"Yes if you are looking at a paper map of the earth xxx
Have you ever been on an aircraft of any type ??? "
Yes and the only curvature i saw was caused by the concave window. Works similar to a go pro.
I watched some videos and they're freaking me out...  |

Depends how high you go Hun xx there are arguments on both sides that are just as convincing x but given my background (career) and what I have seen I tend to lean towards the flat earth theory being a load of rubbish xx |

There is a mirror left on the moon more of a reflective lenses in essence, but there there and you can measure the distance between the moon and earth with the correct equipment x
Do you believe we have been to the deepest part of the ocean ? The Mariana trench ?? If so it is more difficult to get there than it is to reach the moon xxx |

But how does combustion and propulsion in a vacuum? No oxygen, no air pressure to push against...

It's rocket science babe lol xxx the fuel mix used is liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen mix that is highly combustible and gives of huge amounts of thrust without the need for oxygen as they are rockets not jets xxx is alot more complicated but that's a general idea xx |

The moon is moving away from us at a rate of 3.78 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year. In addition, the moon also exerts a tiny pull on the tidal bulge and because the moon is slightly behind the bulge, it slows the rotation of the Earth by about 4 hours every billion years!  |

No. If it was a flight from Australia to Chile would take longer than a flight from the UK to Australia (if you believe the flat-earthers 'map' of the world). It doesn't. |

"Seriously, is it?  "
No of course it isn't.
People claiming that it is are just playing to conspiracy theories and the part of humans that love a mystery.
If it was flat, someone would have found the edges by now
Don't believe everything you read or see OP.
It's a hoax claim.

I don't think we meant to the moon or at least we didn't go to the moon as people we may have sent craft to the moon but unmanned . The van Allen belts make it impossible for humans to go there. Also there is video of Neil Armstrong creating an effect out of the window on a certain date which meant that given the distance to travel they wouldn't have been able to way to the moon. Given the date of the video and there distance to the moon . With regards to flat earth I am unsure . I think it makes a lot of sense but without nipping up to take a look I don't think we will get a definitive answer for a while yet . Over 500 years ago you would be ridiculed for saying it was a sphere now you are ridiculed for saying it's flat so I don't think we are sure yet in my opinion I have seen both sides of the argument and researched both thoroughly and I don't think anything convinces me one way or the other so we shall see |

I doubt the Earth is flat. I don't think we landed on the Moon. Maybe in later years but the USSR put animals then a man into space. The USA had to beat that during the Cold War so faked a Moon Landing. The film "Capricorn One" adds credence to the faked Moon Landing. Also photographs purportedly taken on the Moon with Astronauts in make no sense (Google that) and atop all that, the technology used to apparently go there is the same tech used in the modern pocket calculator...
I believe that a rocket was sent up. Unmanned and the Astronauts were filmed at Area 51...
Silly theory perhaps but that's my view... |

I have often considered setting up a kickstarter to crowdfund a scientific investigation into the shape of the earth.
The idea would be we would send up a weather balloon or similar craft that would reach just high enough. Different tiers would allow people to supply their own cameras and recording equipment. Higher tiers would allow you to be an on-site observer of the entire process.
Unbiased, (pseudo)scientific and should collect enough verifiable evidence to put the entire debate to rest.
Plus I get rich. Win, win. |

Flat earthers.. Man, they walk among us. Mind you. Gotta hand it to them for clinging on to total twaddle when the overwhelming evidence over decades shows it's a globe. Heck even observing other planets by telescope shows they're globes, and we've seen the earth from the moon , also there's no end of junior school science projects that have sent a go pro into the air under a helium balloon and shown quite clearly the earth curvature. Hehe... Flat earth. Lol... Yep..and the world is ruled by lizard illuminati elite too... |

The earth is flat,
Mans not been to the moon,
9/11 was an inside job,
The world is ran by the Rothschild
The titanic was sunk by a laser
The pyramids built by timetravlers
And the dinosaurs were put there by god to confuse archeolgists for fun...
All wonderful theories and only 1 has any actual merit....
If in doubt research, research and research more...make up your own mind

"I suppose the question is does it affect your life either way?
I have said this to friends it's not like it changes much really either way "
Well It depends if you like to watch satellite tv or use gps to get to places. Cos I'm not quite sure how those things work if the world is flat.
Do flat earthers believe in satellite tv? |

Of course the earth isn't flat and of course we went to the moon."
you'd hope so, wouldn't you!
In an age where more people, have more access, to more information, than ever before,it amazes me that some of them seem determined to drag the rest of the world back into the dark ages..gulping down disinformation and so called conspiracy theories, regurgitating them again even more outlandish than before.. |

No you don't need to know how things work, and you can believe anything you want to believe. But when someone comes along and points out that your beliefs are wrong and gives tangible evidence of why backed up by demonstrable facts you have to question why you are clinging to those beliefs.
Also have to accept the fact that you will have the piss ripped out of you. |

Flat Earthers have an amazing way of avoiding questions that question their theories - I (D) challenged one to answer some simple questions such as how do compasses work, why does water rotate in different directions depending on which side of the equator you are on, how do you keep millions of pilots and sailors quiet about it? All questions were answered in true political style that actually answered a different question - he ended up storming away. |

Simply: no

At the risk of looking like an idiot for biting it indeed does.
When water is drained through something like a plug hole it rotates in a different direction depending on which side of the equator you are on, if you are bang on the equator it does not rotate. |

