What if | The Earth was flat, not spherical

ArabiaWeather - Sure, flat-earthers have a fertile imagination, but what if they were right?

For thousands of years, people believed that the Earth is flat and everything revolves around it, then scientists came up with a new theory, which says that the Earth is not flat, as the observation led them to believe that our planet is the one that revolves around the sun, but here we are after 500 years and some people around the world are convinced That the Earth is flat.

Do you know why planets form in spherical shape?

Gravity is what holds things together evenly on every side, and as a result, matter forms a ball.Of course, this would not be the case for a flat Earth, as flat Earth supporters believe that there is no such thing as gravity, and that what we feel from attraction is Due to the presence of a mysterious force the Earth is accelerated upward.

Gravity on a Flat Earth

Although it is strange, there can be gravity on a flat Earth, and then the center of gravity on the flat Earth will be in the middle, and all things on the Earth will be pulled towards this point, and the further away from the center the stronger this clouds.

And at some point near the edge, the attraction will be very strong, and this will be the reason why it is not possible to walk to the edge of the flat earth, the edge of the earth that consists of a large barrier that encircles the ground and prevents things from falling, like a high wall of ice, and if it falls, the fall will be sideways instead of falling Down, as this gravity will make the trees grow diagonally, and all the rain, snow and hail will fall towards the north pole located at the center of the earth, and then the precipitation will converge from all the jihad and begin to accumulate, and the oceans will be drawn to the center of the flat Earth's disk, forming a large ocean in The middle.

Air in the atmosphere

The nature of the atmosphere and the air pressure on a flat Earth will be different, as gravity will cause a lot of air to be pulled toward the center of the Earth, leaving areas around the edge without air, that's bad, because people who live in flat-Earth Australia will not have enough oxygen to breathe. People who could live near the center, where the North Pole would be, would be crushed by the weight of the atmosphere.

Earth's magnetic field

A flat Earth will not have a geomagnetic field around it, as this field is created through the movement of the currents of the core of the earth rich in molten iron, and a flat Earth will not have this core, and then life on Earth will be exposed to charged particles and dangerous radiation from the sun, which would cause cancer And it damages our DNA.

Sun and Moon Rotation

The flat Earth theory includes that the sun moves in circles around the flat earth, as well as the moon, so that these circles have a diameter of about 50 km, and thus the earth is illuminated like huge lights, but if this is the case, then bright sunlight will appear from everywhere on the earth, and it will not There will be a day and night cycle.

In order for the flat Earth to alternate between day and night during the day, the sun will have to revolve around the planet in a different way, that is, it rotates from side to side above the Earth's disk, and below the Earth's disk, and then the entire planet Earth will witness daylight when it moves above the Earth's disk, and you will witness The whole earth is dark at night When the sun sets below, there will be no time zones, no seasons in the year.

Then the sun must be much smaller than the earth, if the sun was a giant and it was orbiting the flat earth, the whole planet would burn, and on the other hand, if the sun was much smaller than it actually is, it would freeze to death.

All this will happen because the Earth is flat.
