I have been loving reading all of these comments. You guys have so much incredible insight and I love when the comments make me think. To add to the Antarctica / "Ice Wall" topic that many have brought up, I was listening to a podcast and it talked about how Hitler knew something was in Antarctica, so he had a large camp set up there and they were searching for something. The Powers that Be told him to close the camp and stop searching. He refused.

Allegedly Hitler invaded in 1939, thus kicking off WWII.

Hitler was allegedly assassinated April 1945.

The Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959.

Whatever was going on there, they did not want anyone looking for anything (according to the podcast. I do not remember which show it was)

To the person who asked about the horizon, I think there is a link to a show on the topic in the Sources section of the document. Next time you believe you see a ship disappearing over the curve of the horizon, get out your phone and zoom in on the ship. You will be able to see the ship clearly again. Our eyes are only capable of seeing so far, so as an object gets further away it becomes smaller and once an object gets far enough away, we can no longer see it, but that doesn't mean the object isn't there, it just means we cannot see it without assistance of technology (camera, binoculars, etc). Basically, it's an optical illusion.

Again, I do not care what shape the earth is. But some things make way more sense than others.

I never really thought much about the earth being flat. I worked many years as an air traffic controller, never questioning how, for example an airliner traveling east at at altitude of 31K’ could possibly steadily maintain that altitude. Taking into consideration the supposed curvature of the planet, common sense dictates that aircraft would have to incrementally gain altitude or as mentioned in your post, the pilot would have to continually drop down to maintain assigned altitude. That does not happen or air traffic control would be much more complicated than it already is. Never too late for an Occam’s razor moment.

Anyone want to buy some unused bottles of vitamin D3?
