The Earth is flat?

Well a friend showed me this site:

 

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php

 

Who apparently still think the earth is flat....

 

Here is part of their FAQ:

Q: "What about satellites? How do they orbit the Earth?" 

A: Since sustained spaceflight is not possible, satellites can't orbit the Earth. The signals we supposedly receive from them are either broadcast from towers or any number of possible pseudolites. However, temporary space-flight is possible.

Q: "What about gravity?" 

A: Dark Energy accelerates the Earth and all celestial bodies in the universe at 9.8m/s2. This is commonly known as Universal Acceleration, which produces the same effect as gravity. General relativity uses this concept to explain the equivalence between proper acceleration and gravity.

Q: "NASA and other world space agencies have pictures of the Earth from space, and in those pictures the Earth is clearly a globe; in this day and age, hasn't it been proven beyond any doubt that the Earth is round?"

A: NASA and the rest of the world's space agencies who claim to have been to space are involved in a Conspiracy to keep the shape of the Earth hidden. The pictures are faked using simple imaging software.

Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?" 

A: NASA did not send rockets into space; instead, they spent a fraction of their funding on developing increasingly advanced computers and imaging software to cover their lies.

 

And get this, they also have a MAP.

Go to their site if you you want to hear more blasphemy.

Personally I think this is the best out of the entire FAQ:

Also this...

 

 

"Dark Energy accelerates the Earth and all celestial bodies in the universe at 9.8m/s2. This is commonly known as Universal Acceleration"

 

No it is not Universal Acceleration...

 

That is the average gravitational acceleration for this planet (actually a very rough estimate for it at the planet surface. We just ignore the differences for flying objects within our atmosphere.)

 

This variable will be different for other celestial bodies.

 

Those people must have been sleeping in College Physics 1.

I WANT TO STAB YOU ALL THE ENTIRE SITE IS FUCKING SATIRE OH MY FUCKING GOD I HATE YOU ALL THE SITE IS A JOKE GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

 

Where do you see that sir?

 

General / this forum

 

Q: "Is this site for real?"

 

A: This site is real. There are members who seriously believe the Earth is flat. However, there are also members who do not.

 

Q: "Why do you guys believe the Earth is flat?"

 

A: Well, it looks that way up close. In our local frame of reference, it appears to take a flat shape, ignoring obvious hills and valleys. Also, Samuel Rowbotham et al. performed a variety of experiments over a period of several years that show it must be flat. They are all explained in his book, which is linked at the top of this article.
