Round the World

Do the flaps stop you going too far or are they there to stop the moisture from seeping out?

I'm sorry, sex education doesn't really fit the board description. Try here.

Surely if there's no Ice Wall, all the seas and oceans will just pour over the edge of the earth though, leaving us with practically no water at all?

Barring nothing else, essentially yes.

When scientists bang on about climate change, why don't they ever mention the erosion of the ICe Wall? Surely, this should be brought into the public domain? I'm scared at this news.

I have another question about around the world travel. I once went from merry old England to New Zealand, via Singapore, then from New Zealand back to England via the US. How does this work? I thought i'd gone around the world. Was I wrong to think this?

In FET, the earth is roughly a circular disc. Now ask yourself: can you draw one circle within another circle? The answer of course is yes. Thus, one can travel 'around' the disc.

OK get that, but if the plane was always turning left or right how can the dollies get the trolleys down the aisle without any problems. Also, if you banking all the while to go "around" the world, surely one of your buttocks would hurt after a long-haul flight, having taken your weight for the whole journey. I have never experienced this. My views are in crisis. Help!

Well that?s really cheered me up.  So, if this ice wall melts we?re basically done for?  I for one will now leave my refrigerator door open all the time so I can make my own contribution to keeping the ice wall frozen.  I trust my fellow FE?ers will join me on my quest to save the ice wall.

Who says the plain is turning? And besides, how is this less problematic than a globe spinning on its own axis at 1000mph, and at the same time spinning around the sun at 67,000mph?

Have you been in a plane? When it turns from side to side the inside turns with it. Weird!

Astounding stuff. But in what way does your undoubtedly relevant example relate to whether the earth is a sphere or a plane?

And besides, how is this less problematic than a globe spinning on its own axis at 1000mph, and at the same time spinning around the sun at 67,000mph?

Why do you say that?  Are you afraid of large numbers?

First rule of history, do not speak of history.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Get a life Flat Earth Society members.

Yachtsmen, Bicyclists, Walkers, Drivers, Fugitives from the Law (I'm thinking Paul Francis Gadd here). Are they all liars? This thought has plagued me somewhat and gives me doubts as to the flatness of the globe.

Sir Francis Chichester - did he just sail around the Isle of Wight until he got dizzy or what?

The point has been made, but for the Blackadder II reference.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Possibly the 'less' in my post has misled you. I meant to say 'more'.

I'm just not sure why you find a globe spinning on it's axis at 1000 mph and orbiting around the sun at 67,000 mph to be problematic.

To be fair, that is not what I said.

But you did imply.  Argument by ridicule, or something like that I believe.

Not at all. I was simply asking him to explain why he found one scenario more plausible than the other. As you well know Markjo, the questions he is apply to both theories.

But his questions had nothing to do with the speed of the earth's rotation or it's orbit around the sun.  I don't understand why you brought them up.  That is unless you were trying to either ridicule RET or to derail the conversation.

His question made no sense. He was implying that the earth being a disk would cause all kinds of sensations due to the disk moving. I then pointed out that in RET the 'globe' moves quite a bit too, making his point redundant.
