Well maybe Frontier will fix the globe issue and will release a Flat Earth 2.5 update? 
They mostly currently believe it to be round and flat, surrounded by an ice wall. The north pole is at the centre of their stupid map, and antartica is the ice wall. Their stupid map is just an azimuthal equidistant projection, which does turn antartica into a continent that 'walls' off the disc.
Not the modern ones, they believe there's a wall of ice that holds all the water and people in. With a dome. And many even believe that beyond the dome the disc is just a part of an infinite plane of ice, with many domed puddles like ours dotted across it. That's what the government is hiding, all that extra land. (smh)
The answers to all these, well the stupid answers, are all covered by their insaneness already.
It's got really, really mental out there. Many gullible and paranoid people are being pulled into it on YouTube, they are not all just trolling, but the trolls do fool lot's of impressionable people. I try to do my bit in comments there to set the world straight.
OMG Whitehair, are you sure you really want to know?
Don't make me go here.
Okay...
They believe the sun and moon are local and close, about 3000 miles away. Big numbers like 150,000,000km just upset their tiny little flattard* conspiratorial minds.
The sun circles above the disc around the "equator".
Like this.
What utter nonsense. None of them have ever said what keeps it up, or what makes it move.
* A useful concatenation of "flat" and "try hard".
Same here. All the "proofs" I saw before I couldn't stand any more were just variations of "If the Earth is a ball, why don't the Australians fall off?"
Ha! You wish!
You are all just NPCs running around in my game of Elite, which got really realistic after the 200th Anniversary update.
The bit about the way to make the ablative material being lost is a little surprising.
I like it!
What do you do with a Flat Earther who believes Nibiru is going to swing around in its orbit and destroy the Earth?
The elegance of a simple premise that the rate of change of momentum is equivalent to a force and that the acceleration of freefall is also equivalent to that force which is underpiunened by and naturally supports the (unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics fro those that have read it) most basic arithmetic values of 1 + 1 = 2This elegant notion though approximate compared to higher order tensors of GR, is sufficient to launch the fastest and most distant of spacefaring vehicles, to land humans on the moon and to calculate almost all earthly mechanical engineering problems. As such, it far supasses the Flat Earthers reliance on inventing further and more complex conjecture which has no grounding formally nor any additiinal predicted observational testament. Such cionjectures often lead to more and more invention as probed fourther which ultimately lerads to confliuct even within its basic postulation.As such, there is clearly (despite the owerwhelming obvious) significant flaw in the concept.Ask a FlatrEarther what 1+1 = if they answer 2, they are necessarily therefore by direct logical sequence, agreeing the Earth cannot be flat.
Start a rumour amongst the FE community that Frontier is partly funded by NASA to spread the lies.
Hook it into the recent cash injection from the Chinese and you're onto a winner.
Has anyone got any idea why these flat earthers think we would lie about a spherical world? What do they think's in it for us to make up such a story that's been around since Greek times?
Scrub that! Longer than Greek times. Everyone just says that because that was the time they worked out the size of the sphere we are on.

It's a conspiracy apaprently, mass mind-control. As with most things Alex Jones might be afraid of, there's no actual rationality whatsoever, and that this conspiracy spans numerous cultures, political domains and private enterprise is just as party to it as public bodies clearly shows that it's highly pervasive and far-reaching.I would also flip the question: Whgat particular advanbtage is gained by being one of the "lucky" few who accept the world s flat?The answer to this is far easier. One is able to rise above the masses (even in comparison to genius and highly acclaimed academics) and feel superior in being aware of arcane knowledge. The empowerment of knowing bettter and being priovvy to something special. Apparently so much more fulfilling and more than compensating for the lack of attention from an overworked single-parent.
Well it's not looking good for them at the moment......... here's an interesting 3 part show to get you started. http://www.richplanet.net/starship_main.php?ref=227&part=1
The moon landings are not fake.Very simply, there was not sufficient robot technology at the time to be autonomously deployed to place retroreflectors on the surface that some agencies (NOT affiliated with NASA nor USA) may STILL Be using.Numerous papers all using the data (much of which is freely available online) from experiments conducted reflecting lasers from these reflectors have passed peer reviews and are also available in their respective journals.There is absolutely NO logical conclusive aspect as to why such non-affiliated and completely separate entities including rival researchers would go to such lengths to support a particularly US "conspiracy" long after the particular cold war environment, throughout soviet peresstroika resturcturing and acorss a range of politiical and economic climes worldwide.The moon landings were not fake.I have never once seen nor heard of any compelling evidence to suggest otherwise, and no plausible conjecture can contest the very real evidence to supåport the veracity.Null hypothesis tests on the argument that the landings were fake all highly support the view that indeed, the landings occurred.
