What about the curvature of the shadow that the earth casts on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
How does day/night work in that model?
You won't get that because there is no edge. Oh, perhaps you mean the edge of the continent.Okay, I'll into it. I do require a team with cameras to walk in a straight line however, until they reach some kind of an edge.
Isn't the curvature evident in home-made videos such as this?
The camera was dropped from ~ 25 000Kms / 80K feet

Consider also what gravity would be like on a flat Earth.
I'm working on this.
Wide angle, yes. Fisheye, nope. Otherwise we'd see the black corners...Fisheye lense, I presume.

Any contraption that has been sent outside the atmposhere to take pictures shows the same thing:
Copernicus had the earth going around the sun. How would this work with a flat earth.The sun goes around the earth, I guess. Whatever Copernicus thought, that's how it goes.
I don't understand. When it is grounded it is filmed by other cameras...Well, whatever you call it, I can see the bending of landscape when the rocket is grounded, so this only leaves me more puzzled.
Also, the only way to produce a convincing spherical effect with a fisheye lens is to use a circular fisheye lens.Fisheye lense, I presume.
I don't know anything about that. Real gravity would vary from the center of the flat disk to the edge. At the edge, all the gravitational force would be pulling you backward. This would effect such things as the escape velocity of the Earth.What would it be like? I think I'll subscribe to that universe model LoneShaman was into, so we're talking electricity then, not gravity.
Wouldn't we notice if we were accelerating upward versus rotating? In particular, wouldn't we be zooming along at quite a clip by now? In fact, such a clip that the rate of acceleration would have to decrease as we neared light speed?I think the idea is that the flat earth is continually accelerating upwards, and thereby simulating a gravitational pull that's uniform over its whole surface.
What's the trick to keeping the atmosphere contained?
You mean the atmolayer, of course.
Apparently it's believed to be "held in by a complex reaction to the streams of Dark Energy at the edge of the world."
