But Pete, surely saying you did the experiment and henceforth believe the world is flat, then not telling people your experiment results is counterproductive? If you don't want to show your evidence yet claim the earth is flat, it looks a little suspicious. In little school, someone told me they had a 20ft christmas tree in their frontroom, but when I asked to see it they said no because they "don't have to show me anything" and "it's not my problem if you dont believe me". They told me to go look at a 20ft tree as proof that one exists, which is supposed to be proof that their tree is 20ft. All the while not wanting to show me that tree of theirs.
To literally everyone, the 20ft tree is an obvious fib and no one will go out of their way to prove otherwise if the person isn't willing to show a picture of their tree or invite them in to see it. You could say you did this experiment and it shows the world is flat, but unless you show your findings I don't think anyone will waste their time going out of their way to do an experiment when they're confident the earth is a spheroid.
You presumably care about FES gaining traction and want the truth to come out for all to see, but IMO it won't gain traction saying "I did this thing and it showed me the earth was flat, but I'm not showing you!" I get the whole wanting people to find out for themselves but if a society doesn't work together on findings, you'd never really know if anyone was lying, seeing errors without realising, outright trolling, wasting peoples time etc.
I'd be really interested in seeing yours and Toms results on the experiment and if it does seem to show results that suggest the earth is flat and not spheroid then I'd be more inclined to go out and try it myself. Maybe it's just in my nature to question results that go against what I think, but until those results are shown I'm just going to keep on thinking you're wrong, which most of the world will do.
Give people something to question I guess, give something that challenges the globe and gets people thinking "hey, they might be on to something here!". Give us some actual results.
