The real world is calling so as amusing as it is I am going to leave this carnival house of a thread. Below is a final summary of my thoughts on flat earth.
The numerous experiments that refute flat earth include:
1) Measuring The Coriolis force
2) The Cavendish Experiment
3) Eratosthenes' Calculation at various altitudes
4) The Michaelson Gale experiment
If you refuse to believe or repeat these experiments I have highlighted up-thread the steps you can take to measure the earths curvature for yourself including how to accurately measure curvature from a photograph and low cost options for climbing to an altitude necessary to make this measurement. I have also highlighted low cost options for building an electronic gyroscope capable of directly measuring the rotation of the earth.
Some people want to believe the earth is actually flat for theological reasons. For those individuals I have provided information on a worldview you can adopt that will for allow this and does not require conspiracy theories. It is possible to believe on a fundamental level the world is flat without rejecting all of modern science you just have to abandon the cartoon version of flat earth.
The layman's description of such a worldview is here:

It cannot be disproven and shrugged off for it is not currently falsifiable.
Or you can choose to live in an imaginary dream world full of blind faith in an icewall and dome. That is your choice to make. I wish you all good luck and good fortune especially those of you who believe the earth is flat.
