gravity

if an object has enough mass, it attracts objects around it

^

a large enough asteroid could draw in debris from around it and gain mass, therefore increasing it's gravitational pull

the cycle would continue until there isn't any mass in the area and the planet is formed

the planet would be round because gravity is a field, hence it reaches out in every direction and gets progressively weaker

meaning that the earth would be round

that's how the "globe" earth was formed

according to science

FEers challenge the legitimacy of gravity.

yeah

i'm aware of that

but @H8mz88 was questioning how the "globe" earth was formed if gravity existed

yeah ?

yeah

yep.

"how is the globe earth formed"

so ?

so?

i just explained it to you

alright thx ?

the reason I use gravity as a way to challenge the flat earth theory is because it's a sound theory, and hasn't been disproven yet

you're welcome, i guess

There's two other explanations for gravity that I've heard. One, I'm not permitted to discuss here, as it's considered propaganda from a controlled opposition, and two, is density / buoyancy, where objects that are more dense than air are forced downward.

propaganda?

and forced downwards where?

forced downward relative to our position on earth.

so what about the sun then?

like, why isn't it forced downward, too?

and that's a similar theory to gravity, but without the universal application that gravity has

how does it move?

if you say it does

and what about the other planets?

and the moon?

it's a cosmic mystery - all lights in the firmament. No one can say what they really are. FEers will tell you they don't know.

ah

do you know what the moon and sun are for sure? have you been to either?

i'll be honest, it's impossible to completely debunk the idea of a flat earth

of course not

but i've seen both

That's the reasoning behind this.
