Radius is a circular term and I believe we have already declared that the world is flat

In that case we won't know until someone finds the edge of the world and falls off, I guess.

But it's probably infinitely thick, so that won't work.
Or at least the world is infinitely long, and everything repeats eventually, so it appears to be a round, cyclic world when in fact it's different copies of the same flat portion that we're running across  tongue

Re: The World is Really Flat.

Proof the world is not flat is seen when your on a plane and those homemade high altitude picture taker balloons. Remember gravity acts towards the center of mass and not from up to down.

Re: The World is Really Flat.

Technically, Earth is flat. The sphere is made up of tiny, microscopic faces (the geometry kind), which combine to make a sphere.

It would be impossible for it to have no faces,  for then it would not exist, since every geometrical object has a face. Therefore, it is made of flat faces.
I'm actually gonna study this subject.

Every 3D object is made up of thin slices of matter differently shaped so that it makes up the object. You could say that makes every 3D object flat, but only a portion of the object would be flat (in this case, the non-visible portion.)

THE EARTH IS FLAT.


Well, scientifically, it must be.

I KNOW technically it is round. But there must be some:
A- Anti-Logic Theory
B- Paradox
C- MaGiC!!!

-that is keeping it possible for the world to be round.

A sphere on earth with tiny objects on the surface COULD NOT have them on all sides, 'top' and 'bottom'.

But if the earth were flat, it could have it on the top and not the bottom. Perfectly possible.

But it isn't flat, so therefore it isn't possible.

But it exists, so therefore it must be possible.

But-
Not in a possible way. It is made possible with an impossible method.

Or the earth really is flat, and the reason you could fly around the world completely is- some paradox-like teleportation.

Either must be right. The earth can't just be round.

Also, if the earth were round with no impossible-possible methods acting upon it, the moon would crash into earth.

Actually the Earth is very slightly squished.

lol  But if you went to the edge wouldn't you just sort of flip round to the other side? Because gravity would pull you towards it. If you fell off, then why don't you fall off the side of a spherical earth?

Re: The World is Really Flat.

Okay, this is my opinion based on a middle school education about Earth.

Well, the Earth possible COULD have been flat once, or at least a very squished oval. But, considering pictures from NASA and the geographic layout of the Earth, there is virtually no possible way the Earth could be flat. Afterall, it's called a bioSPHERE.

Also, you cant dig a hole to China. More proof of the roundness of Earth.

Then again, I'm a horrible artist, so that's not saying much.

A sphere is made up of flat faces that are not just microscopic, but dimensionless. They're points with no area, and there are an infinite number of them.

But earth isn't a perfect sphere, or a perfect ellipse, so yeah, it has a finite number of non-singular "flat" faces.
