Good point, why repeat the thousands of years of experiments that have proved the oblate spheroid shape of Earth.
the thousands of years?
Aristotle wasn't aware of selenelion eclipses
Eratosthenes was wrong and wasn't aware sundials dont work on a sphere and had to assume sunlight was completely parallel in cities 700km apart when clearly it is not
Copernicus died a year before his Heliocentric model was published and quickly adopted by the C of E and taught to the lower classes because it was seen as a boost to the elite merchants who made their money by sailing and trade.
Newton never believed in gravity, he even said it was a silly theory.
No one ever saw Cavendish's "experiment" - it was only assumed it was correct when they read about it in his journal after he died.
Einstein prove that gravity was not a force and the result of space time.
There's actually more proof that gravity is not real, and no proof that gravity is real.
But if you have a proof for gravity - Id love to see it - i want to believe in your faith but i just cant at this time.
