    I hope you're kidding, but if not, it's a Star Trek board (think about it).

    If the Earth were flat I should see my house from Mt Everest with a telescope.

    Not to mention, if you could do that, why can't you see Mount Everest from your house, instead of nothing but stars where it would be?

    If the Earth were flat there would be no Mt. Everest.

    I love flat-earthers.

    They have a community on youtube and it's really nice and I discussed with one for a week or so till I got too exhausted.

    But I don't see how a "discussion" will spark in this forum. ;)

    I don't get those people.. the amount of evidence against them is as large as a large, rocky and mostly spherical planet.. :p:biggrin:

    As for epic album covers: in the 70's Jarre, and the artist Michel Granger already where worried about the planet "We must not kill the planet, we would not know where to bury it.."

    Jeeze, if the Earth was a flat disk, cats would have knocked everything off the edge by now...

    This sounds like a trick to get into orbit.

    There is no orbit, merely floating up above the disc

    Why don't you just float a few feet above the disk right now and test that out for me?
