Can you personally prove the Earth isn't flat?

MyNameIsCharlie · April 15, 2016, 06:27:16 PM

Have you been into space, or are you just taking someone's word on it?

Bendy light debunks the claim that the apparent curvature of the earth proves it's not flat. Those guys have an answer for everything.

i've always wondered about the vehement deniers of a spherical earth, and it's just like, why?

just, why?

Doctor Doom · April 15, 2016, 06:46:09 PM

I'm in space right now.

I've flown all over the planet and never once seen the edge.

Nor have I heard of ships falling off the edge.

Also, if the earth were flat, the oceans would run off the sides.

an impenetrable ice wall, hundreds of miles thick and guarded by NASA employees, separates the edge from the rest of the world

plane navigation had been tampered with so it reads planes' as going in a straight line around the earth when in reality they travel in a circle above the earth

NASA's been around since the formation of the oceans?

i dunno man, i think they're there to kill people who make it to the wall to prevent the truth from getting out

Super Irish · April 15, 2016, 07:40:49 PM

Yep.

Just cover the costs of a flight to the Equator, a Big Book of Maths™ and an astronomical Sextant, and I can.

More Than Mortal · April 15, 2016, 08:01:18 PM

Yeah. One time I fucked your mom so hard she flew off and hit me in the back about thirty seconds later.

Because when you hit the edge of the earth you simply invert and now travel on the reverse side of our two-dimensional axis square planet. You don't really feel ot though because of how gravity works, and you don't see a sharp end or corner because of bending light.

that wasn't directed towards Charlie, if that's what you're assuming

Am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world.
Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · April 15, 2016, 08:57:57 PM

yep i actually can prove it

Word Wizard · April 15, 2016, 09:01:56 PM

It wasn't easy...but with the help of good ole Euclidean geometry I was able to do it.

snee0rp · April 16, 2016, 04:42:14 AM

I can see the horizon.

BaconShelf · April 16, 2016, 05:00:51 AM

You don't need space travel to prove it.

A Cheese Potato · April 16, 2016, 06:00:49 AM

If the Earth was round, why doesn't it roll away?

Luis · April 16, 2016, 06:47:31 AM

I went up a hill, hills arent flat

Kitsune 狐 · April 16, 2016, 01:50:48 PM

Yes. I can prove that the world isn't flat.
