I read the FAQ's and such...but I'm still way confused...
Sit in a bathtub 3/4 full of water.
Lets say the water represents...Oceans. You represent the earth surface not covered by water mass.
Rock back and forth...very slightly. Don't stop. Ever.
Eventually that water is going to splash up and over the ice wall. Or, I dunno...drown us all. Right?
What about the horizon? How can that be explained? How is the curve of the earth explained? What about volcanoes? If there is no earth core...where does the molten lava appear from?
One of the oldest proofs of the Earth's shape, however, can be seen from the ground and occurs during every lunar eclipse. The geometry of a lunar eclipse has been known since ancient Greece. When a full Moon occurs in the plane of Earth's orbit, the Moon slowly moves through Earth's shadow. Every time that shadow is seen, its edge is round. Once again, the only solid that always projects a round shadow is a sphere. How can this be explained?
