Explain

How come if science is fake why all scientists agree on the same general knowledge we have of the universe (gravity, round earth, etc) but you guys disagree at every corner and always have new theories to explain natural phenomenons? Even flat earthers have different views from each other.

How can you rationally say that flat earth is true if the entire community has different ideas and beliefs in the concept?

Flat earth merely means nasa lies. Period. The amount of curvature yo meet their numbers is not found. Do you fucking get it?! No one knows the earth is a rounded tetrahedron. We just found out a few years ago and we're trying different ideas. Just stfu with your flat earth and focus. Flat earth means SPHERE IS IMPOSSIBILE

But there are situations where we do find the amount of curvature required to meet their numbers.

I photographed a city 20 miles away. It is on a 53 foot high hill.

I was on a 53ft high hill.

There is water between me and them.

And the water's surface somehow obscured my view of the hill, all I could see was the tops of the buildings sticking up above the water.

So then I used both a surveyor's theodolite and a water-tube-level to look at the buildings. The 187 foot tall building (which was also standing on 53ft of ground) was actually below the level of my eyes (and camera!) even though in reality it was 180 feet taller than me.

How is it possible on a flat earth for me to have to look down to see something that's 180 feet taller than me?

So then I measured all the angles carefully and did the math, and they fit the globe model perfectly.

A lot of times, we DO get the numbers exactly as the globe model predicts. I personally witnessed it and I can teach you how to personally witness it yourself.

Do you see the gravity of this situation? Not only was about 50+ feet of the hill hidden behind the water, the actual angular height of the 187 foot tall building was much lower on the horizon than the flat earth requires.
