![]() The same measurable force that causes an apple to fall from a tree also causes the moon to orbit the Earth and all the planets to orbit the sun. That’s a pretty big deal, since gravity explains a wide range of Earthly and cosmic observations. It’s unclear how gravity would work, or be created, in such a world, says James Davis, a geophysicist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Gravity Failsįirst of all, a pancaked planet might not have any gravity. Let’s examine, then, how the well-known principles of physics and science would work (or not) on a flat Earth. Members of the Flat Earth Society and several celebrities, including Atlanta rapper B.o.B and NBA player Kyrie Irving, claim to hold such beliefs. ![]() ![]() Humans have known for thousands of years that the planet is round, yet the belief in a flat Earth refuses to die. If you subscribe to the idea of a flat Earth, then you’d believe that no such thing happened, because the sun rotates in a circle around the sky. The Earth has yet again made a revolution about the sun. If Earth were flat, you’d know it, because a lot of things would work differently.
