Let’s talk Science Fiction and pretend for a moment that the Earth is really flat like a coin.

…how thick is it?

It's 80 miles thick x 20,000 miles long x 13,500 wide.

It doesn’t matter how thick it is. It’s turtles all the way down.

What if it really is flat and we're all inside a giant terrarium?

Isn't that more a spin on the hollow earth theory?

It varies between 3.50 miles and 35.0 miles, depending on the local depth of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity. Once you hit that, there's nothing beyond, other than the clear blue firmament.

TikTok taught me it's all a simulation. There is no real Earth.

How would you know no one has ever fallen off? It's not like they could inform of it afterwards.




edit... y'all, I was in a silly mood and joking. I am not a flat earther, although I am quasi moon skeptic on some days.
