RE: Is the Earth a globe, or is it flat? The best comments will be upvoted.
The Earth is a globe.
This can be proven by the fact that you can view the sunset twice.
If you go to a flat area, you can accomplish this.
You can lay down, and view the sunset. Once the sun is out of sight, you can quickly stand up and view it again.
This proves that the Earth has a curvature, and is therefore round. If the Earth was flat, this wouldn't be possible. Luckily, since it is, one can experience the sunset twice.
This only proves that there are obstructions somewhere off in the very distant horizon casting a shadow.
Another good thing to note is that the flat earth theory has no real "proof" behind it. There are no pictures of the "end" of the Earth, or even anecdote of people seeing this supposed "end" of the Earth.
Not saying I believe it, just presenting a conceptualized alternative. If nothing else, I am fascinated with the imagination it takes to try and assemble a semi-working model.
