Flat Earth Theory / Re: A New Idea of Gravity in the Flat Earth. Is It Valid?

Joshua, it should be clear: If gravity exists, something of the mass of earth would be round, for everything that deviates from this shape would behave like an oversized mountain: it would collapse to the direction of the center. So Gravity and FET cannot work together.

How do you presume to know the mass of the earth?

Well, she is huge and consists of heavy material. Don't know it's mass, but she's certainly heavy enough to require being round in case there is gravity in the sense of modern physics. Isn't that obvious?

Is it?  Why would it be obvious?

I think it's enough. Have fun!

Ok, I understand the trig.

but now, if the earth is flat, the messurement should give the same results for h, even if done on different places.

on the other hand, if the messurements give varying results for h when taken on different places, wouldn't that mean, that earth is round or at least curved?

if so, that is quite easy to check

I read the Wiki and browsed the forum a little, so I know the basic ideas. But is there any evidence to support them?

Is this concrete enough?

PS Sorry when I sounded arrogant or whatever. wasn't meant so.

Basic trig shows us that the Sun is about 3000 miles away.

And how?

actually...no....it's FE General, not FE Q&A.

The idea of a FE has my sympathy, donno why. But is there any evidence?

Just the Conspiracy thing I can't really swallow. Isn't that very improbable?

I like the idea that earth is flat! But I'm afraid, she is rather round. So come on, convince me!

Wow. That's my first post. It's so exiting. Me from Malaysia you know.
