Hmm; so like a Frisbee? Do we live on top with the edges curling down, or on the bottom with the edges curling up? Maybe more like a pizza with really thick crust?
No to seeing the edges from the middle, I’ve been to Kansas and couldn’t spot the edges.
As for the shape, my theory is more like a pizza with a thick crust. I haven’t been able to verify though, NASA keeps rejecting my proposals for investigating further.
Kansas is the center of the world? Interesting. You learn new things every day.
Haven’t been there myself, so I’ll take your word on that one.
Thinking back, this hasn’t really answered my original question: how thick is it?
It could be a disc, slowly getting wider and thinner. But it could be a long pole like object, growing fatter but shorter as it spins… Or anything in between.
I hope you and NASA can work out a way to get some photos. A good distanced shot should clear things up pretty quick, I’d think.
Centrifugal force moves the Earth’s mass outwards, so it’s thick at the edges and thin in the middle.

Can you see the edges if you stand in the middle?

Hmm, sure sounds flat.
Wait, it rotates?
Sooo… pizza. Got it.
