Yes before education was public the debate about the flatness of the earth was still alive and well. I find it strange how my friends in Latin America learn the exact same memes. That boats go over the horizon that is why the hull disappears first, that centrifugal force keeps the water on the globe, using a bucket of water as some kind of proof, that people were afraid of sailing off the edge of the world. Text books worldwide practically are being written by the same people apparently.

Again, wrong. You are pulling numbers from nowhere. The earth curves ~8 inches per mile. At 12 miles that is 8 feet, not 80. Stop ignoring my questions and tell me where you are pulling these bullshit numbers from. Or are you just afraid to admit that they were made up by idiots and that you believed them without ever double checking them?

There are dozens of videos like that on youtube, proving bodies of water to be flat.

do you know what a square mile is genius?

it's a mile. times a mile. ie, a mile x and a mile y, making a square.

it's still a fucking mile from one side to the other, unless you're saying all of this relies on diagonals... which, would be kind of stupid. and wtf per mile squared?

go back to MIT, i think you forgot your t-shirt...
