you weren't responding to me, but:
a) IMO you don't even have to disprove anything as long as the flat-earthers don't form a set of principles leading to results which can be falsified via theory/experiment.
b) if a theory dismisses valid experimental results (observations / photos from the space, curvature, ..) for absolutely no reason ("things are fake"), we're getting into the direction of "convince you that things are wrong" and not "theory A is right/wrong".
c) there are also plenty of theoretical reasons (gravity, astronomy measurements..) but I can get why people aren't investing time to discover any single flaw because the claim is just that much off (+ it's easy to google up if needed)
However I like the general idea of trying to remember / get a better understanding of certain principles.
Since this flat earth is a bit boring, I thought of another question. Maybe we can do a thread of those at some point.
Q: The rest mass of a photon is believed to be 0. Why is it the case? What are the relevant objects you would compare the photon to?
