Yes, it is. Satellite imaging will negate the hypothesis and prove that Earth is round, not flat.
Since the determination of the fact that Earth is spherical as opposed to flat, all scientists (after a short lag period) have accepted that it is so.
because there has to be some kind of distortion of earths spherical shape
It is impossible to represent a curved object (our world) on a flat surface (a map) without distorting something. Different projections distort different things. The good thing about a globe is that nothing is distorted. As a result, they are a way better display of our earth.
A distortion on a map is when you transfer information from a curved suface to a flat suface losing some accuracy. Distortion is a change in shape, size, or position of a place when it's shown on a map. . . . In example . . . Transferring information from a globe to a map
The ancient Greeks knew (most likely discovered too) the earth was not flat contrary to the popular myth that Columbus thought he would fall of the Earth if he sailed to far West. _______________________ We have no way of knowing which ancient civilizations realized that the Earth was spherical, but it was likely the Phoenicians, those sea-faring traders who roamed the Mediterranean and on to England and the Norse lands.
The Flat Earth hypothesis was proven wrong through various scientific observations and experiments that demonstrated the Earth is round. For example, observations of the Earth's shape during lunar eclipses, satellite imagery, and circumnavigation expeditions provided evidence for the Earth's spherical shape. Additionally, space exploration and photographs of the Earth from space further solidified our understanding of the Earth's round shape.
Many areas of science are now testable, but were subject to superstition or religious belief in the past. One very simple belief that seems obvious to us now is the fact that the earth circles the sun, easily demonstrated with modern astronomy. Yet in the past, it seemed perfectly obvious that the sun circled the earth. A similar belief would be our recognition that the earth is circular. In the past, belief in a flat earth seemed to be common sense.
In the bible, it says the Earth is Flat, so it is Flat. If God created the Earth and Jesus wrote the bible, the Earth is Flat
I'm tempted to leave this blank, as it's the actual answer to the question (that is, there is no such evidence), but I'm afraid it would be misinterpreted. The Earth is not flat.
The Earth was never flat. The Flat Earth society believe they have proof that the Earth is flat but other no individuals or organisations have ever seriously considered that the Earth was not round since the ancient Greeks.
Nothing in the Universe is as large as the Earth AND flat. If the Earth were flat, it would be the only flat object, other than some small asteroids.

It is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface
Have you ever heard any news about people falling off Earth's edge? yeah but that doesn't really answer the question.
Flat Earth Society was created in 1956.
The Earth Pressed Flat was created in 000.
Inventing the Flat Earth was created in 1991.
