They idocy went full circle. Crazy shit.

*went full spherical

An ice ball the size of Jupiter dotted with small little flat earths would have a surface gravity of at least 19m/s², about double the measured gravity of Earth. The real value would likely be higher, as surface ice compresses the ice below it.

Otherwise a very based theory, can't think of anything else wrong with it

I would like to throw in the possibility, that the ball could accelerate downwards relative to the habitable part.

so you're saying the theory remains undisproven? woa... O_o

Unless science got the gravitational constant wrong due to assuming the earth is small.

Could use more elephants and turtles

[-] Sasha 2 points 2 months ago

The gravitational constant is famously hard to measure, so I can get behind this.

So the earth is round after all, I knew it!

There would be so much graffiti on the wall around the oceans.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Would there be? Not too many people go all the way to the south pole, most who do are scientists. Not the likely type to do graffiti.

So a flat-earther who was a globe-earther at the same time? Wild

this looks like earth after global floods and an ice age

I used to know a guy and this was exactly what he believed

LHS 1140 b moment

I really like this theory, makes me dream of what could be, maybe somewhere far away...

Imagine, a super cool and actually interesting world with super cool landscapes and large rocky ooverhangs and super cool peeps building houses out of sustainable materials into large trees and connecting them with bridges and sitting at a bonfire explaining what wonders they think about and a world with actual open minds not focussed on susteining their life, but improving their overall wellbeing, the wellbeing of their communities, their entire race and their infrastructure while still being beautifully sustainable.

This is what i dream of. And then I get that tingly beautiful feeling, like when you come up with that one perfect solution for your coding problem. And then I see that I am still here, with mostly cool people, and also some big rich asses who don't wanna share cuz they don't care
