Why would I have to convince you. Flat earth is an observation, no one claims to have a complete model if you can’t see that then theirs no helping you. Globe earth needs the explanations Example: why don’t I feel the earth spinning? Example: why don’t I see any curvature? Example: how does the moon glow brighter than any rock we have on earth? Example: why does the moon travel the same path as the sun Example: why is the sun and moon the same size Example: why do we have the same constellation for thousands of years Example: how do you achieve gas pressure next to a vacuum Example: how do lasers travel hundreds of miles over earth curvature Example: why don’t planes account for earth curve or spin Example: why do countless emergency landing not make sense on a globe and line up with the flat earth Example: what is gravity

Flat earth is an observation,

No one can see a flat earth - no photos, no high altitude balloons, zero observations. The 'flat' horizon you see is the edge of the curve on a HUGE ball.

no one claims to have a complete model

Yes, we do. See Magellan's ship's logs where he sailed West and came back from the East.

if you can’t see that then theirs no helping you.

See what? Lack of evidence from your side?

Globe earth needs the explanations Example: why don’t I feel the earth spinning?

Motion is felt by G-force - Do you feel like you're moving 500 miles per hour in a jet once you get to a 35K cruise? Once you are 'at speed' you no longer feel any G's

Example: why don’t I see any curvature?

Because you are an ant on a huge ball. Take a macro lens and put it on a basketball it looks flat. https://imgur.com/gallery/nSGtPtz

Example: how does the moon glow brighter than any rock we have on earth?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. Light has no hindrances or needs to go through anything. Here, we have air to affect light, oxygen to change colours of minerals through oxidization so on and so forth.

Example: why does the moon travel the same path as the sun

Because Earth is a huge MASS that attacks other things with MASS - which is why meteors crash into the earth. The earth 'sucks' things towards it FROM ALL SIDES - which is why water stays curved all around us, water is 'pulled' from all sides. The Moon is actually drifting away from Earth (can't recall the distance per year) but it is not 'forever' in our orbit.

Example: why is the sun and moon the same size

They are not. We see it the same size during a lunar eclipse but that is like holding a basketball at arm's length converging up the sun. Try it.

Example: why do we have the same constellation for thousands of years

We don't - the earth wobbles so in ancient times, they had slightly different angles to the constellations.

Example: how do you achieve gas pressure next to a vacuum

Gas/Air has mass just like water, it is pulled towards the center of our big beautiful ball. If the earth was flat, it would defy all physics and not explain why we have an atmosphere.

Example: how do lasers travel hundreds of miles over earth curvature

Lasers are no different than other light sources, they spread out like a cone. If you are very high up, say like a very tall mast/antenna, you can receive the light, however, given enough distance, there is a limit.

Example: why don’t planes account for earth curve or spin

Planes, like water, and air are constantly being pulled towards the center. When we fly, we fly around the ball since we never overcome the constant pull of gravity. We don't fly straight off in a line because gravity would be impossible to overcome unless we had rockets strapped to the wings.

Example: why do countless emergency landing not make sense on a globe and line up with the flat earth

What? Don't understand this one.

Example: what is gravity

Lol, even the smartest people in the world don't know everything about gravity. Gravity is something that continues to be studied since all science is based on theories. The more PLAUSIBLE a theory, the more PROBABLE. Flat earth has never been theorized by anyone in academia so it is IMPLAUSIBLE. Einstein wrote a paper "The Theory of Relativity" which was originally scoffed at by some.

If you really think the earth is flat, write a paper on it and submit it to academic publications like all the other scientists do.
