An ocean planet

Insignificant in the vastness of space.

To our best current knowledge, unique.

The Earth is sometimes locally flat, yes.

But it is never perfectly flat! Is it? How do we measure flatness empirically?

Oh gawd! Maybe no thing is flat.

The sun is round, the moon is round, the planets are round. Why should the Earth be flat? :chin:

Shhh! It is though!

A non-differentiable manifold. Live with it. :brow:

Some asteroids aren't round!

Arda is flat. :sparkle:

Middle Earth is round (after "The Downfall of Númenor" in the 2nd Age).

"Earth" (today) is actually the 6th Age / 7th Age of Middle Earth.

NB: I prefer Earthsea. :nerd:

The only bloody place we have to live on.

Let's try not to fuck it up too badly.

The FErs I know about online believe the earth is a disc. So circular circumference and flat surface. At least disc earthers and globe earthers share a belief in round circumference, eh?
Maybe they think the same about the planets?

Reply to Yohan Locked in? Synced? Not impossible. Therein lies the rub, si señor/señorita?

Like you said, in another thread, we have to demonstrate that it's impossible (for the earth to be flat).

I might be wrong about the disc earth idea. Apparently, flat earthers see that as a straw man.

Haven't figured out what they think yet.
They bring up some interesting issues at least. Like, why going south or north beyond a certain distance is restricted. They think its because there is more land. While hollow earth believers think there are entrances into the earth at the poles. Something is apparently being hidden, whatever it is.

Are you suggesting the Earth is a page i.e. flat?
