Think about it; when you walk out into your yard, you're walking on flat ground right? When you look out into the distance, you see a horizone line, right? Thats because the world is REALLY flat! And I have proof!

1) That horizon is the edge of the Earth. It may seem like the horizone is always moving away, but you're actually getting closer to it. It only seems to be moving because its so far away.
2) Mathmatically, if the Earth were round, then the slipperage caused by tripping would be very much in the 'bad' area, as proven by 89% of the leading scientists in the world!
3) Look at a map; maps are FLAT!!!
4) The pictures of Earth from space? They've gotta be fakes, because everyone knows that humans never REALLY went to space.
5) The Titanic sunk because they found out the truth by selling too close, and it was sunk by U-boats.
6) America didn't go across the pacific to attack the Japanese and vice versa, they actually went around Antartica south of South America and Africa. All the Pacific nations are paid of by the US government in the billions supposedly spent on a space program so they'll keep their mouths shut.

There! Ireffutable proof that the Earth is flat!

You've got the right idea, but you're a little off. The world is definitely flat, attempts by "Scientists" to prove otherwise have been ill-conceived and obscure at best. However, the world does not end when you reach the edge. Rather, you merely wind up back to the other end. Look at the maps in Final Fantasy if my explanation is too vague. The Gaia-spheric theories have just been attempts to explain this phenomenon, since "Science" refuses to acknowledge that some aspects of existence are Divine and beyond the realm of mortal comprehension.

It's called Gravity

if a tiny metal bug landed on a giant metal sphere, his world would be flat

bad example i know....

How a flat Earth casts a round shadow on the Moon is a bit hard to explain.

Wow, in my world, most shadows are two-dimensional. GO back to school, n00b.

Pride. The foulest of sins. These so-called scientists are appalled that there might be a Heavenly Being capable of creating systems beyond their comprehension, much less capabilities. So they devise an elaborate system of lies to justify their own foolish egos, and create further deceptions to provide "evidence" of them. But that's not all. They then forward this complex web to a pool of "educators" who were selected to teach after a careful filtering out ofany conservative ideals. These "liberals" then forward these lies to our impressionable youth. Our children accept this information wholly because it was given to them by adults. They then bring these lies home to their parents, who are skeptical at first. However, one can only remain Pure in a raging river of manure for so long....

You're right!

And what are the chances, that out of all the billions of possible 3d shapes, the earth would be round? Haha completely nill!
Its much more likely flat!

Your post confuses me. First off, you completely misquoted me so as to make me sound as if my explanation was equal to that of the Maker's. It is not, and I'd appreciate you constraining such heresies to your daily masturbations over Slayer guitar solos. Also, flat is not a shape. It is a characteristic, as in describing the texture of something i.e. "Her chest is really flat", or describing the sound quality of something, i.e. "Dude, I think your g-string is flat". The earth can be round and flat at the same time. That, my friend, is known as a circle. Hence, the circular reflection on the moon. Remember, FInal Fantasy games are fictional. Therefore, the world can be represented as square.

Uh huh, cute. Even if that were the case, you would still eventually get to the edge sooner or later. And I don't see anyone claiming to have found that edge yet, have you?

Or can this just be conveniently explained away as part of a government coverup?

2) Mathmatically, if the Earth were round, then the slipperage caused by tripping would be very much in the 'bad' area, as proven by 89% of the leading scientists in the world!

Do this... look at the fretboard of a guitar some time. The curve that it follows is based off a mathematical forumula using a section of a given radiused circle. The larger the circle radius, the "flatter" the fretboard seems to be. It's still based off a circle, it just appears flat because your only playing on part of it.

3) Look at a map; maps are FLAT!!!

Because they're printed on PAPER!!!

4) The pictures of Earth from space? They've gotta be fakes, because everyone knows that humans never REALLY went to space.

Until I hear a NASA scientist go on National Television and say otherwise, I'm not going to believe a word that a couple of internet conspiracy theorist nutts have to say on the matter.

5) The Titanic sunk because they found out the truth by selling too close, and it was sunk by U-boats.

Murphy's Law; Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

The titanic sunk NOT because of u-boats, it sunk the dumbass who designed it had to stand up and say "Not even God can sink this ship." Wether or not you believe in God is not the point, saying stuff like that is just ASKING for Murphy to start messing with you in a big way.

Besides, the hull of the ship was made out of a single layer of 1/4 inch thick cast iron plating. Pretty weak shit.

so they'll keep their mouths shut.

Uh huh.

There! Ireffutable proof that the Earth is flat!

There! Irrefutable proof that I am loosing my faith in humanity!

ehh no, depending on the geography of the land, mountain ranges, sea, ect the horizon may appear to differ, but if your view was unimpeeded the horizon would remain constant

89% of scientologists maby

look at globes

what about all the satelites, they can take pics to, it didnt hav to be neil armstrong with a kodac

There! Ireffutable proof that the Earth is flat!

Its actually slightly wider at the equator than at the poles due to the centripedal force caused by it spinning on its axis, but for all intence and purpose it is a sphere..but i realise this is just a parody so hahahaha.....

No.

The world is cubed.

Haha . . .. this topic is a joke right? =D

I think it is. But judging by the number of idiots in the world right now, we may never know.

No, no, no. The world is in the shape of a regular pentahedron.

Yea, the sphere is the most stable 3d shape: all matter would be pulled toward the center as much as possible; the result of this would be a mass where the surface is a constant distance from the center: A sphere.

But the Earth isn't a perfect sphere -- it's slightly oblong due to the rotation.

Yeah, neither is anything else. What's your point?

Nothing really, just putting it out there.

Due to rotation, the earth is pumpkin-like.

Actually in all seriousness the world is a triangular pyramid.

you wish, by careful annalysis of the quantum world, we can derive that the universe is infact, a hyper cube such that each entity must be of spherical form (but not neccesarily a sphere) but rather a carton like shape

In case no one can tell, this thread is a parody. Mostly making fun of some of the people in the 'Did man really land on the moon?' thread, seeing as I've pretty much completly given up on them.

Of course, NG tends to pull all types of people, most of which happen to be bored idiots IMO..........

not only is this retarded, this isnt politics... bye

Actually, the earth more of a sqished sphere and is round. Actually, it is not even a geometrical shape. Due to spinning or something, the earth is unproportionally wider at the equator than what would be expected. also, due to more spinning, tha nothing is really level. the pacific ocean is higer or lower than the atlantic...cant remeber which.

If the Earth was flat, like a pie for instance, then the acceleration of gravity would be not nearly what it is now on the flat plane and the same at the ends. Ocean currents would get screwd up because there is no longer an uneven heating of the Earth (on one face). In the process, most ocean life would die out because of the lack of detrite brought to the surface (via upwelling).

The Earth is not flat.
OWNED, lol

No, I've said before that the shape of the Earth is that of a regular pentahedron.
