Flat Earth Theory / New newbie
« on: December 15, 2017, 08:24:14 PM »
I came across an old friends profile on Facebook. Turns out he is a Flat Earth believer. I had no clue this was a thing and it raised my curiosity.
1. Earth isn't a planet? According to dictionary.com, a planet is: "any of the eight large heavenly bodies revolving about the sun and shining by reflected light: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune, in the order of their proximity to the sun". So, if English literature dictates Earth being a planet, does this mean the English language is also a part of this "cover up"? I keep seeing the argument that Earth is "special". This is very biased. Every planet within our solar system is special and serves a purpose. (side note: gas giants are absolutely superb and mind-blowing in my personal opinion; far more spectacular than Earth).
2. What would happen, on a flat Earth, if one were to dig all the way to the "bottom" of the planet?
3. If Antarctica is not at the south pole of planet Earth and does indeed create an ice wall around the edges of a flat Earth, how do they retain their frozen state? They would constantly melt and refreeze but would not hold their "wall" form.
4. What about Felix Baumgartner, the man who sky dived from the stratosphere? Was this faked as well? In the video of him inside of the vessel, you can see that the Earth is round.
