If you walk in a straight line from a circle, you are in fact on a tangent to that circle. You are not walking in a straight line from a circle, you are walking in a straight line on a circle.
Not possible to detect the circular path achieved by simply remaining 90° from north.
And you certainly aren't making any turns: you are 'sketching' out a million straight lines--- all of them pointing along that same cardinal point--- and that line would eventually form a circle when viewed in its entirety, would appear as though the path was a constant turn to the left.
But not a single turn occurred, any more than any turn takes place when you're simply standing in one spot facing east.

So if it is not 25K miles circumference, what is the size of Earth? 16,262 miles, give or take.
Originally posted by sonhouse 5 digit accuracy. How do you come across that number, or more correctly, how did your flatass buddies come across that number?
Are you saying Earth is like some kind of inverted bowl, hollow in center or some such?
What I don't get it, we look up to the moon, the sun, and if one has a telescope, Mars and Venus, and Saturn, and Jupiter, and they are all round looking.

Why would Earth be different?
Boy are you behind times. Didn't you know Earth is the center of the entire universe? AND said universe spins around US which is why we see the stars move. They do have that pesky detail to explain, why stars below the equator seem to be moving in the opposite direction to the north.

I'm going to settle this once and for all, I'm going to place a marble on the floor. If it rolls, the earth is round, if not, it is flat.
Ok, here is goes...........................................................No!!!!!!!!
Sorry gramps, let me help you up, or should I call the squad?
I've said it before, I'll say it again. The first caveman who deduced the earth was flat was a genius. Any neanderthal can see the earth goes up and down, all mountains and valleys. It took a stone-age einstein to see that shoot, it kinda averages out.
