The World is Flat

I’m uncertain about the hump that is between California and Hawaii that is in theory 700 feet high. This doesn’t have much to do with the world being flat or round. Water would act the same on a flat earth as it does on a round earth. Stars are so far away that they could pretty much be considered constant. The earth travels around the sun on an axis, but the north star is still so far away that it does not appear to move. This star and some of the area around it is always visible in the clear night sky. This happens in the north hemisphere. In the south hemisphere you cannot see the north star in the sky ever. On a flat earth you could use a telescope in somewhere like South America, direct it at the center, and see the north star. You can’t though. Another thing that this brings up is the earth’s seasons. It is warm in the northern hemisphere when the southern hemisphere is cold. When the northern hemisphere is cold the southern hemisphere is warm. This is due to the earth’s natural tilt on an axis. Not sure how this would work with a flat earth. It isn’t the distance to the polls that affect the temperature. It is the angle that it is hit at. If you put your hand in front of a fan you can feel the pressure of the wind hit your hand. Move it up and down and not much will change. If you put your hand parallel to the direction of the air flow, then it glides by. Wind isn’t the same as heat, but the principle being described is the same. On a flat earth it would only be a coincidence that the equator happens to be warmer than the rest of the earth. On a round earth there is a solid explanation. The g-force felt is not due to open or closed enclosure, but rather the centripetal force. G-force = V^2/r where V = velocity and r = radius [2]. The little merry-go-round-looking-picture ride you posted has a greater speed in comparison with its radius. The Earth may be going fast, but because its radius around the sun (93 million miles) is so big we don’t feel it. Same can be said about our orbiting around the earth. The earth’s velocity is 460 meters per second and 6,371,393 meters in radius. This means the g-force = .03. This is so small we don’t even notice it [1]. The Antarctic treaty is not really that suspicious. The countries agreed to not do any military testing there and use it for scientific research. If they truly were hiding the world was flat what would be the purpose? Same thing for NASA. Why would they lie about going into outer space? Faking a space expedition may be cheaper than actually going into outer space, but that is a bit wild. Who would go through all the work to try and make money like that when there are so much better ways. Wouldn’t there be more people coming out saying “the world is flat!” If there is one thing that people can agree on is that a large population is horrible at keeping secrets and much more people would be talking about it. The circumnavigation theory contradicts a point that my opponent already made. He stated that if the world was round we would have to tip the plane down in order to prevent going into outer space, but then the pilot of the plane in the picture of the flat earth would always have to steer to the right every so often to prevent going straight toward Antarctica. Since these ideas contradict each other the argument falls apart. How can the moon appear to have different phases at different parts of the world in a way that would indicate that the world is a sphere? Certain times of the year the sun’s arc isn’t as big, because of where the Earth is in relation to its orbit around the sun. On a flat earth this cannot work. When nighttime is coming the Sun sinks into the horizon. On a flat earth it would be falling into the Antarctic. A total eclipse happens when the moon his blocked from the sun by the earth. It is hard to figure how this would happen on a flat earth. Source: [1] = https://en.wikipedia.org... [2] = http://www.regentsprep.org...
