But why isn't the world flat? — Page 2

I just can’t believe after reading this thread that some people seriously still believe that the earth is round. That is sooo Renaissance.

Apparently it takes about 40 minutes, falling, to go through the Earth from one side to the other.

Could you imagine if there was an empty tunnel all the way through the earth. If you feel into it would you just be caught in an infinite loop? Would you fall from one end to the other repeatedly or would you end up suspended somewhere in the center? If you don’t end up suspended then where would gravity switch?

But it’s flat so that’s nonsense.

nonsense, the earth is flat, but tunnels are U-shaped. Once you embrace the premise, you can see how you can simply modify all other thinking to support the premise.

Fine, but the tunnel can’t lead to the other side because there is no other side. I mean, there is the other side, but the tunnel would be infinitely short because the earth is flat.

Why aren’t cinema screen flat? I dislike that almost all cinemas around the world today are scope. By the way, I like my world spherical, not flat.
My Sony Trinitron is not Flat, but Curved. My favourite films are flat or in Academy format.

All screens are spheres. Flat screens are a myth that people believed in during the dark ages.

The world is not yet flat because I have not yet rolled it over thumbtacks.

If the earth were flat my cat would have knocked everything off of it by now.

The Earth isn’t flat because it’s an oblate spheroid.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Anyone that has looked through a high powered telescope will note that nearly every massive object in our solar system seems to be round in shape. I just don’t see why conspiracy theorists would think we would be the special planet that is flat. You want to discuss bigfoot, mothman, and people of power doing ceremonies underneath an owl statue at Bohemian Grove, I’m with you. I just have never heard a single argument that would make me believe the earth is flat. Do any of these flat-earthers ever fly internationally? Do they think it’s weird that you leave the central USA to fly west to Europe and also fly east to go to Europe?

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

The image you see through a telescope is controlled by the government. Venus and the other planets are false flags. The concepts of East and West are propoganda first installed by the Catholic Church in the 1400s. Airplanes and international air travel don’t actually exist; you’ve just been brainwashed into thinking they are.

Don’t be a spheroid truther. Spread these facts that come from my overly paranoid brain!

The screen I’m looking at is flat (it’s called a “flat screen”) but a microbe would disagree. In the same way, the Earth is also flat but you puny humans would probably disagree with me.
