RE: Simple Helicopter Proof the Earth is Flat
Timeshiftarts---these kinds of experiments have been done and prove over and over again the Earth is a flat plane.
In the 1800's check out the French experiment by Biot and Argo. They put a powerful lamp on the summit of Desert Las Palmas and it would shine on Camprey 100 miles away. The two points are exactly the same altitude. If the Earth were a ball with 25,000 miles in circumference, the light would have shone 6600 feet below Camprey. It did not. It shone at the same spot.
These experiments have been done many times with bullets as well.
Bullets fall along the curve of the Earth with gravity.
In the 1800's a "powerful light" could only shine on an object a hundred miles away, not near enough to reflect a curve over 5,000 miles (today you could use a laser that makes a flat line across thousands of miles)
I suggested using the OCEAN fo your experiment because the ground has terrain. Supposedly a "flat plane" would mean a "flat ocean"
