Test your hypothesis that the earth is flat through a Flat earther group using Eratosthenes' idea. No homemade rockets and dangerous tech needed.
Test it worldwide with your Flat earther group.
Now if your measurements are not totally crap (You set up some basic measurement standards and methods for your group) and your basic geometry is also not flawed, then you're going to obtain a reasonable result.
Now if you confirm the earth is spherical, you will make headlines: FLAT EARTHER GROUP CONFIRMS CLASSICAL EXPERIMENT
You might even get written up in a journal. You might even get published in Nature. I'm not kidding.
Now if your result is that the earth is flat ,the first thing people are going to look at your geometry and your explanations. Should that check out, they will: DECLARE YOUR DATA FRAUDULENT
BUT
Because you did the actual measurements you can now say: TEST IT, WE HAVE!
Sooner or later if scientists claim this is nonsensical, high school groups and enthusiast are going to take up the challenge. THEN lo and behold The truth shall prevail!
Either way, you're going to get the attention you want. You're either going to get acclaim or you're going to be a famous liberator.
AND many confirmation experiments have also yielded additional insights.
SO get off your ass.
