At least you recognize it as a throwaway comment. If you want insights into that post, feel free to check out the extensive work done by Globebusters or Jeranism. Every objection I've encountered to FE has been extensively covered by someone.

As I've said numerous times, I'm not getting into those debates on this forum any more. Too many closed-minded hateful people.

Then why are you here posting, over and over?

The concept is easy. Find a spot in one location, then find a spot several miles away. Calculate the required curvature between the two points, then observe it never being there.

You mean the kind of things geodesists deal with constantly?

And I have to ask, all what experiments that measured the circumference are you referencing? You have anything that doesn't involve the inconclusive Greek experiment over 2,000 years ago, or the one on TV a few years back where they tried to show globe measurements but actually marked their measuring spots incorrectly?

Erathostenes' experiment was anything but inconclusive, and it is very easy to repeat and build upon. It gives quite consistent results.

But if you don't like it... how about Al-Biruni?

And, from the lack of a response to the last part of my question, I guess you have never done anything to measure the curvature.

Quite simply, because I want to.

Yes, I have. I've done what I've said, and there is no curve.

It's cute you thing Eratosthenes was proof of anything. Not even Neil Degrasse Tyson believes that (see video), or actually anyone who thinks about it clearly for a few minutes. It's primary flaw is quite obvious.
