Flat Earth Q&A / Drinking water in Space. Hitting golfballs on the moon.

You can also observe, with binoculars, ships slowly 'sinking' below the horizon as it sails farther and farther out to the ocean, then watch them come back. They certainly didn't fall off the edge of the earth! You can also sail or fly around the world.
The Greeks discovered that the earth is round by observing lunar eclipses (i.e. when the earth blocks the sun from the moon, casting its round shadow on the moon's surface).
Another method is simultaneously measuring the length of the shadows cast by identical poles perpendicular to a flat surface that is tangential to the earth's radius at various, distant locations. If indeed the earth is round, then the shadows should all vary in length from one distant location to another, which means that the angle at which the parallel rays of sunlight struck each pole varied from one location to another. (recall the alternate-angles theorem from Geometry class) If the earth is flat, then the lengths of all the shadows should be identical when measured simultaneously, since all rays of sunlight that strike the earth are parallel. However, they are not identical, but in fact, varies in such a way that the angles indicate a spherical surface. (This was one of the earliest methods to determine the radius of the earth)
Also, keep in mind the 24 hour time zones. When it is noon in Hawaii, it is approximately midnight in the Middle East and vice versa. How can it be noon and midnight simultaneously? It is certainly impossible with a flat earth and a sun millions of times more massive.

i think my o momma theory is great. just cuz YOU cant see the logic behind it... doesnt mean Im wrong. it just means you have no vision.
You are an immature asshat. You can't think of any logical answers so you act like a twat instead of admiting that you don't believe any of this bullshit. This site is fake. I don't believe any of you.

I don't care if I'm not original, I want answers.

See? He doesn't even have an answer to good questions which clearly proove his theory wrong.

...I know money is important, but how could the government gain a profit from people thinking this?

Why would the government put in so much effort for people to think the world was round? What would the motivation be? If have heard you guys say "money", but how could the government get money by convincing people the earth was round?

The earth is the center of the universe. We should expect things to be different here.
No. You are wrong.

Do you really believe that you're the first person to tell us this?
No, but you still believe! You are wrong though, totally wrong.

You are all wrong. The earth is round. I know I know, tell me all you want about the conspiracy, but you are wrong. I took a 2 year journey traveling acoss the world, and there was never any ice wall, and I went all the way AROUND the globe. I hate to shut you guys down about this, but this is on par with the whole "OMG TEH HOLOCAUST = FKAE" theories. Believe what you want, but in the end you are wrong. Please, don't try to argue because I am right and if you believe the earth is flat then you are wrong.
