    @luvgonzo Gotta admit, the flat earth theory does raise some interesting questions all the same, even if one doesn't buy it at all.

    At the equator, you are moving seriously fast but gravity keeps you on the ground, yet the same gravitational force at the poles, but far slower rotation, seems to make no difference. I never looked into why its like that, I don;t think its cos the earth is flat, but am interested in an answer

    I actually did the experiment with a string and a ball, and you fly off the equator well before you fly off near the pole.
    So, the gravitational force should be greater near the pole, in my basic model, and it isn;t.

    Never really found an answer to this simple question.

    I think we move at 1000kph at the equator
    Right at the north pole (center of rotation, not geographical) you are traveling at 0

    I'd buy that if, as I do suspect, gravity is merely EM-like force at sub atomic level, which would explain why its weak.

    :D

    When the yanks killed saddam = all the world was shown

    When the yanks killed gaddafi = all the world was shown.

    There's apparently more than 10 million people around the world that believe in flat earth,

    10 million. Surely just one of them could find an edge and take a photo for us.

    I do like your thread. It's brought all forms of species out.

    Why go to Antarctica? If the world is flat they could find an edge anywhere.

    including the other side of the spectrum, lazy uninformed vs just believe weak evidence types

    Each as bad as the other

    Thanks for confirming my previous post <laugh>


    You don;t know flat earth theory, so how can you argue against it :D

    The earth as the flat earthists see it, though the only thing re this they claim that is veritably true is, you need permission to go there from the respective governments
