Flat Earth Theory / Re: Car in Space

« on: February 11, 2018, 08:03:00 AM »

I dont know if this has been asked before or not if so i do apologize. Even if the earth was flat, which i believe it to be round, What would nasa or anyone care to cover it up or fake anything? What point would there be? Because people would still continue to do the same things they do now day after day, go to work, have sex (i know i would)  drive etc.. Things would not come to a stop or the world erupt into chaos. Folks would still go on vacation, have kids and drive cars just as we do now.. We as a human race have been doing these very things for years and if the world was flat we would still continue to do so. Even if there were a special news bulletin saying folks we have just found out the planet we live on is flat, folks would be surprised and talk about this for a few weeks and life in general would return to normal. We as the human race have been doing fine for thousands of years and things have worked fine so far so there would be no great gotcha moment that would bring life as we know it to a standstill... We would carry on just fine.. Thanks

Or ponder this thought... While you are on said craft it it is able to go far enough from Earth to your satisfaction and become stationary where you are able to observe the rotation of the Earth for as long as you deem necessary. Again I know these questions are hypothetical but I ask them because they come to mind. Thank you very much for your time...

Hello Tom,
      Thank you for the reply. Let me ask the question in a different manner. Consider that Branson and Elon Musk jointly made a craft that went much further, enough that you were satisfied and while on said craft actually made several orbits around the Earth or whatever direction you like...  Would this be sufficient? I understand obviously this is an hypothetical question, however I enjoy civil and educated debates so to speak as I have always been curious of others thoughts especially on this topic. And thank you again for your reply and civil discussion...

Flat Earth Theory / New member with one question for FE members

« on: February 10, 2018, 01:57:12 AM »

Hello,
     My nephew recently has become a believer in a flat earth. Why? I dont know but thats his choice... The question I have is this. Lets say Sir Richard Branson is able to complete construction of and tests of the craft he wants to take average folks into space in the next 5 years. If this happens and a member of the FE society, and by that I mean a member who is well known "around" the globe takes a flight and sees the earth is round, when said person returns to earth and says yes the Earth is indeed round as a marble, would that end this debate for those who think its flat? And one other question I have is since all other planets are round why would it be that the Earth is flat? One FE member a few years back was asked by Elon Musk how did they know that Mars was round and not flat their response was... because we can actually observer Mars and see that Mars is round through a telescope etc.. Now I am not asking any of this trying to be an ass, but asking as an educated fellow who likes to ask questions and have a civil discussion/debate and possibly learn something, even though learning is a tougher task now at 47 as im pretty sure i killed a few brains cells over the years. Thanks for any opinions and remember... she's as round as a marble i bet the farm..
