Why go through the pretence? A simple viewing of a sunset destroys all FE models. That happens daily.
How does a sunset destroy "all" FE models? The sun goes underneath the Earth at night and comes back up in the morning. Even the Aztecs knew this, though they believed the sun had to fight off demons underneath the Earth so they killed people to give the sun strength for its battles, which was even more wacky than the round-Earth theory.
Sunsets are sometimes very pretty. I love a good sunset. (And I'm glad the sun doesn't actually have to fight off demons at night.) But the sun going under the Earth does not disprove all FE models. It only disproves the wackadoodle FE theories that claim that the sun doesn't go underneath at night.
If the sun goes underneath the Earth, there would be no daylight on the earth for a period of time for anyone. That doesn't happen, so.... back to sunset destroys FE Models.
There would be daylight for the people living on the under-side of the Earth.
Interesting. Where is this edge which we travel round to reach the Southern side of the earth? Surely this is the proof FE needs? Presumably we can stand on the edge and watch the sun double back round?
Probably, yes, but it would be very dangerous, as you could fall off.

This magellanclavichord two-sided earth is getting a bit too close to the fake JRoweSkeptic's fake Dual Earth Theory for comfort!
I don't know what JRoweSkeptic's Dual Earth Theory is. While I'm not willing to dismiss out of hand a theory that there are two Earths, or a hundred Earths, that's not part of my view. The universe is a very big place*, so there are probably millions of Earth-like planets out there, though I'm quite sure none would be exact replicas of our Earth.
*In an episode of the old BBC radio series, "The Goon Show" they are in Africa searching for King Solomon's mines and they're lost. One of them says "Do you know where we are?" The other responds "Yes. We're in Africa." The first says, "But Africa's a very big place." The other says "Then don't stand so close to me!"
And while I'm off on this tangent, in the same episode, one of them asks "How much ground can you cover in a day?" And the other, who is very fat, says, "I can cover three square yards standing still."
I loved that show.
Anyway, the universe is a very big place so there's room for a lot of planets, including Earth-like ones.
