How as an individual can I know if the Earth is a sphere or a flat disc? What experiment can I do that doesn't involve trusting information from a 3rd party that would prove what the geometry really is? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F1FL8pEp.jpg&t=665&c=PJ1cvsjRBof1yA) if earth is flat,the moon and sun must be light in every place,and nothing time difference each country,all around the world will day at same time,and night at same time. because earth is sphere,its why some country have different time zone,while in europe night in Asia was day. simple

Amazing how NASA's earth images changed over the years lol ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fronmamita.files.wordpress.com%2F2015%2F10%2F2015-how-bigisthe-earth_nasa.png%3Fw%3D605&t=665&c=lIsRtbIuXmEpyw)

No, I will not disclose my real name on the Internet. The very simple reason I’m anonymous is so that I can talk freely about a free web. One mistake people often make is having the faulty assumption that knowing my real name or my association with a respected person, group or organization might get them to trust me more. In fact, I have no authority here. Elastic Project is a loosely associated group of developers which constantly changes over time. If you prefer projects with a more centralized structure, then please move on. Specifically, I kindly ask you to refrain from any messages that try to convince me of the contrary. My time is too valuable to be wasted with the same discussion again and again.

The horizon limits the distance sunlight and moonlight will travel. If you understand how perspective works then it's easy to see how a small sun orbiting above the surface can create all the time zones.

Earth is round! we've been to space and have proof. Don't fool yourself
What proof can i ask? You do realize that we have never taken a photo of the whole earth at once, all the images on google are fakes made by nasa look yourself. You guys, this joke is getting old. Its just not funny anymore. But it is fun to talk your way around other people and their logic. It is good practice for learning to be a politician. Look at the 80% lies that Donald Trump tells, but he has learned to be a politician. The people love him and his lies, many of them not being able to see that they are lies and that he is a liar. Flat earth = good political practice. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

earth isn't flat, go to space and take a look, or sail a world, it's not medival ages anymore, how can you be so dumb, and to think that earth is flat
East/West circumnavigation is possible on the Flat Earth model. Scroll up and look at the United Nations map again. When you travel Eastwards your compass is at a right angle to North; hence Eastwards travel would curve around the North Pole and bring you back where you started. As an analogy, imagine that you are standing twenty feet from the North Pole. If you travel Eastwards where will your path take you? That's right. Your path takes you in a circle around the North Pole. It's 2016. Full hand transplants? Check. Cloning? Check. Quantum computing? Check. Traveling in a straight line without constantly turning in one direction? Way beyond our capabilities. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I just got a private message from "the joint", he's throwing in the towel on his advocation of spinning globe earth. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It's probably for the best as he wasn't going to win against the artificial horizon and gyroscopic compasses prove the earth is flat argument as that's where the planes flying in straight lines discussion was headed.

I engage in this thread because I work in the mental health field, and I'm exceptionally curious about where the line blurs between diagnosable psychosis as a result of chemical imbalance vs. a result of social influence (generally speaking). Edit: It's also a fun excercise in critical thinking, and I've learned a surprising amount when thinking about refuting some of the most absurd claims I've ever heard.

Naw, he's here 'cause I got him on cognitive dissonance and he figures he can fight it by trying to rationalize and promote the spinning globe fallacy. The more he goes over the evidence in his head for and against a spherical earth the deeper the cognitive dissonance becomes. It's gotten to the point now where he can no longer argue the subject and hopes if he ignores it and me it will go away.
The alternative is that he's a shill for the Tavistock Institute and knows the earth is flat but is incentivized to promote globalism.

...but the curve is going the wrong way in that video! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLCkAMRG.png&t=665&c=e1TUElqKHfu0ZQ) The options were flat or spherical, now you've gone and complicated things by offering evidence for a concave earth. This is just an effect of the lens on the camera, especially if the camera is moving or shaking. This can momentarily alter the image produced in the video.

I'm just goin' kick back and watch Batman smoke a joint while Doc pens his white paper that'll later win a Noble Prize in medicine.

How is it confirmed? If the world was flat, why can't I see all of earth a once?

Notice that SpaceX can't land their exhausted booster rocket on a barge at sea perhaps because the GPS relays are unreliable unlike the land-based GPS since there's no satellite GPSs.
