Except the point of rotation moves depending on where you’re standing”
I suppose you believe airplanes don’t exist, otherwise I would have you bound and gagged and put on an airplane flying from north to south to watch as Polaris falls to the horizon.
Perhaps
Nope.
. How can we best measure that to validate it for ourselves?
Rudimentary geometry.
you fucking propagandist
Yes, and? Stop lying and you’ll stop being called out.
Exactly, and since a flat earth would see the point never become invisible
So you assume. However, if the world is flat - you clearly assume incorrectly.
Yep.
This is a (popular) misunderstanding. Eratosthenes never set out to measure or validate the shape of the earth. He merely set out to calculate the circumference of the earth assuming it was a sphere. His procedure depends on the world being a sphere - so obviously it can’t determine if it is or not. If the earth is not a sphere (or the sun isn’t unfathomably far away, or one of many other unvalidated assumptions aren’t correct) then his calculation and procedure are meaningless.

Why would you suppose something so silly?
The point of rotation doesn’t move - you do (wether on an airplane or by foot).
Care to elaborate? Do you know of anything else that is measured (as opposed to calculated) with geometry?
Everything you don’t agree with isn’t automatically
propagandaa lie.Exactly, and since a flat earth would see the point never become invisible, and since in reality it does, your psychosis is clearly paid shilling.
Yep.
Truth isn’t a matter of agreement, paid shill.
