Garbage.

Try a drawing compass.

I'd argue that you don't understand it. No matter the size of the container, the meniscus doesn't appreciably change in size. Or are you arguing over a large enough distance, the meniscus can actually make it up, over and all the way around? Lol.

I think you were being disingenious rather than promoting this view, though.

Small enough, not large enough. A drop of water. Gravity perfectly explains how water curves around the earth.

Can you reference a single experiment the sceptical could perform in order to prove that you speak the truth? For example, using gravity to prove that water can uniformly stick to a beach ball or even better, one of those rotating globes?

There was a question by someone about why pilots don't believe the Earth is flat - the link below is to a video showing a number of pilots who do.

Use a water dropper or a spoon to place a drop of water on a hydrophobic surface; the water will form a drop with a curved exterior.

One cannot use gravity to make water stick to a human-scale ball; the gravity of the Earth will overcome it every single time. However, that same gravity is perfectly adequate to explain the oceans "sticking" to the Earth. Why you keep arguing this point is beyond me; either you lack understanding or you're trolling... there are no other options.

Final proof that the earth is a sphere, spinning on a tilted axis. The Dog Days of Summer begin today and run through August 11.

Worse still, he does not want to understand.

No. I find it interesting how closed-minded these flerfers are.

Nope. You just have a poor understanding of science. What is demonstrated on the micro-scale doesn't necessarily apply on the macro-scale, and vice versa. If your argument had any merit, it would be demonstrable on something at least the size of a beach ball (and the larger the object, the more obvious your claim would be, given the size of the Earth that you are claiming your theory applies to).

Your theory doesn't work, and that you still defend it without argument simply demonstrates your ignorance of basic science.

Have you taken even a single Physics class? Your comments lead me to doubt it.

The theory to which I hold can't be demonstrated on a beach-ball-sized model, because the mass of Earth is so much greater that its gravity overcomes the small amount of gravity exerted by the ball. That you don't understand this just causes one's head to shake. In relation to the size of the Earth, a beach ball is micro-scale, and by your argument, invalid.

Basic science? You? You should take up comedy.

Except he's not funny either. Somewhat pathetic, perhaps.

Attacking a person is always a weak argument. Maby you should make a trip to the moon. Another perspective (point of view) is sometimes a mindopener.

19 pilots, out of how much pilotes worldwide?

All pilots know the earth is level. Pilots do not account for any earth curvature when flying planes.

If the earth were "level", pilots would not have to account for changes in elevation.

Pilots do account for curvature when flying long distances; they navigate over great-circle routes.

Repeating yourself does not make your argument valid.
