Precisely. That's why yer can't see an ant on a leaf 200 metres away.

This seals the deal. Are there any spherical earthers that could explain?

Such a flight would -prove, one way or the other; is the earth spherical, or another shape entirely. If the flat earthers are right, the distance to go round the Antarctic would be about 120,000 kms. If the earth is spherical then the distance will be far less. Easy to prove one way or the other. But they won't even attempt it. Wonder why?

Of course the water would flow down the hole. I think the barrier in thinking here, is that the earth turns around itself. A flat earth would stay flat all the time. It would have to or we would all be gonners when it turned upside down. I'm not an expert on this at all. I'm on the thread to glean information from knowledgeable posters like you and Rattlesnake. I am forever inquisitive about things we take for granted. But!! There are over one billion (billion not million) who think the world is flat. Although many believe it is more akin to a watermelon cut in half. Cut a third of the way across; more likely. Flat side up; obviously. And the underside is also a bit of a mystery. Not necessarily smooth. Maybe jiggerdy-jaggerdy. Any thoughts on that Richard?

Wow!! Very persuasive arguments there Richard. You certainly know your stuff. Only one thing. If the earth was flat, would not gravity be irrelevant? I'm not knowledgeable to answer that, but I do like Bernoulli's theorem.

Great post Mr Gamb00ler. Even at my age I'm still willing to learn. For me, this topic is somewhat a barometer. I started off thinking that the earth could be round, and then, I read @rattlesnakeand because he certainly knows his stuff, the pendulum swung; and I was 50/50. Then @richard_smith237posts. His arguments were/are very convincing and I went 60/40. in favour of a round earth. But!! The pics Rattles put up are the nuts. So I'm now 40/60. If someone could tell me why a plane can't fly round the coast of Antarctica, it might sort it for me. Or/and, if we drilled a hole through one ocean, say the Atlantic, would all the water pour through it? Into where? Outer space? Maybe inner space! It's a complicated subject alright.

A walk in the forest will calm you down.

Indeed!! Including toxins from medications.

Indeed! Best not to upset the bankers, the Israelis, the Military machine, Big Oil, Big Pharma, the FDA, CIA, FBI or Mr Musk.

Indeed Rattles. Bit like when Groucho Marx's wife comes home and finds him in bed with his secretary. She storms out. Later they meet up and Groucho says; ''Nothing happened. Do you believe me or your own eyes?''

Wow! Can see things 100 metres below the surface?! I'm getting an education on this curvy earth stuff..

Bang on the money there Rattles. Of course there will be some AN members who think differently. But you must press on in your crusade.

Fantastic Sir. Thanks for that. Gonna make a batch soon. i'll take some pics and report back. My daughter will love this.

Gonna try and make a batch. When it's all mixed do yer put it in the fridge or the freezer?

''Thailand Launches Major Dengue Vaccine Trial in Children.'' OP suggests that it is a trial of a vaccine; using 35k kids.

Could always ask that Sheena Easton how great he was.

TBH, I'm hugely disappointed in Kennedy. Offered so much hope, but so far is just tinkering round the edges. Get to grips with the real problem of measles in Texas man. and it's nowt to do with a virus; as you well know.

This post seals the deal.

It's not in the 'off the beaten track' section. But I'll risk posting. All I can say is; ''poor kids.''

Great pics as usual Chris. This one especially.

Is it better to keep it in the fridge or the freezer? If yer puts it in the freezer, a square lasts longer in yer mouth.

Why can't a plane fly around the coast of Antarctica? Is it because a plane can't fly 120,000 kms in one go? I've looked, and I can't find any flights.

Well, that just about proves it. Begs the question; what else, that we take as given, is simply not true. I'll go further; a hoax! Great research Rattles.

Right you are Mr Rattlesnake. Eight inches sounds about right to me. Although a light might be useful. Can a lazer be directed across the great lakes from Canada to the US? If it can, then that's a long distance. And a whole different jar of mustard. Why can't a plane fly around the 'coast' of Antarctica?

Sorry Billy. Read the thread incorrectly. I'll get onto Mr Rattlesnake about this as soon as I've finished me Lao Khow. But, if you do want to know about sums and stuff, just ask me. I was professor of mats at Dagenham Dock Uni.
