You'll have a hard time getting a flat earther to believe any photograph that disproves their position. The flat earth sits on conspiracy after conspiracy. They deny the science they dislike and embrace the science (from the same group of scientists, ironically) that they like.

Take a look at this u/benf101. It's nearly impossible to detect the curve with the naked eye. https://www.geogebra.org/m/3130963#material/xjUgtYYj

Have you had no experience looking at a surface that looked absolutely level and then you put a level on it and you were wrong. The surface was down a half centimeter on one side. Our brains aren't equipped to differentiate between such small ratios.

As far as the centrifugal force, you can experience it at the equator. The effect is enormously small and gravity overpowers it so much that it is negligible. Our intuitions fail us all the time. That's why we use non-biased science. Go weigh yourself then do it again at the equator with a very precise scale.

God forbid you believe anyones word who disagrees with you.

> I have personally asked this of dozens and dozens of people and I have yet to find one person that could devise such an experiment.

Could that be because your sample size was too small? What if you visited the math and science department of some university? Would your results change?

Well, let me be the first person you ask who can devise an experiment to test the shape of the Earth.

A method for measuring the Earth's radius, as devised by me. Parallax can be used to measure the distance to the moon. A clock can be used to measure the orbital period of the moon. There's multiple ways to measure the gravitational acceleration of the Earth's surface. Take your results and compare them to a purely geometrical measurement of the Earth's radius, say Eratosthenes' method.

Travel south of the equator (or north if you live south of it), and see how there exists a second celestial pole.

Those are just a couple examples. Anyways...

I'm not entirely sure why I should be concerned with whether or not someone else can devise an experiment to test the shape of the Earth. It doesn't matter. What matters is that an experiment be devised and tested, of which plenty do exist.

Someone's ignorance of the math and science is hardly a cause for concern, because all it means is that they need to be educated.

> The distance it travels in our field of view isn't enough to show significant changes in size.

Not true at all, you say it rises and sets because it gets closer and then too far away. But if perspective explains why it appears to rise and set then you must also admit that the sun is showing, and must show perspective effects.

This applet shows you EXACTLY how much change in size we should see everyday according to your model and the agreed-upon laws of perspective.

Don't forget that you must also explain why the Sun doesn't appear to change in angular speed, as it must if it is approaching us and then receding every day.

> I'm saying significant because experiments have been conducted that show the size of the sun shrinking

So in one sentence you tell me that it doesn't change in size. Then in another sentence you tell me there are experiments showing that it does. LOL. Which is it?

> although debunkers will claim it's just flare.

Because it is. Do the same observation with a solar filter, so that all you see is the actual disc of the Sun, and you will see that the Angular Size doesn't change, at all. Red's Rhetoric devoted an entire video to proving this and he did a great job.

Sorry, should have said it in full, Quantum Mechanical Theory (QMT)

I only defend the occult because the stigma against the word makes it seem like a load of edgy wizards running round cursing people. If you look at the people who have actually lived their life by the esoteric teachings, you find they seem to know alot about how people work, and most of the theories use the scientific method to make sure they are keeping on track with their perceptions. Its basically a link between psychology and probability in a feedback loop, that loop we experience as 'time/order of events', an extremely interesting premise.

I recommend Liber Kaos by Peter J Carroll, its a very interesting take on quantum mechanics and its relation to esoteric teachings that have come up in modern times as 'chaos magic' with very little to no 'Woo'
