Earth is the centre of the universe and therefore its round.

Earth is a sphere due to the facts such as the body of a ship disappearing beofre the mast, only a sphere can project conical shadow on the moon, and because it is the centre of the universe.
All things are made of 4 elements - fire, air, earth and water. Water and earth are heavy ones and so they attracted towards centre of the universe and so down, thus forming a sphere, and hence any object that has this elements in prevailing mass will be subject to gravitation. Fire and air are light and so they are subject to levitation and they rise up. Therefore if object has enough of that element than it would rise up.
However air and fire can not escape because they are blocked from that by the quintessence - the fifth element. It the most perfect of all elements and that is what the celestial part of the universe is made off. Because quintessence is perfect it is takes the most perfect shape for 3d object - sphere and the heavenly bodies orbit the Earth in circles also the perfect shape.
What is celestial? well that is everything above the orbit of the Moon. Everything below it is terrestial. Terrestial things change while celestial do not they are perfect.
This has been covered up by the governments of the world for unknown reasons but the ancients knew this to be true.

Erm...

Say what?

I thought the 5th element was Aether?



or the chick out of the 5th element film

You can call it aether - that is the modern term, back in the day it was called quintessance

or the chick out of the 5th element film

That's what I was thinking. Crap film.

Never saw it all the way through. She was hot though, lol

Being a gayer I couldn;'t possibly comment

Is this guy being serious?

Earth is the center of the universe?  And you know this how?  Did the Bible tell you?

Bible has nothing to do with this, it actually was written on the ideas of the ancients.

Look at the night sky towards north and you will see stars turning in a circle, if you will look at the east and west you will see stars there in straight lines. This is because the celestial sphere that contains stars is turning around the Earth. So do the planets. (to clarify there are 7 planets, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn). They are the only stars that wonder the rest stay fixed in their constellations. Since the universe is a sphere, the most perfect of all shapes and it turns around Earth. Earth must be in the centre of the universe. Nothing changes in the celestial, every night you see the stars and the planets and they always travel in the same way across the sky. Nothing changes in celestial which means the celestial is perfect and so any celestial body must be of perfect shape the sphere.
Actually the governments are trying to hide that so that is why they don't do anything about light pollution because than the largest number of people who live in urban areas won't notice that the stars are always move the same and that there is no parallax that would occur if earth was moving.

I'm going to assume this thread is some sort of a joke.  The sun and the moon are definitely not planets.

What is the planet, it means wandering star. So any star in the sky that doesn't stay with the certain constellation or its fixed position is a planet.

no actually the definition of a planet is something else

If we consider the Earth - flat or round - as an inertial frame of reference we can say with certainty that it is the center of the universe.

What is the planet, it means wandering star. So any star in the sky that doesn't stay with the certain constellation or its fixed position is a planet.

We just can't win.

Actually, I am the center of the universe.

If the universe is infinite, then everywhere is the centre of the universe.
