Do you believe the earth is flat?

Answer 1

You know back in the time people were utterly convinced that it was true. They had maps and everything. They taught it in schools too.

Answer 2

Of course not. That's ridiculous, and that's why we have horizons. That's ALSO why you can only see eight miles on a clear day in the middle of the ocean - the curvature of the Earth prevents us from seeing further.

If the Earth were flat, we wouldn't have tides, lunar eclipses, ocean currents, satellites, seasons, or... life.

However, when you look at the Earth from a standpoint of cosmolgy and the topology of the universe - we may be very, very flat indeed.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

In places, yes.

The link below is to a research project by geographers that proves, yes indeed, that Kansas is actually flatter than a pancake.

A DEM (digital elevation model) of a regulation I-HOP pancake (a.k.a the "sample" as food is not permitted in the lab) was scaled out and compared the USGS (U. S. Geological Survey) DEM for the State of Kansas. And yes, it is scietifically proven that Kansas is flatter than a pancake.
