Now to throw same rain on the parade - there is a very serious branch of theoretical physics that accepts the Earh as flat - in fact it insists on it!
But it doesn't stop there - in fact it says everything in the entire universe is two dimensional and its our minds that infer a third dimension. I must say you can have alot of fun with the maths here - so long as it is internally consistent - you can hypothesis anything you want - even if it is completely counter-intuitive. The point becomes unless you can dis-prove it - the simplist thing to intuit will probably be all you need in everyday life.
