If the Earth were flat---

Interesting, because the flat earthers tried that very experiment with the laser in the documentary and it failed...🤔

"They" are known by many names. I say the Illuminati, but Trump calls them the Deep State. Q refers to them as [DS] for short, as he is pressed for time.

[Oh - and I am actually a flat Earther, in reality, in case anyone thinks I am just mocking. But I do appreciate humour also.]

Dude, you should tell people more often that you're a flat-earther. Yeah they'll want to argue, but PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW YOU EXIST! People need to know there are flat-earthers who don't have chips on their shoulders.

Every time this topic comes up I am reminded of Watson's amazement that Sherlock Holmes did not know the earth went around the sun. Holmes said now that he knew it, he would do his best to forget it. He proceeded to explain how he intentionally kept only the information which was useful to him, because he didn't want useful information lost in the jumble of useless information.

"But the Solar System!" Watson protested.

"What the deuce is it to me?" Holmes interrupted impatiently; "you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.”

I just wanted to say that I think it's awesome that you can joke right along with and have reasonable conversations with people who have different beliefs, even if they are different than your own.

If only more of that existed!

Kudos to you, Moses!

Very interesting. Maybe Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was letting us know he didn't believe in heliocentricity, without giving us reason to think that Sherlock Holmes was hoodwinked by the heliocentric theory (i.e. Sherlock Holmes didn't care, so he didn't investigate).

my whole thing on flat earth- what does it matter?

i have seen " Christians ", some even on this site over the years, get so caught up in insisting on flat earth that they said that one could not be a true believer until they accepted flat earth.


it is just a distracting argument that goes nowhere.....

I'm not sure an experimental failure proves anything. An experimental result either supports a hypothesis, or not. An experimental failure would imply the results were inconclusive.

For example, in the video experiment I linked, if the laser could not be seen at 40km, this might mean the experiment had failed (i.e. an inconclusive result). But if, along the way, the scientists observed the laser light only being visible at higher and higher altitudes (consistent with the Earth's alleged rotundity), this would likely be evidence that the Flat Earth hypothesis was wrong, and that Earth was indeed a ball. Note that at 40km, this would be some 30 or more meters in height (actually more than 100 meters if laser was level).

Also, remember the [DS] (whether Free Masons, or CIA, or Communists - essentially the devil's minions on Earth) will always try to obfuscate the truth. Look at the Maricopa audit. Apparently, a draft audit has been released showing Biden had even more votes than counted. Look at Ivermectin. If one believed the [DS], one might think it was only a medicine for horses. The whole Creation/Evolution debate - [DS] says Creation is religion, but Evolutionism is science?

It is known that The Flat Earth Society has members around the globe.

The measurement of a day, with its hours, minutes and seconds, was mapped to the rotation of the earth. (I know you don't believe the Earth rotates, but play along just for a minute for the explanation.) It has nothing to do with the Earth revolving around the sun.

If the Earth did not revolve around the sun the day might be 1/356th longer, or the same miniscule amount shorter depending on whether the rotation goes into or away from the revolution direction, but the day would still be mapped to the same perceived interval. Since the length of a day is measured by how long we have observed a day is, if the length of a day were different we would have measured it differently.
