I want to talk about the Flat Earth. Why? Well, this has been floating around in my science loving head for some time now. I have to admit, whenever I hear, read or watch Flat Earth content, I experience a flood of different emotions, ranging from amazement to sadness to anger to disbelief.

It’s not a topic that I actively search for. Do I search for the latest updates on book releases? Yes. Do I search for the latest updates on movie releases? Yes. Do I search for the latest updates on rugby and football news? Yes. Do I search for the latest updates on Flat Earth? No, because that sucker was solved a long time ago.

You see, I have 99 problems, but a Globe Earth isn’t one of them. I do however have a Flat Earth problem. Only one, you ask? Yes, only one; if you can compress them all down, just like the Slitheen’s compression fields.¹

This is the problem, pause for dramatic effect….with all of the uncountable pieces of evidence that prove we live on a planet that has achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, Flat Earthers still deny the evidence. It’s either a cover up (because there is no evidence to support a Flat Earth, which proves it’s a cover up) or everything we read or see, is a lie or fake.

In my humble understanding, the average Flat Earther will never accept a Globe Earth, because of the reasons above. That being the case; short of having some sort of mental breakdown or head injury, what would it take for me to accept a Flat Earth?

I gave this a lot of thought, because for a Flat Earther to convince me to cross to the Dark side of the Force, they would have to answer all of these questions.

For me to believe in a Flat Earth, someone please explain:

The Flat Earth Map

• Why is there no official Flat Earth map?
• How do time zones work on Flat Earth maps?
• Why do some Flat Earth maps include the dome and some don’t?

The Dome

• What is the dome made of?
• Whom built the dome?
• Why can we not see the dome?
• How was the dome installed?
• Is there any evidence to support the dome’s existence?
• Why do we not see domes on other planets?
• What are the dimensions of the dome?

Planetary Evolution

• Why is the Earth, the only planet that we have discovered, that has defied planetary evolution and not formed into a sphere?
• Why are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune, not flat?
• How have scientists misunderstood planetary evolution?
• Can Flat Earth models explain Kepler’s laws of planetary motion?
• Can Flat Earth models explain Newtonian physics?
• If the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, but the Sun orbits above the Flat Earth, what does this happen?
• Earth has less mass than Jupiter, so why does Jupiter orbit Earth, according to the Flat Earth model?

Geology

• Do tectonic plates exist on a Flat Earth?
• How old is the Earth?
• On a Flat Earth, does the Earth still have a crust, mantle, outer core or inner core?
• How are volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountains made on a Flat Earth?
• Can a Flat Earth model explain subduction, convection and continental drift?
• Using the Flat Earth model, how are Earth’s magnetic fields created?
• Can the Earth’s 15 degree per hour drift, be explained on a Flat Earth?

Lunar Evolution

• Why is the Moon not flat?
• Why are the other moons in the solar system, not flat as well?
• How was the Moon formed, in relation to the Flat Earth?
• How did the Flat Earth trap the Moon, inside the dome?
• Why does the Moon travel in perfect circles above our heads, never slowing or speeding up, but in balance with the Sun?
• How do lunar eclipses work on a Flat Earth model?
• Does the Earth need to be perpendicular, to produce it’s shadow on the Moon, during a lunar eclipse, for the Flat Earth model to work?
• Can lunar eclipses occur at different times of the day on a Flat Earth?
• How old is the Moon?

Oceanography

• How are tides caused on a Flat Earth?
• Can a Flat Earth model explain Magellan’s circumnavigation of the world?
• Can the formation of underwater mountain ranges, be explained on a Flat Earth?
• How do ocean currents work on a Flat Earth?
• How are gyres explained using the Flat Earth model?
• Using the Flat Earth model, are oceanographic moorings fake?
• Can the Flat Earth model truly explain why ships disappear below the horizon?

Stellar Evolution

• Why is the Sun not flat?
• Why are all known and observable stars in our galaxy, not flat?
• How does the Flat Earth model explain the Sun’s light rays, causing different lengths of shadows at 12pm, at different locations?
• How was the Sun formed, in relation to the Flat Earth?
• How did the Flat Earth trap the Sun, inside the dome?
• Why does the Sun travel in perfect circles above our heads, never slowing or speeding up, but in balance with the Moon?
• How do solar eclipses work on a Flat Earth model?
• How old is the Sun?
• How have scientists misunderstood stellar evolution?
• There is a model that demonstrates how seasons work on the Flat Earth. This is done by the Sun moving in different orbital planes throughout the year. Why does the Sun move like that and how does it know to move to a new orbital plane, and to move back at different times during the year?

Politics and History

• What year did people discover the Earth was flat?
• When the Earth was discovered to be flat, why did people lie about it?
• How many governments are suppressing the truth about the Flat Earth?
• What year did all of these governments decide to suppress the truth about the Flat Earth?
• Does every politician, world leader, and CEO in the world, know the truth about the Flat Earth?
• Does every teacher, pilot, engineer, and airline staff member in the world, know the truth about the Flat Earth?
• Does every employee of every space agency in the world, know the truth about the Flat Earth?
• What prevents people with the truth about the Flat Earth, going to the media with evidence?
• What do people gain from suppressing the truth about the Flat Earth?
• Are there any countries that teach the Flat Earth model in their schools, as part of their national curriculum?

Last questions

• Can the Flat Earth model explain the Coriolis Effect?
• How does the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis exist on a Flat Earth?
• How does the Flat Earth model allow for sunsets and sunrises to happen at different times around the world, according to your longitude?
• How does the Flat Earth model allow for different stars to be seen from different latitudes?
• On a Flat Earth, why can someone standing in New Zealand, not see Polaris, The North Star?
• On a Flat Earth, why can someone standing in Iceland, not see the Southern Cross?

And for the final question:

• Can someone please explain how the Flat Earth model, allows and supports the General Theory of Relativity?

And with that, I am done; and I haven’t even talked about flight paths, the precise curvature of the Earth, or Antarctica and the ice wall. If any Flat Earther can answer all of these questions, I would love to hear them. Or maybe you think I have missed some vital questions out? If you do, let me of your ideas.

Thanks once again for reading, wash your hands, and I’ll see you next week.
