I wish I wasn't so impaired I could figure out the upper ascii for the infinity symbol but alas, impaired I am.

Here's an idea, why not read the thread it's entirety, instead of just popping in at the end. You should find the ideas your promote to be addressed and handily dismantled. I hate to break it to you, but now that you've espoused a flat Earth, EVERYONE has a great idea of your level of education...

What amazes me is how verbal they are for how little they can read.

Good question. Chicago at 90 miles away, if we were on a ball would drop below the horizon by 2700 feet, assuming you are on the top of the ball and Chicago 90 miles away it would be approximately 2700 feet of drop. Placing the water in between you and Chicago and blocking your view of Chicago. For discussion purposes on a round ball, wherever you are at would be the top of the ball.

I would not call it education I would call it indoctrination. Blindly believing what some teacher tells me rather than making my own observations and considering things in my mind is indoctrination. Sheez, You probably believe 911 was done by 19 Saudi terrorists.

Once you get out of elementary school they make you do proofs (google is your friend, pumpkin).

The bolded is exactly the situation we are in! It all works out. I think you are committing an error in a basic premise, such as which way is up in a discrete-source gravitational field ...
