Of course it's not an optical illusion, it's a myth. I never said sunsets are an illusion. I said they don't exist. Next time read more carfully.
How can a plane fly around the entire earth? Without turning?
You do realise, that according to Wikipedia, Abraham Lincoln's head was historically made out of fudge don't you?
Quote from: "mariaconda"Of course you haven't, you're just lying. I know this because had you actually done it (instead of just lying about it) you would have gotten the same results as I did.
You sir are a liar!
Ah but if you had done it, you would have gotten the same result I did so it is you who are lying.
After all that's how science works, you perform an experiment and if someone gets a different result they are obviously wrong...
Quote from: "sven1988uk"Although, thats a reason why the government would care... Why would we care?
I thought we were talking about the government...QuoteI know for a fact that I couldn't care less about the shape of the world,
So, why are you on this forum exactly?QuoteNo thats a stupid idea. What if they accidently hit the Ice Wall, end of life as we know it.
The Ice Wall is a little thicker than the walls in your house, I should think. I would estimate..... the radius of Antarctica. An ICBM wouldn't destroy the Ice Wall, or even put a hole in it that would allow water to flow into space.

The government already knows the shape of the Earth, whether it is Flat or Round.Try quoting the entire bit... As it stands anyways, the government and us are linked... If they didn't inform a few of the officials about the Ice Wall how are they suppose to keep it a secret.
Actually, the most likely reason no one touches it is either because you were gravedigging an old post that we all felt should be left in peace, or because your incoherent rambling set up fields of strawmen in an attempt to attack the FE model, or in could have been your use of flawed analogies (usually reserved for bullhorn) involving balloons.
Just maybe.
Not one single thread has ever been deleted (or locked) on this forum for disagreeing with the flat earth theory.
What?
Q: "What about gravity?"
A1: The Earth is accelerating upwards at 1g (9.8m/s-2) along with every star, sun and moon in the universe. This produces the same effect as gravity.
Quotethe goverment couldn't care less about the shape of the Earth.
That might be plausible, assuming that the Earth is round. Actually, no, it's not: they need to know what shape the Earth is in order to know the fastest routes for sending their ICBMs and long-distance bombers around. Come to think of it, that's a good reason why they'd hide the true shape of the Earth: so when Iran tries to lauch intercontinental missles at the U.S. (or whatever) they fall harmlessly in the Atlantic, or better yet, go over the Ice Wall.

Quote from: "sven1988uk"So speed changes depending on weight?
An objects speed while falling on the earth has nothing to do with it's weight. All objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second per second towards the ground. The only reason objects like paper "fall" more slowly is because of air resistance (paper is less dense that an anvil, so it has a harder time moving the air out of it's way).
So speed changes depending on weight? Isn't that gravity?
QuoteIf even the air was moving at 9.8m/s... This would affect the *weight of things*.
No, it wouldn't. Crack open a physics textbook, read the bit where it tells you that gravity causes acceleration, and, as such, gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration, then come back and appologize. Of course, if you have some insight as to why acceleration affects the weight of things, I'd be grateful to hear it, as would the totality of the academic community I'm sure.

Why would the thickness of the crust of earth have anything to do with magnetic field? It's the what's underneath that creates the field anyway.
Wrong... you need the crust to generate the friction... Remember when you were a kid and you rub a baloon on your head and the friction generates a static shock. Same principle with the Earth. Except the moving magma does the rubing. The more thickness you have. The more static you have.
Before you say why doesn't the crust always move then?
IT DOES. Earthquakes? Volcanoes? It's not just the pressure that lets out the magma. If the crust didn't move, we would not have Earthquakes.
Quote from: "sven1988uk"Can you tell me how this accelerating Earth thoery changes the weight of objects? If the world was speeding, things would fall at the same speed.
Everything falls at the same speed on a round earth. A peice of paper only seems to fall slower than an anvil because of air resistance.

Quote from: "sven1988uk"Quote from: "Chaltier"Quote from: "WTF_Mate"Also, I assure you the photo is not a fake, I state my reputation on it.
Good to hear, and your reputation may remain intact today. This is, indeed, a real photograph. The only question is what it is of.

From what I see is:
A Dr Pepper bottle holding up a plate.
In that plate is little children puzzle peices or something he did himself.
A torch held up by a peice of string.
His favourite bath toy held up by a peice of string.
I believe this photo was taken in his kitchen or bathroom (judging from the tiles, very few people have tiles on the floor elsewhere)
Otherwise yes it is quite real, but not of a world.
A. Yes it is a Dr. Pepper bottle, which I discovered supports the earth as opposed to the four elephants and a turtle. New discovery’s happen all the time, this is one of them.
B. It's not a plate at all; it's what the world actually looks like from space. Have you ever seen it? No, so how can you say it's fake.
C. If it were a torch it would be spewing a flame towards the earth which would inevitably burn every living thing alive and wouldn't cast much light at all so that's just not possible.
D. I have no bath toys, and even if I did how would I suspend one in the vacuum of space?
E. I would say space appears more like a dinning room (like I sated in my previous posts) then a kitchen or a bathroom for that matter (my bathrooms are carpeted) so that disproves your point entirely.
F. Lastly the ice wall is that large. The government has been running a lot of air conditioners for the past few years now in an attempt to counteract global warming (because they know once the ice wall melts all the water will pour off the earth and we will die) and in the process have actually cooled the earth enough to allow the ice wall surrounding the entire planet to grow much larger then once thought.

what about if i made one out of LEGO?
There is a word for people who think that only they and a
