Wikipedia's mistake is that it considers healthy people to be
fools and psychos.
Where does it make this claim?
I'll answer it for you: Nowhere.
My principle of
paper-writing is "Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking
the very words of God" 1 Peter 4:11.
I doubt your claims, as you've shared your writing here and it isn't academic writing. That is, unless you went to one of those non-accredited Christian schools that don't even have a proper campus.
People through "genetic memory" remember the time when
"there was no rain, but steam watered the Earth", as Bible reminds
humankind. There was no reincarnation, but there has to be
"the memory of ancestors."
That's why Wiki says that stuff is pseudoscience. There are no "ancestor memories," rain was here before we were, and the Earth was never flat. The laws of nature won't allow for it, and it's just not something gravity does. If it did we'd see flat planets. But as we learn more about black holes, detecting radio bursts on a more frequent basis, touch the sun, amd observe a neutron star colliding with a super massive black hole. We can gaze further out than ever before and as we discover new planets they aren't being found flat.

Earth was flat only for a short time in the past.
No, the Earth was never flat, not even for a moment. People thought it were, because they didn't know better. :)

I doubt wikipedia say that flat earthers in general are stupid, or that it even use that word. But I would argue that modern day flat earth believers borderline that very notion, given the amount of evidence there is for a spherical earth, the complete lack of reason why anyone would want to hide why the earth would be flat etc.

There is a huge difference, between referring to people of ancient times with very limited knowledge about Earth and calling them stupid for not knowing better compared to a modern day person with almost unlimited access to knowledge on the internet, educational institutes, libraries and 100s of years of people having studied this and presented proofs for why the earth is indeed not flat. I don't think these people should be all that offended, if anyone should accidentally refer to them as being stupid. :)

You are my most competent "enemy" in this thread. Please say, does my CV in the beginning have any influence on simpleminded folk?
I don't know about simple-minded folk, but for the rest of us it suggests that, assuming you are not inventing that CV, something has subsequently gone wrong with your mind. That can happen, especially when we get old, and has happened even to some very eminent scientists.

I have completed secondary school with Gold Medal, University
with Cum Laude, I was lector and researcher at Tartu University, I
am author in Physical Review E. My last scientific results are
proofs of Riemann and abc conjectures. My principle of
paper-writing is "Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking
the very words of God" 1 Peter 4:11.


To quote Wikipedia at 2022 AD: "Modern flat Earth beliefs are
promoted by organizations and individuals which make claims
that the Earth is flat while denying the Earth's sphericity,
contrary to over two millennia of scientific consensus. Flat
Earth beliefs are pseudoscience; the theories and assertions
are not based on scientific knowledge. Flat Earth advocates are
classified by experts in philosophy and physics as science
deniers."

Wikipedia's mistake is that it considers healthy people to be
fools and psychos. No, they are quite normal. It's just that the
world before the Biblical Great Flood was very different from
2022 AD. Earth was flat only for a short time in the past.
The Bible describes it at the very beginning of the Old
Testament. People through "genetic memory" remember the time when
"there was no rain, but steam watered the Earth", as Bible reminds
humankind. There was no reincarnation, but there has to be
"the memory of ancestors."


Flat earthers are not stupid. Yes, and take at least the atheists.
"God is Spirit" (Bible). Two spirits are at war in the world: the
Holy Spirit and the evil spirit (satan). Evil is the absence of
good, so it does not exist but is present. Evil is nothing
(nothingness) that is outside our holy reality. Therefore, some
people feel that "there is no god", but other people feel that God
exists. These are two different ones: god and God. An atheist,
speaking of god, is not talking about Jesus, but about an idol.

CONCLUSION:

Flat earthers and Globe earthers are not stupid. But both kind
of people do not see the whole situation.
They do not see "The Whole of the Moon", as tells this song:

Please, don't complain. Because I became funnier. I am Fun.



Omnipotence.

My qualifications: Perfect idiot (while many around me are imperfect). I'm not referring to you, of course.

The study of dimensions is quite intriguing. Painters can make a two dimensional canvas look three dimensional. Picasso made paintings with three eyes, that people just don't understand....he was capturing the dimension of time as the model moved their head their eyes moved.

M-theory is a modification of string-theory in which Dr. Witten added dimensions to account for different ideas about the nature of strings (such as....are they loops, or are they segments of lines, etc.). String theory proposes that the world around us has many dimensions, but many of them we cannot see. Some appear to be curled up dimensions within the space that we do detect.

In mathematics, we can use "mapping" to change the current "make believe" grid of space into a different space. The purpose of mapping is to make the math easier. So we could map every point of our space to every point of a warped space, just to make the math easier, but, such mappings must preserve certain qualities (depending on what you are using the mappings for). So, we can map every point of our space to a point of warped space. One sometimes has to pay attention to scale and conformal aspects of mapping. That is, maybe the angles in one mapping differ from angles in another mapping?

When we make an inverse mapping of our space, our point of zero goes to infinity, and our infinity maps to zero. This is rather interesting since the point of zero is merely a point. Whereas, infinity exists in all directions around us. So mapping every point of infinity to zero seems weird. It is especially weird if you start thinking of all points of infinity as the same point. However, when dealing with some calculations of infinity, we must consider that each infinite point is unique...not the same as other points of infinity.

For example, with a Cauchy Riemann integral, rotation around a singular point (a point at which the function becomes infinite) is significant. So, there is a difference between the point of infinity in one direction or in another.

When there is a line of infinities in the complex plane (called a branch cut), one must go to infinity (lets say on the top of the branch cut) loop around the end of the branch cut, and come back (lets say on the bottom of the branch cut). The top and bottom of the branch cut cancel out, because, in the limit, the two lines are in the same place. So, the only residue is picked up at the point of infinity.

A shorter way of saying this is multiply the residue at that point of infinity by 2 pi i (where i is the square root of negative one).

Maybe some of our dimensions have associated imaginary dimensions associated with them?

Time is often treated as another dimension (like a dimension of space). Except, that time only marches forward, and we can't go backwards in time (as far as we know).

It would be interesting to ponder if the expanding universe reaches such incredible speeds (far exceeding the speed of light) that "might" cause time to run backwards. If so, that might mean that the distant future of the universe might be the same point as the distant past. Or, in layman's terms, the alpha might be the omega (that is, the beginning might be the end). This kind of speculation might lead to the idea that the universe created itself. That is, the big bang is the universe crashing backwards into itself in time.

When it comes to sensing a flat earth, many would argue that spacecraft launched from earth have observed the round disk of earth. Many would also argue that we have orbited the moon, and found it to be round (roundish). How do we know that our perceptions of dimensions are correct?
