One key to the approaching this properly is understanding that if the Earth is flat, the fact that we all think it's a ball is the result of the greatest lie ever told. The ramifications of that range from government coverups to the obsolescence of theories such as that of Gravity and Relativity.

This can't be covered in a couple of posts, so creating questions or arguments which are more specific than "because science says so" will be more enriching.

Go for it.

PAN, you were once one of MB's greatest fonts of crackpot theories but in your absence others have taken your place. Put your name on the wait list and we'll consider you for a position if one becomes available.

I don't recognize this poster, so I'm not sure if he's trolling from the get go, but if you have actually prepared yourself to defend Flat Earth theories I'd be interested in hearing the Flat Earth explanations for the following:

- Lunar eclipses and the phases of the moon.

- The spherical appearance of other planets, the sun, and the moon when viewed from Earth. Is Earth uniquely flat? Are other planets flat as well and we are somehow viewing the flat sides directly from a top-down perspective?

- Do Flat Earth theories have their own gravitational theory? Is Earth in a fixed position at the center/bottom of the universe with the rest of the Cosmos drifting around above it rather than orbiting around it? If so, why is Earth fixed while everything else moves above it?

- Is Antarctica a giant ice wall that borders the Flat Earth rather than its own continent? Are maps of Antarctica and satellite imagery of the continent fake? Many people have traveled to the South Pole, where is the South Pole on a Flat Earth map?

- The layers of the Earth. Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core. Is the Flat Earth core spherical or some other shape? Or is there no core in the Flat Earth theory?

- Does Flat Earth theory discount all distant satellite imagery of Earth? Is it all fake/doctored?

Flat Earthers believe Antarctica surrounds the earth, so no one can cross it to fall off.

-Flat Earthers don't claim to know what's in space. We think it's a clock, and that the moon is self-luminous. What causes eclipses is moot, as it's not relevant to debunk the globe. To think it is means your brain is working on the basis of a fallacy of division.

-Flat Earthers - usually - believe the Earth is the center of creation, that the sky revolves around it. What's up there is fairly mysterious to us, which we're okay with, but we tend not believe they are infinitely burning balls of fire.

-Gravity does not exist. It is the most prevalent theory of course, but there is no evidence of its existence beyond the "proof" that we're not falling off a ball. Coincidentally, we need gravity to not fall off the ball. if this strikes you as odd, just try to find proof of gravity. Instead of gravity (which we only need to stick to the ball), Flat Earthers believe in electromagnetism and density, which are very easily testable and exist everywhere. There is up and down, in the Flat Earth Theory, and it's as simple as that.

-Yes. Antarctica is an ice wall which encircles the Earth. There is no south pole. There is a north pole at the center of the map, which makes south appear to exist as the opposite of it. Researching any public expeditions to the south pole will show that there is a "Ceremonial Pole" where you can go and take a selfie. You can't find the true south pole, and they claim this is because the Earth is wobbling.

-Also yes. All photos of a spherical Earth are fake. All independent balloons (reaching altitudes of 120,000feet) show a flat horizon.

Decent questions.

And you, I see, still spewing your vitriol, poisoning that well in favour of posing arguments or questions.

I wouldn't call a joke "vitriol" but whatever. Tell me about this clock we live in.

I thought it was a funny claim considering the fairly recent news about the first detections of gravitational waves. In fact, this happened to be in the news today: Gravitational Waves From Colliding Black Holes Shake Scientists' Detectors Again : The Two-Way : NPR
