Flat earth Definition and 13 Threads

A flatearther sent this to me a few months ago. Dude actually thought this... "project" would convince me. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories at all, but my knowledge of science is very, very modest, so I can't personally scrutinize it properly. Would anyone be kind enough to help? EDIT...

I've created an excel spreadsheet with the given model in addition to calculating radius of the layer by subtracting depth from 6371. I've calculated Zf. I've also found what I think is vs by doing alpha * (radius column/6371), but that could be wrong. I know I need to find where 20/6371 =...

Hi everyone, I work at a small high school that does one-on-one teaching with students who often have some kind of attention related learning difficulty or have trouble in a large classroom. The physics and chemistry courses I have been teaching have very inadequate lab sections and we have very...

I want to demonstrate to flat earthers that water does indeed stick to a ball. If we want to do a scale model of the earth, at which radius will gravity overcome the surface tension?

If I were on an infinitely flat plane and had an infinitely powerful telescope, could i see another person through that telescope standing on that same plane billions of miles away? is it true that the horizon would never block the telescopes view of the other person even though he is billions...

Homework Statement Hey guys, I was just wondering how do the beliefs of the Flat Earth Society defy against modern day physics? I'm doing a discussion board post for my physics class. I know they strictly do not believe in gravity but what else do they do against? For example about Newton's...

Sound intensity on a "flat earth" Homework Statement Consider a flat Earth with an atmosphere that descreases in density as altitude increases such that rho = rho0e-h/H where rho nought is the density of air at zero altitude and H is a constant known as the "scale height". Assume the bulk...

Why did people think the Earth was flat?

Ohh is this a joke? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society http://theflatEarth'society.org/forum// They even use physics theories to "prove" that Earth is flat. Comments? -link
