What is the theory?
« on: March 04, 2019, 06:18:46 PM »
I am writing a thesis on viewpoints and I was wondering if anyone would care to explain why they believe in the flat earth theory and their evidence. Any information would be highly appreciated. Feel free to email me if you would like.  :)

The wiki has lots of stuff for you, as does the FAQ.
I think the most common theory is the monopole one, if that helps.

I was looking for more of an opinion piece, from a certain individual. It doesn't need to contain a huge amount of scientific evidence but should try and persuade an individual reading the reply. I understand this may not be possible as they are difficult to write, and people aren't always comfortable sharing their opinion. Any response would be hugely appreciated.

The science is complete bs. Consider that at the same moment, people at longitude 0 seeing sun on eastern horizon, at 90 sun directly overhead, at 180 sun on eastern horizon, and at 270, no sun at all. Impossible on a flat plane with a dome over it.

Come here if you want to study evasion, tribal delusion, bias confirmation, motivated reasoning, etc. This isn't about scientific accuracy.

This is about people feeling they are the brave pioneers of new truth, special, smarter, break free.

There are endless youtube videos of what you want, why ask here?
I am really curious about so many FE things, like how at sunset in Denver, people in St Louis see the dome as dark with stars, while people in Salt Lake City see the same dome as light blue. FE scientists don't know or won't tell me.
