Here is what the observer in India would see:

To save space and time I won't include pictures from every location, but by using Google Earth and your own intuition you can infer the same thing I did while writing this, that the Earth is indeed spherical.

2 dimensional photoshopped images to demonstrate 3 dimensions... brilliant...

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

While i respect your faith because everyone should have something to believe in I must refute these "science" experiments.

The reason you do not end up miles away when you jump is because you are moving with the earth. If you throw a tennis ball straight up in a moving car with the windows rolled up it will come straight back into your hand because before it leaves your hand it is moving at the same speed the car is. You would fall off the back of an open bed pick up truck if you jump because of wind resistance blowing against you. Now you ask "but isn't there wind resistance on you if you are standing on the ground. Yes there is but relative to the earth, the truck is moving faster therefore wind resistance will be greater.

The balloon doesnt pull the paper towards it because it simply isnt massive enough. Also, the the earth is incredibly more massive than the balloon so this experiment just can't be conducted while on earth's surface.

As far as the horizon theory, if you look out over the ocean towards the direction of europe you can't see it can you? Even if you got one thousand power binoculars you still wouldn't be able to see it due to the fact that the earth is curved and at about 8000 meters, the curvature of the earth makes it impossible to see things past that distance.

Like i said i respect your faith and I am not trying to disprove the existance of God, I am simply saying these experiments all have holes the size of New Jersey in them.

If the balloon had a hole in it the size of New Jersey, the balloon would have to be massive and the experiment would fail because it would be unable to hold any air. That is not at all what Rev. Osborne stated. You need to read the entire thread. Comments similar to yours have been made over and over and thoroughly refuted time and time again.

You do not have to refute these science experiments. Just try them.

You are not inside the vehicle, this has been stated many times. You do not fall off the truck because of wind resistance. When you jump, you land at the same spot where you jumped.

Do the same with a bowling ball and you will get the same result.

It is impossible to see that far away. Have you not noticed, things seem smaller the further away from you they are. Eventually they get go so small you cannot see them.

Nothing wrong with these experiments. Please take the time to read the entire thread to see how we proved the earth is flat.

@Lisa H. If you did the same experiment with a bowling ball the paper would still fall to the ground because of the fact that the earth is still more dense than the bowling ball. You could do it with the empire state building and the same thing would happen because the earth is still more dense.

@ James Hutchins. I think you should stop posting because it seems to me you have the cognitive ability of a three year old. "Holes the size of New Jersey" is figurative, not literal.

It is because the earth is flat. If the earth was a sphere things will fall off.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

I have a quick question: If the Earth is supposedly flat like you claim, then why is it spherical when you look at it from space? Also, why are the other planets spherical? Please assist, I'm confused.

I only repeated what you wrote.
Sounds even more absurd when someone else says it, doesn't it?

I find it so interesting when these posters fail and drop back to feeble personal attacks. If only they would drop to their knees for Jesus then they'd have the answers.

Have you been in space to see the earth?

You questions have already been answered in previous comments. It is because they are flat disc's.

No need to be confused, just read the Bible.

So does a silver dollar.

You should try it next time you are up there.

If the earth is flat where is the edge? Why has no one fallen off the edge? How did people reach the moon? Where are the dinosaurs in the Bible?

You don't fall off due to gravity. You don't sink into the earth as every force has an equal and opposite reaction.

"If the earth was a sphere things will fall off."

Why? We have gravity, and centripetal acceleration keeping us and "things" secured to the ground. Also say we didn't have gravity acting on us, keeping us grounded; why would things fall off? There's no gravity to force them down/off.

The edge of the Earth is at the edge of the Firmament. Look it up. People fall off the edge all the time. No one ever reached the moon, it is too far away.

Things do not fall off and what you call gravity is actually 'Intelligent Pulling'. You do not sink into the Earth because it is stiff.

"So does a silver dollar."

There's a difference, the silver dollar's landscape doesn't change. If what you're claiming is true wouldn't we just see the same static image of every planet? (That doesn't happen by the way.)

"You should try it next time you are up there."

You don't actually have to be in space to see what things look like from there.
