Flat Earth

Now before you all think I'm weird and crazy please realise I'm not completely convinced by this but it has me very intrigued right now.
I thought I'd share this as it may well intrigue others.
Yes it's easy to dismiss as being stupid but before ranting that here, please take some time to watch some of the links I provide below.
If you dare, be prepared to really have your mind blown apart for a while as that's certainly what's happened to me this last week

It was a good Thomas Dolby album.

Ahahahahahaha links coming

Eratosthenes managed to measure the Earth's circumference in about 250 BC, 2,210 years later Apollo 8 took the famous Earthrise photo.

I think this was written with Eric Dubay in mind, he reminds me of a ex-girlfriend's mother who was convinced all the spaceships in Star Wars were real and the governments were keeping them secret, but also hiring them out to George Lucas, it made sense to her.

Sorry but that looks a lot like cgi to me and 245, 000 miles to the moon in 1972 was it.
Funny how they can't get there anymore and the shuttle only goes 330 miles and even that's looking doubtful

I'm really struggling to believe anything nasa shows or says now.
Not one of their pictures looks real

[VapingBad]

So all those people doing the round the world yacht races are mistaken just like Columbus?

[jtc]

The only pictures showing a curve of the earth are cgi or a fish eye camera from what I've seen.
Even the red bull jump he uses a fish eye camera but looking through the window of his vessel the horizon of earth is flat.
I know yes it sounds crazy

They go around in a circle according to this like circling on a plate

This has had 2,000 years of peer review en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes#Measurement_of_the_Earth.27s_circumference and still holds up.

So where's the edge then!?

[VapingBad]

So I watched the first few mins of the last video, compete bollos in his use of up-hill, down-hill & height due to the curve of the Earth just complete and utter bollos. It is altitude, distance from the centre and all of that proves the Earth is round.

And what's on the other side?

OK #20 a cannon ball not going West when it falls easy to do yourself throw something up in the air while inside a car, train or plain it has the same sidways momentum as the thing it is on and doesn't shoot to the end of the carriage.
