The end of the flat earth theory. Everyone can go home and find a new hobby

there is not one mainstream, nor respected physicist who feels the same, not one, nada, zero, none, and I challenge you to present one that you haven't pulled out of a Flash Gordon novel. I actually lol'd at the quite simply it isn't real part

1.) Flash Gordon wasn't a novel.

2.) Your idea that mainstream science is somehow settled is humorously deluded. 

erm, yes it was, it was initiated as a graphic novel in 1936, then a whole heap of novels were released, I know, I have them, have a look here;

secondly, where did I state mainstream science was settled? and what does that mean, or imply?

so if your seemingly loose grasp of facts on such a basic principle as this are so easily proven to be fallacy, how can you propose any sort of theory that is diametrically opposed to proven scientific facts and expect to be taken seriously?

I would describe what you have as a novelization of a comic strip.

So what does your 'mainstream' description imply?  Unsettled?

oh would you indeed, but what's that got to do with you denying the existence of gravity?

and as for your pedantic point, if you carefully re-read, you'll see that I in fact presented the first Flash Gordon novel as a graphic one, so your moot point is moot

anyways, another nice example of a FE'er failing to answer a direct question and instead picking a pedantic point to try and somehow discredit the normal folks assertions. some would say it's blinded ignorance, I say it's as retarded as claiming the sea has no bottom (awaits shitstorm about bottomless seas that you've already latched onto as fact)

there is not one mainstream, nor respected physicist who feels the same, not one, nada, zero, none, and I challenge you to present one that you haven't pulled out of a Flash Gordon novel. I actually lol'd at the quite simply it isn't real part

Um. No. 

If you'd care to cite where I've ever declared that the sea is bottomless, I would be obliged but if this was just empty rhetoric, please don't bother yourself.

This is called a novel.

um, yes, or is your blind ignorance continuing into the real world printed right in front of you?

and yes, the rhetoric was to match the pedantic fail in your empty rebuttal, I clearly didn't state that you had claimed this 'fact' as your own, but you knew that before you typed it, didn't you?

Flash Gordon is a novel btw

explain this one then FE fail theorists

I love this body of 'evidence', ancient hand drawn maps are obviously more conclusive than actual photos of the planet, and what's with the suns rays bending to cover the earth? why must you break existing physical laws just to shoe horn your flawed and incorrect argument into reality, doesn't this tell you something?

So because the Earth rotates, it proves the Earth rotates?

Just wanted to point out this epic self pwnage on page 1 for those that missed it. Er...yes, dur.

Then why were we provided with a picture of something else? Oh you mean FES are trolls?

The picture was posted by a RE'er, and not an FES member. Why are you trying to discredit us by misattributing it to us?

I wouldn't say I'm an RE'er. I couldn't care less what shape the earth is (most likely to be flat, though). Although, The Ice wall does (allegedly, I've never been) extend a very long way beyond the rimward ocean, so it might hold the oceans in.
