I know you have no response. Because that one simple thing refutes this flat earth nonsense every single day. Makes sure to cover your eyes so you don't see it happening every single day you are alive.

So my question to you, when did I ever say that I believe in the theory?
You understand the idea of a thought experiment right?
Is it just in your nature to be offensive or do you go out of your way to do so?

Ok, do you think that the earth is flat?
Lol I take a neutral stance on the subject, as stated thought experiment!
What I’m wondering about is how a scientific theory that is in conflict with other scientific theory’s has been portrayed as fact, scientific facts cannot be in conflict with each other and remain as fact thus the whole point of science behind the theory in the first place.
We know for a fact the laws of perspective apply without bias so how then are we not able to measure the curvature using the distance at which something will disappear over the horizon?

I assume you are talking about the scientific knowledge of spherical shape of our planet? There are no facts that are in conflict with the earth being a sphere. There are mountains of data and observations gathered over thousands of years that agree with the fact that the earth is a sphere, traveling around the sun.
We can and do observe things being blocked by the earth as we move away from them. Stars, the sun, the moon, mountain ranges, and tall buildings all disappear from the bottom up. And they disappear at the same rate that would be determined geometrically on a sphere with a radius of 3859 miles.
