how big the universe is in their model yet we are expected to know the size.

No tactic. I was asking if the Flat Earth Theory had a model of the universe and if so, how big? I read the thing about how the stars are just a swirling thing above the flat disc, and only a few thousand kilometers away. The sun is some tiny spotlight and the planets are holograms, right? So the universe is basically empty except for the disc that we live on. I found the idea incredibly depressing, and was curious if I misunderstood the concept. correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually US Air Force bombed Japan civilians several days with nomercy. There was no Nuke.

You can look up the reports that came from Hiroshima and Nagisaki. It wasn't days of bombing. Everything was dandy one moment, and the next an entire city was silent. Sadly, the US did drop nuclear bombs on those cities and they were unequivocally devastating.  You cannot simulate a nuclear blast with conventional explosives. And there's also the radiation poisoning. If we used conventional bombs, why did so many people get radiation sickness?

Flat Earth Theory / How big is the universe?

And while we're at it, in what shape?

I mean this as a truthful question to FEs, because the thought of a universe that is only a few thousand kilometers across is just... depressing.

I mean, do you know how big the universe is? Like really, really big. As in, if the sun and the next closest star were the size of tennis balls, they would be on opposite sides of the continual United States. HUGE! There's so much stuff out there, and the sun, holly crap-snacks the sun isn't a spotlight. It's this massive energy factory, this huge powerhouse that provides more energy every second than every human on the planet uses all year. (And that's just the little bitty bit that hits the Earth's atmosphere)

Also: Solar Flares... how do they fit into the FET?

the whole theory of nuclear explosions is like ZPG/over-unity but with much less credibility...i.e: you get more energy outputted than inputted

Actually, Uranium 232 has a massive amount of energy already invested into it. Even though it more or less just "springs from the ground" the only way for it to form (being one of the heaviest naturally occurring elements) is in immediate aftermath of a supernova. The whole thing is called "Rapid Neutron Recapturing Process" and it's the reason we have elements heavier than iron. The simplest way to think about it is that a star put a massive crap ton of energy into the Uranium when it formed, and smashing it open releases a small fraction of that energy.
