>If Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference as NASA and modern astronomy claim, spherical trigonometry dictates the surface of all standing water must curve downward an easily measurable 8 inches per mile multiplied by the square of the distance. This means along a 6 mile channel of standing water, the Earth would dip 6 feet on either end from the central peak. Every time such experiments have been conducted, however, standing water has proven to be perfectly level. In fact I remember an old story of someone doing exactly that, taking up the challenge of a flat-earther. They set up surveying equipment with a scope at one end of a long placid lake, a pole at the other and one midway. When they looked through the scope at the far pole, the middle pole was clearly higher. "That doesn't prove anything," said the flat-earther, "level the transit." So they leveled the transit, and the middle pole appeared some distance below level, and the far pole some distance below that. The flat-earther declared this conclusively proved the earth was flat. You really cannot win in this situation.
