I respect your beliefs, but why is it according to your view of the world when I walk in one direction long enough that I end up at the same place?

Have you ever tried that? Even on a sphere earth, could you actually do this? No you can't.

Well, lets say you have a boat to cross water and some way to cross tough terrain hypothetically.

Ask a pilot if he has ever had to fly while constantly correcting for the curvature of the earth. Ask a pilot if he's ever taken off and idled until the city he wants to land in spins underneath him. If the earth were a sphere then you could do what you said. But you could also do the things I mentioned. Also, google the images released over the past 30 years from NASA of the earth. They vary in continent size greatly. It's been painted by an artist.

Alright, why would pilots have to correct for the curvature of the Earth? Unless they were going at escape velocity gravity pulls them enough for them to follow the curvature. Second, a pilot could wait for the Earth to spin the city under him, but he'd have to stay at escape velocity or be far enough away from Earth to do so.

Are you assuming my gender?

Oh shiza. I accidentally used a male pronoun. The feminists shall descend upon me like a plague!

I was just joking around. It seemed like things were getting tense. So, in your model is the airplane, the atmosphere and the earth all spinning in sync with each other due to the earths gravity? See, in my model there is no outer space and no escape velocity. Just down. So wouldn't it be the burden of aortic all earthers to prove Gravity and even Einstein said that geocentric and heliocentric views could both be correct.

Fair enough. I thought we were arguing. Wanna be best friends?
