The idea of a flat earth is to make everyone believe that everything is flat, which means there are no tall mountains to climb, no wide oceans to explore, and no tall objects like tall buildings to marvel at. It also means that everything is the same size, which means that no matter what part of the world you are in, everything looks the same.
A Theory of the Flat Earth
Since the dawn of time, humanity has struggled with how to explain strange phenomena like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the paths of planets in our solar system, and the windy wind patterns on Earth’s surface.
The flat earth theory has been around for centuries, and it’s supposed truth is pretty much accepted by nearly all educated people. In fact, no matter what the news says, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. But is this widely-held belief actually true? Or is it a hoax?
For thousands of years, humans have been obsessed with the idea of a flat Earth. It was not until the 18th century that people started seeing this as a reality. At that time, most people believed that the Earth was a massive sphere. The idea was not a new one for the ancients, as a survey of ancient civilizations shows. For instance, a 5,000-year-old clay tablet from Mesopotamia called the Al-Khaledi Table lists a flat Earth with a flat landmass and a flat sky. Even the ancient Greeks knew that the Earth was flat. They associated the Earth with the heavens and called it “our mother.”
It is no secret that the world is round. But you might not know that the Earth is actually shaped like a flat disc. If it were not, you would experience all sorts of Earthly problems, including but not limited to:
- The Earth would not actually orbit the Sun. Instead, it would be some kind of spinning object that we do not understand.
- The oceans would tilt up and away from the North and South Poles, and we would be trapped inside an endless sea of water.
- We would all be subject to some kind of gravitational ‘force’ that causes us to sink into the Earth and then pops us back up on the other side.
- Earthquakes would not be caused by the shifting
So, What Would Really Happen If the Earth Were Flat?
- We would not feel the sensation of spinning. If we lived on a flat earth, we’d be living upside-down. Gravity wouldn’t work as to how it is supposed to be.
- The sun would rise in the west or would rise and set in the same place every day. Or, the sun would rise and set in different places every day
- Seasons would disappear. The climate could be very different. Storms could be a lot more extreme
- The universe will be visible at night. If we lived on a flat earth, we’d be able to see the entire earth and the sun and the stars and everything in the universe.
- No curvature of the horizon. In light of recent events, it’s time to look at the world from a different perspective. If you’ve been following along with the recent viral Flat Earth evidence, you know that the main argument for a flat earth is the lack of curvature. That said, a flat earth would have a profound effect on our everyday lives.
Conclusion:
What will happen if the earth is flat? Let’s consider the following: A flat earth would mean the sky is the limit. No more days, nights, months, seasons, rain, snow, wind, dust, pollution, crime, terrorism, pain, disease, war, famine, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, or volcanoes. Just sky. No more constraining limits on our imagination, creativity, and innovation. If the world were flat, we would have to see them all. We would have to see them all.
In conclusion, if we really do live on a flat, spinning disk of a planet, we need to change the way we think about the way we think.
