I've been researching flat Earth for years, and I say "yes." There is an excellent chance that all of us have been lied to for our entire lives about the vary ground we walk on. I am not smart, but there is much physical evidence that would suggest that we have been lied to for centuries about the shape of the Earth, and reality in general.
You must do your own research and stop believing what you were taught at an age where you still believed in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.

It could be, not likely, but it could be. Both sides make a good argument.
Water does find level ground, when something rotates everything on the surface flies off that surface and there are many ancient cultures who's views on the subject have been lost or hidden.
On the other hand, if all the other planets in our Solar System are round, why would the Earth be a different shape? Engineers claim they account for the curvature of the Earth when building long bridges and roads.
So I think it’s great you're doing your own research. Look at all you find and draw your own conclusion.
@calicuz Thanks for not being a prick, like so many others. I believe that the mere thought of a creator freaks a lot of atheists out. There is no solar system or other planets. We live in a geosystem. The Earth is the only place that harbors life.
I'm not gonna be a jerk to someone looking for answers. That's the problem with the world, they accept and believe everything that's told to them without question. Don't stop looking for answers, I know I won't.
@calicuz They run to the same point, the centre of mass. The run that way until something, the ground, gets in the way.
Not sure what you mean by [i]where does the energy slow enough[/i]. The energy is potential and is simply
E = h*m*g
where E is energy in joules, h is the height (or perhaps more accurately the drop), in metres, g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 metres per second squared.
So if a mass of 1 kg drops one metre then it loses 9.8 Joule.
Things stop falling toward the centre of gravity when something that can't be squashed or pushed sideways gets in the way.
