So fuck flat earthers, but the meme cards told us "they know something" so I was having a thought
Many people have made claims about a hollow earth, and that you can enter it through Antarctica, and flat earthers seem to think about Antarctica as an entry way to a "new world" so to speak, but neither the hollow world nor flat world theories are scientifically possible
But every part of these theories would be adequately explained by a torus world, which is scientifically possible, albiet incredibly unlikely
considering antarctica is politically blocked off from the world and isolated, do you think its possible that a torus within exists with foreign cultures or empires we haven't seen before? do you think the international community has it blocked off because it perceives a threat?
No because sunlight would make way less sense and you could see more earth up in the air like halo.
Bentley Green
not if the torus only existed in the poles
Alexander Collins
There's still sunlight at the poles for part of the year
Ethan Ross
Could be explained by a wobble in earths rotation, or by it not having a perfect rotation around the sun, also for all we really know, greenland and the seen parts of antarctica could be the edge of a larger arctic, all of this is incredibly implausible but entirely possible
Caleb Butler
Maybe but I think that would cause irregular shadows somewhere in the world. Imagine a wobble on a torus and the shadow it would cast and peel the shadow off flat. Somebody with a 3d program could probably show an example of how odd it would look
Brayden Hill
I mean if the torus had a fairly small area, which is more likely since smaller surface area would spread forces more efficiently, the rest of the world would function mostly like a sphere
Isaiah Peterson
But somewhere in the world would look odd and inside the torus part would have areas with half shadow and half light in the sky and the ground. You could maybe align the land so that nowhere that people live shows the phenomena but there's still the issue of the world being mostly explored by the 1700s and it being reported somewhere by seamen and the obvious problem of why earth would be a donut in space when nothing else is.
Flat earth usually says space doesn't exist which is ok for the premise but a torus working in normal space but being an odd shape is kind of difficult.
Tyler Collins
Nothing about the torus world hypothesis states that the torus be of equal size to the rest of the world, it could be as simple as a tunnel through the world a few miles or tens of miles in diameter, or it could be much larger
Lucas Walker
For the record its already something that science considers possible but unlikely for a planet to hold a torus shape, since it would hold indefinitely under gravitational forces, thats why im making an argument for it
It could be small yea but the smaller it is the less sunlight it ever gets. It wouldn't explain the expanses at the poles that do get sunlight. A super steep hole of just a few miles wide would be very obvious unless the world was very thin. Like a flat earth but 2 sided
Gavin Foster
There is no center, it constantly changes. There is no definable "hollow".
Assuming theres water, light would reflect pretty well within, especially since a torus wouldn't be some 90 degree cliff face
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Sorry I misread your post, It would make sense if it thins near the top, which would be a plausible side effect from the inertia forces on the poles
it would also make sense if, like I said, the arctic we know is just an edge of a larger area
Carter Mitchell
I can see a donut and an ice wall with the outer band being "earth" as we know it and it spinning around the sun like a Frisbee but im not sold on the sun getting at it. What I could maybe see is our true center of gravity being in space at the centerpoint of the torus with gasses being compressed into a little sun or something like a neon light using charged particles.
Something like a blacklight sun :)
Aiden Hernandez
The sun and moon orbiting earth in some retarded pingpong fashion through the center of a torus is as dumb as flat earth, no we dont even know a torus exists, let alone whether theres light down there to begin with
if the world is a torus then the center of gravity would be within the mass held adjacent to the torus, as in, walking within the torus would be the same as walking on the rest of earth, with gravitational differences depending on the scale of the torus
Jason Sanders
Are we getting serious here because if we are then the same phenomena that causes Aurora borealis would happen on the inside of the torus and look really cool. I forgot I was on Reddit and not Jow Forums tho
Brayden Cooper
Nigger I'm just getting ready for legal weed here in illinois
Justin Wood
the sphere is a special case of torus
like a lemon or an orange like the apple
the overlapping area is where the seeds are located
everything is a torus
Nicholas Reed
You finally took the torus pill, OP. Congrats. The meme cards also say other stuff about the hollow earth, OP, but to answer your question, yes and yes.
Smh.... if it was a torus then you'd be able to see it. You would literally see the moon pass through and the other half of the torus most of the time. What now? You're gonna say the lands twist through the torus or that the land is only on the outside rim of the torus so we never see the other side? What about flying across to another country. We would simply just see it, we have powerful telescopes that see other galaxies for fuck sakes...
Colton Perry
flat earther here. no, fuck you.
in fact, i was just contemplating flat earth, and it occured to me that at some point antarctica was definitely lush and supporting life. i'll bet anything that the arctic ice ages corresponded to antarctic verdant ages. for if the sun is rotating around a center point (polaris), and during the course of the year it moves further and further south until late december when it starts moving back towards the center, it stands to reason that antarctica was once green and probably populated. this is the reason it's starting to be summer in the southern hemisphere...because the sun is moving to the widest rotation and furthest from the center. the season of the year having only to do with how close the sun is rotating to your latitude. anyway, the sun is probably on a grand transit...this is why it moves a degree each year. at some point it will keep widening and start to thaw antarctica. at which point the northern hemisphere will again freeze over.
that is to say, ice ages are predictable. they probably last thousands of years. we just have to figure out which direction it's moving in this grand transit. it seems as if it's heading south, or towards the outer limit of the grand transit. which means it will begin to be warmer and warmer the further 'south' you go over the next several years...and colder and cloder the futher north.
i bet i'm right, lads. i have that feel that i'm onto something big. you heard in on Jow Forums first.
Parker Torres
holy shit, lads. i'm right, but i'm wrong about the direction. the sun is moving inward in its grand transit...north. the tropic of cancer has shifted hundreds of miles over the last many years. that means very soon canada will be very habitable. that also means that the belt stretching from los angeles to georgia will start getting near tropical -- it's already hot enough. this means, plain and simple, moving north with the sun is most propitious. buy land now in southern canada or even alaska. thirty years from now it may be like virginia. divulgence.net/Tropic of Cancer.html
This change in tilt has resulted in moving the Tropic of Cancer from central Mexico to about the border between California and Oregon and across the Dakotas (aprox). It has begun to wreak havoc upon the global weather patterns. this also means that places like southern chile, argentina, south africa and new zealand will soon get cooler.
