Don't be afraid, this won't kill you.

But it will when I go to sail to visit my daughter in Austalia, no? Where exactly is the edge so I can be sure to try to miss it.

I was observing from 1.4 metres above sea level, so the horizon was probably only about three miles away. The simplistic 'drop' figures you link to don't show what an observer can actually see when above sea level. My figures are good.
Why can't I see the bottom of the cliffs on a flat earth?
Location, please.

I would take a plane, you would see the edge before going over it as so many ships have in the past.

:up: I could not have said it better myself.It is sad. He seems genuinely interested in scientific sounding ideas, and if only he persisted with the actual science he would find plenty to astound him and satisfy his curiosity. By he has got lost amongst thee siren sums of the conspiracy theorists.
Things I have learned about the Flat Earth model.
1. The UN logo is pretty much what it looks like. The North Pole is at the center and Antarctica surrounds everything in a circle of ice.
2. The sun and moon are much closer than in the globe model. They circle the earth mainly at the equator.
3. The sun and moon are about the same size and the moon gives off it's own light.
3. The stars are not planets and are not millions of miles away.
4. There is a canopy or dome that contains the atmosphere. We cannot go beyond it.
5. There is more land or continents beyond the wall ice south in all directions.
6. Finally, Scully, we may not be alone, not from outer space but from beyond the ice wall.

I am afraid you are on your own here. The enemy of my enemy is my friend simply does not apply.Oh, so you always thought open view was main stream?
AMR, I need your help here.

Are you technically allowed to use "learned" and "Flat Earth" in the same sentence? :think:Things I have learned about the Flat Earth model.
I'll go one better and say the logo is exactly what it looks like. lain: What?1. The UN logo is pretty much what it looks like.
Where does the Great Turtle come into this? (Ha, trick question, as we come into the Great Turtle)The North Pole is at the center and Antarctica surrounds everything in a circle of ice.
Whereas this theory circles the drain from a much nearer distance.2. The sun and moon are much closer than in the globe model. They circle the earth mainly at the equator.
How would it manage to do that?3. The sun and moon are about the same size and the moon gives off it's own light.
No one believes that stars are planets and the distances vary, but we can calculate that the nearest neighboring star is 93 million miles...that's the sun, by the way. The next nearest star system is around 4.37 light years from the sun.3. The stars are not planets and are not millions of miles away.
What's it made of? lain:4. There is a canopy or dome that contains the atmosphere. We cannot go beyond it.
Is it infinite?5. There is more land or continents beyond the wall ice south in all directions.
I've always said that most of the real problems of the world could be traced to ice walls.6. Finally, Scully, we may not be alone, not from outer space but from beyond the ice wall.
Theory One:
The reality is, the world as we know it is under a huge dome. At some unseen/camouflaged area of the outer side of that dome, we're all under a huge microscope. we are continually being observed by an unknown group of Scientists and technicians. Their objective is to observe and report all data received through our actions, thoughts, and decisions. every move we make is being recorded and documented.
Theory Two:
Humanity is made up of one single individual who creates reality as he sees fit. everything about him comes from his own "super-imagination." Whenever he interacts with another being, they cease to be when he leaves the environment he created within his own thought processes. There is no other reality other than what he creates.
Theory Three:
We as an individual, have been in a coma for many years. All that we perceive is what our comatose mind creates. We're basically in a perpetual dream world. Nothing exists outside our own limited imagination.
Theory Three:
The Truth:

What does your post mean? :idunno:Isn't Christianity fun? :chuckle:
say what?
Maybe you are referring to Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. If so, everything makes sense, Rincewind.
