[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 208907, member: 1664"] Try a couple things. Go up in an airplane ,to about thirty thousand feet, and look at the horizon. It is curved. DUH. Take a stick 6 ft tall and stick it into the ground. Have a friend a thousand miles away do the same. Call him on your cell phone. You measure the shadow casted by your stick and the shadow of your friend at the exact same time. WTF, they are different. Simple math shows why. The earth is a sphere. [/QUOTE]
