If you put a ball on another ball, it rolls off. So if the earth were a ball, balls would all roll off of it. Duuuuuh!!!!!
Ok, whatever you say....if the world were a ball, we wouldn't need any gasoline because we could just roll downhill to wherever we wanted to go.
Oops! not quite so. The earth gravitational force vector is from the center of it's mass. So the ball rolls no where when on a surface perpendicular to the force vector.
The ball rolls no where on a flat surface. If the Earth were a ball, everyone would be living together in the North Pole because they'd need to stay on top of the Earth.
Then you should also be able to see the Rockies from hundreds of miles away in Nebraska ...which you can't...I believe the horizon on the open sea is 60 miles away or so...MarAzul would know
I would need to break out Bowditch to give you precision. But the horizon is about 6 miles away in my line of sight standing on the deck of my boat.
seemed like the Blue Ridge had a further range of vision but she's pretty high off the water...I've forgotten
The world is flat...the world is round, together we see that his guys just doing it for PR... Anyways, if the world is flat, why can't I see Mt Rainier, or Jefferson easily?
