The Answer is in the bible

A round, flat earth. A simple person, maybe simpleton, trust my senses. Sure helps crossing busy streets with no light. Definitely in Mexico, Panama. Glad I wasn't SPINNING, too. Owen put some neat points. But a lot of F words too.

Surprising nobody has called the round earth racist. Doesn’t the Koran say the earth is flat?

I wish I was smart enough to believe the earth was flat.

I am still wondering if this is something AOC started. Like her outrageous claim of socialist ?

The same mindless dribbling wombats that would have you believe the world is flat - are the same people that purport that " socialism " is good for you.

The earth is a sphere but not a perfect sphere. It is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator.

A round disc is flat....Question is bogus.

This is pretty cool from Discover Magazine.

If the earth was shrunk to the size of a pool ball, it would be smoother than one.

how smooth is a pool ball? According to the World Pool-Billiard Association, a pool ball is 2.25 inches in diameter, and has a tolerance of +/- 0.005 inches. In other words, it must have no pits or bumps more than 0.005 inches in height.

The Earth has a diameter of about 12,735 kilometers (on average, see below for more on this). Using the smoothness ratio from above, the Earth would be an acceptable pool ball if it had no bumps (mountains) or pits (trenches) more than 12,735 km x 0.00222 = about 28 km in size.

The highest point on Earth is the top of Mt. Everest, at 8.85 km. The deepest point on Earth is the Marianas Trench, at about 11 km deep.

So for once, an urban legend is correct. If you shrank the Earth down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be smoother.

I have sailed the Atlantic many times, cruising, not once have we teetered on the brink of oblivion. I'm hoping it round when we do the world cruise or I will be one pissed off passenger

The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes! (From the Caltech website)

That's about 15 sunrises in 24 hours

There's a camera on the ISS that is publicly available in real time from your phone (Android and maybe iPhone). App (on Android) is called ISS HD live.

Watch for a little over an hour and ½ and you tell me
