Right.. What force is pushing away the light?
Before Newton Named Gravity didnt mean it didnt exist, just call it whatever you like. So the earth is flat now?
No, its a Globe, its just that its impossible to prove so. Lots of things in science are based on theroy rather than proof. The problem is that if it becomes the accepted Therory it is taken as being proven. In this case, it became obvious to the anchient Greeks that it was a lot lot easier to explain things if the earth was a globe, something that the main Euorpeans concluded nearly 2000years later. It simplifed things so much, that even threatend with prison, (And worse excommunication), people refused to accept that it was Gospel that the world was flat. Once all the greater minds accepted that the "Globe Model" was the one they were going to use, the rest of the population caught on, and assumed that this had been proven. But is hadnt.
Although it sounds stupid, and lots of people havent taken it seriously, a flat plane can be mapped onto a globe as long as the distances between points on the globe do not need to be the same distance apart on the plane (ie the metric on the plane isnt constant). The problem is the closure point, (Normaly taken as being the pole opposite from where you started), which in a globe model you can travel to, but in a Plane model you cannot and is infact a circle of infinate diameter. However this "Pole" was arbitarlay chosen, so the only way you could be really really sure is if you were at all points of the globe at the same time.
Apparently all the math fits a flat earth if you twist the math enough
Yes ;)But as its accepted that the simplest solution is corrent, it make more snce to work on the assumtion that the world is a globe
