why does the edge of a circle get flatter, the further you zoom into it?
draw a circle in paint or on a piece of paper, then zoom in really far to the any part of the edge. why does it look flatter the further you zoom into it?
Do you believe in circumnavigation?
Curious because many ships are believed to circumnavigate the globe each year. Which, if you suppose a flat earth, wouldn’t you fall off (or ice wall, whatever)?
Question bout planes
How is it a 787-9 travelling from Seoul- Vancouver takes 13 hours and a 787-9 travelling from Sydney to Santiago only takes 11 hours. Surely if you don’t trust the FlightRadar24 and think the southern flight takes a special route, why wouldn’t the northern flight do the same? Since airliners are always stingy about flight time. And no don’t say jet streams, because both travel through it at similar times and speeds and they don’t affect a flight that much if they are almost doing the exact same...
Sun on the South of the antartica
If the Earth is flat and the Sun is the thing that spin around us, hows possible to look to the South and still see the Sun in antartica? As if antartica is localized in the "border" of the Earth isnt it supposed to be only the barrier and the void looking to the South?
Is space real?
On many FE forums and such, I see them use quotations surrounding space. Does this suggest that space is not real or what is space that differs from what we’re told?
What is the length of the equator?
The distance from the north pole to the equator is 10 000 km. So this would make the length of the equator 10 000 * 2 * pi = 62832 km
On the other hand, actual the length of the equator is 40 000 km. (The "spinning 1000 miles/hour at the equator" argument is based on this value).
So what is the real length of the equator?...
Clockwise vs counter clockwise star rotation

One is the clockwise rotation of the Orion constellation (one the most famous one and easy to see) why does it rotate clockwise in one hemisphere and counterclockwise on the other? ...
Can you explain how the lunar eclipse works without using sources from your wiki?
I know you guys use your own wiki to prove shit. What even is #wiki-bot ?
Tangential question: What do flat earthers believe about the moon/space travel?
Just wondering if there's any consensus on a few things:
Is the moon flat/round?
Have we been to space/moon?...
What shape is flat earth?
Is it an ellipse, circle? Is it an infinite plane? A finite plane? Are there any maps of it? Which maps are correct?
Flat earth question
If the earth is flat, and it's a disc shape, with a finite diameter it has to have an edge. Do we know how it looks? Or where it is? And what is outside of it
Edit: I don't imagine it any way I just saw maps from flat earthers that show a circle, and it has edges. I want to know how they look cuz they're intriguing to me...
What are the other planet’s shape if the earth is flat?
Recently bought a telescope and have been using it frequently, every planet that ive observed looks like a globe
Question but also I’m intrigued
I been seeing a lot of gravity post in this sub and i question ??? Is gravity real or is it something else that we are unaware of ( like air pressure or something) also this applies to this plane of existence (flat-earth). I’m not really a space guru so don’t splatter me but “if the earth/plane of existence is flat” (follow me here) “if the earth is a globe and all the scientis stuff about gravity and us flying in space is half fake 👀 (stay with me) with all that being said ( I hope u understand) earths flat the scientis stuff is not true then wouldn’t are whole reality be reset in terms of understanding?? Like if gravity is not what they say or earth really isn’t flying in space then what’s really going on??
Like imagine if flat earth is really just 1 piece to the puzzle like 1% of the real thing and what’s really going on. I’m a deep thinker so I’m just wondering 💭🤔🧐 https://tenor.com/view/messenger-of-the-most-high-gif-23149027...
Millions of people involved
Reviewing some of the evidence in here I can’t lie the arguments are pretty compelling. The one thing I can’t wrap my head around is the sheer number of people that would be wrapped up in all of this. NASA has how many employees? How many other space agencies in the world are there? How many universities teach astrophysics? How many elites of all these other countries that have signed the Antarctic treaty are involved? This has to include millions and millions of people. Does FE suggest that all...
