It can be mathematically shown that the attractive force towards a body is equivalent to that of a point source at the centre of mass. Therefore, things would fall diagonally towards the middle of the earth rather than straight down if the earth was flat.

>>681793245
They believe that the rotation of the disk is at just the right rate to counterract the diagonal pull. They also believe the sun is a "spotlight" and moves around the disk creating day and night. That's another thing that's dumb as fuck, if that were true we wouldn't have half the earth in day/night.

Fair enough,I hadn't actually heard of that reply. How exactly could the sun be a spotlight though? It emits light radially outwards in all directions. These people are fuxking potatoes

there is a slim chance that it is actually flat

W8 it's not?
>>
>>681793483
>>681793729
Also, just realised that the rotation thing cannot work- centrifugal force goes as 1/r, gravity goes as 1/r^2, so unless the planet has some arbitrarily defined density distribution that couldn't work
>>
>>681792539
summer already?
>>
>>681793729
the idea is that the sun can't be that far away because the sun rays are often at angles which i agree does not make sense but then again I'm sure its possible that the light is spread out due to perspective, clouds and atmosphere etc
the only real point flat earthers make is about actually trying to find proof of curvature on the earth. 99% of what they say is pure trash

Yeah but there is no way to get those two forces to balance out at all radii, at a certain distance from the centre the centrifugal force is greater than the horizontal component of gravity, so things would be falling diagonally in the opposite direction

I'm going to tell you about a concept that I call 'conspiracy misdirection'. It's basically a type of misinformation/disinformation. Conspiracy misdirection is what happens when a conspiracy theory is propagated that is considered to be the truth about whatever that conspiracy theory is about, but actually is NOT the truth and hides an even GREATER conspiracy that is TRUE (and thus NOT a 'theory'). One of the MAJOR techniques that intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MI5, the Mossad, etc. use to deceive us is conspiracy misdirection, which is to make certain conspiracy theories popular in mainstream society that are used to push us further away from the truth. I'll give you an example: They'll tell us that the Apollo 11 Moon landing never happened, although I think that what most likely happened is that the Apollo 11 Moon landing not only happened, but they found more than they bargained for on the Moon like artifacts and ruins which CONFIRM that we are NOT alone in the universe. Eventually, we might have even been warned to never come back - which might explain why we've never gone back to the Moon since 1972. Even if we weren't warned to never return to the Moon, we DID land on the Moon and found WORKS OF INTELLIGENCE on it. I am UTTERLY CONVINCED that people on the NASA payroll are pushing the 'Moon hoax' conspiracy theory to push people further from the possibility that beings (possibly even ancient HUMAN beings) landed on the Moon a long time ago and built stuff there. The 'Moon hoax' theory might have even been CREATED by NASA employees. COME ON people, THINK. What do you think is the more paradigm-shattering secret?: The possibility that we DIDN'T land on the Moon or the possibility that we DID land on the Moon and found artificial stuff there? OBVIOUSLY it's the second possibility. (end of part 1)
>>
>>681796310
forgot the last "?"
>>
>>681791175
>implying the earth isn't flat
>>
>>681796496

(start of part 2) You see, the REAL reason why the second possibility is being hidden from us is NOT because a loving government wants to prevent mass panic (that's just the cover story), but because they want to prevent us from asking 'too many' questions. If it were confirmed that we DID land on the Moon and found artificial stuff there but were lied to about such a historic discovery, then people (and LOTS of them) WOULD ask more questions about what else they've been lied to about. They'd say "Well, they lied to us about that, so what ELSE have they lied to us about? The origin and history of the human species? The pharmaceutical industry? Free energy? The banking industry?" It opens the door to EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. And THAT'S why the 'Moon hoax' theory is FIERCELY promoted, while most people have almost NEVER heard of that second possibility (and, more worryingly, probably haven't even THOUGHT ABOUT IT). Another example of conspiracy misdirection is the sudden popularity of the Flat Earth theory. The sudden popularity of the Flat Earth theory is a CIA psyop designed to divide and distract people from the TRUE nature of Earth, which is that Earth is HOLLOW. Earth's crust is about 800 miles thick and there is a 'sun' at Earth's centre (which is actually a nuclear fission reactor) which is about 650 miles in diameter and the distance between a dweller in the Inner Earth world and their inner central 'sun' is only about 2,900 miles. (end of part 2)
>>
>>681796550

(start of part 3) Okay, this is a shorter version of what conspiracy misdirection is for people that don't like reading lots of text: Conspiracy misdirection is when a false conspiracy theory is used to hide a true conspiracy theory that has even more far-reaching implications than the false conspiracy theory. (end)

If the earth was flat, you wouldn't need higher antennas for propagation of radio signals.

not entirely convinced by that. Assuming water flow, caves (caused by water erosion) hills and valleys, (same) would be pretty much the same.

If the earth were flat, what wouldnt happen are tides, seasons that alternate on north and southern hemispheres, plate tectonics in the way geologists can measure shockwaves through the earth, and a vast range of other stuff.
