I can't really say that I care.

I have reported your post for libel. I trust that the board staff will take appropriate action.

Good.
The Earth is round I am afraid

Do you have any evidence for this claim?
One can travel around the world from North to South, The Guiness Book of World Records has strict guidelines for these kinds of things, and as a successful company, is incredibly hard to keep quiet under your conspiracies.

plus half of you are calling me ignorant.

You are ignorant, not to mention arrogant. You think that it is possible to know the shape of the Earth for certain, and that you hold that knowledge.

Some call it arrogance, i call it pride. It is possible to know this. It has been proven by Johannes Kepler, i believe, either that or he proved that this system was impossible.

No one is flaming you, you just don't know how to debate. You lose.

You call that an argument?

What do you mean from north to south? Are you saying it isn't possible to travel from north to south in FE?
If you say that the earth is flat, you are destroying centuries of evolution.

The horizon is just how far you can see, which is influenced by many factors such as air density.

Also by the curvature of the Earth. Air is essentially transparent. No Earthly amount of air can completely obscure ones vision. Light-years away from us are several galaxies that we see in the night sky. are you claiming that they are all lying on the top of Earth's atmosphere? What makes Earth so special in that regard? Doesn't a more uniform universe make more sense from a scientific viewpoint.

According to most FE models, North-South circumnavigation is impossible due to an ice wall.

I am fairly skilled in the art of physics, and am skilled in debate.

I'm intrigued and would like to know more about the Art of Physics.  Is this a new field?

Do not mock me. I am more intelligent than almost anybody who supports Flat Earth seriously.
I have an IQ of 219 and a PhD in Science.

This "lying on the internet" thing sure is fun!

What school? What year did you recieve your Ph.D? What branch of science was you major? Why do you buy into all this crap about a flat Earth, or are you here to flame me as well?
I got it from the Science Academy. 1969 (*snigger*) I already told you, in Science. Because it is the logical choice, and
No one is flaming you, you just don't know how to debate. You lose.
You didn't answer my third question. What branch of science was your major. I am suspecting you to be lying about your credentials. Pics of your degree or it didn't happen, as you would put it.

Actually, air isn't transparent... you can't see forever. Also, you can't see galaxies several light years away... this is RET.

Earth is special. There really is nothing like it. It stands at the center of the universe and is the only thing in the universe that can support life. The entire universe exists for earth's benefit.

It wouldn't be possible in RET either, because in RET the earth is spinning horizontally.

It wouldn't be possible in RET either, because in RET the earth is spinning horizontally.

You clearly are not a scientist. You are not interested in the search for knowledge. There are several branches of Science, and in order to get a Doctorate, one must specialize. No one can have a doctorate in all branches of Science. Like I said earlier, you are a wannabe rebel, but are too afraid to do anything drastic.

You obviously do not know the basics of science. It is much to broad a topic to have expert knowledge in it all. I for one, specialize in Physics. As you claim to have a PhD, you must have a degree in Philosophy, and thus are not an expert in this field.
