For the person at the top of the world, (the North Pole), gravity is pulling him down, towards the South Pole. But for the person at the South Pole, shouldn't gravity pull him down as well? What keeps our person at the South Pole from falling completely off the face of the "globe"?


... do they even know what the core is? Ermm

There are so many problems with this society and its theory, that I won't mention one, as I couldn't resist including more. It is completed flawed. And Kamikaze, they probably have heard of the "core" phenomenon, but reject its existence.

A hoax.
 
Using whatever means are deemed necessary and relying heavily on a callous disregard for the lives and well-being of our members, we have slowly but steadily been spreading the news.
 
what sort of a serious society would emblazen that across their mission statement, even if true?

I wonder how they dismiss such a thing... maybe they think since no one has seen it means theres no such thing Pinch

A globe ,we use on Iceland. The earth isn't flat?
 
Btw: The earth is flat, and anyone who disputes this claim is an atheist who deserves to be punished. (From an edict issued in 1993 by Sheik Abdel-Aziz Ibn Baaz, Supreme Religious Authority, Saudi Arabia)

So bothersome yet so true. Good thing that religious ignorance holds no water with anyone with half a brain. That Sheik lives in a box. His backward mentality is reflected in that statement.

Heard of it, no. Listened to it, used it, enjoyed it, happily endorsed it, yes.
