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

Excellent well thought out response.
Still, the proof bit...........nope, still nothing.
Quoting: BTBIC 6660082 Tell me what you would accept as proof? Practical demonstration of the claims made. Simple. No pseudo science. OK - one mile of fishing line tied between two points at water level on a calm lake, pull tight and the middle will lie at 8" below water level. Alternatively a gyro with it's spin axis aligned with the earth will show no 'apparent' precession - all others will. Pendulum in N. hemishere will 'precess' oppositely from one in south. There you go - document these experiments and make yourself famous if they don't work as I say. If water curves 8" over a mile it could be demonstrated to curve in a fish aquarium. So instead of trying to do a ridiculous 1 mile fishing line across a lake - just show us the miniscule curve in the aquarium
