How do you mean that your particular faction of flatearthers came to know about this? Did they stick a sky syringe through the dome to see what was on the other side?
Nobody can go up to the sky, even the Jinn. There will be flame of fire waiting for us.
55:33 O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority
55:35 There will be sent upon you a flame of fire and smoke, and you will not defend yourselves.Jin was able to do this,..but not anymore.
72:8 And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.But God has sent down the scriptures to explain all of this,..the creation of the universe, and something that we can be observed and compared directly, Ourselves!
17:99 Did they not see that God who has created the heavens and the earth is able to create their like? And He has made an appointed time for them in which there is no doubt. But the wicked refuse anything except rejection.41:53 We will show them Our signs in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness over all things?51:20 And on the earth are signs for those who comprehend.
51:21 And within yourselves; do you not see?The creation of the heavens and the earth is akin to the creation of man, just different in scale:
40:57 The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the people, but most of the people do not know.
And most of the people dont know.
56:62 And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?We dont need to go up to the sky to since we know the first creation from 23:12-14, as follows,
Now let's take a look at what's God has been said in Torah regarding the creation of the universe,
Genesis 1 King James Version (KJV)
(6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(7) And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Firmament is a solid structure a.k.a "dome". There's a water above the firmament
And Quran said,
11:7 He is the One who has created the heavens and the earth in six days, and His Throne was upon the water;There is no way the throne of God is on the water below the dome or above the ocean we used to see. But it's above the water outside the dome. It's not necessary a liquid nitrogen, but a pure water as describe in Quran.
25:53 And He is the One who merges the two seas; this is fresh and palatable and this is salty and bitter. And He made between them a partition <barzakh> and an inviolable enclosure.So now let's compare this two pictures side by side,

It does make sense to me that's this two things is alike. And let's go further into the passage,
27:61 Is He who made the earth a Qararan and placed within it rivers and made for it Rawasiya and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allah ? No, but most of them do not know.I let the word Qararan and Rawasiya untranslated, so we can see its meaning in dictionary,

So the earth is like the extreme part of the womb, I called it "placenta", which comes from "late 17th century: from Latin, from Greek plakous, plakount- ?flat cake,? based on plax, plak- ?flat plate.?
flat cake..

So from my perspective, the earth is flat just like a placenta.
88:20 And to the earth, how was it flattened <sutihat>?

Sutihat, in geometry is a plane, that which is divisible symmetrically and terminated by line.
The heaven and earth also is "dahaha" which means expands. Dahaha is the ostrich's nest which expanded as the bird make it wide. Same thing happen in the mother's womb during pregnancy.
Now let's get back to the scripture's model of the universe. Taken from the one of the Apocrypha books (The hidden Books),
2 Esdras (4 Ezra)
Chap 16
58 He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters.
59 He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it.So the earth is hanged over the water,.. that's why we need "Rawasiya" as an anchor to make it stable.

Rawasiya is not mountain,.. it's an anchor.
21:31 And We made on the earth the anchor <rawasiya> lest it should shift with them,..Now, let's get further with Qararan, here is the explanation:
14:26 wamatsalu kalimatin khabiitsatin kasyajaratin khabiitsatin ijtutstsat min fawqi al-ardhi maa lahaa min qaraarin14:26 And the example of a bad word is like a khabiitsatin tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any QararinThere is twice the use of the word khabiitsatin in the above verse, but I choose a different meaning for the second word. Since the context is about the tree, I choose the word, colosynth.

So it become,
14:26 And the example of a bad word is like a colosynth, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any QararinJust keep the Qararin part that way.
And then I do the same with this verse:
14:24 Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, making a good word like a tayyibatin, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches high in the sky?
Once again, let's focus on the root system of the tree,.. tayyibatin also means palm trees.

So I re-translate the verse like this:
14:24 Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, making a good word like a palm trees, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches high in the sky?So the different between the colosynth and the palm trees is their root model. The colosynth has no root, and the palm trees just like this,

Ok so now, what's all of this got to do with qararin or placenta?
They have the same root system:

Our Qararan or Placenta in the womb has palm-trees root model in their system.
I quote this form medical website:
QuoteThe placenta is responsible for working as a trading post between the mother?s and the baby?s blood supply. Small blood vessels carrying the fetal blood run through the placenta, which is full of maternal blood. Nutrients and oxygen from the mother?s blood are transferred to the fetal blood, while waste products are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood, without the two blood supplies mixing.
Without two blood supplies mixing..
Sounds familiar in Quran:
27:61 Is He who made the earth a Qararan and placed within it rivers and made for it Rawasiya and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allah ? No, but most of them do not know.Without two seas mixing..
Therefore, we as a baby inside the firmament womb, cannot see the water above the firmament or dome.
Allah knows best.
Peace
