Flat Earth?........ Nah, it's official now!

[RayD]

My Godson sent me this, which now provides conclusive evidence to the Flat Earthers that it is nonsense. 

[DRT]

That could just be a conspiracy by cats to make us all believe the world isn't flat 

[SilverAstro]

Are we not forgetting - - that we now know everything is floating in a sea of Dark Matter giving everything that interacts with the Higgs field buoyancy. No more need of turtles ? and no more falling off the edge.

 

[xtreemchaos]

yes its the cats conspiracy, we all know its a triangle really . charl.

The scale is well off in that picture - the bottle of wine should be a similar size to the cat.

Perhaps the bottle is the same size as the cat, it's just that the bottle is farther away?

but what about some gravitational lensing distortion with all that dark matter swirling ?

People, don't start the flat earth talk... if any flat earthers get involved, you're in danger of actually getting so angry with their non logic BS that you will punch your monitor.

Point of order onerable members :-

quote " If the Earth WAS flat" /quote, what is with this past tense, shirley  "the Earth Is flat" would be more   correct  errrr in keeping with, beliefs in certain quarters. Or perhaps they think it was but have now accepted that it is in fact a cube ?

However I think you are mistaken, that bottle is too finely   figured  crafted to be a Hubble ?

That card in the op is a fake, it shows no rain   is this rain ever going to stop ?

Can you imagine trying to explain the cosmic distance ladder to Dougal?

[SilverAstro]

In case I am in danger of upsetting the Hubble team, I crossed out 'figured' in ref to it being superbly well figured to completely the wrong profile. Yea, I know, tediously old joke, I plead rain-on-the-brain malady.

Nah I think the cat and the wine are just holograms,the clouds are real though.

I'd prefer, 'If the Earth were flat...' but it isn't...

Ah yes, thought provoking, but does not the addition "but it isnt" turn it into an oxymoron or somfink, me engineer not linguist

If the Universe is flatter than a flat thing then any extra dimensions that make the earth a sphere are just an illusion

“Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler. And brush your teeth regularly.” - Albert Einstein

On a flat Earth, there must be a very complicated arrangement of lenses so that the Sun appears the same size to everyone.

It could be one of those mini bottles of wine, like i sometimes buy because I'm a light weight

No, the wine is normal size, but the cat is huge - it's the size of South America. Must be one of those maine coons.

Cats rule the world. We are their amusing play-things
