Oh really? You've been to space? I didn't know. Don't tell me your proof is from physics then I know you're just hilarious.

The fact still remains that gravity does not exist, scientists don't even know what gravity is, their idea is just a theory from Isaac Newton.

All the scientific explanations seem logical but they are based on theories. None of the information is actual fact. The fact that we in Africa here fail to develop ourselves to figure things out shows we will still keep buying what other countries tell us about the universe.

Like I said I don't believe the earth is flat neither do I believe it is a sphere. It is definitely round but thats just about it. All the explanations of how the sun rotates around the earth is bull crap.

I even read one of these NASA articles that explained that over 4.5 billion years ago earth did not have an atmosphere, imagine, they claimed that the earth due to volcanic components, released components that formed the gases that make up the atmosphere. They claim that there was no life on earth and that it was a very hot planet until everything started cooling off. They said that was when life began to form.


Now the foundation of the earth's philosophy is completely wrong because as usual they are based on theories or will I say speculations. They now come up with another calculative analysis of how the earth rotates and then orbits around the sun? Without proof and again i say without proof.

Science is meant to provide logical explanation on how things work but it is not the actual basis of fact. There is still so much to discover about the universe before a conclusion can be made about anything and this is a lot of work which can take hundreds of years.

Some things are so simple but we like to look for complex solutions. When its a straight line from point a to b, science will move 360 degrees from point a to get to b.







Shut up. The Earth is shaped like a donut. I have proof. There's a magnet in the Earth that's why it pulls everything to it. The sun are pulled across the sky in a chariot by fire horses. The moon by bats. The stars are fireflies stuck to the firmament.

In a world bursting with information ignorance is a choice.

The confusion here is that; someone that can type like this cannot understand some simply applicable facts yet you make your affirm opinion with such confident......


Have you heard about mass distribution of the earth ?
How the water table of that borehole in your house was determined ?

Have you heard about gravity observation for the determination of minerals ? Those are simple comprehensible application of gravity


And how can the earth be flat ? In elementary secondary school geography, earth was taught to be sphere with proves such as; differences in time at different geographical locations, ship visibility, day and night etc....it is characterized with an imaginary lines of longitude and latitude

As a bonus for you....those imaginary line are not imaginary in actual sense........they make it possible for you to use Google map, they are also an important fact when constructing roads, bridges, navigation on sea and in air and so on


In advance geodesy, the earth shape is actually oblate spheroid........as an assignment for you go read about solar mean time

And what about my phone and a feather?

Baring air resistance, your phone and a feather will pretty much fall to the ground at the same time. This experiment has been carried out countless times with same result/outcome. You can easily find such videos on YouTube.

i should prove that China, U.S, Japan, Russia and Europe all came together to lie to us?

try dropping a nail and a feather at the same time. I can't believe the level of reasoning people have in this age.

so what happens to the fact that both the football and the small object is close to a much bigger spinning object called earth?

Did you factor that into this shabby experiment?
your smart sha but not as you think.
then how come a small magnet can overcome gravity by attracting objects to it. is it not close to a Much bigger spinning object called earth?.

so how come the earths gravity make men and every other thing stick to it but the suns gravity makes planets spin around it.

or how come gravity make the ocean stick to earth but let mosquitoes fly in the air.

can you define a magnet? If yes then why can’t a magnet attract a pinch of salt or probably a feather?

but I thought gravity is pulling it. how come gravity can be able to stick objects like cars and trains on the earth but let something like air overcome it?

if according to the theory of gravity object with mass attract other object with lesser mass. then the ball should attract other smaller objects just like he magnet does. if gravity is acting on the objects on the ball to fall down then that same gravity should also attract the object to fall off a magnet or it a mag net more powerful than than gravity?

ol, you expect humans with such little mass to spin around a huge mass like earth?

The answer is here F=GMm/r*r

If you are smart enough to crack that formula, it will provide the answer on why humans cannot spin around but stuck to earth. If you can’t then that’s not my problem, go back to school

yea of course they went to the moon in 1969 brought back a moon rock but years later it turned out to be a wood. maybe the moon is made of wood.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/6105902/Moon-rock-given-to-Holland-by-Neil-Armstrong-and-Buzz-Aldrin-is-fake.html

they also said before sending people to space they must first solve the problem of the van Allen radiation belt.

they also told you that satellites are in the thermosphere were temperature goes up to 2000°c enough to melt titanium and gold.

oga you need to stop arguing about what you don't know go and seek knowledge first.
Re: Why The Earth Surface Looks Flat by Ola17: 9:15pm On Oct 21, 2019
I’ve come to understand that ‘flat earthers’ are mostly people with trust issues(no offense).

You doubt gravity, satellites in orbit etc, dismiss science as ‘nonsense’ yet you enjoy the fruits of such painstaking discoveries. How can weather forecast, gps, Dstv etc work without satellites in space? This kind denial of the obvious weak me walahi. It has become obvious that these people aren’t trolling.

I don't know what is a magnet but I know it attracts stuffs, my problem is why will earth's gravity allow a magnet to attract an object but would not let a massive ball attract an object according to the theory of gravity. is the magnet more powerful than gravity?.

The thermosphere is between altitude 53-55miles above earth surface. The low orbit satellites are 400-1000miles above earth surface. Where do you get your info from?

there are ground based gps satellites . and TV satellites were invented and were working long before NASA claimed to have sent satellites to space.

yes I don't know but the problem you are yet to answer is why will gravity attract a 20ton object to it but leaves objects to gum to a magnet and biasedly drag object from guming to a massive football. pls explain why?.

Highlight the portion of this article that said satellites can be launched into the thermsophere.
Does that even make any sense to you?

Satellites are lunched into orbit not into the atmosphere (how can a satellite orbit in the thermosphere?)

Show us where the article said satellites are lunched into the thermosphere.
