Is the earth flat?

The Earth isn't flat

No practical demonstrations of the affirmative claims of the globe using tangible substance there sorry mate.

OK then.....define "flat"

Nice work on asking for definitions, I ask but usually get ignored.

Do you mean "level"? If so, then sure:

No deviation in elevation from your starting point across to your following point

Well there's obviously flat PARTS of Earth as it were. It's by no means level you can see that quite easily and measure it easily. To me, "flat" in this context would mean the Earth would be a shape that has less depth to it than the sphere/globe shape.


So what kind of shape do you believe the Earth is?


I tend to believe it's a globe shape because I happen to have conversed with a few astronauts and what with the satellite images and all it just seems that it is....also having flown to Europe if the Earth was "flat" then why would the flight path arc? Shortest distance between 2 points on a flat surface would be a straight line, that would change on a curved surface.

You started so well, then fell off. You ask for a definition, I gave you my definition of level. Do you agree with that definition?

My enquiry is into the affirmative claim that we have all been born into and taught that we live on a globe. When I applied my attention to the globe model, I found it was pseudoscience. It was an image backed by sophisticated language, thats it, it's not an objective truth.

So you prefer to have faith in the words of others and images, rather than the physics of a tangible substance in your reality?
