LOL.... You don't even get the analogy?! Hahah... Of course not... Okay bud, I'll break it down for you.
The reason you don't measure your driveway with your odometer is because your driveway is very small, and your odometer measures a VERY large distance in comparison..... Got it?
The reason you don't measure the earth's curve at a distance of 2 miles using a 12 inch ruler is exactly the same... The curve at that distance is very small and your 12 inch ruler measures a VERY large distance in comparison..... Got it?
It's your own experiment. Shine a laser across a lake... You shouldn't complain about it being too far away.... Being far away is the whole point as that's how you prove there's no curve!
If it's a straight line with no objects in the way asking a laser to shine 200 miles is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.... Totally within the capabilities of any decent laser...
Go do it at lake victoria..
You don't even have to make sure it's level with the ground....You don't even have to measure the height of the beam on either side.
The one and only thing you need to prove is that the laser is visible on the other side... That's it...
If you can see the laser from ANYWHERE on the other side, even a brief flash for just a millisecond, you've just disproved the curve....
