Yeah pretty much
But the even funnier flaw is
Black holes...
What's keeping the earth lassoed to the sun
That's why some flat earthers believe the sun is circling around the earth.
for some reason.
Then that disproves the explanation of lassoeing around the sun
Actually its a matter of perspective. Ypu could say the sun is rotating around the earth but not the planets around the earth as well
They must come up with a force that keeps the sun to the earth
Usually at this point flat earthers will say "because God"
I legit wanna talk 1 on 1 with a flat earther and see all there reasonings.
Or believe gravity because that wouldnt even contradict their model and its been proven several times
It does contradict their model
I also wanna talk 1 on 1 with a person who believes in the Big Bang since I'm a Christian.
ofc, civil talk with it.
If they admit gravity exists everyone will instantly slide to the center of the flat earth
Because everything is attracted to the center of gravity
yup.
No the acceleration is negligible
Plus other mass can counteract that
The sun has a much, much larger mass than the eath
Larger masses = more gravity
That means the only thing left is that the earth orbits around the sun
But more distance = improportionally less gravity
That applies to both masses
The sun and the earth
By a rate of 1/d2
^2
Doesn't matter what the rate is
It does
Either the earth doesn't orbit around the sun or it does
No matter the distance, the sun will have a greater influence on the earth than the earth will have on the sun
It could not for any reasonable purposes
Unless you're saying that we should be orbiting around some random rock in space
Assuming that rock is far away
Because an asteroid may have a smaller mass, but it's far away, right?
No the sun is a "light" that isnt mass would be their arguement most likely
Or maybe The sun orbiting around Jupiter
I want someone who is like, famous/popular who believes in a Flat Earth to go into space and see that the earth is curved so badly.
