I just saw this for the first time tonight. Prepare for your brain to go TILT.

^^^this.
Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?"

A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, rotate at a height of 3,000 miles above sea level. As they are spotlights, they only illuminate certain places. This explains why there are nights and days on Earth. The stars are at a height of 3,100 miles above sea level, which is as far as from San Francisco to Boston. In the dark energy model, the celestial bodies are spherical and are made of ordinary matter. These spheres are being held above the Earth by DE.

In the McIntyre model, the sun and the moon are metallic discs instead. These discs are being held above the Earth by photoelectric effect. See: Photoelectric Suspension Theory. The celestial bodies are also being suspended above the Earth by photoelectric effect in the Bishop model.
uhh wha??

That makes my head hurt just a little.
Q: "Wouldn't the Earth crunch up into itself and eventually transform into a ball if it's indeed a disc?"

A: The dark energy model assumes that the Earth does not possess a gravitational field. What we know as "gravity" is provided by the acceleration of the Earth.

Q: "What would happen if you jump off the disc's edge?"

A: You would become directly affected by UA as the Earth is, creating the illusion that you are standing next to it.

Holy Shiite. I have never heard of that. If nothing else, they totally win at trolling the world.

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

A: It looks that way up close.

The community there seems much easier to converse with compared to CR or m.net

Very entertaining. It would be pretty crazy if they turned out to be right though!

I gotta say, it sounds like its fun to make up weird physics models based on semi-arbitrary concepts.

Or make up your own religion based on the fact that it cannot be disproven....

LOL at anyone with 21,000 posts on the flat earth society forum.

How could anyone come up with that much horseshit?

not sure if that's the site or not, basically there's an Onion type "news" site out there for stories based around Star Wars.
