What do people say the radius of the Earth is? about 3963 miles and flat Earthers can't find an edge?

When the Earth is accepted as a sphere, a precipitately condensed object, anybody can find another edge right where he is. All these edges are final too but the flat Earthers never tell where the edge is or the edges are, or where anybody might possible fall off.

:facepalm:  You need to stop with this garbage.  FEs can't "find" the edge because no one is permitted to go down to Antarctica.  Even then, the climate there would require an extraordinary amount of expensive resources to make an expedition.  This stupid "fall off the edge" nonsense really discredits your ability to rationally discuss this topic.

Brahe was a geocentrist so he had that part correct, imho, but he's got this wrong. What does one think is predicated of space as pure space?

Well, besides some nature of inherent connection and universal sameness, there is direction, for one, which seems predicated of space. Direction and some extent or extensiveness, also the properties of balance and more or less, which are like quality and quantity. In fact, it seems evident that there are in total six cosmic directions in space. Descartes as well as Euclid could have it described by the origin at X, Y, and Z. Space itself is not flat except in a restricted limit of two dimensions only in a plane, but pure space is always the same and more, so the whole picture of it is as a sphere, especially when it comes to pure space.

When people make it to the mountain top and really breathe in the air, it's not a flat experience. It's 3-D and spherical. Inspiration and respiration are not flat and neither are the Heavens which can even be said to represent divine inspiration.
I was providing information provided by a professional in the know who's expertise presented prior to the layers of various contradictory arguments built up over time.  As far as the ground being flat, earth is thoroughly and demonstrably 3-D with mountains and valleys over a surface.  Seems globers lose their depth perception in this discussion and think we're saying earth is flat as a piece of paper.

Okay, so how many sides are there to the flat Earth?

The only side that matters is the side that humans live on, but that doesn't mean earth hasn't got depth, at the very least 8 miles deep and probably a lot deeper.  8 miles is the deepest human beings have ever explored but the oceans are incredibly deep. And scripture talks about the 'great deep' and also says that earth has foundational pillars upon which God founded the whole thing, so there's no doubt earth has a lot of depth. There's also no doubt earth has mountains and valleys and hills.  It just isn't a globe.

The humans all live on one side?
