No, the earth is not flat

If the Earth was flat and people managed to get a picture of that, there would be droves of people claiming it was photoshopped much like how the flatearthers claim globe Earth photos are faked. I say just flip a coin and pick what you want to believe. It doesn't really make a difference either way. P.S. - the Bible doesn't confirm or deny flat earth.

The lack of proof of a flat earth is much simpler to prove. The fact that nobody has seen this ice wall that is supposed to surround the earth is plenty of proof.

If this ice wall did exist there would almost certainly have been thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people that would have shown proof of it.

This ice wall could not be hidden from 99.9% of the population.

Proving that the Earth is flat has to be done theoretically. That's what all proofs are, in reality. In any of the seven disciplines. The Earth can be proved flat in a fallacious geometry. It's the one Euclid defined and expounded on, minus the fifth postulate, and adding (which can be derived in absentia of postulate five) one triangle similarity proof. It was Rimann who first subtracted the parallel postulate and Lobachevsky who first added Angle Side Side. At least most people think so. It's "modern math" or in the lyrics of the profound (and maybe a bit profane) Tom Lehrer, New Math. Lehrer also thinks that Lobachevsky plagiarized, and I've heard attempted proofs before, but they all rely on grammar, and are not specifically geometrical.

You wanna see the ice wall? You've got the internet and eyeballs, pal!

Actually, it could be done experimentally by proving what is really behind the phenomenon we describe as "gravity" ...or stuff falling.

The consensus view says it's mass attracting mass, but this cannot be demonstrated here on Earth's surface and there are some huge problems with the concept. One being that the strong and weak nuclear forces that hold matter together are way stronger than gravity, leading to some imbalances in the physicists' math. There needs to be more mass in the universe and there simply isn't. This is why there is a desperate search to find dark matter and dark energy, because 95% of the theorized mass in the universe is simply missing under the heliocentric model.

But there's another explanation for gravity, and amazingly it's build upon demonstrable facts that the mainstream accepts. I'm not going to talk about it right now, since I just saw an experimental proof of it yesterday and need some time to process things.

Basically you can reverse gravity by changing the polarity of the electrostatic field that surrounds us.

Oh boy a YouTube video! Now I'm convinced.

Such is the delusion FE people suffer that they use pictures of Arctic ice shelves and say that is the wall. The only problem with that is the "wall" is only at the poles. Fly from Singapore around the equator. You will land back in Singapore. You will encounter no ice shelf.

yeah lol i'm always like, um, that wall has clearly visible land on top of it extending past the frame of the photo, so...

beyond the dome! the final frontier!

i mean we could post youtube videos too.
but then it would cease to be a conversation/discussion. it'd just be a string of advertisement.

as previously stated IMO posting videos to make your argument is a cop-out, and demonstrates that the poster does not have a working knowledge of the material. it's insulting to the reader to tell them to go watch a video if you are capable of formulating the logic yourself. it dehumanizes the entire concept of 'forum'

i will not watch any of their videos. i am here to talk to people, not to commercials.

Yeah, babies won't eat their veggies unless they are all mashed up and spoon fed to them either.

There is no need to throw petty insults. It only demonstrates that you are too emotionally invested in the discussion, and should take a break.

It was never a real discussion, but yes, I have unfollowed this thread.

Exactly as flat earthers would predict. *Slow clap*

Yeah, babies won't eat their veggies unless they are all mashed up and spoon fed to them either. Any other arbitrary limitations to this "discourse" that you would like to lay on the table now?

Seems to me you're not interested in actually examining anything that goes contrary to your chosen ideology.

Now I am completely confused. You can circumnavigate the globe except it is not a globe?
