    Or:
    • Satellites (you can set your watch by their appearance time, even ones too dim to see with the naked eye. It ain't all about the ISS...)
    • Navigation where you can't see Polaris (this still cracks me up)
    • Navigation over the surface of the Earth
    • The horizon
    • Measurable curvature of the Earth
    • Pressure differentials related to hight
    • Time dilation due to speed (this is experimentally verifiable, btw)
    • Time dilation due to gravity (this is how GPS accuracy is maintained, btw)
    • The South Celestial Pole (YOU CAN LOOK UP AND SEE IT! The southen constellations rotate around it)
    • Seasons
    • Eclipses (solar and lunar)
    • Surveying
    • Aircraft flight times
    • And that's just off the top of my head.


    There are quite a few things Mr Fallacy needs to explain for his model to actually gain any traction.
