Of the flat earth map.

What's on the bottom side of that if I flip that peice of paper over.

Thanks in advance.

Flat Earth Theory / Going Around the Globe

« on: December 15, 2016, 12:15:13 PM »

I can't believe in a flat earth theory for the following reason.

When I fly from NYC to India. I can go home one of two ways. I can go West back to NYC. Or I can continue East and I will wind up in NYC that way as well. The latter option would not be possible if the earth was flat.

And by the way, if you believe the earth is flat, where can one go to see the "edge" of it? I've never heard of such a place, and the world is pretty well traveled by now.

In my example above I should have flown right off the edge into open space! But I don't! I "wrap around". Clearly I'm on something spherical if I go one way and wind up back where I started. I don't think there's any room for doubt here and maybe this forum should close down as a result of this post.

If I'm wrong please tell me where I'm wrong but this is my current view love it or leave it.


P.S. If it's a "disc". With countries on both sides. You are essentially saying there's no curvature. Except at a certain point there's LOTS of STEEP curvature and then no curvature again. This would be noticeable when flying on a plane. The pilot would essentially need to change directions when he hit the curvature point. He'd have to nosedive 45 degrees every time he flew over that curvature point and I know of no place on earth where such a maneuver is necessary. If you think it's a disc, you should know which countries are on the curvature and it should be very easy to see from there a boat losing sight of it, over a very short space. Nobody has found such a location on earth.
