The World is Really Flat.

Everything you've been taught is a lie from the government. The world is really flat.

Here's an informative website on why the world isn't round.
Just so you know, this post is completely sarcasm except for this sentence and the word below it. This space is completely white. There is nothing here. Do not highlight it.

How thick is the earth? o.O Anyway, if you think the Earth's flat, explain the many pictures and Google Earth.  wink

Very weird.

Whatever happened to circumnavigatory plane trips?

Re: The World is Really Flat.

I wonder who makes these websites and why.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: The World is Really Flat.

*The following statement is not designed to be offensive or rude.*

Here's another example of how people have become incredibly short sighted and gullible. The world is round, and there is know reason to deny it. Have you ever looked down the horizon and seen an airplane super far away, that looked like it was going straight down? Thats because it's going around the earth. And what dumbfounds me is as to why any government would "lie" about it. It would serve no purpose to tell us the world was round if it was really flat.  Of all wacky theories and story's I've read, this is the most absurd and absent minded thing ever.

EDIT: good I thought for a sec Sunrise-Moon was serious.  tongue  But the website is.

I know. I love looking up controversial topics and reading theories [stupid, or otherwise]. I love their "Why the world is flat" page. "Flat earthers know that the ocean is just a bowl full of water, with icy edges holding the water in" xD.

No such person. He was made up by the government too. Also, highlight the first post.

Re: The World is Really Flat.

Allow me to step in and say....


THE EARTH IS FLAT.


Well, scientifically, it must be.

I KNOW technically it is round. But there must be some:
A- Anti-Logic Theory
B- Paradox
C- MaGiC!!!

-that is keeping it possible for the world to be round.

A sphere on earth with tiny objects on the surface COULD NOT have them on all sides, 'top' and 'bottom'.

But if the earth were flat, it could have it on the top and not the bottom. Perfectly possible.

But it isn't flat, so therefore it isn't possible.

But it exists, so therefore it must be possible.

But-
Not in a possible way. It is made possible with an impossible method.

Or the earth really is flat, and the reason you could fly around the world completely is- some paradox-like teleportation.

Either must be right. The earth can't just be round.

Also, if the earth were round with no impossible-possible methods acting upon it, the moon would crash into earth.

If you mean the mean radius, 6,371 km.

Columbus didn't prove the world was round. He thought he did, but it turns out America=/=Asia, so he didn't  tongue

Radius is a circular term and I believe we have already declared that the world is flat

In that case we won't know until someone finds the edge of the world and falls off, I guess.

But it's probably infinitely thick, so that won't work.
Or at least the world is infinitely long, and everything repeats eventually, so it appears to be a round, cyclic world when in fact it's different copies of the same flat portion that we're running across  tongue
