Flat Earth Society

I wonder if Richard Branson could even convince them:Home | Virgin Galactic They mention that the North Pole is the center of the disc and at the outer edge is an ice wall that corresponds to Antarctica. If they really cared to find out, they could measure the length of the circumference of Antarctica and figure out that its way to small to be the outer edge of the disc.

You could use stakes as markers to determine when you went around once and then figure up the distance you traveled (maybe with a really long wire) and see that its way too short to be the outer edge of the disc. Heh, they should have a rim-proximity space warp hypothesis where as you approach the outer edge of the disc, space is warped back around towards itself to a centralized point directly underneath the north pole.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

Nice. So its flat, its just that everything is distorted to make it look like a sphere. Truly inarguable. Do you have a link to that hypothesis? I couldn't find it through google.

According to my geometry, that leaves us a distance of 3,690 km between the ice wall and the equator. That is less than half the length of South America, which is mostly in the southern hemisphe....er, I mean, the outer-half section of the disc.So that can't be right.

I hiked it with one of these:

No, you mean it in an even more ridiculous way.

I think its so they can have the ice wall (Antarctica) surrounding everything and holding the oceans in.If you chose a different point, then the oceans would fall off the edge of the disc.
