Flat Earth Theory / If the Earth is accelerating

« on: February 15, 2018, 05:43:01 PM »

Wouldn't the soil (at the bottom of the flat Earth) and thus everything get pulled apart because of the pseudoforce of acceleration?
Also, what causes this acceleration?

Flat Earth Theory / Value of g and other stuff

« on: January 01, 2018, 04:39:03 PM »

We know that the value of g increases as we go from the equator towards the poles.

How do flat earthers explain this? As per a picture of their model (with Antarctica at the edge), g would have to be maximum at the center, decrease, and then increase, while on a flat plane. How? I need math, nothing else.

Also, g decreases with depth. This occurs due to application of a theorem (Shell Theorem) by dividing the Earth into a number of shells. How is this possible in a flat Earth? Again, I need math.

And, why would all the space agencies of the world have a conspiracy? Is there any basis for this? I think not. It's conjecture. It's like me believing that other people are robots. It's crazy, and might even be a symptom of a mental disorder (irrational thinking, paranoia).

And what is the explanation for day/night?

I've been reading some other threads and so far I've seen flat earthers:

1. Modify laws into their favour.
2. Act condescendingly and not give a straightforward answer (EVER)
3. Not reply to a particular comment which concerns the two.
4. Act condescendingly and not give a straightforward answer (EVER)
