I still wonder if the earth is flat what is below us? given we have not found the edge there is no way to know. Then again given we haven't found the edge pretty much sums up it isn't flat.

We don't know what is below us because humanity has only dug 8 miles. The cola ultra deep mine.

Maybe there is no edge?

Admiral Byrd on his expedition to the Antarctic stated there was massive amounts of land beyond the "pole".

People say there is no edge to the cosmos and nobody bats an eye though they have never seen it for themselves. Why can't there not be an edge to the plane we live on?

What it comes down to is very wealthy people hiding land for themselves and tricking the rest of the world that what you see is what you get.

Ancient maps depict more land.

I used to think flat earth was a ridiculous psyop. Refused to research it. Finally my engineer friend convinced me to look in to it. Turns out its level and motionless.

We all started out believing in a globe, I say we are the only sane ones because we asked questions and looked into it

Yeah, but you're just going north again <facepalm>

Source? Crackpots on youtube don't count.

With the warning "here be dragons".

my engineer friend

the theory of there being land beyond the pole works just fine with any map map as it is just one point on it same as your house is one point any approach on that one point will find something beyond it. round simply allow this to continue one infinitely as you circle it.

So the reason we haven't expanded a map in a long time is the wealthy are hoarding it and stopping anyone from being able to see it?

Well your not disproving my opinions of the engineers I have met.

Some say the disk of the earth is supported on the backs of four gigantic elephants. Once every 10000 years, these elephants get horny and mate, allowing the earth to fall and be destroyed. When they're done fucking, another earth magically appears on their backs. This is known as the Big Bang theory of creation.

Another theory claims the earth is on the backs of four giant tortoises. What do the tortoises stand on? It's tortoises all the way down!

They say the tortoise swims through the fluid surrounding the dome. But where is he going and what does he eat? It's like the goat herder's version of "we're living in a computer simulation on somebody's computer."

Nobody knows because they can't dig far enough. Btw modern science doesn't even know what's below us. Ever since Russia's experiment to drill the deepest hole, everything we know about the inside of the earth is fucked and up ended all the previous theories
