is earth really a sphere?


coupe_no

Recommended Posts

i personally dont believe its a sphere or an oval nor do i believe that its flat like a disc.

 

its definately an interesting topic that explains a lot of other things if you believe it.

 

first the flat earth side:

 

an article on a flat earth

flat earth society forum

very good arguements and examples here

 

my theory in progress

i personally think its a sort of upside down ice cream cone/ egg shape;

here are some very crude 1am paint drawings-

first the most common side:

since i believe every word of the Bible and take it literally i think that Israel, Jerusalem to be precise, is the 'center' or highest point

also i think the earth sits on legs like a table and we are the table surface i guess, the purpose of the legs is to cause earthquakes and present the earth to God like a model or something, huge angels might be in control of each leg:

also forgot to mention i believe in a geocentric universe

earth possibly does not move at all and the sun and moon orbit around us

like this:

and perhaps the angels move the earth up and down to change the seasons :confused:

I read just enough of that dribble to realize that guy is a grade A douchebag. Have these people ever watched the weather channel, or heard of the internet where pictures of the earth are clearly spherical? I mean what's to argue? I'm going to make an internet forum dedicated to arguing that the color blue is really red because there's some crazy verse in the bible that I interpret as saying so.

 

While most of what he was spewing could be considered bullshit, the earth isn't a sphere. Its round, but its not a sphere.

^well yeah almost nothing is a sphere

but the problem with a globe is- scientists claim that gravity is whats holding the oceans upside down and the australians, but howcome if you spill water down a grade facing the north, it runs right down the grade ignoring gravity, when according to science, it should simply puddle because its being pulled straight down

the water should puddle where the red X is

So rivers that flow south are just freaks of nature? Of the top ten largest rivers in the world only the Nile flows from south to north.

TRIPLE POST!

 

I read the whole thing.

 

This philosophy is the result of a fundamental lack of understanding of the complexities of mass and gravitation... and the relation between the two.

 

This is what schools would teach if universal gravitation and general relativity had never been quantified.

Over-simplication of complex issues based solely on personal qualitative linear observation is the reason that people think they are much smarter than they are.

 

I saw nary a single mathematical proof in any of those articles.

then you must have missed this page: http://geocities.com/levelwater/flatearth.html

You do realize, that we have been in space, have directly looked at the earth, and know for a fact that it is indeed round.

 

There are also certain places on earth, like the Bonneville salt flats, where you can stand in one place and see the curvature of the earth.
