Earth is flat. Prove me wrong.

mdinnerspace

The title asks "prove me wrong". I have yet to see any "proof". Looking out windows and photographs from space is not proof of anything . Now show me a surveyors evidence, for example, and I'll listen. In the meantime the earth remains flat until proven otherwise.

I once stayed in a 15th century Inn and the floor wasn't flat, you could see the slope from one end of the room to the other. Innocent

A cube us flat on 6 sides. See how easy it is to debunk the round earth conspiracy?

It's an optical illusion due to the way perspective works

Everytime I scroll it moves! Help! Getting drawn into the rabbit hole.

this one will get you out of the other one

There's a pub near Dudley called the "Crooked House" because of subsidence. There are some strange internal features that give rise to the mantelpiece appearing to slope down from one direction when it in fact slopes up. So if you put a small ball on it, it rolls "up" relative to the internal frame of reference !

I live in a flat but I'm fairly sure I'm three dimensional. Something else to ponder !

If we live in flatworld, we are 2-dimensional, and you wouldnt even know about it.

my grampa onse toll me the earth was flat      an i still bleeve him      by gawd     

then agin i never rode a eskalatur        let alone a arrow plane

Take a look at flight patterns. There are so many flights within the southern hemisphere that go very deep into the northern hemisphere for a stop.

 

Look at the maps:  Flat.  Coincidence, I don't think so.  

        Flights between some North American centres and Europe do not go straight along the same latitudinal line, but describe a northward curve to cut down the distance actually travelled, because the the route taken is less curved than the latitude line going "direct". Remember the Lockerbie tragedy - the aircraft went more or less directly north to Scotland from Heathrow initially, althought its destination was the USA (New York, I think).

its pretty simple if the earth was a spinning ball we would all fly off so it has to be flat.

        Gravity ensures we don't.

Gravity cannot exist on a round world (sphere).  There is nothing for it to rest upon, it just would slide off the sloping round surface and fall into outer space.  Its Newton's Law #2133: a body at rest will stay at rest unless it slides down a round object and then it will fall into outer space.  Apparently, education in the hard sciences is not sufficient to grasp these advanced concepts.

Tweaked my computer model. Still says Flat.

Anybody who thinks they can fly must be right. A sphere is flat on 0 sides! Very enlightening! I have yet to hear a single shred of verifiable and scientific evidence. Any surveyors here with their measrements? Hint...hint

mdinnerspace

Good point. The effects of gravity can only be applied to flat surfaces. When gravity comes into contact with a spere, all things simply slide off .

Super... we don't have to prove ANYTHING! Read the title to this thread. I open my eyes and see a flat world (excluding mountains and valleys of course). Prove I am wrong. This mumbo -jumbo about satellites doesn't prove a thing.

mdinnerspace

Temper super?

Ants on beach balls prove the earth is round!!! Get your copy!

Logic? Well let's certainly hope it's reasonable. Can't have unreasonable logic now can we?

1.  No its not

2.  Yes it would

3.  He has over 5,482

4.  Yes it would and

5.  Flat and a treadmill.

The science as of 12:32 pm NY time is now settled.
