@ZackWolfMusic I think you just proved Sabine wrong. Flat earthers are stupid after all.

@tbrown3356 Looking at starlight bent during an eclipse. Which has been done. It's not an abstract idea, it comes with testable predictions which have been tested.

@ZackWolfMusic No proof, but lots and lots of observations that are consistent with a globe and not consistent with a flat earth. Look at the moon. Look how it doesn't shrink as it sets. Look how everyone on earth sees the same side. Look how we can bounce lasers or radio off it to see how far away it is. Gyrocompasses work, and they depend on the spin on the earth. Flight times in the southern hemisphere don't work on a flat earth. The stars rotate in different directions in the different hemispheres. I can go on and on and on.

I don't think so. I think that from our point of view we can accelerate at 1G forever and never exceed the speed of light, but from a POV we left behind we'd be accelerating more and more slowly, foreshortening in the direction of acceleration, and our clocks would run more slowly.
