Who measured what dome?
Figurative vs literal. The god ra can certainly be reasonably interpreted (in such depictions) to be the dome found in subsequent (and textually a direct descendant) depictions - such as the bible.
Dome to us implies hemisphere or portion of hemisphere. Even in the bible the dome is described as a tent. Tents can be hemispheric in our day, but they weren't back then (or even 50 years ago).
Dome figuratively, yes. Dome literally, perhaps not. The shape of the dome is not certain, assuming it exists - which, as i said, is a scientifically sound conclusion.
Let's stick to literal then!
Is there a dome at all that is over the flat earth? One that can be seen, felt, or measured?
As i already said (regardless of the shape of the world) it can be soundly deduced that a "dome" (container of some sort) exists because we have sustained and consistent air pressure. Without a container, that would not be possible - there are several scientific laws which demonstrate this.
Everything real can be measured. Other than intriguing rumors of "skystone" and its description in the bible (crystal of a pale hue) we don't know what the dome is made of, assuming it is real and tangible.
Reverse logic won't work with me, unfortunately. There could, theoretically, be other reasons why we have a sustained air pressure. You can't just say that it must be this because you can't think of another possibility.
So now you're open to the idea that it's not real, and may not exist. Great! Let's expand on that. What other reasons could there be?
Please describe this "reverse logic" in detail. I have no idea what you are referring to. It is "normal logic" (and scientific law) to deduce the domes [container of some sort - not necessarily a dome] existence (and necessity) from the existence of persistent air pressure.
Anything is possible in imagination, in reality - not so much. It is a scientific law; air pressure is derived from and contingent upon the container walls.
I try to stay open to as many ideas as i can, even when they seem ridiculous. You might give it a try!
None that i am aware of, and/or that are consistent with known and established scientific law. (except possibly involving impossible cold, which we do not experience and even in theory probably cannot exist in reality) Gas always expands to fill an available volume - it's another law.
From your perspective a "field" could be used instead of a physical wall - but this would require preposterously enormous and, even more preposterously, unlimited energy. In my view, fields are themselves made of matter - so the container wall is physical in every case.
Of course i remind you that "dome" is used somewhat figuratively. The true shape, composition, and size are unknown. The term "dome" is merely inherited from hebrew/christianity.
