what is the proof that the earth is flat

There is NO proof that the earth is flat.

Not one piece of evidence has ever been presented by a flat earther, that proves the earth is flat.

Any why not?

For the simple reason that it's VERY hard to prove something that is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY false.

THE EARTH IS A SPHERICAL PLANET THAT IS IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN - END OF STORY.

That's interesting that you didn't address sliceofpi's question.

Obviously you have no answer. But of course the question is moot - there is NO proof whatsoever that the earth is flat.

There isn't.

Ships sinking over the horizon prove it, because that's what you expect to see on a flat earth. The horizon being lower than 180 degrees when measured by theodolite also proves it, because that's what you'd expect to see on a flat earth. Rotation of stars around two celestial poles also adds to the evidence, because that's what you'd expect to see on a flat earth. The sun rising and setting due east and west on the equinoxes proves it, because that's what you'd expect to see on a flat earth. Neutrinos passing down through the ground in a straight line and emerging elsewhere on the surface proves it, because that could only happen on a flat earth, couldn't it?
In fact, flat earth fits so well with absolutely everything we observe, it's surprising that you are asking where the proof is. 

There are 200 proofs  to start with.
Many of them Maths based so Math would need to be wrong to disprove.

No, you can not be this dumb. I sure hope this was sarcasm.

If earth was flat, ships would not sink below the horizon. That is what happens on a flat surface, things stay level.

Polaris and sigma octantis are the pole stars directly aligned with earth's rotational axis, north and south. If earth was flat, there would only be one polar star not two.

The sun would not set on a flat surface, if it did there would be night everywhere, it would fade and never go below the horizon.

I dont know anything about neutrinos exept that they travel at lightspeed, wierd things happen when you approach light speed.

My point is these are not proof, if anything they confirm round earth.

Yes, it was sarcasm. My point was that we see plenty of things we wouldn't expect to see on a flat earth, yet the FE'ers can present no examples of things we wouldn't expect to see on a round earth. Not one. Therefore, this logic provides backup to the statement higher up in the thread that a flat earth cannot be proved, thus answering your question.

The only place where posting  anything other than flat earth questions and answers is the Debate section.  As I understand the rules of The Flat Earth Society.

I really shouldn't be here. This is no place for round earth realists who work with round earth realities every day and make them work.

Why would you post anything but questions and answers about the flat Earth in the Flat Earth Q&A forum?  You would have to be pretty dumb to not understand what the tittle of this forum means.
