So is there an element of doubt as to whether the earth is flat?

An excellent example!


Put a ball on the ground and it will stay still!

To the inhabitants at the time this was "proof" that the earth was flat

Then someone proved mathematically that it wasn't - some believed this and some didn't but neither could unequivocally "prove" the earth was round or flat.

This is where many debates are at present


Then the astronauts flew into the dark regions of space and "proved" the earth wasn't flat.

Now we know unequivocally that the earth is a sphere and the flat earth theorists are wrong given the new proof.


.. and everyone lived happily ever after!

























Until someone came along with a theory that the whole space race wasin fact a hoax perpetrated to draw attention from other political and financial issues. This then casts doubt on the proof that the Earth is round - so there is some doubt!

No, no doubt at all.

I'd rather you answered my question:

Oh, OK. It's just that you said "if two people have a different view on a subject, then an element of doubt is always evident" Do you now think that's not the case?

Okay I'm bored and will play along, I asked you and you said you don't think the earth is flat, so who does think it is flat ?.

Having just spent a fortune on a 11/32 cassette it certainly ain't flat round my house, and if it was flat I would be able to see Australia out of my window with Binoculars, come to think of it my neighbour looks like a Kangaroo, of course without the Tail, big feet ,pouch,fur, and he doesn't hop, just sort of meanders, anyway I digress.
 
It is in a quantum state. It is flat and it is also round. If you test for flatness you will prove it. If you test for roundness you will prove it ;)

I regret that you are only partially correct.

There is another potential state which would explain more succinctly the synthesis of rotundity and flatness:
