Strange how search engines and Wiki do not have a "terrain theory" page but instead a "germ theory denialism" result. (media.scored.co)

If I can determine if, and I say, so you can you, then logically, I mean it is demonstratable. Does that mean I'm going to demonstrate it for you? Sure, I could, maybe in person, but to overcome resistance you are likely to subconsciously maintain, no.

And yes, thank you for illustrating that you understand my point. I am disproving a theory, not making one.

The globe is a theory, I disprove it. That is all.

Don't remember. Probably works for them. Flat earth is a taboo topic here

Sure. It's easy. The curve of the earth would stipulate that you cannot see a boat that is 2 meters tall, after it has gone more than a few miles from shore, but with binoculars, you can easily see the entire boat in complete clarity, which should be hidden behind the curve.

There is also the sun, when observed by two people in different times zone at the same time, can easily triangulate the angles from the ground to sun to determine that we cannot be on a globe since the angles make a triangle that calculates the distance of the sun from earth. If it was a globe, the angles would imply the sun must be in two different places. This is not an easy to understand concept by text, but if you are inquisitive and resourceful, then you have a chance.

Furthermore, and there are hundreds of way to disprove the globe, you can look at a cloud overhead and thing about how that cloud could maintain the speed with you on the ground despite being significantantly further from the center of a globe, weigh thousands of pounds, and not having any propulsion. You can look at airports in Alaska and airports on the equator, and consider the difference in speed at which they travel according to the the theory of Earth's rotation and determine that it's impossible for a plane to take off from Alaska at a earth speed that is 3x slower than the runway in Panama.

Also, you couldn't tell me one thing, that proves the earth is a globe. You're not capable of it because it's not round.

You've just never tried to see another perspective. You need to take your own advice

Proof? But wasn't it you who said you cannot prove a negative only disprove a theory. That's what I did. If there was curvature, then It would be easy to observe and measure.

I've done it on excel, using trig, and assuming the earth is a globe that is 24,900 miles around. But you can use an algebraic fit of 8 inches per mile squared and it's accurate within 5% for 200 miles.

So, look for yourself, do the math. If earth curves, then by how much. When should you be able to notice the curvature? At sea level? At 7 miles up?

How much would you be able to notice if the earth curved? I'm telling you, 8inches per mile squared is an exponential equation and our minds think in strait line, so you have to adjust for that. Really put on your thinking cap. Don't over focus on my example, choose your own. You can look at buildings, mountain tops, choose your test, observe and think. It's blatantly obvious. Right in front of our faces obvious
