A lot of Flat Earthers don't believe in space at all. They believe the Earth is covered by a dome called the Firmament, which just has a lot of pretty lights on it. My favorite obscure Flat Earther belief is that all gravity is caused by the Earth continuously accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s².

That's also my favourite flerf fact as well! ❤️ If the acceleration was true and we just threw out the physics which would stop this from being a thing, we would have already been travelling at the speed of light within about the first year of the Earth's existence. We'd be going over 6000 times the speed of light right about now... Assuming you believe in a young Earth as well.

It's the Biblical conception of Earth. That's why.

what's in the great deep?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not much, apparently?

Here's the two references to it in the Bible:

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:2

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Genesis 7:11

So... dead fish? I have no idea.

And some broken fountains, apparently

That would be cool if true. It wouldn't take long for us to reach the speed of light and then all sorts of cool things would happen. None of that makes it likely, and we'd need an empty universe to do that in or we'd be immediately obliterated, but still cool.
