Not
comfortable with the idea of our home looking like a vinyl record, Flat Earth
Society member Varuag, has posed the possibility of the planet actually being
more of a Krispy Kreme. ‘I was wondering how a theory like FE theory gets
formed, and I came to the conclusion that someone must’ve thought of the
original idea,’ they wrote.
‘And
then it must’ve been followed by a long series of people pointing out flaws and
then re-adjusting the theory (or thinking of new ideas) to iron out the flaws
in the theory.’
They
stated their theory, and then invited fellow members to point out flaws and to
see ‘if we can think of arguments that will counteract these flaws.’ He added:
‘I have a theory that the Earth is in fact shaped like a torus (a donut-shape).
However, light is curved so we cannot tell.’
The very first question was how can we tell if the light is curved. This may seem hilarious to some because its completely absurd. So you just sit back and read on and also watch
this. Varaug said, as
reported by Flat Earth Society:
Radio
waves are reflected by the atmosphere (hence why we don’t need to set up
several towers to transmit radio waves across very long distances). Light waves
are also reflected in a similar way. When we look across, the light diminishes
as it travels, and by the time it reaches the atmosphere, it is diminished
enough to be reflected.
The
light will then hit another corner of atmosphere and so on and so forth,
curving every time. This gives the impression that the Earth is flat (or has a
slight curvature). So, if I stand on the surface in the middle of the TE and
look up, why can’t I see the opposite side of the torus, came the next inquiry.
Varuag
answered: When you stand in the middle of the TE and look up, the light passes
through the first atmosphere it reaches.
However,
by the time it reaches the second atmosphere (the one to re-enter the
atmosphere of the TE) it has diminished enough to be reflected, and gets
reflected into space, so you see space. When asked how we have night and day,
they said to lay a torch horizontal on a table and turn it on. Then to get a
donut and place it on it’s side, with the hole perpendicular to the torch; the
side which is illuminated by the torch is in day.
‘Over
24 hours, the donut performs one complete revolution,’ they instructed. ‘Spin
it half way around, this signifies the passing of 12 hours.
Now,
the side that WAS in day, is facing away from the torch and is in night. The
side that WAS in night, is now facing the torch and is in day.’
Is
this all one big joke? I have no idea. If you don’t believe the above exists,
