Just goes to show that you don't understand science. Good science is not about proving something is true, good science is about proving that something we believe to be true isn't.

In either case, it is a piece of cake to prove the Earth is flat. Just go around it. Also, geosynchronous orbits wouldn't be possible if the world was flat. Since we can see that the Earth is round (now from space, but initially by its shadow on the moon) and since we know it rotates around its own axis (as demonstrated by Foucault's pendulum), it is through observation, quite clear that the Earth is indeed not flat.

The only reason its more likly that the world isnt flat, and isnt the centre of the universe, is besause the Math is easier if it isnt.
Not a huge math fan, are you? The math would be easier if we used a simplistic medieval view of the world. The only problem with that is, that while the math is simpler, it doesn't add up.
