Could the Earth we live on be flat?

I've been researching flat Earth for years, and I say "yes." There is an excellent chance that all of us have been lied to for our entire lives about the vary ground we walk on. I am not smart, but there is much physical evidence that would suggest that we have been lied to for centuries about the shape of the Earth, and reality in general.

You must do your own research and stop believing what you were taught at an age where you still believed in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.

The most important function of science is the ability to describe and understand and predict phenomena with accuracy.

The heliocentric model with globe planets does all of these things.

Flat earth serves none of these purposes.

@Muthafukajones Flat-Earthery certainly serves no logical questioning or purpose itself, so perhaps the question is why some people are so determined to push it.

It does look as if a few at least tie it into mystery "conspiracies" they imagine have existed for the last few hundred years!

@Muthafukajones The flat and motionless Earth provides better predictions than the ludicrous heliocentric model.

@TBIman what does it predict better than the heliocentric model?
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Muthafukajones I'm unsure off the top of my head. What does the heliocentric model predict better than the geocentric model?
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
@TBIman Everything.

Seasons
Precession of equinox
Star and planet and moon alignments
Length of day and night

Many many things.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Muthafukajones All of that is explained in the flat and stationary model as well, if not better. Look into it.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
@TBIman it is not explained rationally in the flat earth model.

You can say it does a million times. It will not make it so. I don’t know what your purpose is in spreading disinformation but you will not succeed. The world has been known to be a globe for almost 5000 years.


What’s the real reason you want to say otherwise?
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Muthafukajones Nothing is explained rationally in the Heliocentric ball model. No one knows what the world is to this day, let alone 5,000 years ago. Perhaps you are not aware that people found out the truth of this world back in 2014, and we have been trying our best to enlighten everyone about this deception. I don't know you, but you seem to believe that all of us live on a huge pear rocket moving at high velocity throughout an infinite void. May I ask, however did you come up with such an outlandish story? Or are you just repeating what someone told you long ago? I hope that you aren't just some parrot and have more than words to back up your claim?
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
@TBIman the flat earth model does not explain or predict natural phenomena.

The importance of science is not the inherent truth in anything but its power to predict phenomena.

I think where you are struggling is with the idea of absolute truth.. how do we know what we know we know… not relevant or practical in science. Science is for explaining and predicting natural phenomena with mathematical accuracy and certainty.
TBIman · 41-45, M
@Muthafukajones Please tell me exactly what the flat Earth model fails to predict that the heliocentric model does. I would like to know if I've been spreading disinformation and lies all over the internet for years at this point.

Thanks 😀

@TBIman

Sun rise and sun set times
Tides
Seasons
Navigation
Astronomical phenomena
Apparent time
Precession of equinoxes

@Muthafukajones You want me to give you answers to how all of those things work in a flat, and stationary model? First of all, there are perfectly reasonable explanations for everything on your list. I however, have a brain injury which prevents me from typing with any type of speed, or accuracy. Therefore I must ask you to find the answers yourself. The answers are out there I promise you. If you really truly cared you would find the answers yourself. But you are probably a troll looking to waste my time. Time is the [u]only[/u] thing that I have in abundance.

Good luck in finding the answers to whatever it is that you are looking for ☮️
