Prove to me the world is flat

Otherwise, the world is assumed to be round.

get on a freeway and tell me if the road is curved or flat

it would be flat? The earth is too large to observe the curve on a single freeway lolz.

Anyway prove to me the world is round, otherwise it's assumed to be a moebius strip.

mobius strip is nonorientable while earth is, hence earth =/= mobius strip

look at planets through a telescope, take a picture -- is the picture flat or round?

SPOILER: The planets are FLAT (in the same way that if you put a coin face down on a table, the coin is flat)

>>1

Look outside.

Have you ever seen the second side of Earth?  Pretty odd don't you think?  It's clearly a mobius strip.

>>7
the mere fact that noone has "seen" the second side of earth implies that one must exist, like looking at one side of a piece of paper, you cant see the other side but it must be there; contrast with a mobious strip below

a mobious strip has only one side, so if the earth was a mobious strip we could see everything about the earth from any angle

>>8
you're terribly mistaken, if you were standing on a mobius strip there would be plenty of it you couldn't see.

anyway, you've not proven the existence of another side of the earth, and since we're assuming the earth is a mobius strip, its pointless to talk about seeing or not seeing it, since it isnt there.

>>9
We are ASSUMING the earth is round and trying to PROVE otherwise; Ill refer you to the first post

>>1

someone went to space and saw it was round, thread over.

the surface of the world is a manifold. therefore it is locally flat. by induction, the whole is flat . qed []

the world is delicious
flat is deliciuous
therefore the world is flat and delicious

wtf is this shit.

prove to me the world is round, otherwise it is assumed to be flat.

see the pointlessness?

the world is pointless, therefore it has no points projecting from its flatness and so is flat

you can go around in a straight line and come back to the beginning. no plane has this feature. therefore the world is roooooooooooooooooooound

>>16
there's portals at the edges, duh

>>17

>>17
if the portals reproduce a topological sphere (well, geoid) then it's indistinguishable and it's still rooooooooooooooooooooound, in practice.

>>19
thus, we conclude, clearly, the world is isomorphic to a sphere.
QED, [], -> <-, and so on.

>>16
Toroid!

If the world was round, you would be able to take three long straight metal bars and make a triangle that sits around the Earth. That is too cool not to do, so the fact that no one did it means the Earth must not be round.

The earth is neither round or flat, it is spherical.

WTF?

>>24
WINNER!

Seriously, everyone here need to get back to the elementary school. I am truly astonished by your lack of knowledge.

Everybody knows today that the Earth is hollow, so the Earth must be round. It has also been proven that Adolf Hitler and tibetan monks live in the inner Earth and are planning the invasion ouf the outer Earth.

The sun rises at various times throughout the world: proven.

Large engineering projects have to deal with the curvature of the earth.  Long, straight tunnels used for things like particle accelerators have to be adjusted upward since light beams are nearly perfectly straight, and they would climb the tunnel since a "flat and level" tunnel actually curves "down" to follow the curve of the Earth.  Also, large bridge projects are constructed to allow for a slightly larger gap between the tops of support pylons.  There's a bridge in the NYC area that measured out as about 1.5 inches wider between the center points of the pylon tops than between the center points of the pylon foundations.  Why?  Because the curvature of the Earth made the pylon tops diverge.

The thing about watching a sailing ship sink slowly below the horizon is true, for the same reason.  But anyone by the ocean can prove the world is spherical just by watching the horizon line where "water meets sky".  By carefully viewing that line, you'd notice it would undulate with waves.  That's because you'd be seeing the actual wave tops right before the water surface curved below the horizon ... from the curvature of the Earth.

classical sphericist propaganda.

>>32
Doesn't disprove my toroid theory.

>>34

Find a place in the world where you can look up, at some time of day or night, and see the opposite side of the toroid. Also, a toroid world would have to have some weird kind of gravity, or else everything on the inside would fall into the center and form a shpere.

>>35 Three reasons for not being able to see the other side:
a) It's too far away
b) Clouds are in the way
c) That side is always dark, it blends in with space.

Your understanding of gravity is wrong, if you played halo you know that you would not fall off a toroid, because the gravity is strongest at the surface.

     The official name for the shape of the Earth is "Oblate Shperoid"

>>4 OF COURSE THE PICTURE IS FLAT!!! >_<

Ever look at a map?  They're flat.  Most maps are.  So, a globe is just a particularly weird projection.  There's more types of maps than globes.  Majority wins.  QED.

I'm feeling really keen, for some of that good ol' green
