I think the best way to prove how it's impossible for the earth to be flat is just by looking at gravity..
It's always down.. on a sphere that would be the case as the centre of mass of a sphere is always below you but that isn't the case if the earth is flat.

Have i ended the discussion.. Is it over? Have i slayed Goliath? Am i a god? who knows..

No, because card_sultan will now play his "please prove that gravity is real" card.

You cannot win against him. He's too well versed as a troll, knows all the answers to all questions, and knows exactly when to act dumb so as to not have to acknowledge your facts.

This a classic example of reverse logic, Eratosthenes had to assume the Earth was round and that the sun must be far far away.

If the Earth is flat (which it is) you can use the same numbers and calculations to prove the sun is only 4000 km away.

Eratosthenes also had to assume sun rays 800km apart are completely parallel which of course they are not, they are called Crepuscular and you can see that effect from every light at night - local and outwardly propagating.

You can also prove the Moon is only 3000 miles away by not assuming the Earth is a ball which has never been proved by taking the angle the are away from the horizon, knowing the differce between the two point and using basic trigonometry, the only differnce between the Moon being 3000m away or 240k miles away is if you assume the earth is round.

To me this is the beginning of circle jerk logic

Q: How do you know the Earth is ball ? A: Because the Sun is far away.
Q: How do you know the Sun is far away? A : Because the earth is a Ball.

You give tard_sultan too much credit. He really is stupid.

card believes gravity is a lie made up by nasa

Aww, mad cause I wont blindly accept a photo from Nasa, :P Are you sure who is stupid?

Gravity has never been proven, no one ever saw Cavendish's experiment, they only read about it in his journal after he died.
In his experiment he claimed he had to be a mile away or else his only gravity would alter the result, but that has stopped a class ful of student thinking they can see something with a model.

The reason things fall can easily be explained with density and buoyancy.

An atoms position in a system is based upon its density in relation to the surrounding densities and the changes in magnetism, electricity and temperature. Density is the most important function in determining the position of an object.
Density is not just mass and volume, it is the vibration intensity within a volume in relation to the density of the surrounding medium.

The ludicrous thing is that you think we scientists are trying to prove the existence of gravity? You have no idea what science is about. Period.
