Has anyone ever fallen off the edge of the world?  |
According to the programme the OP mentioned NASA employees guard the edge to stop people falling over it. Honestly. |  | |  |

By programme, are people watching the Truman show and thinking it's a documentary? |  | | |

Don't dismiss things so easily?
What, like the entire history of human knowledge? Dismissed on the evidence of something you can buy in Argos?
You're not open to new evidence for or against anything. There couldn't be more evidence that the Earth is a globe. You can bloody see it. I don't mean 'from NASA photos' I mean yourself.
As for your senses - if you're on a plane (I assume you've been on one?), and you walk up the cabin to the loo, do your 'senses' tell you you're walking at a normal speed, or do they tell you you're walking at over 600 mph to reach the loo? You know, to overtake the plane you're traveling on? Now what does that indicate about our senses? Could it be that because we are travelling at exactly the same speed as the Earth (what are the chances of that, thinking about it, I mean, that's a conspiracy theory right there!) that we 'feel' like we're not moving?
And if you want to go to Antarctica, there are any number of cruises where you can do just that,
See, you told me that I shouldn't have believed everything I was taught in school, whereas I think you should have listened a bit harder. |
I think the only plane he's been on is an astral one. It's close to the edge of the Earth but the buses operate a Sunday service.
Ding ding - all aboard! |  | | |

Just had a browse around the link in the OP. I was very dubious, but when I saw that Shaq is on-board, I'm beginning to come around. I mean, who can not be in awe of these wise words on the matter:

And the moon isn't a 'convenient' distance from earth, it's being thrown further away constantly and will eventually be ejected from the earth's orbit. | |

Well gravity would be different if it wasn't.
If the Earth was flat, you'd weigh more in the centre of the flat bit than you would at the edges. Those NASA guards must be anchored down or something. Gravity would pull you towards the centre. The fact that you weigh exactly the same wherever you are on the Earth means it's a sphere. I think, anyway. My physics isn't very good.
But as I said before, you can actually see it. That's the bit I don't get with these people.
You could see the curvature of the Earth quite clearly from Concorde (I haven't been on it, but I know many who have). And if you're flying trasatlantic particularly on one of those new planes, you can see it as well. Or you could just lie on the beach, watch the sun set, then climb up to the prom, or up a tree or something, and watch it set again. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 16:12]

When Felix whathisname did that 'space jump' for Red Bull, it was mentioned at the time how he was up so high the curvature of the earth could be clearly seen. I assume this was just another illuminati photoshop stitch-up?
Wait, is that a Nikon P900 in his leg pocket? the plot thickens...

And when I went to Vancouver, we flew over the Arctic. Or did BA just fly us to the edge of the earth for fun? | |

I was on a flight last week and watched that (again).
As an aside, the plane didn’t reach the wall at the side of the earth. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 16:54]

Well he has a BA in general Studies, an online MBA from the University of Phoenix who are a well known scam for student loans, and a doctorate in Human Resource Development, so he's not exactly Dr Brian Cox is he? | | | |

An interesting topic with some well constructed replies. I am firmly of the opinion that the earth is a sphere. I appreciate those who wish to pursue an alternative viewpoint even when they are entirely wrong. It is strange indeed though that there is even a socity dedicated to it despite overwheming evidence to the contrary. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 18:45]

The reason the earth looks curved in those photos is because they only ever use GoPro cameras to take them. If they used normal cameras we'd see it was flat.
Once again. Honestly.
Anyone who wants to listen to it from 2:38 on.

So if i go to one of these edges, the ones guarded by NASA employees, and then decide to throw a ball over the edge, what happens to the ball? |  |

No one knows cos “The Man” is hiding it from us.
There’s some A* level lunacy on this thread fair play. Rollicking entertainment. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 19:26]
