    And here is for those who are not reasonable

    Earth spins on its axis once in every 24-hour day. At Earth?s equator, the speed of Earth?s spin is about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kph). The day-night has carried you around in a grand circle under the stars every day of your life, and yet you don?t feel Earth spinning. Why not? It?s because you and everything else ? including Earth?s oceans and atmosphere ? are spinning along with the Earth at the same constant speed.

    Think about riding in a car or flying in a plane. As long as the ride is going smoothly, you can almost convince yourself you?re not moving. A jumbo jet flies at about 500 miles per hour (about 800 km per hour), or about half as fast as the Earth spins at its equator. But, while you?re riding on that jet, if you close your eyes, you don?t feel like you?re moving at all. And when the flight attendant comes by and pours coffee into your cup, the coffee doesn?t fly to the back of the plane. That?s because the coffee, the cup and you are all moving at the same rate as the plane.

    Now think about what would happen if the car or plane wasn?t moving at a constant rate, but instead speeding up and slowing down. Then, when the flight attendant poured your coffee ? look out!

    Likewise, Earth is moving at a fixed rate, and we?re all moving along with it, and that?s why we don?t feel Earth?s spin. If Earth?s spin were suddenly to speed up or slow down, you would definitely feel it.

    The constant spin of the Earth had our ancestors pretty confused about the true nature of the cosmos. They noticed that the stars, and the sun and the moon, all appeared to move above the Earth. Because they couldn?t feel Earth move, they logically interpreted this observation to mean that Earth was stationary and ?the heavens? moved above us.

    With the notable exception of the early Greek scientist Aristarchus, who first proposed a heliocentric (sun-centered) model of the universe hundreds of years B.C.E., the world?s great thinkers upheld the geocentric (Earth-centered) idea of the cosmos for many centuries.

    It wasn?t until the 16th Century that the heliocentric model of Copernicus began to be discussed and understood. While not without errors, Copernicus? model eventually convinced the world that Earth spun on its axis beneath the stars ? and also moved in orbit around the sun.

    Bottom line Why don?t we feel Earth rotating, or spinning, on its axis? It?s because Earth spins steadily ? and moves at a constant rate in orbit around the sun ? carrying you as a passenger right along with it.

      As I told you, waste of time,
      you cannot challenge a belief system,
      they have settled in their minds for a flat earth,
      that's what they will believe,
      unless a space agency takes them to the ISS for a tour,
      but why would they care to indulge deluded people?

      Have you ever seen the "ball earth" with your own eyes @theNabster!?

      Or does it only exist in your head!?

      Personally, I see a flat earth (with a fixed horizon) when I'm up in the sky!

      At what exact altitude does it become visually apparent that the Earth is a "sphere" @theNab!?

        Why don't you find out for yourself, instead of making a fool of yourself.

        The Earth is flat locally for a human observer, find out the distance needed to start seeing a curvature. You challenge a system and you don't provide decent mathematical proof, or evidence, the onus is on the one challenging, I am happy with the heliocentric theory as a decent map of the cosmos.

          Didn't think so either, Flat head.

            Peace,

            When you Ball earthers provide a link, that surprisingly become a jar of wisdom and reason.But ours are nothing but bullshit and full of nonsense. What a judgement! Bro, We don't have Stanley Kubrick or Carl P(s)agan to show you flat earth. As bro Hicham said,Go & explore.
            Let me ask you a quest Does the plane that are flying also revolve with your ball earth?

              And when you throw a ball inside a plane, does it fall down?

              Have you heard of what pressurised means, we have an atmosphere, it is pressurised as the inside of a plane travelling in the air, our air is the space surrounding us, and our cabin is the earth with its atmosphere.

                Very worrying this flat earth business, this is why the Muslims remain backwards, they are very prone to crack pot theories, so long as they get tricked into thinking the Quran is for it

                like the Ottomans not investing into Science, forbidding the Gutenberg press, because hadiths and Quran never described them, result, they lost their Empire.

                What will you get from proving or disproving a flat or round earth, pray tell me?

                  Tried once,but they said its not allowed. P

                  Have you heard of what pressurised means, we have an atmosphere, it is pressurised as the inside of a plane travelling in the air, our air is the space surrounding us, and our cabin is the earth with its atmosphere.

                      The Earth is a Planet, it is not flat, its atmosphere is pressurised and that's what gives the impression it's stationary while it rotates on its axis, around the sun, and the sun around the centre of our galaxy, all expanding.

                        Well in Science, there is no true or false, there is approximations and models that work or not, if they don't we get better models.

                            Allah created everything, including our ability to understand some of what he allows us and asks us to understand,

                            this is how we live and progress, by marshalling what he has given us, then we die.

                            Well, you can choose to live in a cave, and forget about all the creatures' comfort afforded to you by science, engineering and technology, you still will need to feed and clothe yourself, so I guess some rudimentary means, like cave men, no? is this what you want?

                                I agree Allah says so, He created everything.
                                What does that have to do with your insisting, against all the evidence, that Earth is flat?

                                Flat or Round or cube or trapezoid, Allah created it.

                                The evidence direct and indirect shows it is a round Planet being sustained by laws of gravity, allowing life because it has been pressurised and engineered by Allah to do so, still the Asbab/causes are the laws of Nature, or Physics, like gravity, electro-magnetism, quantum/nuclear physics, biology, geology, etc.

                                    Just wondering.
                                    Are the proofs for shape shifters, new world order, illuminati etc stronger that the proofs for a spherical Earth?
                                    All fake stuff, and lies... where are the proofs of that... solid proof? Or are they just masala for teenage boys during the night in front of the computer? Not saying right or wrong... but are there proofs?
                                    I mean... people use terms like science and pseudo-science, but for what is proof available?
                                    I can use my telescope and check out the moon. I see it with my own eyes. Who have seen shape shifters or whatever lies and scams are out there? Aren't they just ideas, theories or suspicion? Who experienced the fake scams of the world? And I'm not counting things like The Awakening as proof.

                                    Just wondering. What is empirical evidence, and what is urban legend?

                                      So, ye don't get it, huh!

                                      Just ask G-D for G-D's sake!

                                      He* made us along with the heavens and the earth (&c.) in the first place, remember!?

                                      *no gender meant

                                      Is your faith/trust in G-D really this weak @Adamites!?

                                        G-D knows humanity tends to accept/uphold almost anything they are presented with (from humans) as "fact" ...

                                          I am not sure how one can find it a lack of faith to see the Earth's illusion as a spherical one when all signs indicate that it is so except some dubious strange flat theory contradicting thousands of years of studies even before some NASA potential of conspiracy for financial or power gain.

                                          Quran has been shown to be wrong in interpretation several times over. And few of the submitted passages have anything to indicate that the Earth is flat. They do not say "the Earth is flat!" Flatten as verb means that you make a surface smoother and does not prove a finished result to be all flat.

                                          Lack of faith is to think you cannot realize things by firmly having faith in it. Lack of faith is to want to stay in this illusion. Lack of faith is to embrace the body. Lack of faith is to give in to instinctive drive. Lack of faith is to lack meekness and want to proclaim yourself.

                                          The Earth's shape is not a measure of faith. Showing faith you do through your behavior and deeds that your soul is saved during the sifting process when the bad fruit will be left to rot.
