Did you ever learn about "gravity" in school? Science is not the enemy, ignorance is.
I also learned about "evolution" and it's tale of one little cell figuring out how to eat, replicate, aspirate, and then, somehow become plant and animal.. male and female... which miraculously all replicate specifically with it's own male and female of the species... Cool story bro.

But, I learned it in school.

I was also told that humming birds never stop flying, Native Americans didn't have beards because they never shaved, lemmings ran over cliffs in heards, Native americans were the first people in North America, fat was bad and carbs were good, if you study hard and work hard you will be rewarded, bad guys never succeed, educated people are smarter than non educated people, an ice age was coming, we were running out of oil, .... and a bunch of other things that were not true....

Kids, be careful what your teachers tell you and what you believe. Question..... everything.

If someone doesn't like the questions... question why that is.

Well, Pluto is not that big and it still orbits the sun which is way way way farther away than we think, in realtion to size.. Two balls hanging on a string... should automatically stick together.... IF.. gravity was a function of mass and distance.

You know, you can do the math. It's basic high school physics stuff. Just plug in the numbers to the gravity equation. And no, a couple balls hanging near each other on strings don't pull each other anywhere near as much as the Sun pulls on Pluto.

Okay, okay, let me do the math for you. F=Gm1m2/r^2. Using meters and kilograms...

Gravitational Constant = 6.67*10^-11
Mass of Sun = 1.99*10^30
Mass of Pluto = 1.30*10^22
Average distance between Pluto and the Sun = 5.90*10^12
Force between the Sun and Pluto: 4.96*10^16 newtons

Let's take a couple balls that have a mass of 1 kg each. Put their centers of mass just a millimeter apart without the balls touching each other. (Which means the balls are very small for their weight, but I'm trying to make a point here.)
Force = 0.0000667 newtons

That's a monumental difference in force.

I don't know about all that but you should read about the scientific method.

At 500 Kilowatts WLW could reach: It was truly “The Nation’s Station.”

The coverage from this station was enormous. Operating at 500 kilowatts, the 390-Ohm base impedance ran some 35 Amperes of RF. The unmodulated signal produced a RF field intensity of at least 6 Volts per meter at a distance of one mile from the tower. At night, the signal regularly went from Maine to Southern California and Mexico.

Requests came from daytime listeners in Hawaii and from Buckingham Palace.
Broadcasts were heard regularly in Columbia, South America. (Time Magazine Letters May 11, 1936)

AM radio signals propagate via the ground wave phenomena and can follow the curve of the earth, unlike higher frequencies which need line of sight.

What did you think there would be on a FE? It doesn't curve down... It doesn't curve up... Then, the further and further away things are, the smaller and smaller they get.. It still doesn't negate a horizon.
Except that on a flat earth, the horizon will always be at eye level no matter what your elevation. A simple experiment with a water level proves this is not the case.

Your thinking with your "ball earth" brain.
I.E., a brain.

On a FE it would take a force to raise an object off the ground.
Why? Yoiu say there's no gravity.

There is no need for some mystery force holding things down.
Then things aren't held down.

Down is just down. Objects have mass. The more mass, the greater the force necessary to raise the object.
If there's gravity. Otherwise, no.

Read the post above.
It'll still be nonsense.

It would have to have a force to hold it up. There is no need for a force pulling it down.
Then it won't stay down.

There has to be a force on the sphere to make everything stick.
Gravity

.
Not so if there is only a flat surface.. Down..... is down.
Not without gravity.

But, the gravity of the billiard balls aren't strong enough to move them a thousandth of an inch.
First true statement you've made.

Actually, this is the case. When the door opened for the world record parachute jump, from the high altitude balloon... there it was.... straight in front of him. There are many other examples.
The horizon is always about mid frame... no matter how high you go.

I didn't see a water level being used in any of your examples.

Maybe you can show your "waterlevel" test
It involves observing the actual horizon, and not a picture. <Laugh> Still nothing from your lot as to why there's a horizon at all.
