Is the earth flat?

[Alpha]

So we are in The Sims. But why could they not have made a circular globe as part of the game design? It is more complicated but gaming has come on leaps and bounds.

Not sure if you are trying to strawman or not, I didn't bring up the Sims here, my enquiry is into the affirmative claim that we have all been born into and taught that we live on a globe. When I applied my attention to the globe model, I found it was pseudoscience. It was an image backed by sophisticated language, thats it, it's not an objective truth.

The man is back

Hi Walrus, I'm a man (but not the man), just an individual on my own personal journey of knowledge. Hope things are good with you.

It was a thinking out loud thing. I have heard theories that this is some kind of simulation and if it is all flat, I just wonder about the game design. Why does the moon look round though? And why do all the stars appear to be circular? And the sun? Then again I think back to The Lion King and they are of course just shiny things stuck on the black thing up there, but they do seem to rotate it all in a very clever fashion don't they. We have the timing of the simulation down such as with sun rises, moon shapes, and all of that and here we are on the flat earth. I just wonder about the programmers.

All good buddy, I don't take you as the sort to resort to strawman arguments. Simulation is an interesting theory, especially when you look at things like the double-slit experiment or that they say we find computer code in the fabric of the cosmos. It's a theory that I have spectulated over previously myself. Even in our reality, I couldn't tell you what the moon is. We have spherical eyes but can only see in 2D. There is a major difference between visual and physical/ tangible
phenomena. I have said this before, but looking at the sky gives nothing quantifiable for the shape of the earth. Practical demonstrations, using tangible substances in our reality is how we prove whether something is true or not to one another.

Why when the rocket or space station looks back down on Earth, the earth is round in all. Photos?

Have you been to space or on the ISS? You have to have faith that what they are telling you is true. Would you accept an image as proof of something if someone was claiming it to be true? Objective reality, natural science and practical demonstration using tangible substance, show the globe to only be a concept.
