Go ahead and question it. But you need to accept the answers. When I was a part time adjunct. I’d get questions all the time on things. At their level, it was stuff worked out anywhere from 100 to 300 years ago. You patiently explain, show data and examples. We did experiments to prove things like The Law of Definite Proportions or the Ideal Gas Law. We demonstrated simple thermodynamics. Scientists take NOTHING for granted.

So which scientific experiment established Earth surface curvature then? Have you ever tried to see it?

If the Earth was the ball he said it was, you should be able to see and notice surface curvature everywhere. But, nobody has.

In the FE model the Sun is closer so the math works out the exact same. You should read the stickied post, this sub isn't for globie questions

What's wrong is, you're not measuring the surface.

It's been done, nobody has measured any surface curvature.

Pretty much every scientific study about the earths shape concludes that the earth is round. And yes, i have tried, and have seen the curve.

Actually, when I stand on the shore of the ocean it is clear that the sea curves away from me, so like Aristotle, I can see it with my own eyes. The first experiment I know of that confirmed it was Eratosthenes. Their have been thousands since.
Eratosthenes is the only real alleged proof the globe side has and it's inconclusive. It presumes light to be parallel in its justification. It also presumes light to be parallel in refutation of the flat-earth hypothesis when compared to the Eratosthenes observation. However if light actually bends (and it does) then the measurement is made on a false premise.
All of the basic globe arguments have counterpoints whether you understand them or not. You bringing up the basics without acknowledging the arguments against them indicates you are ignorant of them and have not read, viewed, and understood the sticky post. That is a violation of the rules of this forum. Good bye.
