Epsilon 5 Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 The Earth is flat! Man, I almost fell off my chair laughing
Soback Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 Yeah, there's even a flat earth society. They believe that the earth is flat and have meetings and clubs and such. Weird.
Soback Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 But, I can disprove that idea very easily. As a pilot I know about navigation, and guess what, the planes don't take a direct route from NY to Europe, they actually *bend* their course towards the northern pole because of the roundness of the Earth, and it would take less time (distance) to travel from North America to Europe if you are closer to the pole as upposed taking a course that would be closer to the equator (more distance/time). As you can see the picture of their flat Earth, taking a course along the northern pole (toward greenland)is unnecesarily bending a direct route and would actually make the trip longer, so therefore their theory doesn't work.

You are just part of this stupid conspiracy to make us believe that the Earth isn't flat!!
Guest MIKE113 Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 Look up "crackpot" in the dictionary and it should say "see Charles K. Johnson"
Soback Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 What really got me thinking is intercontinental missles. I couldn't figure out how they would get from continent to continent if Earth wouldn't be flat (don't know much about balistics), but they made perfect sence if the Earth would be flat, hmmm... interesting. Also, I was thinking, what if Earth IS flat, and that flat Earth is a pitri dish, and we are all a bunch of microbes that someone is studying in that pitri dish.

Kartoffel Posted June 14, 2002 Report Posted June 14, 2002 Hey SC, make a mod for BCM where the earth is flat.
