8 ways life would get weird on a flat Earth

There are no high mountains in Wales

Wales is known for its high mountains.

Most of Wales is mountainous. Snowdonia (Welsh: Eryri) in the northwest has the highest mountains, with Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) at 1,085 m (3,560 ft) being the highest peak.

This is the only forum i have ever been on where brain cells literally leak out on a near daily basis.

3500 feet is a hill. A fit person, man or woman, can make it up such a a hill in just 2 to 3 hours. A real fit man can run up a 6 mile trail up a 3500 foot hill in just one hour.

My neighbor who weighed 200 pounds made it 4 miles and 3200 feet elevation gain in 4 hours.. having only gotten used to 5 miles on flat ground...was in a wheel chair the year prior due to 180bpm hear rate and fainting all the time. I took my chances pushing her a bit. A year later she made it in 2 hours 45 minutes.


If you have ice on top year round or its not possible to carve a trail on it. Yeah. Its a mountain. Especially if the base of it starts at 3500 feet or so. Air is thinner.. takes longer..

So when someone states to me;
'You don't post anything that is worth knowing'
Is this not insulting ?

So why did you say it to me first?

Mine wasn't insulting yours was.

Good grief.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Strong in Him]

Mine wasn't insulting yours was.

I beg to differ.
a) They were directed to me and I'm telling you they were an insult.
b) the words were almost the same, and they came from you first.
c) you then repeated them.

@Strong in Him One of these days you might post something that is useful & worth knowing.

@Strong in Him See, two more posts again which say nothing of importance.

Are you trying to deflect attention from my statement that your own words - the earth is a flat disc and the deepest hole ever dug was over 40,000 feet deep - are contradictory and cannot both be true?

It was Newton who told us why an apple falls from the sky

Explain to me what gravity really is.

How does gravity stop the stop the seas from being flung into your supposed space on your supposed spinning ball ?

The only answer they have is, 'it's gravity.' It's like Gravity is there god

Yes it was Newton. Gravity, as I have said before, is the name given to the force that gives things weight, causing them to stay on the earth. Gravity stops the water of the seas being flung off into space in the same way that it prevents you and me being flung off into space - it gives water weight so that it is attracted to the earth. That doesn't make gravity a "god", any more than weight or density are gods.

Yes they can, for instance we don't know how deep the flat disc shaped earth goes.
We don't even know if we have an underworld but by this pic we can get a good idea

How does this work on a ball ?

Easily, gravity pushes everything to the center of the "ball". From all "sides", simultaneously.

You have been told and explained this many times, though. Is it a memory or a comprehension problem?

 

[Strong in Him]

Yes they can, for instance we don't know how deep the flat disc shaped earth goes.

If something is more than 40,000 feet deep, it cannot be a flat disc. Look at a CD; that's not even 40 mm deep.

As I've said before, pile newspapers up until they are 40 feet high. Draw a circle on the top sheet, now cut it out, through all 40 feet worth of newspapers.
What shape are you left with?
If you wanted the resulting shape to resemble a circle, you would have to make it as high as it was deep. So on top of a 40-foot stack of papers, draw a 40-foot wide circle. Now cut that out. Is that a flat disc?

Now multiply that by 1,000.

Not in my wildest imagination can I envision this.

Because you still do not understand (or do not want to understand) what gravity is - its a curved space, or better said, its consequence.

Earth curves space all around itself and the curved space pushes on the surface of the Earth, similarly to water pushing you from all sides when you are diving.

It's not good rolling your eyes; if you want to prove me wrong, do what I suggest and post the results.
I'm guessing you won't.

I may not understand what gravity is but I do know that water always finds its own level, so for gravity to hold all the seas on a ball is just impossible & laughable.

It's not impossible, it's how it is.
It would help if you tried to understand how it is so, rather than denying it.

Thats what happens when you know and focus on only one thing. One isolated principle (water seeking its level under gravity and in small scales, like in a glass or in a pool) will not give you the whole picture of the reality.

Right again, as I don't even know what results your talking about as you've post so much (& don't take this the wrong way) silliness.
