Yes you can. Watch a ship sail away. If the world was flat, you be able to see it for a very very long distance. But since the earth curves, it disappears beyond said curve of the earth.

That's not exactly true either

Edited by Lord Huron: 5/30/2016 5:02:41 AMIt's not true that the ship doesn't fade from your view? You could use binoculars or a telescope and the boat would still disappear from view because the earth is round. Want another way to tell the earth is round, better yet, prove its spherical? (I know it's not a perfect sphere) during an eclipse (or solar eclipse, I'm not sure) the earth shadow is projected on the moon. The shadow is round. [spoiler]checkm8[/spoiler]

Of course, that's just fact

I meant standing in below the elevation in which you can tell a difference

Don't be an àsshole, now we don't need to go that far
-
Pretty sure you can
-
Not really when you are on the ground the surface looks flat as ever
-
You can if you are really high up. I'm sure there are plenty of pictures of it
-
The only thing you see is that bong in your hand
-
That really tall sky scraper in India or whatever is so tall that you can actually see the curve of the earth from the top ....
-
If you want to be on cloud nine that's fine by me
-
Ok, but I know what I've seen with my own eyes.
