- I agree that the brain washing is making headway.
Same stupid scenario, different words.
If flat and level means maintain altitude, a scientist will understand that as well as anyone else.
Then they need some medication for their autism. That's the only thing I can think of that would stop an educated person from accepting colloquial definitions as well as everyone else.The 10 scientists are running around, waving their arms, cursing all
these "idiots" because they refuse to acknowledge that the pavement
is crowned and twisted to accommodate gravity.
I guess he needed help writing his next novel. About autistic scientists, apparently.OK. You invented some scientists and made them silly. Congrats.
This will be a case where the movie is better. I'll wait for it on netflix tho.I guess he needed help writing his next novel. About autistic scientists, apparently.

That would be a patch of ground. He asked you about the planet.No. It is roughly flat. Only slightly out of flat. Imperceptibly curved. Practically flat.
.01% out of flat. Flat for all intensive purposes. Flat for most practical purposes.
1. So the planet earth is not shaped like a ball, roughly?No. It is roughly flat. Only slightly out of flat. Imperceptibly curved. Practically flat.
.01% out of flat. Flat for all intensive purposes. Flat for most practical purposes.
Global-ness is a scientific curiosity on the order of curved space.
Let me say it again...."I don't think the astronauts who actually circled the earth in space...think the earth is flat."
1. So the planet earth is not shaped like a ball, roughly?
2. And if not, then what object is it shaped like?
...So what shape is it? What is the shape of the earth? Is it a flat disc? A frisbee-like shape? A half-circle? A donut? A large celestial dragon? Just saying "it's mostly flat" doesn't answer the question. If I zoom in close enough, my marble is "mostly flat".No. It is roughly flat. Only slightly out of flat.
You totally evaded the questions. Here they are again:It is roughly flat. Only slightly out of flat. Imperceptibly curved. Practically flat.

There is a thick black line across the top of this post. Both ends
wrap around the globe and touch each other. Is the line flat
sloped, or shaped like a ovoid?
Only the nerdiest of geeks will not say flat.
They followed a flat trajectory level with the earth and remained alive.
It's hard to argue with success.

Do you believe a basketball is round?
And that is how people experience the world...even spacemen. It seems flat even as you orbit it.
Most people do not actually experience the planet as such.And that is how people experience the world...
I'm glad you used the word "orbit"
I don't give people a hard time for saying that the ground is flat. I will, however, give Flat Earthers a hard time, as that's not what they're arguing.Then don't give flat earthers a hard time.
No. The Earth is a planet. I would never say that it's flat. A certain area of its surface, on the other hand, is mostly flat.Most of us consider the earth flat.
Patch of ground =/= EarthThat's mostly correct.
Because you want people to use your language.
But how far past your mouth can you really see?