Actually water down a plug hole or toilet doesn't spin differently depending on which hemisphere you are in, the size and shape of the toilet or sink in question had much more effect on the waters direction of flow than does the carrioles effect. Now if you are talking about the way that weather systems move then you would be right. Stand with your back to the wind and the low pressure area into which the wind is trying to get to will be on your left. In the Southern Hemisphere it will be on your right. |

Neither jet engines, nor rockets push agaist the air. Newton applies: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Jets and rockets throw stuff out of the back. The equal an opposite reaction causes them to move forward. |

No it doesn't?!.
The Coriolis effect has no (such tiny tiny effect) it really honestly doesn't.
Now if your bucket was a few hundred miles wide it might but even then not enough to counter any occurring currents |

You get cyclonic and anti cyclonic weather systems in both hemispheres.
The only weather patterns effected by Coriolis are hurricanes and cyclones which spin in opposite directions.
There both born on the equator (doldrums) and depending wether they move North or south the Coriolis will determine rotation |

Is idiocy. (P.S. The video of Neil faking the window shot is conjecture, it's just an overdub by some man claiming something is a miss. Be open minded, but no so open minded that all manner of shite falls in. |

Not quite as a quick google search says this
Five hundred years ago, most scientists said the world was flat. Most people believed them because the Earth did indeed look flat. The new ”model” of a round Earth was based on mathematical calculations that they could neither touch nor understand. |

Also there is video of Neil Armstrong creating an effect out of the window on a certain date which meant that given the distance to travel they wouldn't have been able to way to the moon. Given the date of the video and there distance to the moon . With regards to flat earth I am unsure . I think it makes a lot of sense but without nipping up to take a look I don't think we will get a definitive answer for a while yet . Over 500 years ago you would be ridiculed for saying it was a sphere now you are ridiculed for saying it's flat so I don't think we are sure yet in my opinion I have seen both sides of the argument and researched both thoroughly and I don't think anything convinces me one way or the other so we shall see
Too much to correct here but you don't have to go through the van allen belt, It is a donut shape - you literally go through the hole. Also the reason why people thought the earth was flat 500 years ago, is because we had maps & the eye, no scientific equipment to measure it. We now have these crazy things called planes, they fly, around the globe & satellites, check out the Japanese one that takes a pic of the earth every 10 minutes online. Saying "we used to be laughed at for thinking it was sphere like, & now we're laughed at for thinking it's flat - so I don't know."
Is idiocy. (P.S. The video of Neil faking the window shot is conjecture, it's just an overdub by some man claiming something is a miss. Be open minded, but no so open minded that all manner of shite falls in. .
Not only are they lacking in science but also history!.
Hellenistic astronomy was over 2000 years ago not 500, nobody of any brains at all except for religious crack pots thought that the earth was flat 500 years ago!
Not quite as a quick google search says this
Five hundred years ago, most scientists said the world was flat. Most people believed them because the Earth did indeed look flat. The new ”model” of a round Earth was based on mathematical calculations that they could neither touch nor understand."
.
No they didnt, it had been fully understood with good evidence for a sphere for over 2000 years, Columbus knew it, he was sailing for India, Newton took the spherical earth even further with his Principia.
The only people that held on to a flat earth were dogmatic religions and its followers and of course some people who just feared being persecuted by the church so just nodded and went, oh yeah what ever you say  |

"Columbus reached the new world in 1492 so that's 525 years ago "
.
Yeah coz he knew like most others did that the world was a sphere..
500 BC was the first Greek account for a spherical earth, there'd even worked out the circumstance by 250bc.
Solar eclipses, the moon, star positions and differences, distance viewing at height.. Everything pointed to a sphere, this is recorded history not science theory |

I am talking about wildly accepted across the world the sphere was first pushed heavily as the answer around 500 years ago . I am not saying it's flat or sphere |

The circumference was calculated by Eratosthenes. He got it quite close given how difficult it was to measure long distances then.

I am aware of this but again it's only been widely believed across the world for around 500 years |

"Also if the world is flat why don't airplanes fall off the edge, or for that matter why don't the oceans drain. Seriously please explain. "
Just because you dont know the answer or can't explain it, it doesn't mean it's true. |

Of course its flat and here's the proof:
You're on a boat in the middle of the ocean. If the earth was round you would see the curve of the horizon. If you turned 90 degrees you would again see the curve of the horizon. So if you only turned 45 degrees you should see a dip between the two curves - but you don't, so it must be flat! |

its got a lip going all the way around to stop the water from draining. The planes are fitted with a gps to keep them away from the edges it's one explanation |

"Seriously, is it?
Do you know that the Flat Earth Society has thousands of members scattered around the Globe?
Cal"
This was mentioned in about post 3 yesterday- sooo out of touch with modern thinking! |

Round....flat....
What's the bloody difference, yer both wrong.
It's elliptical, like an egg due to the effects of the gravitational pull of the sun..
Come on, what's wrong with you people? This isn't the middle age you know..
Right, now that's answered, I'm off to sacrifice a Virgin to the god Ramantiti, the bright burning one in the sky, to appease him so he doesn't send pestilence my way...
Erm, anyone know where I can find a Virgin around here? |

Well there was one guy kept posting looking to lose his virginity, not seen him in a while, perhaps it worked... My gods have given up on virgins now, they settle for burning a bit of pongy bark, and a glass or 3 of vino. |
