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.
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.
