> why do all the curvature calculations fail? Please, show a calculation that fails. Or two.

  It fails in the sense that the rate of curvature expected on a sphere of that size cannot be seen or measured anywhere. Here's a curvature calculator from a non-geocentric site https://dizzib.github.io/earth/curve-calc/?d0=30&h0=10&unit=imperial https://dizzib.github.io/earth/curve-calc/?d0=30&h0=10&unit=...

    It was done in 240 B.C., by the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw30CgaXiQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw30CgaXiQw

      The old faithful Eratosthenes. The 2300 year old experiment used to refute no curvature being detected using modern optics in the year 2020. That experiment is irrelevant because it assumes the metrics of the Heliocentric model. Meaning, it assumes the Sun to be much larger and further away. The Geocentric model proposes the Sun is vastly smaller and more localized. In that scenario the same phenomena would occur. and I'll also add here, since I see it mentioned elsewhere in the thread. I'm not here to 'troll' anyone. I came here to glance through threads, noticed this one, looked at the picture, and had to say something. (((Space))) is not real my fellow human friends.
