lol, i know the world is enclosed but in a different way than your fantasy spinning globe.
"no-one is more imprisend than the one thinking he is free."
I didn't mean to offend you with my post, I'm genuinely just curious about the model. My "belief" is that the earth is round and I have knowledge in physics and astronomy to back me up, however I enjoy thinking outside the box once in a while
day and night cycles, just watch the vids and you will awaken
Those videos contain many hours of content, and sadly I don't really have time for that. But I started watching the video called "Flat Earth - Simplified, Summarised, and Theorised", thinking it would sum up everything.
The first thing he starts with is bashing Newton. I mean, okay, you think he's wrong about gravity and everything else he has done so it's understandable. But literally all mechanics are built around his ideas. You wouldn't be able to watch those YouTube videos if it wasn't for Newton's work... He is not wrong, since everything we build works perfectly fine, and you can't even argue with that.
Then he shows some photos taken on earth which shows a flat horizon, and argues that this shows that the earth is flat. He compares it to a flea jumping off a basketball, meaning that the basketball-horizon (as seen from the fleas perspective) will drop and the curve will be visible. Fair enough, lets do some simple math!
Average size of a flea is about 0.2 cm. Diameter of a standard basketball is 25 cm. This gives us 0.2/25 = 0.008, meaning that the flea's height is 0.8% of the diameter of the "basketball-earth". The diameter of earth (assuming a ball-model) is 12742 km. For this analogy to hold, the human needs to be about 102 km tall, or the photo needs to be taken from that height at least. FYI Mount Everest is just short of 9 km high, and that's the photos he's comparing to. About 100 km up it at the Kármán Line, which defines the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. Here's a pitcture taken from that height:

I can clearly see a curve, and this is without the "flea" even jumping! And he talks about the flea jumping 5 inches, which is like half the diameter of the basketball-earth. So literally his entire argument is invalid by just using basic math. But according to him every picture taken high up is fake, so I guess my point doesn't prove anything.
I don't have more time tonight, but I might continue watching it tomorrow just because I find it interesting

Hopefully he makes some better proofs.
Also could you just answer one question for me: Why would anyone fake that the Earth is round? What do they have to gain from it?
