Flat Earth Theory / Re: Experiment showed me Earth is round, please expose the lie

You "know the Earth can't be round" - what evidence of this?

But the explanation is simply that the experiment was based on the "assumption" that the earth is a sphere. On this basis the experiment does (as did Eratosthenes' experiment) give a rough measurement of the earth's circumference.

If the same experiment is done assuming the earth is flat you get a measure of the height of the sun.
The trouble you will find in this case is that you get a different answer for every different spacing of the two points.
For this 300 km spacing I think the sun height would come out to about 6400 km.
3000 km would put the sun height at about 5900 km and
5000 km would put the sun height at about 5000 km.

Maybe something is amiss with this "flat earth" assumption?

Not helping here. My eyes can see, just expose their lie please.

Flat Earth Theory / Experiment showed me Earth is round, please expose the lie

Hello everyone,

For starters, I believe what my eyes can see, and for all the evidences out here, I consider myself a"knower" more than a believer.

But here is my problem, I was in high school and we conducted an experiment with 2 different high schools separated from mine by a fair amount of 300km. It was rather simple and consisted in planting a pole of 2m long perpendicularly into the ground so that 1.5m was still outside and then we measured the length of its shadow at a particular time of the day.
The 2 other high schools did the same at the exact same time of the exact same day. The point of it all was to compare the lentgh obtained of these shadows. We used then some basic trigonometry to demonstrate the diameter of the Earth as a spheroid object. It was a reproduction of an experiment conducted by some bloke in the ancient greek society.

But then I objected because it i known the Earth can't be round, NASA is just lyng to us, but still they told me that even photos have been taken of the Earth and we see it as round blablabla and more bs.

Here is where I ran down of arguments and I really want to confront them and expose their lies but I don't find how.

Can someone, with his eyes open and more scientific knowledge than me, explain to me how I can prove all this was fake, and that I'm right ?
