It seems so crazy to me. How are the constellations the same for tens of thousands of years if the universe is constantly expanding and moving?

I feel like i am conditioned to believe we live on a spinning ball, when it truly doesn’t feel like we are. I don’t want to be considered a flat earther. I just want to know for myself what we live on. I want to see the curvature when looking out into the ocean with binoculars - I don’t seem to see it.

Is the curvature 8 inches per mile squared? Or has that been debunked? Because if that number is true - it should be easy to see the curvature looking across a body of water.

The ocean looks flat as a pancake. Water tends to take the shape of its container. Its wild that gravity is supposedly what causes water to bend in the shape of a ball. Seems like more of a convenient explanation than something that can be proven. Yes, things with mass are stuck to the surface of the Earth, but isn’t density the reason for that?

Have any of you taken a dive into other theories about our planet?

What are your thoughts? Any good videos on this?
