Well, that settles that. But this article isn't over yet, which means there's more to the story.
Have you ever asked yourself if there's a difference between a cylinder and a sphere? More than likely not, but it's never too late to try new things.
Take out your piece of paper with two parallel lines on it. Go ahead, dig it out of the trash. Wrap one end around to meet the other, making a cylinder. Carefully observe the parallel lines — they remain parallel, don't they? That's because cylinders are flat.
The Universe being flat has to do with the curvature of space time. If it was closed then the Universe would eventually curve back in on itself over long enough distances, of it was open then it would curve outward and things would move further apart over greater distances. Instead it looks like it's flat, so two beams of light that are parallel to each other would remain parallel as they travel long distances, and not bend toward or away from each other.
Nicholas Carter
It’s a measure of how parallel light behaves across vast distances. There’s been ongoing debate for decades using different observation methods whether there is an incredibly small positive or negative curvature, or none at all.

It's a toroid. With a black hole at the centre, continuously transforming energy
>fLaT Guys we got them! It's over! Scientists say the universe is flat!!! >What about all the other science about the globe Nononono! Those are the (((shill))) scientist. These ones are the real ones because I think it corresponds to me insane views.
Aiden Ramirez
So Space-Time can be essentially flat and even, while also internally generating vortices and otherwise spherical and toroidal objects?
One of these contradicts the other.
Aaron Cooper
The point is that the empirical observations of spherical objects like the planet are accurate, but on the scale of the universe, such things are actually flat and the 3Dimensionality is an illusion.
Brayden Garcia
Holy fuck I’ve seen that exact shape when I was fucked on acid and ket at a rave. It was moving around and I was an onlooker and felt like I was with my ancestors.
Benjamin Morris
The depth of the skin is equal to your local observable universe in light years.

The universe has to be flat. Otherwise time as we know it would cease to exist, the fundamental laws of the universe demands that it be flat. In the same respect the laws also make the Earth round. This really isn't hard to understand if you actually know what you're talking about.
Xavier Taylor
You'll see that exact shape if you look at the magnetic field of the planet as energy cycles through the poles, and also if you look at a common apple or most fruits. Really every material thing has a semi-toroidal form.
Tyler Gutierrez
>The universe has to be flat. How can the universe be flat and 3d at the same time retard?
Brayden Rodriguez
Hence the term "plane of existence". I'm beginning to like this theory the plane was born as the rift where opposing energies/forces of the universe meet. The physical realm a byproduct of the war between them. You could almost say it generates a simulation between them to carry on their metaphysical war.
Ian Torres
The same way that a sphere has no sides and infinite sides at the same time. Flat is a relative term. Just like if you zoom in on a ball eventually you will see a flat plane.
Ryder Thomas
I just showed you. The skin of this shape is all the mass in the universe.
Owen Cruz
Reading comprehension FAIL. Good job, flattie. You pwned yourself. >bbbbut muh science an sheeeit!
Flat just means zero local curvature everywhere. If two people started going off in parallel directions then if the curvature was negative they would get farther apart the further they go. If it was positive they would get closer together. If it were zero they would stay the same distance.
Picrel is for 2d surfaces (where it is easier to visualize), but the concept applies also to 3d surfaces.
I thought it was like bubble wrap not flat. I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Gabriel Howard
That's the Zoroastrian worldview, actually. Two parallel plans of infinite depth in the direction away from each other. A sizable void between that acts as a conflict zone.
Isaiah Evans
You're the one lacking reading comprehension. If the Universe/Space-Time is actually flat, the 3-Dimensionality of things like the earth are just folk-illusions.
It is empirically valid to view the earth as a sphere, but this and other essential scientific discoveries of this and the prior century demonstrate that naive realism is truly naive!
the thing about Flat Earth is that anyone can use the SCIENTIFIC METHOD to prove that earth is flat and motionless simply by performing some very basic experiments themselves such as the curvature test, or attempting to measure for stellar parallax. The main reason why most intelligent people haven’t yet noticed that earth is flat, and space is obviously fake and gay, is bc Jewtube and Jewgle are hiding legit flat earth info with their algorithms. Also, “The Flat Earth Society” is a Masonic disinfo campaign. You can use these playlists to bypass (((their))) algo’s and to answer any questions you may have about the FE model:
LOCAL curvature. Not literally zero third dimension. We live in 3 dimensional space, obviously there is a third dimension to the universe. But paper has a third dimension as well and yet everyone accepts that as flat.
Brandon Mitchell
Exactly. You're virtually 3 Dimensional, but objectively you're a flat array of data and qualia/sensory impressions.
If you are truly interested in finding the truth, these interviews/debates are great resources to hear both sides of the argument and then construct an informed opinion of your own on the matter.

>But paper has a third dimension as well and yet everyone accepts that as flat. Paper = Universe No. Calling the universe flat is beyond retarded.
Nathan Garcia
No, it is a geometric concept. It's from differential geometry. But there also is axiomatic geometry for curved surfaces, too. Euclidean geometry (ie parallel lines never intersect) is for flat space. Hyperbolic geometry (parallel lines diverge) is for negative curvature and spherical geometry (parallel lines always converge eventually) is for positive curvature.
Well I know what I'll be reading into today. It's an interesting thought. Anything that tries to put context on existence or the lack there of is fascinating. I also realize flat is relative to scale. Which makes this kind of hilarious in itself
Brody Miller
>had to think what BM means Feels so good being white, yet sad that this nigger had kids and I didn't
Jacob Kelly
>Calling the universe flat is beyond retarded. Shouldn't take it literally. It's just a term from mathematics and geometry referring to 0 curvature, which is defined by the way parallel lines, areaas, and volumes behave as you move away from a point.
Jose Moore
>The Universe Is Flat But the curve is not. Two more weeks. Get the vax.
How can something have zero curvature and be bubbled geometrically at the same time? I think this is where these theories are essentially bullshit and only the gods themselves know the true make up of everything.

>It is empirically valid to view the earth as a sphere, >What was all that about the Earth not being flat? That screeching sound is you backpedaling at about mach 4. /thread.
Aiden Clark
What the fuck does BM mean what niggerspeak is this
That skin is about 13.7b light years from you, any further and the observable universe folds into infinity. And we live on a rock ,spinning around a star, swirling around a local event horizon, following a spiral around a toroid. Or I'm a monkeys uncle.
Nathan Johnson
So because you're too stupid to understand the concept from the start, and then I have to dumb it down for everyone like you, that makes the concept dumb?
