What I never understood about this theory was: where do you fall down to? And if the moon is a sphere, why not the earth?
Just the earth is flat, everything else is sphere. That’s why there’s only life on earth
The flat earth is constantly accelerating “upwards”, which is what creates the equivalent of sane people gravity. So it’s not really falling over the edge as the Earth leaving you behind.
Thing is, even though that’s the one thing that would work*, they don’t believe that.
* Except you’d start seeing relativistic effects in short order.
Yes, that’s their belief. Does that mean that there is no gravity beyond earth? Also how does the sun work then? Do they believe we are geocentric, not heliocentric?
There’s just so much that doesn’t add up.
The sun and moon are tiny and relatively close. They rotate in circles above the surface at a constant distance (don’t ask why). From what I know they spend a lot more time “disproving” existing theories than finding new ones to explain their model.
Interestingly, General Relativity shows that gravity is equivalent to the surface of the earth constantly accelerating upward, even on our lovely globe.
the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, we’re just feeling the acceleration.
oh no maybe I shouldn’t give them any ideas
