The earth is round. Some proof of this is, if you watch a boat sail away from the dock out in to the ocean, it will seem that the boat is sinking into the ocean. It isn't really but its doing this because the earth is round

Isn't low / high tide cycles convulsive evidence we don't have a flat earth but a round one? I've personally never understood who benefits by lying about the shape of our earth.

Serial attention whores.

20 Miles High Video. A typical commercial jet (most standard flights) cruises at around 28-35,000ft ( up to 6.6 miles of altitude).

question to flat-earthers. what will happen if you took a plane/ship and fly/sail past the edge of Earth?

I believe the thought is that the weather keeps you in. If you wouldn't get in trouble from the governments and get shot down first, lol. The temperatures are the worst in Antarctica, and the weather would probably crash the plane with winds. Just a thought. Wink

haha nice try, we would still be able to see the sun all day and night, it would just be closer or further, appearing larger during the "day" and smaller at "night".

Remember the sun (in the flat earth theory) is no where near as big as it is in the globe earth theory.

so how does the sun set? it would just appear smaller, which it does not.

I'm sure it's supposed to be like when people think a boat goes down when it gets farther away, even though it doesn't (as shown when you zoom in on the boat with a camera).

Do the trigonometry, for the earth to be flat and the sun to set it would have to be so close to the earth that if you flew a plane during the day you would fly so close to it that you would become icarus.

I'm sure that would depend on the size of the sun. From the videos I've seen, the sun (in the flat-earth theory) is much smaller than what you think it is. Also even though it's called flat-earth, obviously it's not flat, it's just not a globe, there are mountains etc. Tongue

I'm not trying to prove it to you. But I do know some things in the globe earth theory don't work. So who knows...

Naah, If you want to look at making flat representations of the earth you must study the master, Buckminster Fuller -

See this section on maps, Unfortunately the video is poor but sound is good.

Your post make little sense, the so-called mystery planet is called "Nibiru" and if the Flat Earth model is correct it would be nothing more than a wandering light in the sky. Keep in mind that space, planets starts etc as portrayed by NASA and the establishment are a total fabrication in the FE model.
