flat earth?

[tgus3]

Are any of you guys on here Flat earth believers? https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php

For my part i think that is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories out there.All you have to do is watch the sun set and fly around the world.

Thoughts?

The first time I saw some of those guys on yt I thought
"hey, that must be a running gag I don't get.."
then I realized that they were serious...

Poor souls, too dense, too ignorant and likely too dumb to comprehend.

the flat earth society exists all the way around the earth they claim

I should watch some of these videos.

Night and Day?
I guess the Sun revolves around the flat earth and at midnight the sun is invisible to the entire planet. Somebody call a friend in Chengdu China right now. Ask if they can see the sun. Then call them a liar because the world is flat and the sun is on the underside at the moment. Assuming you can see the sun in China through the smog? (This is not how the flat earth night and day model works, but this is what I assumed due to sunrise and sunset.)

2:37 "it's hard to explain this so I won't" LOL
I wanna see how the grand finale of this demonstration works when the camera is on the same table as the coin (or light). Toxic Garbage.

Nobody told me about the polar ice cap pizza crust ice walls. Now it all makes sense.
This must the wall from Game of Thrones.

Bob, that's why they're so terrified of climate change. If the ice wall melts, everything spills off the sides.

The Earth can't be flat. If it was, the cats would have pushed everything off the edge into the abyss by now.

Aliens, Bermuda triangle, hale bop, flat earth. It keeps things interesting. I bet Hollywood could make a convincing movie using CGI about flat earth. Just need a celebrity front and the lemmings will follow.

you forgot "hollow earth".. it's almost as funny (surely as ridiculous)

At least those guys have got the shape right.

Although the portals to the interior guarded by Giants is nearly as ridiculous.

North Pole, South Pole, and the Himalayas. Big angry Giants to keep the people people out of the lizard people's world.

Here another big one;according to this;https://www.livescience.com/52300-most-believe-in-extraterrestrial-alien-life.html
54% of americans beleive in intelligent alien life..on this forum that would be what, 40% (theoretically)..?!?

not saying that i do...just throwing that out there.

 

[itsid]

depends on the question..
The universe is so incredibly large and we discover new exoplanets daily on average
(1500 or so in 2016 alone which helps with the average )
and that's only our home galaxy of course...
with millions of galaxies, those numbers grow incredibly large incredibly fast..

even the tiniest non zero chance for life to form on a planet
(and the fact that it did on our planet makes it a non zero chance)
means there must be life on different planets as well somewhere.
maybe even intelligent life
So
Do I believe in non terrestial life, for sure I do;
Do I believe in extraterrestial INTELLIGENCE, I'd still say yes though my inner certainty level dropped!
Do I believe the aliens were, are or -anytime soon- will be on earth?
I have serious doubts let's say.

Distances in our galaxy alone are so enormously big that even lightspeed as the universal speed limit is a sincere obstacle for travelling the universe.
We can't figure out Warp drives yet (at least not physically)
And with what we know so far we'd need to prepare a track first to even make it possible.
(not to mention we lack the power to do so)
Anywhoo.. I doubt our planet has anything to offer that'd peak any hyperintelligent species' interest that's smart enough to figure those things out.
So yeah.. Aliens...

indeed one of my favourites...

Sure, there's intelligent life out there. Will we ever meet them? Doubtful. Google the "Drake Equation". I minored in astronomy in college. It's a fascinating science.

How do we feel about the Big Bang and conservation of energy?
Where did the energy come from to begin with?
Did the universe have a beginning? Will it have an end?
Does believing in the Big Bang also mean believing in “a creator”?
What is the singularity if not a higher power?
Is a singularity what happens when you enter a black hole?

I should have taken the job at the particle accelerator in Batavia.

Did we land on the moon?
Who shot JFK?
Where is Jimmy Hoffa?

An upcoming episode of NOVA answers all those questions and more. Check your local listings.

I think those missing person mysteries are some of the most interesting..I guess im just weird tho....

 

[Kansaskart]

Kansas is flat. Except where I live. I'm a bit of a conspiracy guy, namely cause there's a lot of conspiracies out there. But you gotta be a real tard to believe in the flat earth crap. I believe in aliens for sure and think we reversed engineered alien tech which would explain a few things.

 

[Panhead5496]

Flat earth is nuts.

So I guess the ones who believe flat earth theory think the NASA pics of the clearly round earth taken from space are faked or what...?
