A friend of mine believes that the Earth is flat. I challenged him to prove it by walking off the edge...

See ANY curve, = globe.. She flat folks... [/quote] Exactly as expected with a large globe Earth. Especially as your horizon is a circle the same distance from you in all directions. [/quote] Circles are flat. Feel like correcting yourself? Or are you saying it’s flat from the observer to the horizon? You’re all over the place. Much like someone who has never stood on a sphere. [/quote] I'm saying your horizon is the same distance from you in all directions. As it is the same distance there should not be a visible curve. [/quote] I agree with you. However the physical characteristics of a sphere do not. Nothing is flat on a sphere. Especially one that supposedly curves 8” per mile ^2 [/quote] When your horizon is the same distance in all directions the horizon will appear flat as the drop is the same in all directions. Not my fault that you can't understand that. [/quote] I understand it. You don’t understand the physics of a sphere. “Appear as flat” is ridiculous and if you lived on a ball it would be self evident. Especially one that is spinning at break neck speed Please, continue in your stupidity - it’s amusing [/quote] No, you don't understand it. And the spin has nothing to do with how it appears. But thanks for the humor! [/quote] Okay, you’re the one who believes in flat spheres. Good luck buddy! You’re spinning right now but not like the way you’re trying to promote. Why don’t you use a computer program and show us how a sphere horizon looks? Or do you want me to? [/quote] trying to put words in my mouth now? Hilarious! Please show us all how you think it should look. I could use a laugh. [/quote] How I think it should look? It’s a sphere or spheroid, not how I think it should look. You’re the idiot using a 2-D shape trying to describe how a 3-d horizon should appear. It’s flat. A sphere would be easily measure on the horizon or you’re not on a sphere. There are no straight lines on a sphere. Everything falls away from the point you stand on. This is basic physics. [/quote]
