You can. But being on a ship, checking the GPS coordinates while moving closer to the lighthouse, makes more sense. You're defending your point from theories, go for a sail and experience it first hand. I have.

This being said, I'm not claiming there are no places hidden from us but 'flat' is a ridiculous claim.

What theories? Please share what one should observe in your experiment. "Go and try" means nothing. Observations over water disprove claims of curvature, everyone can do them, no need to book a trip to anywhere.

Flat means level, a plane. It certainly ain't a ball with nasa/gov claimed dimensions.

Read my note above, please:

Go on any ship in the night and look for lighthouses that are +50 miles away. Take proper binoculars or a camera with long lenses and start taking pics while coming closer.

That's it. You can do it in the night or a day. The closer you get to the lighthouse, the more of the building you'll see. It's so simple but you rather spent the time on the internet, watching videos with random claims.

Agreed, NASA could lie about the dimensions but earth ain't flat for sure.

You should not be able to see a lighthouse from sea at 50+ miles distance, another observation disproving the curvature claim. Without curvature there is no globe, so the theory is kaput.

As to why you see more of it when closing in, look up angular resolution and perspective, but this observation can easily be recreated from the beach in calm weather to show the same results, hence why I shared a couple.

No amount of nonsensical "gotcha!" memes can help the globe model prove its claims - our world is observably flat/level. We see way too far.

Just more nonsense, sorry. Find a lighthouse that's 50 miles from you, grab binoculars (or a camera with a proper long lenses) and try to find it. Come back and apologize.

Don't trust people posting this online, test it yourself, please.
