Try and stay on topic . . . none of this relates to the world being a regular pentahedron.

if the world was flat, there would really be any horizon.

uh huh, that's called perspective, theres even a horizon in a room

The people in the thread are arguing that NASA hasn't been to the MOON (the moon is not space) in 1969. You see there is a difference between going into and orbit around the Earth, and going to the moon. I don't suppose they teach you about the Van Allen Belt in kintergarden?

Guess they dont teach basic astrophysics in high school either. Anything outside the earths atmosphere is classes as "space", and the moon is most deffinatly not within our atmosphere. And the Van Allen belt would not inhibit the possibility of people leaving earths atmosphere or passing beond these radiation belts as there are areas where the radiation is almost zero and wld have little to no effect on a human or the space exploration technology.

I hate all you moon landing conspiracy theorists, 12 men have walked on the moon, not only the original apollo 11 crew. For every great achievement there are a thousand seperate claims that it didnt happen or that it was just made up, the fact that people have nothing better to do than slander and pick holes in some of the greatest people of our time is quite sad.

i see no horizon in this room. there would be. but admittedly, it would be a lot further away than 10 od miles if you climbed a building. no?

if the earth was flat there would be no horizon (supposing it were completely flat, i.e. if you look at a mountain you're gunna get a horizon :p but lets use the sea since we dont have this complication)

on a round earth, at see you have a horizona, even if you look at the horizon with a telescope able to look at distant galaxies, you would still see a clear horizon

on a flat earth at see there would be no horizon, with human eyes it would appear there was a horizon due to perspective, but if you then looked through a pair of magnifying goggles (whatever they're called) the 'horizon' would move further away, with a flat earth, there is no horizon, because the more you 'zoom' in on it the further it moves back but on a round earth, no matter what there is a horizon

http://img105.images..2820/horizon23wl.jpg

the second one isnt so great, but you get the idea :p

And if the earth wasnt round, the moon wouldnt stay in perfect orbit, as the field of gravity wouldnt be constant all the way around if it were a plane / cube etc.

another valid point i'd say

1) That horizon is the edge of the Earth. It may seem like the horizone is always moving away, but you're actually getting closer to it. It only seems to be moving because its so far away.

Ah of course when a boat goes off into the distance the devil must be responsible for making it actually sink into the hozione and disappear. Nonsense that it appears to be moving away because your going towards it lol. Thats the case with a rainbow you fool and thats a prism of reflected light.

2) Mathmatically, if the Earth were round, then the slipperage caused by tripping would be very much in the 'bad' area, as proven by 89% of the leading scientists in the world!

No idea what your talking about to be honest, but i've a funny feeling neither do you on this one.

3) Look at a map; maps are FLAT!!!

Maps drawn on 2D paper are flat because paper is two dimensional. Maps displayed on Globes are 3D because they are on a three dimensial object a sphere. Neither are remote proof of how the earth really looks, merely maps intended on displaying locations if i was to entertain your view.

4) The pictures of Earth from space? They've gotta be fakes, because everyone knows that humans never REALLY went to space.

People dispute the moon landings, no-one disputes the fact that people have been in space. Why ? because shooting a rocket into the air is well within human ability this day and age.

5) The Titanic sunk because they found out the truth by selling too close, and it was sunk by U-boats.

No it sunk because the morans were going too fast in ice berg littered waters and funny enough hit an iceberg. Unsinkable it certainly was not.

6) America didn't go across the pacific to attack the Japanese and vice versa, they actually went around Antartica south of South America and Africa. All the Pacific nations are paid of by the US government in the billions supposedly spent on a space program so they'll keep their mouths shut.

This is your worst argument, the americans might have been able to spot the japense navy sailing across virtually the entire length of the ocean to come and launch their bombers. A simply ridiculous journey that would not have been attempted due to the slender chance of not being spotted by allied forces before they could attack the US.

There! Ireffutable proof that the Earth is flat!

This statement suggests no-one could argue to the contrary, my own response makes this statement wrong in everyway possible.

The world is definitely flat, attempts by "Scientists" to prove otherwise have been ill-conceived and obscure at best. However, the world does not end when you reach the edge. Rather, you merely wind up back to the other end.

Your actually saying we get to the end and then teleport back to the other side, oh yes that sounds alot more reasonable a theory than say gravity. Where do they brainwash you fools, is it from birth or do they abduct you in a van randomly ?

yes...but its an excuse to mock fundamentalist religions and i simply cant pass up that chance, joke or not. My anger isn't towards you, im sure your sane lol.

I don't think you understood what I was saying there. First of all the moon isn't called space. Going to space doesn't mean we're going to the moon. The ability to go into space doesn't grant us the ability to go to the moon. Not only is there the Van Allen belt, there is also radiation on the moon too.

Wow . . . it really is pointless to argue physics or astronomy with a high school student, because 99% of them have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Please . . . promise me you'll go farther than looking at the notes you kind of sort took during class for your sources.

No, you're wrong. A magical force holding our feet to the ground is absurd. Every complete idiot knows that you have to have contact to have force. How does gravity pull you down without contact?

And it doesn't have to "teleport" you. I suppose you're going to tell me next that if you travel in a straight line that you will eventually end up at your starting place. Well, straight lines do not exist on spheres! They only exist on flat land.

1) They don't teach astronomy in highschool. (Just the basics)
2) I got a physics award last year, and am being offered scholarship money thgis year for my achievments on physics.

It's hardly "magical," and it doesn't hold your feet to the ground, but I'm assuming that was hyperbole anyway.
Most forces require contact, but the three fundamental fources don't. These are: The strong nucleur force, which holds the protons of and neutrons of an atom in the nucleus; the electroweak force, which pulls oppositely charged electric or magnetic elements together and pushes positive ones apart; and gravity, which pulls any bit of matter toward any other bit.

Consider magnets: Have you even seen a magnet push another one? They don't ever come in contact, yet there is clearly a force.

The world is round because its been proven duh.

Wow. An amazing argument. Wrap this up folks, no one can argue with this . . .

What the f*ck? This is one of the biggest shit i have ever heard. Of course the earth is round, and humankind has been in space!
proof: .....

Around here the world is not flat.
It isn't round either.
It is hilly. (hilly- hills of varing sizes all over the place)
There are also ridges (long hills) and about 30 miles from here is the ocean.
And it's always moving , waves and swells and breakers on the beach,
"I can't tell what damn shape it is because it won't stay fuckin' still for a bloody minute"
The only things flat around here are the table tops, and a lot of them are FLAT & ROUND!

Until someone actually goes to earth and see's themself, I have no opinion.
