This should be rich, scientifically prove to me the earth is round or admit your only justification for your belief is leaning on borrowed authority.
I don't even believe the earth is really flat; I'm just tired of this disgusting secular religion masquerading as science, because I rather like science.
First, the onus is on you to disprove the current understanding. But, I'll play your game.
If the Earth weren't flat, you couldn't circumnavigate it. If the Earth weren't flat, gravity would exert less force near the edges and things like satellites wouldn't work. Does your GPS work? If so, the planet is certainly not flat.
It is disturbing and sad that a phd in mathematics can't envision circumnavigation on a of a circle about it's midpoint, which would be a concentric circle. I'm just a retarded flat earther, so this is probably pretty embarrassing for you.
Your lack of imagination is also pretty disappointing; as a math whiz I'm sure you are familiar with infinite planes, removing the necessity for an "edge" (which literally zero people who argue flat earth suggest).
My gps works off triangulation, which is provided by cell towers. I'll also add there is a reason apps recommend enabling wifi to "improve the accuracy of gps".
You know what is really sad about this? You not only failed with whatever You were attempting to do here, but none of your attempted disproofs even vaguely represent a scientific approach, which was my entire reason for diving into this argument.
I'll repeat what I said earlier, since all those years getting a phd in mathematics didn't help your reading comprehension much:
scientifically prove to me the earth is round
I'm tired of this disgusting secular religion masquerading as science
Also noteworthy, was that you did indeed lean on borrowed authority for this with your inability to resist the urge to feel smart by pointing out earth is an oblate spheroid (something you were told, and have no means of determining yourself) because using the colloquial "round" is apparently beneath a man of your academic stature. I'm shocked you didn't mention it's pear-like leanings.
Anyways, thanks for playing "doc"
PS: I'm eleven years old and my dad works for Nintendo.

Probably not, they don't believe in the scientific method.

It's not round, either. It is an oblate spheroid.

Your GPS works down the road from my house, where there are now towers.
Secondly, infinity doesn't exist except as a mathematical concept. Nothing is infinite in reality, nothing.
Also, this is kind of fun. I can see the appeal. I should grab a laptop and bang out some serious replies.
