If I was to dig a hole straight down (lets not bring on another discussion of straight lines) would i eventually fall through the bottom of the earth?
also, what made you believe the earth is flat?

Unknown.

Looks flat to me.

From where were you viewing the Earth when you decided it was flat?
Where were you standing/what were you viewing
-
It doesn't matter where you stand. Even the most rabid globularist will admit to the earth appearing relatively flat.

You would more likely get burnt to a cinder about the time that you get ready to hit the molten mantle.

and if i was to somehow pass through the mantle?

Let me know when you get there and then we'll talk some more.

FEers do anything to avoid a tricky question.

I just created a thread for this question not too long ago.

Basically, people said it looked flat. Of course, with geometry, you can calculate the curvature of the horizon with any given altitude, and since the size of the earth is so large, you would have to go very, very high to see a distinct curvature. Based on what you see out your window, you can't draw any conclusions, or even a decent hypothesis, about whether the earth is flat or round.
Also, some people said because they don't like the theory for how gravity works, even though the force causing their upwards acceleration has even less evidence.
I think some people might have mentioned Rowbotham's experiments, but they are flawed since they can only be replicated under conditions which produce a superior mirage so you can see over the horizon.

That's funny, when I looked at the Earth, I saw this:

You REALLY expect people to believe you with an answer like this?

Do you really expect Proleg to know what happens when one tunnels through the earth?

By Gauss's law, as you get closer and closer to the center, you will become lighter and lighter. If you were to reach the center, you would become weightless. Then, as you continue on from the center, your weight would increase, and eventually you would reach the other side of the earth.
Check out this site, its pretty cool:

Make an educated guess. You know, using all your current hypotheses.
What would happen if I were to dig to the centre of the RE? Honestly, RE'ers now as little about the centre of the RE as we do about the bottom of the FE.

Idiot. Look up A and B waves. Physics may hurt your head though.

You would find the Morlocks.

Scientifically backed.
Is FET have any science backing it, or unsubstantiated scepticism?

I have a library of resources in my signature link.

LOL but what's-your-point?
All science makes assumptions. If you think those assumptions are wrong you need to state why they are wrong. Not just say "A-duh! There be a sexshiun called 'Assumptions' so it mean dey not know whay dey do"
As far as I can tell the assumptions are fairly reasonable. What would FEers put in their place?
Did you read the section? Did you see what they base those assumptions on?
