There is no flat earth model in a scientific sense of the word model.

Then what is there? Just delusion and fantasy?

Then what is there?

Evidence; much of it scientific in origin/nature.

Just delusion and fantasy?

There sure is always plenty of that! Typically, that is principally what mythology is.

Delusion and fantasy automatically fill the void of ignorance - it’s biological/constitutional.

Show what? Evidence for the world being flat?

The most obvious evidence comes from hydrostatics (the study of water at rest). Water cannot and does not constantly curve convexly in the manner the globe model requires it to.

The belief that it does, because it must for the world to be spherical (and believed largely covered in water), is just that - an unempirical [aka unscientific] belief.

When water’s surface at rest is measured - barring negligible surface tension artifacts and under natural conditions - it is always level, flat, and horizontal. There are no exceptions, which is why it has been a law of hydrostatics for more than 3 centuries.

I feel it is important to mention/caution that having evidence for something does not make something true.

Of course the Earth is flat, and you are right. How else could anyone explain why all rivers run to the Sea. And that in defiance of "gravity" itself. It makes perfect sense on a flat Earth only.

A model of the flat Earth. It's literally there in the thread title.

As predicted, none of the flat Earthers is able to show one.
