Did someone actually perform this experiment, or is it still just a theory? I once saw a video of a guy trying to prove that the earth was a sphere just by drawing stuff on his computer; it didn't prove shit but most of the comment were from people who were satisfied with this 'experiment'.
This is interesting, but could the sun had just disappeared behind some tall trees too far away to see them from the drone? Nonetheless, this is the start of a good experiment; either to prove or disprove the claimed shape of our world.
I love how you assume it's a point of contention and debate. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.
