Anyone here a member of the flat earth society?

Is there a round table debate going on?

Looks like it might be a global initiative.

I'm pretty sure the Earth is a pyramid.

I need to square things up.

I'm sure, Antarctica in the middle, instead of the North Pole. (At least, this idea should be highly appreciated by those folks from upside-down!)

That sounds an awful lot like a consphereacy Walter.

But it's a confeared conferency result!

Around 1900 the Koreshan Unity
founded the community of Estero, Florida, a utopian community a little bit south of Fort Myers. These people believed that the earth was a gigantic sphere containing the universe, and that we lived on the inside surface of the sphere with the sun in the middle. I suppose this would've been easy enough to disprove by pointing a telescope up and seeing Stars rather than the Earth.

Curiously enough astrophysicist Freeman Dyson proposed a theoretical sphere called the Dyson Sphere, an enormous hollow sphere built around a small sun, and people would live on the inside surface. Of course there would be enormous problems to overcome, such as the lack of gravity and atmosphere and the dangerous ultraviolet rays of the Sun. At any rate it's fun to think of it, and in one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation the ship was trapped inside a Dyson Sphere.

Dident they live on the outside of the sphere in order to take advantage of gravity?

I take it you referring to the star trek program. The people lived inside the enormous sphere, but I don't see how they could have had it any gravity at all because it wouldn't have been big enough to have gravity I don't think. So even if you could get it it to spinning like a space station or it wouldn't work because different parts of a sphere would have different amounts of gravity. For instance at the equator you would have the most gravity and at the poles you would have no gravity and in between you would have differing amounts of gravity.
