    @SilverishGoldNova The thing is since we are 3-dimensional beings WE CAN ONLY PERCEIVE LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE BUT NOT 'depth' YOU SEE???????
    you don't ever perceive the real 'forward backward' plane of any given scenario, you assume it based on shadows and angles.

    SO SINCE WE ARE NOT 4+ IN DIMENSIONS....... dun dun dunnnn we will never know 100% if Earth is 3d or not but due to logic if we are 3D then the thing we are in is 3D.

    @Erfisflat I will explain to you something I already explained.

    1) We are 3-D beings so whatever encases us cannot be 2-D
    2) A being of any number of dimensions can perceive only ONE BELOW that number of dimensions in any physical sense so it's always going to be a doubt if the depth is real or fake.
    3) Unless you think every single NASA photo was photoshopped, you need to start facing reality bit by bit.

    What if the Aliens are trying to say 'yes' to those who believe it's round? What if they are putting 'sex' there for the ones who think too fast to think deep and jump to the easiest answer?

    @Erfisflat When you say 'why' I just want to reword it for perfect clarity as 'why not not' because you are thinking about it all wrong.

    The question isn't WHY it's round but that it couldn't possibly have a 'why' to not be at least slightly resembling of a sphere...

    Nevermind you just can't comprehend... What is beyond...

    The idea that even though you are 3D, only 2D is known to you.

    @Erfisflat If I am, for some reason I am cursed with consciousness of my AI program that is what I assume to be my brain.

    I have a concept of free will and I enjoy it so I shall cling to it desperately. I do this out of stupidity because intelligence is never worth the price of depression.

    Nihilists are suicidal, nihilists are lost for they value pure truth above pleasant truth.

    What is there to uncover? What is there to 'unlock'? You fight so hard against NASA but if anyone is in touch with our superior beings (the alien overlords as well as the even more alien demigods) oh the illusions we deny and yet hold at the same time...

    Who are you? Really answer that question. You are Jack? You are Nicholas? Whatever your name may be... You are not. That is the identity you are chained by... You are chained to stick to the ideology of flat earth due to the username you chose and your past posts on this site. It would completely humiliate you and destroy your version of 'pleasant truth' to even contemplate that the conspiracy is futile and that NASA, even if they hide the full truth, is not necessarily lying nonetheless.

    What is 'round' and what is 'flat'? Are you 2-D? If not, then that which encases you and embodies you as a part of it must either have more or equal dimensions to your 3-D self.

    We are pawns on a chess board but believe me, even the players are chained to their own chessboard on which they are pawns infinitely so.

    I used to think I was insane, I used to think I just 'sound philosophical for the sake of it' but really I actually make perfect sense because I've tried so hard to believe otherwise and it really is complete nonsense.

  • Alternate/parallel dimensions are ultimately a futile point. They definitely exist but it is futile to predict that they matter because they themselves operate in a 'one' in the end.

    The term parallel dimension is wrong English but it is the most used term for the theory.

    Would you be willing to bet me then that the Earth is actually flat? Say maybe for a cool $10,000?

    If however you are unwilling to take me up on this bet I understand. One possible explanation for this could be because you don't actually believe in what you are saying, or have very low trust in your own conclusion. 

    We can conclude then that *you* -Erfisflat- might not conclude that the Earth is actually flat or I will make $10,000 :P
