Is the earth really flat after all? This planet/solar system thing just a hoax??
Question:
Answer:
It appears curved, but the Earth has a flat surface existing in space curved by the gravitational field existing due to the mass of the Earth.
it is flat, i fell off the edge when i went on my holidays and banged my head
Yeah, it is. Hollywood is in charge, and makes up all that stuff about orbits and moons and stuff.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you should be seeing a lot of physical evidence that contradicts the concept of your question.
No,the earth is not flat.The earth is indeed round.No,this planet/solar system is not a hoax.
No, the photographs of the earth should be enough to satisfy you. If you want to try it yourself though, consider travelling in the same direction until you arrive back home.
OR attach a camera on a timer to a weather baloon, like some students did last week to take photos of the earth.
OR go to a very high place (skyscraper, mountain) and you can see the curvature of the earth, especially over the sea.
I assume you're joking, but since there really are people who still believe the earth is flat, you never know...
No, the earth is not flat. I have seen the curvature of the earth myself, and you can too (just go up in an airplane above about 20,000 feet). There are numerous other proofs that the earth is round, going all the way back to ancient greece when aristarchus proved the earth was round by a simple experiment using sticks at two different locations whose shadows were measured at the same time.
Not to mention all of the pictures of the spherical earth we have from space...:)
no the earth is not flat.the gravitational force pulling on the earth from the sun makes it round.thats why the planets aren't wierd shapes
Dude, it's oblate spheroid...
Oh, yeh, and Galileo 400 years ago started the hoax and managed to persuade all his astronomy buddies, Kepler, Brahe etc to go along with it, getting poor old Kepler to make up mathematical niceties about planetary motions.
Then they got the next generation of scientists to go along with the hoax, and the next.
Finally, all the astronauts were paid handsome sums of money to fake pictures of the Earth, and to lie about what they saw for the rest of their lives.
That would make a good movie, but would not be very convincing, I fear.
Anyway, you can't be serious, otherwise I would suggest your getting serious psychiatric help.
no dear,
it is not flat, all physical evidences confirms this
yes the world is flat with dimentional shifts! ha ha ha hehehe!
Simply go to the seaside and look out to sea and you will notice the sky curves. There seems to be a line at the back of the sea, but you will never reach this line. It gets further away as you get closer.
Look at my answer on,"can the universe be explained with out god?"That'll explain everything.
Good one! Yeah, the Earth IS round!! Have u been able to c Texas from Tampa? No, because the Earth is round! We have the privilege of space travel & satellites to prove that the Earth is indeed round.
no its most definitely not a hoax. there are many facts that prove this to be true but ill just give u one example picture being at the ocean, u see a ship coming in the distance, its hard with ships today, but think of those huge sailing ships from history, as u see coming, u first see the tips of the sails, it doesnt all appear at once, this shows that the ship is coming up and around something, not just straight across + technically, if the earth was flat, u should be able to see across the ocean on a clear day, or at least see a lot farther than u actually can
There's definitely a hoax. Apparently it's seeing how many gullible people there are on Yahoo.
Going the moon landing hoax people one better are you?
man you are talking as if you are 3000 years back.WAKE UP YOU ARE IN THE 21 ST CENTUARY.IT HAS ALL BEEN PROVED!!
