Is the earth flat ?

About gravity, and why stuff falls toward Earth.

They teach you about how there is this mysterious force called "gravity" that pulls stuff to earth, and how a falling object not only falls but accerates at the rate of 9.8 meters (or 32 feet) per second as it falls toward Earth.

In reality there is no such thing as "gravity".

What is actually happening is that this entire flat disk earth we are on is itself constantly accelerating UP ward, at 32 feet per second squared. So when an apple falls from the tree it actually remains stationary. Its the surface of the earth that's moving upward at an accelerating rate that causes the Earth to smack the apple on its ass. But to you, the observer on the Earth, it just looks like the apple is falling because you are on the earth accelerating upward with it.

And modern flat earthers don't buy into all of this new fangled Copernicus and Galileo jive about the sun being the center of the solar system.

Its just as obvious that the Earth is the center of the Universe as it is that the Earth is flat. The planets, like the stars, are just little pinholes of light in that great dome over our heads called "the firmament".

Why is this so hard for people to grasp?

Why do they insist on clinging to the absurd lie that we're living on a globe?

Like the ocean would stay on a globe lol.

If you believe the world is flat then you might as well believe that vaccines cause autism and that you should not only refuse to vaccinate your kids, but your dogs and cats as well. After all, rabies is a harmless disease where all you do is froth at the mouth a little.

What scientist told you that.

This is where I've read it on westernised concepts.

Europe
The ancient Norse and Germanic peoples believed in a flat Earth cosmography with the Earth surrounded by an ocean, with the axis mundi, a world tree (Yggdrasil), or pillar (Irminsul) in the centre.[41][42] In the world-encircling ocean sat a snake called Jormungandr.[43] The Norse creation account preserved in Gylfaginning (VIII) states that during the creation of the Earth, an impassable sea was placed around it:
And Jafnhárr said: "Of the blood, which ran and welled forth freely out of his wounds, they made the sea, when they had formed and made firm the Earth together, and laid the sea in a ring round. about her; and it may well seem a hard thing to most men to cross over it."[44]
The late Norse Konungs skuggsjá, on the other hand, infers a spherical Earth:
If you take a lighted candle and set it in a room, you may expect it to light up the entire interior, unless something should hinder, though the room be quite large. But if you take an apple and hang it close to the flame, so near that it is heated, the apple will darken nearly half the room or even more. However, if you hang the apple near the wall, it will not get hot; the candle will light up the whole house; and the shadow on the wall where the apple hangs will be scarcely half as large as the apple itself. From this you may infer that the Earth-circle is round like a ball and not equally near the sun at every point. But where the curved surface lies nearest the sun's path, there will the greatest heat be; and some of the lands that lie continuously under the unbroken rays cannot be inhabited

Krafty is right. I was just pulling your leg.

But only a year or two ago UTube was filled with folks using the arguments I used above to revive belief in the flat earth. And a number of prolific Wrong Planet posters were taking up the flat earth cause as well.

Though Flat Earthism does seem to have gone out of style among UTubers, after that brief craze, since then.

Our Mother Earth is flat.

I don't see any tits on her. Do you?

you were saying?

and the moon is cheese.

Absolutely!

And NASA is covering that up To!

NASA has colluded with the diary industry for decades to suppress the truth that we actually have an unlimited supply of bleu cheese that could be strip minded from up there!

And the only reason NASA are going back to the moon is to stop China mining all the cheese for themselves.

It's for the good of humanity, the Chinese are lactose intolerant. Can you imagine the combined force of one billion chinese cheese-farts?
