Can someone get a picture?

Why hasnt somone just taken a sailboat to the edge and take a picture??? Also, i am new to this and havent read very much but, how would gravity work? i am not trying to be a dick, i just dont understand!

Also, i am new to this and havent read very much

Click and read.

then how come on my trip from California to Tokyo Japan, i didnt get to see Africa or the north pole? it took a long time but we went from Cali to Japan without hitting any ice!!!

So if "the government" wont let you get near the edge...... which government?? i do not know of a world government. today we are at war with other countries so why would all the govs stick together on this issue when we cant agree on oil or religion?

*Sigh*

That FAQ fails at existence, to the point where its becoming worthless to recommend new people to it....

You'd have to ask Daniel (AWOL creator of the FAQ) or TheEngineer (modder of the FAQ) to get answers, I may have directed you to the FAQ but I do not endorse it.

I've made that trip, from San Francisco to Tokyo.  We stopped in Anchorage both to and fro, so of course saw plenty of ice.  But even a non-stop should pass at least over the Aleutians wouldn't it?  Sorry you didn't get to see the ice; I was mesmerized by it.

Erm, no, a straight flight wouldn't take you through the Aleutians, it might reach the veeeeery last islands, if that, but I doubt it. I took a flight to South Korea en route to Singapore, but I didn't see any ice.

Oh crap, now I'll have to find some string!  BTW, did you spend an afternoon in the Long Bar at Raffles?

Why do you need a picture when you can just look out your window?

Most people can't see the edge from their window, Tom.

So now the edge the edge of the world is right outside my window??? wow what a small world. in that case i have been to the other side!!! that comment really makes no sense!!! and i am looking for an answer, not some retard statement that came to your head. Thanks

Yeah, you're right.  My string just barely skirts them.  And I made that flight in the winter.

It's not my fault if they have bad eyesight. It's clearly there.

Tom, have I told you lately that I love you? 

Also, i am new to this and havent read very much but, how would gravity work?

This one went unanswered, so here you go:

The FE is constantly accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 in a direction that is normal to the planar surface of the FE.

Then, why does the magnitude of the acceleration of free fall decrease with altitude?

? The edge of the world is right outside my window and i am the gate-keeper! Once again Tom, pointless!

because it is right outside of Toms window.

have you observed this?

it's not an answer, i'm demanding evidence to your outlandish claim. I have observed gravity as a constant in my life, you claim it decreases, I've never gone up a flight of stairs and dropped something and seen it fall slower....

Fair enough. According to the RE model, the value of g would be 10% less than the value at the surface of the Earth at a height of 565,000 ft = 107 mi. Since we cannot measure g with a higher precision than 5% with amateur equipment, we must go this high to get a conclusive result. Also, due to the Moon's tidal effect, as well as the rotation of the Earth itself, the value of g is not just dependent on the position, but also on time.

Nevertheless, due you claim that there should not be any variation in g with altitude?

I've made no claims.

or any facts

you've made no facts either just claims. I questioned your claims. I did not say you are wrong.

you've made no facts either just claims. I questioned your claims. I did not say you are wrong.

and i did not say you were wrong. but if you are going to demand for evidence than i think you should give some yourself. you asked a question, it was answered and you all you could say was, "i have made no claims". thats called changing the subject. really i am not saying anyone is wrong. how would i know? i have never been to space!

I look out the window and i see the ground is round.
