I'm putting on a $1000 dollar contest on the second for anyone who can prove the world is a sphere without citing NASA or gravity.
Circumnavigation is possible on FE models and for are the phases of the moon. Astrolabe calculators can effectively account for almost all the positions of stars and moon.
Trig shows flat and there is no 24hour live Sat feed, it's only 3 hours at a time with huge inconsistent breaks.

Ok, here ya go...MaliceMizer
Make or buy a telescope ( very high mag), point it at the moon, see the footprints, left by the astronauts.
So, we now know, that we really did go to the moon. From that we can "prove" that gravity exists, that zero exists, that the earth and the moon are globes.
We can also "prove", using simple logic, that like charges repel, and that when you send me all your fg, in thanks for clearing all these things up...that you will, in fact, have zero fg left. Which will be further proof of the existence of the real number zero.
/e Thank you all...no applause necessary. :D

Halley did the same thing after he mapped and calculated the comet trajectory good for thousands of years and he's pretty sure the Earth is a sphere so I'll go with that.

It's a minor point, but you can't actually do that.
LOL, I know you can't.
