Yes

Earth is flatter than egg

But not flatter than ellipsoid

Which topologically are the same but I don't want to get into that

Because it was manufactured that way

If you mean why, it is so balls don't all roll into the holes by themselves

And if mars is so similar to the earth in terms of gravity, why would it be flat?

But here's a genuine question to you folks

Do you *genuinely* believe in flat earth or is this all just trolling?

I never get it with you people, is it a bunch of jokes

Bad ones but hey I'm not good at jokes

Or are you really serious

Please tell me

Say the truth, I will leave and you won't ever talk to me again

Please

I don't understand why

I mean

Mark Rober said it's a group of people that were essentially outcast, and now they have their own little community in which they are accepted, which is why they stick to it

And I partially believe that but

Would the y really believe *that*

Aah

I'm glad you said that

I tried to get as many roles as possible, so I chose them randomly

Honestly, I'm a maths/physics enthusiast that came here to have some fun, but mostly to find out why the flat earth society exists

Why people are in it and stick to it

I've already tried with other people it doesn't work

I'd talk about centres of gravity, accounts, photographs, observations, theorems built upon a globular earth

But nobody wants any of it

So now I just listen to them

Unless the earth was rotating extremely fast

It wouldn't be as flat as they put it out to be

And if it was rotating that fast, life would be very different

No I have not

Which is why flat earth can't be correct

Well, there is a planet called Haumea which is as close as you get to flat

Because of rotation

Day and night cycle? Seasons?

What makes it move

Why would it just

Move

?

If it's so much bigger than the earth

If it isn't, how does it emit light

There would be no fusion due to gravity

No radiation therefore

So there is day all the time

Wonderful

But day and night change every 12 hours

But we can predict

What happens in stars

Just like we did with black hole

You said it wasn't moving

Yes I am, but not false science

But theories of gravity

Are we just ignoring them?

For one that is absolutely not true, because you are ignoring the whole fields of number theory, real analysis and some of topology

Well I got my answer

Y'all genuinely believe in the false science

What do you want proof of?

The law of universal gravitation?

Or what gravity is?

Ok so the latter essentially

There are plenty of theories

The most common is relativity

Well there you go you know it

what

A theory which all observations fit

Yours is much worse than pseudoscience

Don't argue with flattards, you'll get nowhere, they will believe what they want to believe until they grow up and open their eyes

I wonder what their parents think of them

Oh well

If black holes exist, as flat earthers tend to say they don't, why do you say there is no gravity?

There has been a black hole photo

If you didn't know

Gravitational waves too

There has even been evidence of hawking radiation

It's a picture compiled of radio waves

Not a simulation

So you don't believe in black holes

Straight up

How do you explain gravitational waves

And what happens to a massive star when it collapses?

But it isn't in observable

a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape

That isn't how it works

There is matter around it that emits a characteristic light because of all the heat and pressure there

Also, there is hawking radiation

Not a fermion so strictly speaking it isn't

Why

Different way to word the same thing

They do get drawn in

The photons in the accretion disk don't fall in

They escape

Which is how we see

Because they're in the accretion disk

I won't lie, you definitely do

Nothing

Honestly, I won't pretend that I can change anyone's mind on this server, it's just fun to see some flatties talking nonsense

I think you would all really benefit from playing kerbal space program

The earth is left
