r/flatearth

and it was mainly just to see what flat earth was saying about it. his response is as follows:

"this is fake, the live stream isn't real and whatever you think you were watching was just AI. We dont and never have jad the technology needed to get to the moon and no one can get past the firmament anyway..."

I am not surprised in the slightest at his response to be honest.

Artemis did not hit the dome, nor the sun, went around the moon (and not through it). So flat earth movement is officially over.

Very easy to do and costs nothing and takes very little effort.

If you don’t put any effort into proving that the world is flat then you don’t really believe it’s flat.

That’s why there are no actual flat earthers, none of them will actually try to prove it in real life experiments themselves.

The soundstage didnt get the memo, witch is the real picture then ?

Apollo from 1968 or the new one ?

Make the Earth great again =D

Instead of round Earth in flat space, why not have flat Earth in round space?

It's not even that big of a stretch - we live in a curved space-time anyways. And thanks to Einstein, all physics work in curved space-times just fine.

I plotted the Artemis trajectory as a "proof" that I am not just making it up (picture 2).

TL;DR: It's just a coordinate transformation of normal space to spherical coordinates with a logarithmic radial dimension. It is silly, just an exercise in weird maths, but it works. Get a friendly physicist to explain it, if you don't trust me 😀

Some features:

• The Universe is a tall cylinder
• Sun and moon are the same size: about 60km wide.
• Astronauts on the Moon would be just around 3cm tall.
• Stars are 3 times further than the Sun and reaaally tiny (as they should).
• If you went to Australia, you would be elongated. If you stood on the South pole, you would wrap around the whole disc.
• At the edge, there is a singularity. But space can also be extended beyond the edge to repeat itself (see image 3).
• Ships still disappear below horizons. It's not because Earth curves down, but because light curves up (image 4). The result is the same.

EDIT: I made a GitHub repo for the model. Improvements and stars are welcome 🤣

The "I used to be a cosmology and astrophysics" one (not, "I used to be a cosmologist* and astrophysicist*") was the most fun.
