the earth is flat...apparently

I thought the roundheads put this to bed in 1462 with victory in the battle against the flatcaps on noggin hill
 
Imagine thinking that every scientist ever, every intellectual ever, every great person like JKF, or everyone at NASA and all your science teachers, or even modern entrepreneurs like Elon Musk at Space X were all wrong. Every picture from space was a fraud, every high altitude flight that captured curvature was because of lens distortion. All part of an elaborate ruse to hide the fact that the earth was flat. Imagine thinking that. I can't comprehend the stupidity of humans sometimes. Why the fuck would everyone just lie about it all? Why?! Fuck that.
 
I genuinely thought "flat earthers" was just a joke. A bit like a 'clarkie' but in everyday life, away from bluemoon.

Never realised these people actually lived amongst us.

Simple question for these people, do they believe in Gravity?
 
the world is flat, an easier way of proving this is to walk , eventually you will run out of the earth and fall off the end

Not strictly true. To fall off a flat earth would mean there is something with a gravitational pull beyond the 'edge' of the earth. You can't fall toward something that isn't pulling you. So in theory, you'd just keep going I guess, floating away into nothing. Unless flat earthers believe the earth's gravity is still pulling you toward it, in which case, all you could do is walk down the 'side' of the 'edge' and then back underneath it, upside down. Maybe that's how to get to Australia after all.

There are several theories on gravity Which one do you adhere to?

I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly or not over the course of the last couple of pages - are you saying you believe the earth is flat or just playing devils advocate? I mean, I know you're a pretty intelligent bloke from reading your posts in the past but I'm struggling with this one.
