Not theories per say, rather observations with many unanswered questions.

The first man to travel into "space" said the earth is as flat as a disk with upturned edges. He didn't use fish lens cameras. He's called Auguste Picard. Why aren't we taught about him?

He said he saw the sun and went past it till he hit water far above the sun. Why hasn't anyone explained what Picard saw or refute him in his lifetime? They simply waited till he died before they began telling lies
I will have to research first but this sounds DSLR more like fiction to me.

The earth is not flat, or how will you explain the "Sinking" illusion of a ship when you watch it sail the distance, how will you explain the rising and setting of the sun, how will you explain the fact that its 7pm here but 11am in Washington, how will you explain the circumnavigation (where a sailor returned to the same spot severally while sailing round the earth), how will you explain the low temperature of the North and south poles and the high temperature of the equatorial region How will you explain the lunar eclipse where the earth always have a round profile/impression on the moon And so much more

Ships seems to disappear because they have gone beyond our line of vision. When the ship disappears, use a binoculars and you'll see the ship is still there. This has been proven severally and there are documented videos showing this fact on YouTube.
All lens created are called fish eye lens, from airplane windows to cameras and drones, check them, they all have fish lens (concave on one side) this will always produce a circular feedback.

The earth is not just hanging in space, it's fixed. It has foundations that are immovable and because the sun isn't bigger than the earth like we think, the sun actually moves from the east to west and back in a circular motion.
That's why we have different time zones.


The Earth having a round impression of the Moon is nothing but an illusion. We can attest to the fact that the very best way to ascertain the real picture of anything is through the use of a lens.
Take for example, we always tend to see a road filled with water when looking at a tiled road from a far distance. However,this doesn't mean the road is filled with water as we do see.

Are other planets flat?

At least we can see some of them even with naked eye. They are not flat. There have also been pictures taking from the International Space Station showing that the earth is spherical. Earth sightings by robotic space probes and lander also show the earth is spherical. Your 'assumptions ' are based on thoughts rather than facts.

How does gravity stop ships from falling when they sail upside down or sideways up but not stop tiny birds from flying?

Gravity pulls every object towards it's centre, so a ship traveling will follow a pathway allowed by gravity even if it means staying 'upside down' from another reference point.

What kind of force keeps oceans at the bottom on the globe intact but allows humans swim on top of the oceans? Allows birds fly on top of the oceans but pulls down ships and let's them move on top of the ocean up side down

Why is the gravity selective in what it pulls and what it doesn't?

am not talking about gravity per se, I'm talking about the circumstance itself. If the earth is a sphere, those on the bottom side like Australia are up side down, their seas are upside down, their ships sail upside down etc. When you ask why this is possible, how does gravity hold a gigantic swimming pool upside down and even makes sure the waves fall downside up They say gravity. They say the mighty ships carrying thousands of containers are also held intact upside down by this same gravity but the gravity allows rain to fall upside side down and allows kites to fly upside down even allow tiny birds to fly upside down.

If really trillions of litres of water are being held upside down by a super gigantic force, I doubt the force will spare a flying bird or a soaring kite or even an airplane no matter it's altitude.
At 10,000ft below the water surface, the pressure of the sea (water) will crack the hardest bulletproof enforced glasses under 20minutes so think of the force gravity must exact from all dimensions to hold the oceans upside down. It's equivalent to an adult elephant standing on a paper. No hope of surviving. It should even collapse the lungs within 2seconds.

Secondly, when you spin a wet ball, the water flies away from it in all directions irrespective of gravity so why aren't the oceans spinning away from our ball shaped spinning earth?
Some people can't be upside down with a monstrous gravity holding them in place. It cant work.

the continent's of the world are just a quarter of the world, water is three-quater. Water surrounds this continents then an ice wall surrounds the waters. Above, there is a firmament which nothing can penetrate.

Just like Auguste Picarde said, the earth has upturned edges, the upturned edges are now known as the ice walls of Antarctica so thinking of what lies beyond the wall? You cant find out for these reasons:

i. Think of the wall like the ice wall in Game of Thrones which is so powerful and huge, it will take more than the flood of Noah to flood it over. So if I were you, I won't even think of adventuring beyond the wall which you cant sef.
I
ii. Another reason is reason is you need special permit to go to antarctica (the wall) which no one will give you and the points which are closest to human dwellings are guarded by huge ships which wont allow anyone pass without authorisation.

Satellites move back and forth above the Earth exactly how the creator programmed it.

Why do all the explored planets look like the earth (deserts of rocks and sand) Why haven't the noticeable different planets like Neptune been explored when there are satellites who have even left our solar system exploring the outer space? Nowhere to shoot the movie?


A quick question for you, why does NASA always feed us computer generated images of the earth, space, planets etc and not the real thing?

There's an actual firmament sealing us in here. I added an illustration for good effect. Please note that nobody has an actual photo because we dont have the resources to go up there and take first hand pictures and those who do are bent on lying to us with computer generated images.

This guy is a classic example of what studying science through religious dogma (the Bible in this case) does to the brain.

Science is meant to be studied through nature, not through any religious text.

Flat-earth hypothesis is an old issue that can be traced back to some thousands of years in the past, and it has since been debunked by advances made in classical physics a couple of centuries ago.

From the ancient period (during the dark ages of science) when flat-earth hypothesis was prevalent up to this moment, no single application or tech has been built on this ludicrous hypothesis.

There are myriads of applications and technologies built on the concepts of heliocentric model, spherical shape of the earth and related principles.

You can't find any top or brilliant scientist supporting the archaic flat-earth hypothesis and geocentric model.

Only those with poor knowledge of science and deep distrust for science support such a silly hypothesis.

Yet, there's no single publication about flat-hypothesis (that details experiments and evidence in support of the hypothesis) in a top journal.

Also, there's no single application of and tech built on the hypothesis.

Flat-earth hypothesis and geocentric model are simply tripe.

Your first theory make sense but the second theory is out of it entirely because for interplanetary travel some form of technology will be needed, our current technological revolution started about 300 or so years ago!
The first theory do make sense because the presence of life, in whatever form but most likely cellular or perhaps some lower plant forms, could have existed on Venus before runaway greenhouse effect exterminated the lives!

All your theories and "long posts" are totally flawed, you believe In a " flat earth" but you can't see the mount Everest from where you are even if you use the James Webb space telescope. You believe in a "flat earth" but when you look in the distance unobstructed, it'll seem as if the sky is "Touching" the earth, When you go to a beach and watch the sun set, it seems like the sun is actually falling on the earth.

Both hypothesis are well under investigations. The first like you said is the more probable, but we can never rule out the second. these are things that may are expected to have taken place millions of years ago, perhaps some form of advanced civilization.

Though personally I strongly doubt the existence of any life form outside Earth.

I understand you are exercising your sense of reasoning and I sincerely appreciate it.

For your question, you really need to understand the concept of gravity especially from quantum mechanical principles because thosethings you mentioned like water from a spinning ball is eplained by the theory. Even classical physics show that through centripetal and centrifugal forces which are subject to gravity.
