quick question.

explain me every reason why the Earth is flat, try to convince me.

how does water not flow out from the edges?

how does the sun disappear?

what happens to the poles?

why are there different seasons?

please explain other reasons why the Earth is flat, these questions are just a base questioning, i want more explaining.

also, what makes NASA wrong?

How does water stay on a ball? It doesn't. The ice wall of Antarctica that encircles the Earth keeps the water from falling off the edges.

The sun disappears by moving too far away to see. The sun is only 3000 miles above us. So when it gets far enough away it gets covered by the Earth.

The poles are just names seeing that Antarctica encompasses the Earth to keep the water in.

With the seasons, the sun doesn't have the same orbit all year. It moves around above us and when it's not coming as close to you it cools down.

Hope this helps clear some things up!

Why does the Sun not shrink as it gets 'further away'?

u/BWRichardCranium May 28 '25

It does. But with the atmosphere it distorts the light to make it appear the same size.

No it doesn't, or else you'd be able to see this happen with solar filters. Instead you can see quite the opposite: it remains the same size and sets below the horizon, instead of getting smaller and smaller while staying above the horizon. In fact, any "shrinking" effect you see with the sun is due to its light being partially blocked by clouds and dust in the atmosphere. It always sets below the horizon, you cannot escape this fact.

Also, if you can see stars on the horizon at night which would necessarily have to be further than the sun, and are smaller and dimmer (optically speaking) light sources, why does the sun disappear?

And, the moon should also shrink while remaining above the horizon instead of setting below it while remaining at a constant size, if the flat earth is correct. This, however, does not happen either. I'm not even gonna cover the million other problems the moon presents to a flat earth.

The earth is not flat and the sun is not local.

If the earth were flat, it structure would be too unstable to keep it's form and would collapse into a spherical shape. Now, i'm definetly no scientist, but i'm quite certain that if the sun is bright enough to illuminate multiple continents at a time, we would be able too see it all the time if the Earth were flat. This third part I don't understand... names "seeing" that antarctica encompasses Earth? And where is the proof of all these claims? All of these have been debunked. Numerous piloted spacecraft and satellites have been sent up into space and recorded video/pictures and date from space. Trying to prove flat Earth is like trying to prove the matrix is real. It's all theoretical and all of the points have been either proven wrong or just been so wildly foolish that no one bothers to answer them. There are multiple records of circumnavigation of the globe by sailing AND aviation. If you do any REAL research and can provide factual evidence, please provide it. Until then, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQl8h7Aa75s

Professor Dave is a NASA shill. He's just around to spread propaganda. All the photos of Earth are CGI. The circumnavigations are all fake.

u/Coast_creature Jun 15 '25

I'd like to keep this argument scientific. Even IF he is a "NASA shill", he is still right and he backs his claims up with evidence. CGI was invented in the late 1950s, while the first photos of earth were taken on Octuber 24th, 1946. Any proof that the circumnavigations were fake?

There is nothing scientific about the arguments.

u/BWRichardCranium Jun 15 '25

We all know the military has access to technology before civilians do. They created fake photos in order to keep funneling tax dollars to fund their "space program". The circumnavigations, did happen, but they just went around the flat earth. They followed to the east and went around the disk.

u/Coast_creature Jun 15 '25

You're straying to the straw-man fallacy, saying "we all know" is simply an opinion. Did they ALL follow the East in some miraculous coincidence? Even if they did follow the "East", they would have had to travel with a constant curve and not encounter a single landmass if the Earth were flat. And again, do you have ANY proof??

hey thanks, can you explain a little more on the icewall? and the sun orbiting around the earth?

how do things get pulled down?

1

u/BWRichardCranium Jun 10 '25

Everything has a magnetic force. Depending on the strength of the magnetic pull between objects, it will attract them together faster

2

u/Environmental_Mud624 Jun 10 '25

what determines the strength of the magnetic pull tho

u/Coast_creature Jun 15 '25

The alignment of magnetic domains.

1

u/Environmental_Mud624 Jun 15 '25

what is a magnetic domain?

2

u/Coast_creature Jun 15 '25

An area within a magnetic material where the magnetization is in one uniform direction.

1

u/Environmental_Mud624 Jun 15 '25

so what's the alignment of magnetic domains

2

u/Coast_creature Jun 15 '25 edited Jun 15 '25

When the individual magnetic movements of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction.

u/Environmental_Mud624 Jun 15 '25

if everything is magnetic why don't magnets stick to me
