And so the plot thickens...
I guess he was silenced by the big evil corp that guards Antarctica :/
Technically buoyancy requires a force that acts on the whole system not gravity. Its just the only other possible forces i couls think of wouls be Fc (centripital force (or centrifugal force one of the 2) which would say we are spinning very fast in a circle. Which is ok i guess. Theres not really anuthing wrong with it
there is though, FE believe the earth is stationary
Most of them yes. But not all of them
The non-religious ones don't find it necessary to incorporate geocentrism.
the non religious ones make less sense because what is their excuse?
Purely distrust in the government, I think.
sure but scientists aren't government though
Yes they are. Some of them no but definetly a large amount are hired by the government for research or millitary purposes
@the21cat Yes, it technically needs an acceleration, gravitational or by other means
Yo, right so the earths round my guys
Flat earther's think it's round, too.
Read that back to yourself again, slowly
* in a hushed voice
*that's the joke*
Aight I came here for a debate thanks, itโs round ๐
it's a joke on the semantics of calling earth round.
it's a globe, for sure.
why do so many discords have admins that let their personal biases interfere with their actual administration
!mute @Euclid because f*&^ you, that's why
jk XD

the earth isnt flat.
How can the earth be flat if you can't look 100km to the opposite site of a sea?
exactly! it's a box!
A box has 6 sides. If you believe that the earth has a periphery of 40,000 km at the equator, each of the 4 sides that are inline, is 10,000 km long. So that doesn't make any sense.
if the earth is flat, and the sun is close to earth, it should be relatively easy to draw a triangle linking the sun, the east and west coast
So you mean that there wouldn't be (many) time zones most of the time? If that's what you mean, I agree.
i don't care about time zones, i care about triangles
I would very much like it if someone could explain how the sun could work on a flat earth
We can make proper triangles at a spheriod earth too, the only difference is the base line, which would go through the earth.
But the angles of those triangles would be quite differnet
No, the won't. Imagine a line on which you put a isosceles triangle (with the same angles at the bottom). Now imagine that the line curves, but the points of contact stay the same.
Wait, where are these points exactly? Because I was imagining two points on the surface of the Earth some finite distance apart, with the third point being the sun
That's right, I could explain it way better with a picture, but that isn't possible, right?
I understand what you're saying about the isosceles triangle, but there are a few problems. The most important of which is that the angle that you're measuring has to be with respect to the surface of the Earth on both models. On the flat model, the norm of the surface is always in one direction. In the globe model, the norm changes depending on where you are
I also wish I could use some pictures to explain, but I'm very new to discord, so I have no idea about any of that ๐ฆ
