In Flat Earth theory how thick or "deep" is the Earth?

So one knows its thickness we just know its not round?

Hundreds of miles, at least.

No one can ever find out, if you believe the earth is flat ofcourse.

Apart from that being a particularly vague answer.

Nothing. Every theory, idea or experiment they have are all based on assumptions. They truly have no FACTUAL evidence to prove the Earth is Flat. In the end... all they have is their ridiculous conspiracy theory.

The truth is, we don't know. It would be simple enough to measure if we could conduct a legitimate "space" program (getting a craft over the ice wall and onto the UA next to the Earth), but with conspiracy intervention this is essentially impossible.

The Mariana Trench is 6.7 miles below sea-level, and this can be emirically tested and verified, so I guess we know absolutely that it's at least 6.7 miles thick. In order for it to maintain integrity against the somewhat fluid UA, I would expect it to be several hundred miles thick, but that's just a guess.

There was also the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a Soviet project. They went down 12 kilometers before stopping. Link is here (I thought it was really interesting): http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=567

I'm glad to hear this fact.

Well for a minimum, we need the maximum exerted force on a single point on the Earth (Say a really big mountain, I don't know if everest is the heaviest feature, but for this let's assume it is) once the weight is measured we can work out the force downwards in Newtons, all we do then is work out at what depth the pressure becomes identical with the upthrust from the material below it, if the material remains consistant (or thereabouts) then twice the depth to get to this level point from sea level is the minimum thickness of the Earth...

shame I have no idea how this could be tested practically :S...

Thicker than its atmosphere? Bugger me, I thought you believed in a pancake world, that's like a big loaf of bread in comparison. So you believe the world is a cylinder, too.

You're asking next to impossible questions for average people to answer.  Only estimates, taking into cosideration what the world is made of and requires, can be made of such questions.

Well, they seem to know an awful lot about a wall they have never seen, even though they can't agree on what this awful lot actually is.

FE'ers come up with possibilities, they don't say they are fact (eg. what the ice wall does).

Name one thread where they don't. They seem to use such wild guesses as evidence then blame the rest on conspiracy.

A quick google search can bring up the diameter of the Earth. No need to ask it here.

yes, technically a coin is a cylinder. i think he was referring to a cylinder whose height is greater than its diameter. as in our earth being a shaving cream can, or something.
