How can the earth be round or flat if solpsism is real?
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.
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.
