Stanley, what do you think of using a "swiss knife" app, which has a mechanic's level? Then use the smart phone to measure the angle of a broomstick, or aluminum profile?

I can't remember if I saw this experiment done by watching a link on this website as a lurker or not? It was about a guy that did it in Regina, Saskatchewan. He rode his bike a certain distance while his buddy measured also at the other end. He concluded the earth is curved.

Why would I get 2 thumbs down for simply reporting what this fellow concluded? I was only trying to be helpful by adding in a link? :confused: Geesh, if you give thumbs down for things like this, I can't imagine what you would use for things that are actually offensive. :(

You're thinking of this: 

He took it for granted the sun was far away and took two observations.

What I'm suggesting is take a lot of observations and (more or less) triangulate where the sun is. That won't work on at least one of the models.
