Facts of real physics should be our primary method to determine the world's shape👍
✅Water at rest is level. ✅Spinning balls produce centrifugal force. ✅Air can NOT sync speeds over a moving surface. ✅Chicago is visible from 50 miles. ✅I can go on, and on, and on.
It is tiresome to see the same lame arguments trotted out again and again for the globe, especially those that depend on iffy sources (government agencies). The as told model is not correct, is not factual, is made up and synthesized and you're basing your belief on the made up "social proofs" and video testimonials.
Many cowards have committed to the legacy globe model so hard they will never admit they are wrong even if they know it isn't true. Others are too stupid to realize they've been tricked.
When a man comes face to face with a conspiracy so big, so earth shattering and outrageous, he becomes paralyzed and cannot accept it, even though it's staring him right in the face.
could this simply be solved with someone building or moving a very powerful telescope to a beach and trying to look across the ocean? I am not sure the amount of money it would cost honestly but if we have telescopes that can see with precision the moon would that not suffice for this type of experiment? seems pretty simple to me. Another alternative would be a laser. Place a reflector on the beach of a place and shine a laser at it. Again if we can do this with the moon we should be able to do this with a sea or ocean of sufficient length. One could even hype it up get people to gather on each side of the body of water. All sorts of things. Seems to me either model should be easy to prove and not require mega money or government participation to do.
Thinking about it, in some places one might even be able to find a long enough stretch of highway to do a test. Again no mega money or government needed. The test would then be repeatable and verifiable by anybody.
People done so. Light test over a frozen lake with 4 lights set up, furthest light at 8 miles away, closest light at 5 miles away. Camera set up 12.7 inches over the lake, lights at 1 foot over the lake. All lights came out at a flat plain. Absolutely no curvature detected.

My suggestion, do these sorts of experiments yourself, all you are going to find is that earth is flat.
This is why you idiots fail every time; in the linked video;
Light does not travel in a linear plane - it spread out like a cone.
At 1:51 you can clearly see that the furthest light away is only partially visible compared to the closer lights
If the earth was truly flat all lights would be equally as bright. At 1:51 they are NOT equal because the furthest one is reduced in height because of the curvature of the earth
Someone actually made this video thinking they were smart, but just provided evidence of the curve.
Morons.
Try going to 1:52 and the farthest one is more bright then the other ones again.

No it is not that simple. Water and dirt and pollen etc will cause refraction.. some days visibility is very poor only can see about 2-3 miles, and then sometimes you can see 25-40 miles or more, much more. If there's a tropical storm nearby for example you can see stupidly far because all of the moisture and etc are getting sucked into the storm (right before and right after it passes). Cooler days are better for distance. Hot humid days are terrible usually. Eventually enough moisture in the air will prevent you from seeing any further.
So then set it up and leave it up and even connect it to a live stream on the internet. It would prove so many points then. It could also answer the following questions:
Honestly this could be done with crowdfunding and would be really informative. As well it would be a good resource to reference if it was all above board. Publish professional quality schematics and an accurate audit of the cost of items used. A form section could be included for discussions and explanations.
The entire thing could be treated like a big science experiment. One might consider not even phrasing it as a Flat Earth proof text but simply a "Experiment on visibility of the horizon from the edge of the sea/ocean."
If one did an empirical based experiment that was repeatable and transparent in everything it did then that might encourage others to do similar things with other things. One might even consider not posting that it "proves" anything and let people come to the conclusions themselves.
That's not a bad idea I have saved this in my notes. You need a few reference points in the background you can see (specifically a water height marker for when the tides change, most cargo ships have markers as well on the side that work as a good reference also). Another thing would be determining when to activate the zoom. With a p1000 if you look at the wrong time you will just zoom into what appears to be fog, or refraction/mirage.
I'll save you the bother;
