If there is one thing that completely disproves a theory, that theory is disproven. If gravity is the same everywhere on earth, the earth is not a flat plane. If ships sink below the horizon, the earth is not flat. I can explain every single observable phenomena in nature regarding the shape of the earth. That makes one of us.

>Science is a woven fabric made of truth and lies.

Thats empty rhetoric, the cornerstone of deception.

I don't think you're stupid, I think you're scientifically illiterate, which is a function of modern education, and deceived. If you believe the earth and reality as we know it are a simulation, you are working in an entirely different framework, and trying to argue the earth is flat is absolutely pointless because you are not doing science, you are doing philosophy.

If you think reality is 'real' and you are looking to discern the nature of that reality with observable phenomena, then the earth is a sphere. Thats it, theres nothing else to argue.

To humor you, I will watch one video. I can already tell you 90% of the content will be things completely unrelated to the shape of the earth, like the fact that NASA fakes a lot of its images, to continue getting funding and in the cold war era, to pretend we were outpacing the soviets. The other 10% will be straight lies and/or really bad misunderstandings of scientific principles. I've watched 3 flat earth videos > 1 hour. All of the presenters had no background in any natural science, and they all had different models for their flat planet.

Since I am going to watch a video for you, please do this one thing for me: Pick up this book, and work through the chapters on the equations of motion, work-energy, and momentum. There are easy experiments you can do at home to verify the things in this book. Yes there are calculus equations in it, but most of the equations you use are simply algebra.

To get ready for the freshman year physics slog, make sure you master trig. Right triangles are your friend. After that maybe read up on vectors here and there. After that you might be ready to do some real physics problems out of Halliday and Resnick. That's if you want to get a huge and somewhat difficult headstart. Calculus is the bedrock of most physics, so the sooner you can get exposed to calc the better.
