Anonymous Coward User ID: 77935353 United States 08/27/2019 12:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Without NASA and globes in classrooms, all maps, especially those prior to the 1500's point to a flat earth. Since none of you are astronauts, every life experience you've had has been on a flat earth as well and you've NEVER seen a curve either, especially by plane. The ocean is level, the ground is level, buildings and mountains don't disappear at a distance, but more importantly than simply disappearing, but they don't alter their angle of declination as the distance increases. So for example, I can see NYC from a good distance out at the NJ shore and I'm standing at see level. At 20 miles away and accounting for the proposed circumference of the Earth, that curve is negligible, non-existant. That is, some one in the Empire State Building might only be .30% of 1 degree of the Earth's circumference at 24,901 miles. So any alignment, relative to the horizon or level ground would be next to impossible to see, especially with the naked eye. See into that window, from the shore, or vice versa, would be impossible to detect, not because of the optics required, but be viewing it would be in a direct line of sight and therefore again, no curvature, anywhere would be able to be discerned or registered. You walk flat, drive flat, sleep flat, swim flat and although you may ascend, descend and move across various hills and slopes, chances are, you've never walked or drove on a curve (and a banking inclined racetrack or similar is not the same thing). |

This would indicate a smaller but dedicated flat earth faction is present on this forum, but it was unable to expand and take over it. Thanks again for making the poll, you rock! |

As the Earth spins, the momentum causes it to be more Egg shaped. Not like an actual egg mind you for those with limited intelligence, who take words literally and think I mean like an actual egg. |

Within minutes, all the pieces are together and form a sphere. It's the most efficient way of stacking a group of anything together. The pressure of gravity pushing in from all sides forces this shape. Cold or hot has nothing to do with it. Gravity is space/time that's been displaced by any object. |
