Well, actually the Earth itself isn't perfectly round. There's shit like mountains and countries that makes the cirkel imperfect.

Eratosthenes measured the circumference of the Earth in 240BC, and got a result that is just a few % from the known value today.

I love it when people twist evidence to fit their retarded ends rather than accepting the fact they are wrong. It's people like this, who are so stubborn and stupid who are holding us back. It reminds me of creationists who believe the wolrd was made in seven days. Ill try and find something on the site for actual debate, it's hard though, its just too ridiculous for words.

Edit: incase anyone doesnt understand, light does not bend upwards away from earth and its gravity (which a lot of flat earthers believe is caused by the constant acceleration upwards by the disk upon which we live).

Haha that's just lame! However, it did make me think a little; I've never been to space and seen the Earth with my own eyes, I've only seen satelite photos etc. so I can't really know for sure that Earth is round. Still, I think I'll stick to the most logical suggestion; round

Isn't it a trip... we don't really know what's in the center of the earth.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but all they did to prove the layers of the erath was shoot some kind of wave through it, see how the wave refracted at different depths, and came to the conclusion that the angle of the refracted wave meant it was __ material at __ density.

But... it could be anything.

The earth could be alive.

.......

Forealz, though.

I can't believe there's people out there that actually believe the Earth is flat. I did a little bit of digging on the "flat earth society" forum, and I found THIS to be a "map" of the "flat earth":

In four dimensions the earth is a worm.

Woah, what happened to Asia? The whole world but Asia is on that map

They even gave each continent a color of its own so it's easier to see that Asia is missing..

There's now a wall of ice and a turtle? OH I get it now!!! It all makes perfect sense to me, yes yes with an ice wall and a turtle the two missing links are filled in!! This is an incredible discovery, I'm convinced now the Earth is flat! It just has to be true.

I'm glad you now see the truth. Now spread the message.

Psh, you guys could be thinking about the double slit wave particle results instead of debunking the flat earth society.
