The leading flat-earther theory holds that Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the center and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim. NASA employees, they say guard this ice wall to prevent people from climbing over and falling off the disc which also is the only thing in the universe, Everything else revolves around the earth or was created as props and to keep the humans believing the round earth theory, gravity is a lie and doesnt exist. The belief that the Earth is flat has been described as the ultimate conspiracy theory and humans are not told, over 5 million scientists who understand how the universe works down to the smallest molecule must be either lying and keeping it from the rest of us or they have been brainwashed by the science community to believe the round earth theory like the rest of us. All of this came from the KGB's operation infection in the early 1990's via means of broadcasting shows, documentaries and information across Yugoslavia and the Soviet bloc states on late night shows, as well as publishing articles . According to the Flat Earth Society's leadership, its ranks have grown by 200 people (mostly Americans and Britons) per year since 2009. Judging by the exhaustive effort flat-earthers have invested in fleshing out the theory on their website, as well as the staunch defenses of their views they offer in media interviews and on Twitter, it would seem that these people genuinely believe the Earth is flat. Anyone who opposes their views and beliefs are deemed a troll, brainwashed by the illuminati or a "NASA agent" and usually deleted or banned from certain boards and web pages, you can't have a debate of any kind including a scientific debate, its very similar to the religious and atheist views that god does or doesn't exist, an endless battle but only difference is no one can really show proof either way of that debate. Whereas there is 100's if not 1000's of ways to prove the earth is a sphere and not flat. Its simply going to be a case of in 10 to 20 years or so when 'space tourism' and 'mineral mining' is a thing, people actually traveling from earth to the moon, mars and asteroids to mine certain minerals will the flat earth theory believers still be around or still refuse to. Ive watched, read and studied every aspect of the flat earth theory and its culture for 15 years, supposedly these people are "awake" and not sheep, but a lot of these people are taking false information, conspiracy psy-ops, sometimes satire as gospel truth, and I can grasp that the people at the top have taken wrong, unfinished theories such as the theory of relativity as a base, then portrayed their ideas, beliefs and theories around this without even understanding basic principles of science, which has created a spiral Chinese whispers effect and all sorts of outlandish, completely wrong and fake information is circulating through this culture like wildfire and I know now and in the future, this is always going to be used as a way to instantly divide a certain community or an opposition foundation or protest group.
The phenominom that is Gravity or gravitational electromagnetism
Gravity is an emergent entropic phenomenon connected to dark matter and dark energy in all the universe that arises from the entropy of the universe which is the properties of thermodynamics or the unusable part of the system, in other words gravity is a side effect or an illusion not the cause, in our case its not the result of the earths electromagnetic centre pulling us towards it. The quantum particles and their associated forces are emergent properties of the dimensional architecture of spacetime, and so is gravity while being neither particle nor a force and non existent in a levitating electromagnetic field such as ours. Both the Coriolis force and centrifugal force forces are proportional to the mass of the object but plays a huge part in certain aspec†s. The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate and the centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the rotation rate. The Coriolis force acts in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and to the velocity of the body in the rotating frame and is proportional to the object's speed in the rotating frame. The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame. They are correction factors that do not exist in a non-accelerating or inertial reference frame.
The video below is a fantastic breakdown of every part of the theory the flat earthers believe, by Armoured Skeptic, if your still not 100% sure check it out its very good.
You Don’t Weigh Less at the Horizon
While flat-earthers will contend that there is no such thing as gravity, this force unites the entire universe. It’s everything from what makes the numbers jump on a bathroom scale to the reason why planets and stars form. It uniformly pulls everyone on the surface of Earth toward our planet’s center of mass (roughly the exact center). That’s why you’ll weigh the same in Los Angeles as you will in Jakarta.
If the Earth was flat, gravity would no longer pull everyone the same way. If the flat Earth would be something like a disk, those at the edge of the disk would be pulled relatively sideways, while those at the center of the plate would be pulled straight down. The difference would change your weight enough to confuse a bathroom scale. Considering that humans have been to every landmass on Earth without celebrating sudden lightness, we can rule out a flat planet.
You Don’t Fall Off The Planet
Where is the edge of the world according to flat-earthers? The answer changes, but it usually involves some impenetrable barrier at said edge that prevents people from going past or falling off. Global conspiracies apparently prevent people from investigating these boundaries. The reason we dont fall of the bottom of the earth is because gravity is a result of earth, it doesn't work independent of the earth. Flat earthers understand that gravity works in one direction and that is down, but this is not true it works in the direction of the center of the earth depending on which part of the huge planet we are on.
Timezones Exist
To make the seasons work with a flat Earth, advocates claim that the Sun orbits in a circle above our disk, like a tetherball on an invisible string. But timezones exist. I have spoke to friends in New zealand, Australia and totally different time zones and its dark where they are (nighttime) and its bright sunshie (day) where I am
A flat Earth can’t account for how some parts of the planet are provably in darkness while other parts are bathed in light.
The Rest of the Solar System
Like how we’ve seen the Earth from many angles and found it round, we’ve sent cameras to the rest of the planets in our solar system and snapped photos of them from many angles too. They all appear to be spheres. That makes sense if gravity is the main force in the universe pulling cosmic gas and dust and rock together to form planets and the flat earth community has even stated that mars is round and other planets are observed as round, but why not the earth. The chances that the Earth is the only planet in the solar system that is non-spherical, yet subject to the same forces as other planets, are zero. It just wouldnt survive the framework of spacetime, volatility of space and hundreds of other factors, forces and conservation laws if the earth was flat.
Eclipses Show You Earth’s Shape
Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse? It’s when the Earth passes in between the Sun and our moon and casts a shadow over the lunar surface. If you look closely, you can pick out a slight curvature. Curvature is possible with a flat disk, but even flat-earthers admit that the Earth spins. If the Earth were flat, there would be some people that occasionally see a straight line projected on the moon (the edge of a disk). That hasn’t happened since humans looked up, so a sphere is the logical shape to assume.
A few things you can do at home or around the globe
Put water on a globe in your house and spin - (Curvature formula - Gravitational vectors)
Flat earthers will say, If earth was a globe why does the water not run off into space.?
On Earth, the emergant gravity vector is towards the center everywhere, whereas for a globe in your house the gravity vector is towards the floor of your house. Poor example
Put a drop of water on a penny - (Water retention - energy conservation)
Flat earthers will say If water always finds a level in a glass, pool or lake, how is earth curved and holding it all.?
Water naturally flows into what space it has that’s closest to that center of gravity, which means that the surface of the pool is going to be equidistant to that center. Wheres the huge bulge in the sea on a flat earth..?
Look up at the suns rays or look down a train line - (3 dimensional perspectives)
Flat earthers have shown many examples of clouds behind the sun on photos. how can there be clouds behind or the sun appear to converge just behind the clouds..?
The sun is 93 million miles away, all the rays are a parellel angle and appear to converge due to perspective effects
Look at the fish swimming in the sea - (Mass density and buoyancy)
flat earthers will say If gravity is pulling the water to the center of the earth, how do fish swim in it..?
Fish have a destiny identical to the surrounding water, same way our dense mass holds us to the earth
Look at the ships, bridges or structures or horizons around you
Many examples of either fake, pointless experiments like the bedford levels have been used, but since the p900 as 1 example of camera's and the technology available in the last 5 years has blown flat earthers off the globe
Below is a 'real' photo of Lake pontchartrain transmission lines, ive seen on flat earth websites deemed as photoshoped, fakes. So below that is 1 of the 100's of amateur videos
