The Flat Universe Society

I’ve never been instructed to ponder before. I respectfully decline.

The universe's flatness is *not* analogous to an inflated balloon that's so large we can't notice its horizon's curvature. The balloon analogy is helpful in understanding the expansion of spacetime, sure..But does not relate to the flatness of the universe at all. The universe is sheet-of-paper flat

Well, at least you have some understanding of it at all. I envy you that.
Still, I just think if it's not actually flat, they'd've used another word to describe it, like thicc or whatevz.
And NASA's website says "the universe is flat, like a sheet of paper" What do they mean if not plane-like?

I have a sincere question:

The earth is tilted at 23.5° relative to the plane of our solar system.

Our solar system is tilted 60° relative to the plane of our galaxy.

What is the tilt of our galaxy relative to the plane of the flat Universe?

Thank you!

the human wha?

Say wha? I think I'm suffering from such "imperfections in the understanding" here.

Flatness is beautiful.

Why didn't they use the Bering Strait wormhole?

Fisheye lens distortion! Optical trickery!

The universe is actually flat. Flatter than a lasagna, flatter than the tabletop you eat your lasagna off of, flatter than any object on earth.

Good news! Your old Flat Earth Society membership card entitles you (or, rather, subjects you to) immediate membership in the Flat Universe Society! Welcome, brother.

Deus sex machine.

You gold-metal meddler.

a pancake left flat

Man, that Tempest spideyweb flativerse is epic banging 👍

Fact: The Universe is flat.

Flat Universe beliefs weakly skew older.

I’m troll, but also I really do believe the universe is flat.

Is the flatness of the universe debatable? Nope! Anyone who looks at the data knows it to be true: it’s flat, like a sheet of paper.

If you enjoy not debating that the earth is not flat with cucumber people, maybe you’ll enjoy debating that the universe is flat with a pancake person.

Neil Degrasse Tyson told me that if the universe was the size of the universe, it’d be flat as a sheet of paper.

How come Euclid didn’t know about balls?

Exactly. And if their minds are open, they’ll also research the flat universe theory, and they’ll discover it’s actually flat af (“flat, like a sheet of paper”, says NASA) and then they’ll discount anything else said by whomever told them otherwise.

You forgot one:

The Universe is flat.

😬

How long?

Make America Measley Again!

Right on. It’s flat af!
👍

Oh, it’s with necessity.

The flattest material in the world The Nobel Prize for physics goes to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, both Russian-born physicists now working at the University of Manchester in the U.K., for their discovery of graphene.

They say graphene (a single atom thick) is the flattest thing in existence, but if you made an earth sized sheet of it, gravity would cause it to just crinkle up and wrap around Earth’s spherical surface. Even a small sheet of it bends, infinitesimally, in response to earth’s gravity. Flat my ass.

Luckily, NASA promotes the flat universe theory, not the flat earth theory.
