Nope -- that joke is based on the silly suggestion that misdirected people make about falling off of the edge of the earth. The intent of the humor is based on the visual nature of the relative positions of the boat and the water to the picture frame. It was not intended to have any particular or specific relevance to any factual information such as that which pertains to the ice wall.
You seem to think that I have no sense of humor whatsoever...???

Miri, honey - you are missing the point of the thread -- which is - proving the Earth to be spherical or flat - only using experiments that "every-day" people could conduct on their own - without simply trusting what NASA and other government-based organizations are putting forth.
All:
Do you think we could all possibly stay on topic?
Do you have any ideas of how the 'shape' of the Earth can actually be proven to an individual by an individual?

But it was funny because he went along the surface of the table in the video,when the sun is not going across the surface of the earth,but they say it is like 3000 miles above earth.
Which another thing,if the sun is like 3000 miles above earth it would appear like you could see it at all times,where it might be dark in your area,but you should still be able to see it's light in the distance,like someone can see a match or flashlight,or another form of light in the distance,especially if you were close to the middle of the earth,you be able to see the sun at all times,and if you cannot see it at all times,it would not appear like it would be dark for so long without seeing it.
The sun is that high up in the air,and we do not see it for like 12 hours at a time.It would appear like we could see it,and it would appear like it is coming more straight ahead for quite a distance instead of coming over the horizon.
Only wondering,for I fail to believe that if the sun is that high up in the air why we cannot see it for such a long time,especially those that are towards the middle where they have less miles on either side of them.
I believe if the sun is that high up I would see the light possibly at all times,although it would not light up the area I am at yet,especially if it is like 4 in the morning we should be able to see the light coming.

Because much of the "evidences of proof" for both 'Ball Earth' and 'Flat Earth' have a counterpart equivalent in the other model, the "real proof" in determining which model more closely represents the true nature of the world we live in rests in reasoning those things that are "different" in each model. Included in these things are other aspects to the issue than the 'scientific' consideration of the 'physical' nature of the world we live in.
While the Ball Earth model has a long-time established "foundation" based on the deeply-entrenched teachings of "modern science" upon all of society -- there are some very purturbing things in our history that simply cannot be ignored - that both allude and assert that there is an ongoing subversive attempt by "wicked rulers in high places" ( notation: Ephesians 6:12 ) to deliberately and purposefully conceal certain "truths" about the world we live in from society-at-large.
These are the things you should make serious study of if you want to determine the truth about the nature of the world we live in.
One of those things is Antarctica ( Richard Byrd expeditions, 50,000-60,000 mile "circumnavigation", etc. ). Look it up. Study it.

Let me put it bluntly, if you cannot explain a photo done by a man out of the
window of a space craft going to the moon, you have nothing, zero.
You can go to Nasa and the science museum in London and see the space craft
they used.
We have people going to ISS going round earth every 1.5 hours, with live TV.
Now for this to be fake, literally everyone is in on it, or it does not exist.
There are just no other conclusions. But if you have one, please do tell.

they can't explain anything, Peter.
they just lie, and twist the truth, and ignore all evidences and reason. all Gary or anyone else who denies reality will say is the photo must be fake.
"must be" because anything that clearly illustrates they have been deceived ((or are simply trolling, without any regard for truth at all)) can't possibly be real.
Good point. A site funded by the government, democratically elected to increase the knowledge
of the solar system and its exploration is actually interested in faking the shape of the world?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit
It is interesting looking at the distance around the earth a geostationary satellite needs to take
is 35k km from earth. At this point it stays over the same point on the surface as it rotates in
orbit around the planet. Now to calculate and get a physical object to the point, that drives gps
you have to spend enormous sums of money, build models and keep things running.
Now all these models are proven true because GPS works and the satellites stay in position.
Now if the earth was flat, this would not be possible.
Now on my phone I can get 7 of these satellites up and their positions. Odd that.

If someone got in a plane which was designed to fly round the world and they flew only in
one direction, how did they end up where they started if the earth is not round?
To be honest I thought all flat earthers had died out except in islamic nut houses.
It appears here on cc, they also live.
On a personal level, I know people who worked on the design of ESA rockets, and
got things into space, so if anyone would know it was fake they would.
You can even now see the foot prints on the moon, and bounce a signal off the moon
to measure how far away it is from earth very accurately.

This is a simple reality. I wonder why people want things to be different, but then who
I am to understand how people work inside.

As a person who regularly spends time on forums catering to what is affectionately referred to as the "lunatic fringe", I will testify that people holding a belief in a flat Earth are the least to be concerned about. Flat-Earthers are mostly a harmless bunch. It's the gaggle of folks that talk about Nibiru/Planet-X as well as the group that are convinced world leaders are reptilian shape-shifters that you need to worry about. Loony-tunes.

The Earth does not rotate; it is stationary, like the Bible says. The sun, moon, and stars move in a clockwise circular pattern above. The seasons are based on the pattern of the sun. Same answer for equator question. Last question already answered.
