8 ways life would get weird on a flat Earth

[Michie]

Earth — the blue marble — is our spherical home. But what if Earth were flat? After all, some people, called flat-earthers, truly believe in this retrograde idea. How would everyday life function? Would it function at all? We explore how much of an oddball, or "oddslice" Earth would be if it were flat and whether there are any advantages to living on a strange disk with the sun and moon rotating overhead like a cosmic carousel.

1. Say goodbye to gravity (at least as we know it)​

Gravitropism is the gravitational process that directs a plant's roots to grow downward and its shoot upward. If gravity were altered to be orientated toward the North Pole, we could see plants acting strangely. (Image credit: Tim Graham via Getty)

Just how strange would the world be if it were flat?

Thing is most of them also reject Gravity.

A flat stationary earth would not need gravity. As simply being heavier than air will keep a person grounded.

Gravity has only been invented. Because if scientist are going to say the earth is a rotating water sphere. They will need something to keep the water, people, etc.. on a moving sphere. So they invent this magical "what they call force" to solve this problem.

Are you staff? If not, report me. Conspiracy theories can be discussed pro or con is my understanding. I posted about a conspiracy theory and backed up why it’s impossible to have a flat earth.

Yep see below.

Yep see below.

Isn’t this deep investment in this theory regardless of proof all connected to Biblical
Literalism? The article below says that there are many that believe this theory that aren’t connected to religious belief which I find extremely puzzling.

That and Amusement parks would of put up rides over the edge also.

You deny gravity but in the same statement describe a force dependent on mass, which is exactly what gravity describes.

Incredible!

Gravitropism is the gravitational process that directs a plant's roots to grow downward and its shoot upward.

The last time I checked, it's the soil, rain & the sun that makes plants to grow.

Really!! What about both?

One person: It's the engine that makes a car move forward by turning the wheels.
Response: No it's not. It's the driver turning the steering wheel which turns the wheels.

According to Eratosthenes' measurements, if the earth was flat then the Sun would be at a height of approximately 6500km
The distance between Alexandria and Syene, 500 stadia (approx 800km).
The angle formed by the shadow of the pole in Alexandria at noon was 7°.
Tan(7°) = 800/height, thus height = 800/Tan(7°) = 6,515.47km

That’s literally gravity.

Science defines gravity as a force. There is no outside working force that causes people to stay on the surface of the earth. Nothing is pushing down on me to keep me grounded, my own weigh does this.

This is a really funny comment, because weight is the gravitational force pushing you down and keeping you grounded.

Are globe earth believers that obtuse in their understanding of the flat earth. Again i am not on a sphere rotating and moving through an imaginary outer space. A flat earth is stationary and a plain/plane, no force is needed to keep a person attached to a non moving flat plane.

I am not pretending, i have to be glued to a rotating sphere.

If there was no force pushing you down, you would float off. When you jump in the air, you would keep going. Something brings you back down. You can call that effect of bringing you back down whatever you want. We call it gravity.

Globe earth balderdash, that article posted in the opening post proves how ignorant globe earth belioevers are about God's creation
