I'm telling you for the last time! Flat Earthers, Climate Change Deniers, Anti-Vaxers: You're wrong. If you have a question, I'd be happy to answer!

Debunking #FlatEarth's "200 proofs Earth is Not a Spinning Ball". Part 5.
@ericdubay's claims are here, my debunking is in the comments.
The way height is actually measured is the distance between it and the center of the Earth. That means in the image above, T, A, B, and C are all the same height because they all have the same distance to the center of Earth.
Flat Earthers seem to think that like the image above, point T is more elevated than A, which is higher than B, which is higher than C. But this is wrong! This image could be rotated in a way that C is on top, but that does not mean it is higher, perspective does not change that.

That means the water should curve to be equidistant. There is no physical law saying that water cannot curve, in fact, water almost always curves. In the ISS, when gravity is decreased, the water becomes a sphere. Bubbles are spheres, raindrops curve, and meniscus exist.
Water seeks its own level is not a physical law, it is a saying told by people, and is a way teachers simplify the actual properties of water to third graders. The correct property is that water seeks to be equipotential, or as close to Earth's center of gravity as possible.

The horizon actually does dip below the astronomical horizon. That is actually how an Iranian mathematician "Al Biruni" calculated the curve of the Earth. First, he climbed a mountain with known height (h). Then he calculated the easily measurable dip of the horizon (∂)

What about these balloon photographs? They do not use fish-eye. Even videos with fish-eye can be found to actually show curve if you find a frame with the center touching the horizon.

Here is a picture that was taken from my phone of a globe I have zoomed in as closely as possible. Do you see a curve? What if you rotate it 360˚? I didn't think so.
Flat Earthers say we fall because of density and buoyancy, but forget that the buoyant force is caused by gravity.
