Not flat earth!
Top 5 human reasons why!
In this discussion there are presented my top 5 five human reasons to think
we do not live on a flat earth.
Each and every one is presented as a challenge ...
you tell me why each item proves we don't live on a flat earth.
A few easy ones at the beginning to get your brain warmed up.
Not a big deal but I am getting annoyed at having to constantly fight with people about flat earth,
so now I have a video where I can point them, asking,
“can you answer my 5 questions first?”....

Russian satellite's 121-megapixel image
of Earth is most detailed yet.
Pictures from the Elektro-L No.1 Russian weather satellite of Earth are the highest-detail images yet, and come in at 121 megapixels. The color scheme comes from the image capture method, which combines data from three visible and one infrared wavelengths of light when it takes full-sized images of Earth every 30 minutes.

There's been a long history of NASA-provided "Blue Marble" images of Earth, but now we're getting a different perspective thanks to photos taken by the Elektro-L
No.1 Russian weather satellite. Unlike NASA's pictures, this satellite produces 121-megapixel images that capture the Earth in one shot instead of a collection of pictures from multiple flybys stitched together. The result is the highest-resolution single picture of Earth yet.
The image certainly looks different than what we're used to seeing, and that's because the sensor aboard the weather satellite combines data from three visible and one infrared wavelengths of light, a method that turns vegetation into the rust color that dominates the shot.
An educator named James Drake obtained over 350 full-resolution photos from the NTs OMZ (Russian Research Center for Earth Operative Monitoring), and used them to make several videos showcasing a day in the life of Earth.
The satellite takes a full image of Earth from its stationary point over 35,000 kilometers above the Indian Ocean every 30 minutes, providing the material for the video below. The images have a resolution of one kilometer per pixel, and the one you see above was taken on May 14, 2011.
Be sure to check a zoomable version of the image here to see the detail for yourself and be reminded of just how tiny we really are.

On May 10, Gizmodo posted this 122-megapixel picture they call
the single highest resolution photo of earth.
Not long ago, NASA made a spectacular high-resolution image of earth
by combining multiple photos.
The single picture above was taken by the Electro-L, a geo-stationary Russian satellite that hovers 22,370 miles away from the equator and snaps a photo every 30 minutes.
Each pixel in the photo represents roughly 0.62 of a mile.
James Drake of planet--earth.ca posted the photo. He also made the YouTube video below by stringing together seven days of shots.
The orange represents vegetation and results from an infrared layer in the photo.
Detailed explanations of the orange color can be found on Discover.com and Gizmodo.

The 'stick shadow' experiment
even the ancient Greeks used to show the Earth ISN'T flat

Could 2,000 years of belief be wrong? Are we in fact living on a disc rather than a globe?
One believer from the Flat Earth Society is determined to find out.
'Mad' Mike Hughes is all set to build his own rocket to see for himself that the Earth is flat.
For the last 50 years, we've been able to view pictures of the Earth from space, which might seem like all the proof you need to see that our planet is in fact round.

At the same time, there's a lack of understanding of the science that has long been used to demonstrate that we live on a globe, without the need to leave it.
I wish Hughes well with his endeavour, as he has at least been willing to try and prove his theory.
Perhaps if more people really could see for themselves the evidence, we might be able to reverse this worrying trend.

A good place to start would be by making sure children have the chance to try out simple experiments in school.
One of the best documented methods for determining the Earth's roundness was first performed (to our knowledge) by the ancient Greeks.
This was achieved by comparing the shadows of sticks in different locations.
When the sun was directly overhead in one place, the stick there cast no shadow.
At the same time in a city around 500 miles north, the stick there did cast a shadow.

THE 'STICK SHADOW' EXPERIMENT THAT SHOWS EARTH IS ROUND
One of the best documented methods for determining the Earth's roundness was first performed (to our knowledge) by the ancient Greeks.
This was achieved by comparing the shadows of sticks in different locations.
When the sun was directly overhead in one place, the stick there cast no shadow.
If the Earth were flat then both sticks should show the same shadow (or lack of) because they would be positioned at the same angle towards the sun.
The ancient Greeks found the shadows were different because the Earth was curved and so the sticks were at different angles.
They then used the difference in these angles to calculate the circumference of the Earth.
They managed to get it to within 10% of the true value.
They then used the difference in these angles to calculate the circumference of the Earth.
They managed to get it to within 10% of the true value – not bad for around 250 BC.
Another piece of evidence for a globe is the difference between the night skies in the northern and southern hemispheres.
The view is completely different because the Earth beneath you is pointing in a different direction.

More than 200 proofs that the Earth is not Flat
Introduction
There is a person called Eric Dubay who claims to offer 200 proofs that the earth is flat. He is wrong in every way.
He doesn’t really offer 200 proofs, because he repeats himself again and again.
They aren’t ‘proofs’ because they are consistently wrong, illogical, based on false statements or on misunderstandings.
And the earth really isn’t flat!
I don't expect you to take my word for that. It's the last thing I'd want.
Please read these refutations, follow up the evidence links, try the experiments I suggest so that you can see for yourself.
I’ve tried to make these replies understandable to everybody, with no more technical stuff than is absolutely necessary to make the point. I’ve also suggested ways that you can test the important questions for yourself.
Before we start, here are a few interesting issues.
Am I just prejudiced against Flat earth beliefs?
Sources and resources
I’ve written many of these replies myself, but sometimes I’ve drawn on other peoples work online. If you want to explore further, try these sources to get you started:
