If earth was a cube then from the shuttle or space station it would have looked like the image on this page:

The analysis on circulating around the Kaba for the 7 firmaments (heavens) may have validity. The location of the kaba is far more important than it's physical shape. Throughout history it's size and structure has changed - even today it's not a perfect cube.

Unfortunately, it's so misleading to invent a theory with no evidence (like the Swiss Astronomer did back in 1884) that it's shape is the same as earth.

@Semar


Thanks for standing up against this nonsense. Even more for a person from inside Islam.


Very appreciated: Airmano

I think people have missed the whole point of my thread.

1) The Space Station and the space Shuttle do not exist.

2) The Earth is not cubed per se but if you look at the shape of the Ka'baa then we live at the top of it, the Earth being a square or a rectangle, hence the reason the horizon is perfectly straight.

3) NASA has been lying to the masses since it's inception.

4) Nobody ( NO BODY) has ever been in 'outer space'. It is impossible.

5) Nobody (NO BODY) has ever taken a REAL pic of the Earth from space, so even today in the 21st Century it is pure speculation how the Earth looks from space.

6) Stop believing in the statanic lies and OPEN your MIND!

1, I have seen the intenational space station and other staelites going across the sky.

2, I have looked at the moon through a telescope and seen the shadows cast by the mountains on the moon.

@Abul:

"I think people have missed the whole point of my thread..."

Not at all, I think we've perfectly understood!

A circular Earth would also have a degree of curvature.


Here is a little experiment that will falsify your claim without any need for space rocket wizardry.

1) Stand on a ship at sea level and look out to the horizon with a telescope.

2) Have a friend in another boat sail in that direction until he goes out of your view.

3) Now measure the distance between you and your friend (it will be around 3 miles).

This means one of 2 things:
A) The most powerful telescopes on earth can only see 3 miles
B) The earth is not flat (which by definition means it must be curved)

You can falsity A by doing the following:

1) Stand on top of a 100 foot pole on a ship at sea level and perform the same experiment.

You will be able to see your friend and if you measure the distance you will find that it is approximately 12.2 miles.

Conclusion
The maximum distance visible by a telescope is not 3 miles.
The earth can not be flat (because if it was, i'd be able to see someone at sea level the same distance away as if I was 100 foot up a pole)

Therefore, the earth has a curve & if you sail around it, you won't sail over any right angles..
