Flat Earth

I honestly think that's nonsense. Also, he thinks it's flat, not round.

He does; my mistake, now corrected. I would be interested to know on what basis you honestly think that. No obligation on you, of course. It just seems odd how you would respond in that way without giving at least some explanation. I made an effort to provide a detailed and reasoned response to your initial point. Why would you not respond accordingly ? Unless of course, the "club" has a set of rules that only members know. That would explain why SF responded to a similar attempt at a reasoned case with three obtuse lines, rather than a cogent, articulated counterargument.

By the way, is it another "club" rule to never admit you're wrong ? That might also explain your position. It would certainly appear to explain SF's evasion of such when misunderstanding AFC over the £350 billion/£350 million.

Congrats to Foxgolfer! Got to be at least his 2nd edit. You know, I feel like we've all achieved this together. :)
Great job Guys!

 
Yo golf shithead. I know, yeah I know, you're doing it on other threads now. But I was only joshin'. No need to go 'edit crazy'.
 
Who says ‘Yo’ ? As I said, I suppose you think you’re funny . Everyone else doesn’t.
 
Is the earth flat? I need to know. It's quite important.

Did you know that the hills in eastern Leicestershire, are the highest ground until you reach the Ural Mountains - if you travel east.

Because the world is flat, you can see Amsterdam and Berlin from Tilton on the Hill.
 
The earth can't be perfectly spherical because the rotation of the planet causes the north and south poles to FLATTEN slightly.

Allegedly.
 
But, It's A Square World as proved by Michael Bentine from 1960-1964. Deryck Guyler and Bob Todd were in it as well so it must be true!

This is a good point, all the scientists I’ve heard answer this question, say the same, the earth is not a perfect ball shape, it is more pear shaped or slightly squished ball shape. So why do all the images of the world portray it as a beautiful perfectly round ball? I don’t get it.
 
Because the variations from 'round' are quite small in relation to the size of the planate. It is an 'oblate spheroid' apparently.

Interestingly, the earths gravity is slightly greater than the calculated mass of the planet would suggest, whoever built the gravity generator for the flat earth got his sums wrong.

Actually the reality is rather more troubling, in 1908 a quantum black hole impacted the earth in Tungusta, Siberia. Since then it has sat at the centre of the earth absorbing matter.

It started tiny, smaller than a grain of sand, but after 100+ years, it is growing.

Beautiful.
 
It didn't start small; it wiped out a huge bit of Forest and it wasn't a black hole.

The Siberia thing, was the first "conspiracy" thing I got into. Think I would have been about 10 years old.
 
The interesting thing is that there was no debris from a meteor strike, for an event that large you would expect some, rather a lot actually.

Quantum black holes are tiny, a fraction the size of a neutron or proton, but with a mass in the billions of kilograms. Gravity is intense but has a very steep gradient for singularities of that size.

For that reason it grows very slowly, by the time it really is the size of a 'grain of sand', the planet will be gone.

When speculating about such things, I always think of Arthur Clarke's aphorism.

"Space is not only stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think".

(Like you I stated reading about this stuff when I was very young.)
 
Probably, little real evidence, but who knows?

I used to love spinning tales in the pub, a few beers, no immediate access to the internet, it was amazing what you could sometimes get away with.

Flights of fancy spun with belief a little superficial knowledge and a few buzzwords could go a very long way. This was especially true on those occasions when the narrative just flowed, used to have people believing all kinds of shit.

One day I shall tell the story of Jefferson Starship and the twelve yellow buckets at Knebworth, or maybe the early morning truffle hunt, with specially trained pigs, in the Black Forest in Germany. (Both true, more or less.)
