I’m new to the Flat Earth Theory, and I was wondering how thick the Earth is, and its approximate circumference.

They have no idea how thick the Earth is. The circumference of the globe is 24901 miles.
-
We don't know the thickness of the earth, or the circumference the ice wall extends for 100s of miles where light is lost and no human has ever been. So the circumference is something that can't be explained.
-
We know it is at least 13km thick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole It is hard to be exact. We just don't have the data.

If no one has ever been there, how do YOU know it exists??

Know what exists? The ice wall? The reports and pictures of it are a bit of a giveaway.

Please show me a picture of the ice wall. Also, what reports? You said, "ice wall extends for 100s of miles where light is lost and no human has ever been"

And the ice wall extends for hundreds of miles as described by Dr Rowbotham.

Did he see the ice wall himself?

I don't know if Dr Rowbotham did but I've linked to a picture already and there have been many sources from people like captain cook who were unable to progress past the ice wall.

How much distance does the ice wall cover in the image you linked?
-
It goes all around the circumference of the earth.
-
Assuming the earth was once round and then made flat, we could make a guess at thickness like this ...

That's not what i asked.

What do you mean then? How far does it stretch? Hundreds of miles, but we can't accurately give an exact mileage as there's no light and hurricanes rage and temperatures plummet to levels no living thing can tolerate.

What I mean is that you need to provide evidence for your claims.
-
Well you asked for evidence of the ice wall before and I posted it and you dismissed it.

No, you posted a picture of some ice in one particular location. That's much different than an ice wall encircling the entire planet.
-
And I've already said before you can't get a photo of an ice wall surrounding the world.

Right. So how do you know that the ice wall surrounds the world? There's absolutely no empirical (or zetetic, whatever you prefer) evidence of an ice wall that surrounds the entire world.
-
Because of photos taken at different points. Not all of those photos are taken in the same place. In the age of sail, Captain Cook sailed around the ice wall and was unable to progress.

You might want to consider your sources there.
Anyway, Captain Cook sailed around Antarctica. You're right about that!
-
That source doesn't matter, I just grabbed the first link I saw since it just said what Cook did. Nice to see you acknowledge he sailed around Antarctica, shame your unaware he was unable to progress past the ice wall.

Newsflash: Antarctica is a continent. You cannot sail over a continent.
You sure can fly over it, though, and folks have done that several times!
-
Your missing the crucial point, in that its an ice WALL, of course you can't sail over it. I've even told you that basic face before.
Now you prove someone's flown over it. Show footage of someone flying over it, not just a little part.

See for yourself! Get your empiricism on!

People cross the Antarctic all the time. Here's a story with several people you can look up: https://www.wired.com/2016/02/people-cross-antarctica-all-the-time-its-still-crazy-hard/
And here's information on the first flight across Antarctica: http://www.royalaviationmuseum.com/2596/first-flight-over-antarctica/
Here is footage from an Antarctic flight (from the folks I linked previously -- you can get yourself on one of these flights!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qS_ShexHd0

No no no no no.
People can only fly so far over the ice wall before they can't get any further. It's also possible pilots are being lead to believe they are flying over and are actually coming back on themselves. So what you posted is not definitive proof.

That makes no sense. We have GPS coordinates and a WGS-84 model, are they wrong?

How are they coming back on themselves if they are reaching a destination on the other side?
Also I thought they got turned away by the government or something like that, wasn't that the previous excuse?

GPS is manipulated to make pilots think they are flying over it but they are not.

They aren't reaching the other side.
And the government don't need to turn commercial aircraft away due to rigging GPS.

Yes, they are. You can choose not to believe it, but that doesn't change the facts.

Which government?

We are all still waiting for any facts from you. You are big on claims, very short on any sort of proof. A picture of a small section of a small ridge of ice is your "ice wall." Please tell us how "the government" blocks a 20k+ mile border. Where are all the soldiers coming back with tales from the wall?
