Is the earth flat?

Again avoiding the point, is all you do like an expert avoiding it! Size of shadow is avoiding my point and you know it! Shape of shadow is the point. Shadow is curved. Each side as well, first the leading curve edge of Earth passes across the moon, then the Earth blocks out the moon perfectly, then the opposite edge of the Earth passes across the moon. Your change that subject to avoid the truth.

CELESTIAL TRACKING WAS INVENTED BY FLAT EARTHERS. ECLIPSE PREDICTION WAS INVENTED BY FLAT EARTHERS. THALES AND ANAXIMANDER OF MILETUS ARE IN GLOBE EARTH HISTORY BOOKS SAYING THEY WERE THE FIRST TO CORRECTLY PREDICT AN ECLIPSE!! Citation: "In concluding this astronomical discussion, the Lecturer expressed his opinion that the date B C. 585 was now established for the eclipse of Thales beyond the possibility of a doubt." Airy on Thales' eclipse - On the results of recent calculations on the Eclipse of Thales and Eclipses connected with it. - G B Airy, Esq. F.R.S. Astronomer Royal https://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.a...ry_Thales.html "Thales described a simple model of a small flat Earth surrounded by a sheet of water" http://practicalphysics.org/thales-model-universe.html "Anaximander described the Earth as rounded and circular with two plane surfaces (not necessarily a flat disk, more like a cylinder or ‘stone pillar’), which was suspended freely in space." http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/A/Anaximander

Looking at the sky gives you nothing quantifiable for the shape of the earth. Where can I go and measure this curvature then? Give me something practical.

You continue to push visual phenomena, when physical, tangible phenomena proves the globe is only a concept.

You have jumped from images, to gravity, to eclipses etc as your proofies but failed to provide a practical demonstration of your belief in the claim of the globe that standing bodies of water can conform to the exterior of a shape. All you have is faith, you can test the physics of water for yourself.
