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

It's very easy to prove flat, Simply hold a straight edge up to the horizon, if it's flat, level, straight = earth flat. See ANY curve, = globe.. She flat folks...
Quoting: blue leaf 11852964 straight edge: [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] I grabbed one of the guys and tried to hold him up to the horizon. He was furious fighting me and at the end I gave up and released him. Do you have any other prove for a flat earth? Even if you get a small guy, it's difficult to hold them up to the horizon, they just won't stay level. Notice no counter argument from u.. There is none... BOOM How long is a "straightedge" (yes, sometimes orthography matters)? 30 centimetres? May be 50 centimetres? Now tell me: What is the angular size of a straightedge, held at arm length, at the horizon? How many kilometres or what part of the circumference of earth does that represent at the horizon? What's the height of the resulting circular segment? Should you be able to see it? I hope you can do some simple trigonometry (but I guess "no" - otherwise you wouldn't be a flattard). . The onus of proof is on you, and use a meter rule as close to you eye as possible, that way you'll take in hundreds of miles. Go!! lol
