There are plenty of photos and videos showing Earth's curvature - and you dismiss every single one, sight-unseen, as "CGI", not because you have the slightest bit of evidence or knowledge, but because every single one blows up your #IdiotTroll game.

... you and reality aren't on speaking terms, are you?

Is this another of these "the Bible doesn't mention paleontology, therefore dinosaurs are fake" things?

Because, seriously - you could measure all of this yourself, if you ever actually looked at the sky instead of conspiracy-nut videos.

The Cavendish experiment gives direct control over mass and separation distance and measures the resulting force - exactly the variables being investigated.

Seriously, did you flunk high-school physics? It shouldn't be possible to not know this.

And yes, there are hundreds of hours of video of the ISS being assembled in orbit.

Your paranoid conspiracy nonsense is exactly that.

I have personally measured Earth's rotation (by Foucault pendulum precession, and by laser-ring gyro). It can also be measured by mechanical or MEMS gyros. It's not stationary.

I have also personally measured Earth's curvature as horizon dip and as reciprocal zenith angle excess.

The Earth is quite measurably a near-sphere. So is the Moon, and so is every other planet and moon.

This is an unavoidable consequence of gravity and material strength; any terrestrial body of > 600 km dia has sufficient gravity to squish itself pretty accurately spherical (/ insufficient material strength to NOT squish itself spherical).
