A friend and I attended last night as well. Very interesting indeed. Was pretty surprised to hear that one of the members in the local flat earther group was a surveyor. What's up with that?
Thanks for the invite on this forum or I would have never known about it.
So the earth has no core?

I mean with some basic FEA (or old school equations and calculators) it could be calculated how much material (lets say high strength steel?) would be required to support the weight without deflecting.Quote:

This whole pizza pie thing gets to be quite a complicated engineering problem.
If only there was an efficient shape in the cosmos that could solve this problem....
But, if you dig a hole deep enough, you end up in China.
