I suppose I can't prove its not all a figment of my imagination or a digital simulation, but whatever it is... it's not a spinning globe.
Like I can't prove its flat, it might be a huge turtle shell. But I can prove its not a sphere of 21,600 naughtical miles using laser tests and observing objects far beyond what should be geometrically possible. I just call it flat cause it seems to be.
we dont have to prove what it is, just what it isnt
Exactly
Then prove it instead of declaring you can prove it.
Here is a semi recent observation I took. However it should have been hidden by more curvature than I showed in this example. The tallest peak of an island was 70.5 miles from my location. I wrote 64 miles because that was the distance of the nearest shore of the island. Had I done the calculations for 70.5 miles rather than 64, the island wood have been hidden 600 feet under the geometric horizon. So I was actually generous in this example.

You CAN prove it by testing for curvature. Just need a landmark that’s far enough away, preferably over water.
Well I'm just saying, if the curvature were a million times more subtle then they tell us, but was still there.... I might have a hard time detecting it with optical tests. But since the alleged curve is quite dramatic, it's obviously not there.
Or the plane we live on is a lot bigger than we are told.
