8 ways life would get weird on a flat Earth

[trophy33]

I wonder what they did before gravity was invented

I wonder what they breathed before air was invented.

I wonder what they breathed before air was invented.

Dunno, you'll have to ask God

 

[Jipsah]

Because of it's weight.

What does weight have to do with anything? Why should something heavy fall?

I wonder what they did before gravity was invented

That's like asking where was the sun before God created it. Gravity exists because God created it, whether you believe it was a good idea or not.

 

[Jipsah]

Dunno, you'll have to ask God

As you'll have to ask him why He saw fit to create gravity. Maybe it was a mistake and if you ask Him nicely He'll fix it.

 

[Jipsah]

I wonder what they did before gravity was invented

Gravity was invented about the same time light was.

Gravity was invented about the same time light was.

Would that be light bulbs ?

Don't worry folks this over zoomed in spud is not going hit earth ever

Asteroid chunks from NASA deflection test may hit Earth in 10 years

Chunks of asteroid from NASA's DART mission could hit Earth in the next decade, new research suggests. The debris poses no threat to our planet, but it could create a new meteor shower.

Yeah, God said "Let there be light bulbs!"

God said 'let there be two lights set in the firmament'. Don't encourage him @Strong in Him.

Hey, that old boy is almost talented enough to play in a cover band in a bar here in Nashville. He'd want to keep his day job, though.

8 ways life would get weird on a flat Earth​

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

www.livescience.com

How ridiculous these 8 ways are.

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

No such thing as Gravity

2. It would certainly clear the atmosphere​

Which is the firmament earths protective dome

3. Cloudy with a chance of sideways rain​

​

4. We would all get lost​

Compasses work perfectly well on a flat earth

5. Some journeys would take forever​

I don't see how, in fact it would be quite the opposite

6. No more auroras and we'd all be roasted​

Why -The earth is protected by the firmament.

7. We'd all have to share the same night sky​

we do now

8. Hurricanes would be a thing of the past​

Again I can't see how

I’ve cautioned you about the moral peril of accusing NASA and others of dishonesty, particularly since, as I have demonstrated, there are approaches to believing in a flat Earth that are not incompatible with space travel.

Whether you believe the earth to be a flat disc or a globe, gravity is just the name we give to what holds us on to the earth.

2. It would certainly clear the atmosphere​

Which is the firmament earths protective dome

No, the atmosphere consists of gases like oxygen and nitrogen.

3. Cloudy with a chance of sideways rain​

​

Well it gets cloudy whatever shape you believe the earth to be, and if the wind is strong enough, the rain can be almost horizontal.

7. We'd all have to share the same night sky​

we do now

No we don't. Can you see the constellation known as The Southern Cross from your home in South Wales? Can people living in Australia or New Zealand see the constellation variously known as the Plough, the Great Bear, and Ursa Major?

This is a bit of an old post of mine you are quoting from

Sorry about that, I was confused regarding the date.

 

[Apple Sky]

No, the atmosphere consists of gases like oxygen and nitrogen.

Yes but what stops these gases from escaping into your supposed space ?

No we don't. Can you see the constellation known as The Southern Cross from your home in South Wales? Can people living in Australia or New Zealand see the constellation variously known as the Plough, the Great Bear, and Ursa Major?

This is called the Coriolis effect which has been explained, but this doesn't mean that we don't all share the same night sky.

 

[The Liturgist]

Yes but what stops these gases from escaping into your supposed space ?

Hydrogen and helium do escape into space. The other gases do not escape because of their weight (which is why a balloon must be filled with hydrogen or helium or hot air in order to float, and to reach greater altitudes, only sealed hydrogen and helium balloons work.

Have you ever been in the mountains, where the air is thin?

 

[The Liturgist]

This is called the Coriolis effect which has been explained, but this doesn't mean that we don't all share the same night sky.

You must be thinking of something else - the Coriolis effect could not apply to a stationary firmament.

Also I would note that it is intellectually untenable to cherry pick from classical physics in defense of a Flat Earth since the models of classical physics, which are co-dependent upon each other mathematically, require a round Earth.

There are approaches, as I told you, to reconciling flat Earth with what we can observe, but they require new physics. And I gave you an example of such a model.
