I've been seeing this thread for quite some time now and have been skipping it whenever I come across it, but today I just decided to check it out.
And reading through the contents of the thread, all I can say is that, everyone who has seen the movie matrix knows it's just a complete fiction, although, there are few stuffs that we can say is real but it's the fictional parts that made the movie so intriguing and interesting to watch.
And concerning the flat earth theory, there's no way that could be true because there are so many things we encounter everyday that tells us that the earth can never be round, if the earth was flat then we would actually have the the end of the earth.
Then the phrase "end of the earth" would literally be true and not just a metaphor.
Again, the whole wouldn't actually be using different time zones if the earth was actually flat. Think about that.
