Youre seriously asking about the 1/1000 thing after I explained why it would not matter.
You most certainly did not explain it...
And it most certainly does matter... If you can't guarantee the levelness of the laser any measurements you take on the other side are invalid.
And I swear to god... if you respond with "nuhh, uhh I did explain it" and you don't link to your previous comment, you're getting blocked, cause your entertainment value is out the door when the annoyance factor reaches a certain level.
What is the point?
My point is were onto like the 3rd or 4th proof that the earth is a sphere.
If you get that laser perfectly level, I will accept your experiment and it will prove me right.
there are many people who have done laser tests
Show me what instrument they used to gauge the levelness of the line then.
Find any open body of water, so you can use it for level.
You make a trip pod that holds a laser, put the tripod in the water and adjust the height of the laser to 30 cm above the water
At same time, a similar set up with a target 🎯 that is across the lake.
Point laser at target, measure the distance of the laser point on the target with the level of the lake.
I'm sure you can understand from here, right? Lasers are straight, so of earth was a globe, the laser should be higher than 30cm, depending on how far the laser is from the target.
What you will observe is that the laser is at about the same height, the tiny variation is within the tolerance of an imperfect setup and it's well within margin of error to conclude that the earth doesn't curve.
That's it. No amount of mental gymnastics will change it. Earth doesn't curve, so the rest of the talk about space, stars, planets has to be pseudoscience. You don't even need to discuss them because these basic laser test so definitively defeats those theories
Find any open body of water, so you can use it for level.
Water is not a level.... Much less an open body of water with wind and waves.
Give me fucking break. That's even more retarded than thinking the earth is flat.
What you will observe is that the laser is at about the same height, the tiny variation is within the tolerance of an imperfect setup and it's well within margin of error to conclude that the earth doesn't curve.
Stop. Water is level. On a lake ona calm mornin, total glass. And you are the one who would have to prove that it's not leve, making such a claim is stupid.
Obviously I know wind and waves make water move, duh. How fucking smart do you think you are?
You are really over complicating things. I call it mental gymnastics. You're subconscious is doing it's best to justify that you don't need to question your truth, what you think is the truth. It's hard for the human mind to adapt to being fooled.
And one more thing before you're blocked for good...
Here's a list of all the things you've been totally wrong about that I can remember.
1.) You said the horizon doesn't curve... It in fact does because it travels in a big circle and ends where it started. That's a curve.
2.) You said you can't observe the curvature of the earth... You can by verifying that the distance of the horizon gets farther away when you go higher up.... That is observing the curvature along one axis. Then you can observe it along another axis by verifying that no matter what height you go to the horizon will always be the exact same distance away in all directions.
3.) You denied the geometric tautology that every shape has an edge, and tried to define empty space as a shape.
4.) You told me an experiment for proving the earth is flat. And yet, you quickly back-tracked and attacked YOUR OWN experiment as invalid because you didn't like the lake I picked.
5.) You claimed that you can eyeball a laser pointer level to an of accuracy of 1/1,000th of a degree, and then put the burden of proof onto me to disprove it.
Just to put the stupidity of that into perspective, that is more than 5x as precise as the base of the great pyramid of Giza, which is renowned for being one of the most precise buildings ever constructed in human history.

No, it's not within the margin of error at all.
Let's do the math...
https://www.calculator.net/triangle-calculator.html?vc=&vx=2&vy=&va=90&vz=126720&vb=&angleunits=d&x=Calculate
Angle A = 90 degrees (the target standing vertically)
Side B = 2 inches (a desirable margin of error)
Side C = 126720 inches (2 mile distance)
Result: Angle B = 0.00090429. (the angle of the laser on the 1st bank)
That means for roughly every 1/1,000th of a degree that laser is off, the dot on the other end will be 2 inches higher or 2 inches lower.
That's a range of 4 inches. That's an acceptable tolerance.
But the most accurate construction levels I could find boast an accuracy of 0.029 degrees. https://vinatools.de/70-nivo-spirit-levels/
So assume you use that tool and it tells you that the laser is level...
But really it's 0.029 degrees off from true level....
Now lets plug that info into the triangle calculator, and see what our margin of error becomes at a distance of 2 miles.
https://www.calculator.net/triangle-calculator.html?vc=&vx=&vy=&va=90&vz=126720&vb=0.029&angleunits=d&x=Calculate
Angle A = 90 degrees (target standing vertically)
Side C = 126720 inches (2 miles)
Angle B = 0.029 (the margin for error when using a construction level)
Result: Side B = 64.13876 inches (the margin of error you will get)
That means if the laser is off by just 0.029 degrees it will be 64 inches higher or 64 inches lower than your desired target.
That is a range of 128 inches that you can expect to be off in either direction when using a construction grade leveler.

Obviously I know wind and waves make water move, duh. How fucking smart do you think you are?
Saying something stupid and then trying to flip the burden of proof onto me to disprove it?
Nope.... Not having it...
With this final piece of sophistry your entertainment value is officially gone. Consider yourself blocked.
