These guys think so, this forum is full of hilarious threads and arguments.

(Repost, I know, but I think more people need to see this!)

Shit just got real

I doubt, considering the ever reliable interwebs states the organisation was formed in 1956, and has legit meetings and interviews with press etc. If a troll, my mind is blown.

Giving people a link like this... Is like giving someone a link to NS during the summer months and telling them to make sentence of it.

Hardly, whilst they are both full of hilarious threads and arguments, Flat Earth Society is a forum even more people can relate to and be humoured by. Share the comedy.

all i am trying to say is that this is so much information. Its kinda hard to digest it all in one sitting. this would take months to even comprehend and copious amounts of marijuana to say the least.

the world isn't flat but string theory proposes (if I am not ignorant in my research) that spacetime is actually on a 2-d plane. so yes, the world is flat? lol

I thought this thread was going to be about globalization not the world actually being flat. Both though are controversial, but I feel Thomas Friedman may be a little less crazy (most people on NS probably don't know who he is but I don't care).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle

In a larger and more speculative sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two-dimensional information structure "painted" on the cosmological horizon, such that the three dimensions we observe are only an effective description at macroscopic scales and at low energies. Cosmological holography has not been made mathematically precise, partly because the cosmological horizon has a finite area and grows with time.[4][5]

I know its wikipedia...but it's still an interesting concept. lol @ me responding seriously

the first thread i clicked on was a guy asking for proof from believers that the world was in fact flat.


The first response?
"Looks flat to me."
