The Earth's Shape: Did you know?

[Snakepit]

Did you know that there are still people who claim the earth is flat? I thought the Flat Earth Society kinda died out but I guess it's still going strong.

If you have some spare time, read about it. I find reading about theories such as this to be interesting, you may too.

Everyone knows that the Earth is a dodecahedron.

If you like this then you would most-likely like reading about Darwin's Theory.

Earth is a square!

Hahahahaha I can't even believe this site.

I mean look at the Q&A!

Q: "The government could not pull off the conspiracy successfully".

A: Actually, they could.

-And-

Q: "If you're not sure about the motive, why do you say there is a conspiracy?"

A: Well it's quite simple really; if the earth is in fact flat, then the governments must be lying when they say it isn't.

Have you been reading up on your ancient symbology? :3

Also: That HAS to be a troll page.

Srsly: Q: "Why does gravity vary with altitude?"

A: The moon and stars have a slight gravitational pull.

If the moon and stars were 32 miles in diameter, and they're trying to use the theory of general relativity to back of their claims, then the moon and stars would have smashed into earth already. The thing about gravitational pull on satellites is that they're not really floating. They're at a constant free-fall, that's why gravity and a round earth works. If they claim gravity doesn't exist, then they'd be throwing half of their argument out the window. Gravity has already been proven to exist by the simple existence of black holes as well.

Also:

Q: Follow-up to previous question: "How is it that the Earth does not have a gravitational pull, but stars and the moon do?"

A: This argument is a non-sequitur. You might as well ask, "How is it that snakes do not have legs, but dogs and cats do?" Snakes are not dogs or cats. The Earth is not a star or the moon. It doesn't follow that each must have exactly the properties of the others, and no more.

The hell? Are they serious?

Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

A: NASA did not send rockets into space; instead, they spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software to cover their lies.

That's my favorite one xD

Q: "What's underneath the Earth?" aka "What's on the bottom?" aka "What's on the other side?"

A: This is unknown. Some believe it to be just rocks, while others believe the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle.

Haha an Ice Wall, what an idiot... He thinks all those people are going to cover up for everything... I'm only 11, and I see multiple faults in this conspiracy XD
