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

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

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.

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