Strangely the man on the moon is the first picture of Earth.

actually, it CAN be flat. just like it CAN be round. it's merely about perspective and the media in which it's represented.

It's a half of a planet

Both flat and round

can also be cone shaped or shaped like a cylinder ore cube shaped

had several cube planets on spore.

1124 comments and round earthers still can't explain why the earth is round

So far we got:
"The earth is round because of gravity"
"The earth is round because I can't see Japan from my beach house in california"
"The earth is round because <insert green screen footage>"
What about how gravity proves the earth is a globe, did you forget about that one?

I didn't mean here, I meant globe believers get emotional whenever there t minus countdown in general

"The earth is round because of gravity"

"The earth is round because <insert green screen footage>"
"The earth is round because the president called the moon"
"The earth is round because actornauts of the iss are risking their lives floating up there in an imaginary space"
No I haven’t been. I think I’ve been rather civil. Why are you accusing me of this?

so someone looks up to the sky and concludes he has proven the shape of what he's standing on, without observing what he's standing on. An objective person can notice this is not very scientific or proof.
people who want to prove the shape of the earth or want to prove if earth is moving should observe earth, measure earth or do experiments with earth.
Just.... no....

The ancient greeks (Erastothenes, B.C.) already proved the shape of the earth by observing shadows in different places.

Eratosthenes already calculated or better estimated earth's circumference with a margin error of less than 1%. by simply observing.

Also B.C people already observed that different masses behave differently in the same medium.
Another more known example is Newton's law of universal gravitation, which in tl;dr states that every particle attracts each other.

Henry Cavendish was the first one to measure the force of gravity between masses (Cavendish experiment, tl;dr 2 balls of different masses attracting each other).

Furthermore we know that gravitiy pulls equally towards the center of a mass. It's called hydrostatic equilibrium. That's why celestial bodies tend to have a round or spherical shape.

Unless someone disproves these observations and formulars, all above is true and applies to our understanding. It's not a matter of making up stuff and wait for it to be disproven but having a hypothesis, collect data, examine the results and draw your conclusions from that. People are free to disprove the above with their own collected data. Yet, I have never seen concrete evidence that disproves the observations and calculations I mentioned above.


If you are serious about your argument I'm really worried about the education some folks on this forum got through.
Do people live on the underside of the disk? Do they get their own sun and moon?
What language do they speak and has anyone from this side met them? I'm certain if we showed them how radio works we can get to know them better.

Build a wall now before this mingling gets out of hand I say.

We explained to you how the spherical earth works backed by scientific evidence. Not my fault you refuse to listen to it. I can't imagine being so closed minded. You think your truth is the only truth, that is a major sign of immaturity.

Because gravity. It really is simple, the reason why planets (also stars) are round is gravity being isotrop.

Everyone knows the moon is a lie, and the Tartarian Empire will rise again to return to the stars once again and help Putin defeat the evil Ukrainian transgender pizzagate cabal, probably that extraterrestrials helped to implement.

Hey giauys, you know we can see the shape of the Earths shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse, yeah?
