gravity?Clouds having 1000's of pounds of water, just sitting above my head, for over 30 minutes, before falling to the ground.
I suspect both cameras were slightly fish-eye, so on one side it slightly exaggerated the Earth's curvature, and on the other side it flattened it out. Notice that in the first image the Earth's curvature is sympathetic to 'barrel' distortion and in the second it is anti-sympathetic - the horizon is in roughly the same position on the left of the image in both but reversed from one to the other.Funny, I saw something similar catching the camera transition right at 4:08, I took a screenshot of both camera views. I identified they were looking right at the same spot due to identical cloud formations, except one camera had a curve and the other did not.

So how would my examples regarding the tides and the stars work under a flat earth paradigm?

It was just a plausible suggestion - I was curious to see whether any counter-argument would be proposed.I appreciate your acknowledgement that fish-eye lenses were in use. The extent of the effects of which, we can agree to disagree.
My understanding is primarily based on science as well as observation and logical reasoning.Again, I was just checking to see if you were making the claim based on your own personal assumptions or not.

Sadly not.

It's a great cure for insomnia, though.Worth noting that the Crew Dragon Demo 2 docking, preparation for transfer, and crew transfer, showed some long (and dull) uninterrupted sequences of zero-g activity that would be extremely difficult to simulate and were entirely unnecessary to show...
What science did I use to prove the earth is a sphere? Astronomy, aviation, meteorology and the physical sciences.And that's what I'm asking. What science did you use to conclude that it could absolutely never occur in a flat earth paradigm? Did you study the workings of that paradigm and then adequately test your assumptions, or did you just assume you know and add the word 'science' to make it seem legit?
We both know what the answer is. Don't even know why you continue to argue about it.
Why would I need to study the workings of a flat earth paradigm?
I answered your question as honestly as possible and to the best of my knowledge. I'm sorry you were unhappy with my answers.To make an informed claim.
I think we're done. I prefer a bit more honesty than you seem to be willing to give. Bye.
Meanwhile, there is only one model for how these things work on a round earth, and it's completely consistent.
Dark matter and dark energy have nothing to do with the shape of the earth. That's like saying you need to understand quantum algebra to figure out that 2+2 = 4.
The 'standard model' requires a cast of trillions to prop it up. A whole fake phony dog n pony universe. All amounts to a bad case of googleplexia.
But let's just focus on the curve then, shall we. Why can't you measure it?
Flat earthers can consistently measure the lack of it, by means of optical, laser, microwave etc. EM experiments of all kinds showing we see much further than we should.
Show me a body of water with a curve in it. Should be straightforward, but you can't do it.
Obviously if you don't understand how to do proper measurements, you're not going to get proper results. When the correct methods are used, even the flat earther 'experiments' disprove their claims, as shown in the 'Behind the Curve' documentary.
