Mission Statement For centuries, mankind knew all there was to know about the shape of the Earth. It was a flat planet, shaped roughly like a circle, with lots of pointy things hanging down from the underside. On the comparatively smooth topside, Europe sat in the middle of the circle, with the other continents scattered about the fringes, and parts of Africa hanging over the edge.

10 easy ways you can tell for yourself that the Earth is not flat This shadow is the Earth’s, and it’s a great clue on the spherical shape of the Earth. Javier Sánchez. Lunar Eclipse. A sequential view of the lunar eclipse that occurred on April 15, 2014. You can see Earth's shadow crossing the face of the Moon, and the shadow's shape is curved because Earth is spherical.

Is the sea the same level all over the world ? Another way to ask the same question is: Is the earth a perfect sphere? The answer is that its not, because the earth spins it bulges at the equator and hence the sea is not at the same level all over the world. It depends on what your margin for error is really.

Introduction The image depicts a man crawling under the edge of the sky, as if it were a solid hemisphere. Plato (427–347 BC) was convinced that the earth was spherical: My conviction is that the earth is a round body in the centre of the heavens...Also I believe the Earth is very vast. Significantly, he could not prove this was the case.

Top 10 Ways to Know the Earth is Not Flat Consider a flat plane. The center of mass of a flat plane is in its center (more or less – if you want to be more accurate, feel free to do the entire [shriek] integration [shriek] process), and the force of gravity will pull a person toward the middle of the plain.

8 Reasons We Know the Earth Isnât Flat They won’t be the same. Because the Earth is a shape other than a flat disk, when looking into the night sky the Earth itself can block your view. If the flat Earth theory were true, everyone should be able to see the same constellations all the time, as if we all were staring up from the same section of summer grass.

Flat Earth Under the model proposed by this book, the Earth is a flat disc with the north pole at its center and the south pole extending all the way around the outer edge. However, the alternate theory that the North Arctic is the surrounding ice wall is a similar idea.

Do they really think the earth is flat? In fact, people have known since at least the 4th century BC that the earth is round, and the pseudo-scientific conviction that we actually live on a disc didn't emerge until Victorian times. Theories about the earth being flat really came to the fore in 19th Century England.

Planet Earth: Facts About Its Orbit, Atmosphere & Size Earth has a diameter of roughly 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers), and is round because gravity pulls matter into a ball, although it is not perfectly round, instead being more of an oblate spheroid whose spin causes it to be squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator.

- Since we take Genesis literally we must also believe in a flat earth. The Bible consistently points to a spherical earth. Isaiah 40: 22 reveals that God sits above the circle of the earth. Jesus said that he would return when people were in bed, working in a field, and grinding at a mill (Luke 17: 34 36).

Flat Earth On certain length scales, the Earth certainly is flat — the ground on what we like to call flatland certainly doesn't look like it has any significant curvature in everyday life. In a mountainous region, the local geography is so variable that discerning a curve would be even more difficult.

In which year was it discovered that the world was round rather than flat? The world was not discovered to be round and spherical rather than flat in any one year or any spectacular revelation. It was gradually accepted by more and more philosophers, scientists, and other intellectuals until it was eventually accepted by the populace at large when distribution of information became easier.

Chapter 8 The Earth is an oblate spheroid. That is, it is roughly a sphere, but the speed of its rotation causes it to bulge out near the equator   Due to the tremendous size of the …earth, the laws of perspective, and the relative closeness to the surface of the earth that we typically use as our reference point, the earth appears flat to us.

- That’s what would be happening if the earth was flat. The fact that the sun rises and goes up to a zenith and then goes down into the horizon, shows that the earth is spherical in shape. You can travel a thousand miles around the earth and still see this exact same thing, because the earth is spherical in shape.

Flat Earth A common trope in flat-Earther literature is that roads, canals, etc. are built flat — not taking into account the curvature of the Earth. 1  Surveyors ignore curvature when surveying a project because the error from ignoring curvature is minuscule.  For a 1 mile baseline the drop will be 8 inches.

Who first discovered and proved the earth was round, not flat? How was it proven? One of the first western models of the Earth that wasn't flat was that of the greek thinker Anaximander (610 B.C. - 546 B.C.). He thought the Earth was a cylinder. However Ancient Greeks knew the earth was round as early as the 6th century B.C.

- A number of young-earth creationists purport to find in Isa. 40:22 and Job 26:7 evidence that the Bible teaches that the earth is spherical. A detailed analysis of key Hebrew words and their translations in ancient and modern versions shows that there is no substantive evidence and thus no warrant for this claim.

Are Flat-Earthers Being Serious? Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat. Walking around on the planet's surface, it looks andfeels flat, so they deem all evidence to the contrary, such as satellite photos of Earth as a sphere, to be fabrications of a round Earth conspiracy orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.
