It certainly is possible! Just go to the top of a tall mountain where you can look out over the sea, I promise you, you'll see we are on a ball. You ask me to ignore what I see for myself.
Tell me, in the FE, what diameter are the sun and moon?
I used to occasionally take hikes up to Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County. This peak provides a spectacular view of the Pacific ocean so I know what you're talking about. I've also been to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite which is more than double the height of Mt. Diablo, and yet Yosemite yields nothing to indicate any curvature of the earth.
This is a great video, and shows how simple observations can suggest that the earth is flat. What is it about his analysis that is incorrect? This is not some guy playing tricks with his equipment. it's easily reproducible, and many have done it repeatedly with the same results. The error isn't in his formulas or equations or his calculation either. It's a matter of perspective, and perspective can't prove the shape of the earth anymore than it can prove that parallels lines on a train track meet a few hundred yards down the track.
