But your hypothesis is pretty much built on yet-to-be-proven theories. Before you make your hypothesis you should check if your theories are actually viable and able to be scientifically proven. You are basing guesses on more guesses. First, you should make proper theories about major phenomenons that are detected, and how they would work on a flat earth, and if it can be scientifically proven to work that way. When you have a few of these hypothesis you should join them together to form a model. Make new theories as necessary. Base new theories on observations and make hypothesis for how they work. Experiment to see if your theory works. Add to the flat earth model. That's how you should work.That's only a useful practise in small-scale experiments. When it comes to testing and validating an entire model, it's very hard to predict what we should observe without knowing what else to take into account. There's going to be overlap in effects: for example, take the RE model of gravity. It doesn't work on a large scale: should that knowledge be used to reject the model, or is there another aspect of the model (dark matter) which exists to provide an answer?

But he has stated that he is starting with a hypothesis, but I have no idea what his hypothesis is based on.Starting with constructing a hypothesis. I would be interested to know what science you are aware of that has an earlier step.
