It is not only the great minds of history that understand that the earth is a sphere. All of current science understands the correct shape of the earth.
There is no point debating a conspiratard. Just point out their lies.
As to Tesla, a perfect case in point where conspiratards use quote mines, misinformation or outright lies to fill in their conspiracy stories. Tesla disagreed with Einstein's theory of relativity and its explanation of gravity. Tesla simply turned out to be wrong on this subject. He did not think there was no such thing as gravity. In his later life, he was working on his own theory of gravity that he never finished.
A quote from Tesla on gravity:
“I have worked out a dynamic theory of gravity in all details and hope to give this to the world very soon. It explains the causes of this force and the motions of heavenly bodies under its influence so satisfactorily that it will put an end to idle speculations and false conceptions, as that of curved space. According to the relativists, space has a tendency to curvature owing to an inherent property or presence of celestial bodies.
“Granting a semblance of reality to this fantastic idea, it is still very self-contradictory. Every action is accompanied by an equivalent reaction and the effects of the latter are directly opposite to those of the former. Supposing that the bodies act upon the surrounding space causing curvature of the same, it appears to my simple mind that the curved spaces must react on the bodies and, producing the opposite effects, straighten out the curves.
“Since action and reaction are coexistent, it follows that the supposed curvature of space is entirely impossible -However, even if it existed it would not explain the motions of the bodies as observed. Only the existence of a field of force can account for them and its assumption dispenses with space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined to oblivion.”
So nice job on lying, Sparky. :-D I guess a flat earth MUST lie, on account on how their basic premise is WRONG. I am willing to bet your supposed quote by Tesla is also a lie.
Tesla came up with alternating current, a great invention. And what? Alternating current proves the earth is flat? lolz
search for my quote, you'll find it.
you realize that contradicts einsteins relativity?
and this last sentence literally says everything we have up to this point is garabage. so no, you didn't win anything, but you did successful show that Nikola Tesla doesn't think much of Einsteins relativity and curved space.

I looked a bit and a bit of fact checking reveals the truth about your "quote". As this picture shows, the quote was originally made by some random dude on facebook, followed by a Tesla quote. Take a peek:
So, flatheads are attributing a quote to Mr Tesla that someone else posted to facebook. lolz
Yes, my quote states that Tesla disagrees with Einsteins theory of relativity and how it explained gravity. Tesla, in his own words above, also said he was working on his own theory of gravity. He died before releasing it. He was saying he disagreed with Einstein's understanding of gravity. He wasn't saying there is no gravity. Tesla said Einstein was going to be proven wrong.
As it turns out, Tesla was wrong. Relativity has been proven by every test imagined and designed. So Tesla was wrong about gravity.

And let's put to bed this stupid idea that Tesla was a flathead.
Here is a Tesla quote from an article on Tesla in the New York Herald Tribune dated 9/11/1932:
"Invariably it was found that these waves, just as those in the air,
follow the curvature of the earth and bend around obstacles, a
peculiarity exhibited to a much lesser degree by transverse vibrations
in a solid."
followed by these Tesla quotes in the THE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY WITHOUT WIRES, Electrical World and Engineer, March 5, 1904:
"Each of them will be preferably located near some important center of civilization and the news it receives through any channel will be flashed to all points of the globe." and "...the transmitter will emit a wave complex of total maximum activity of ten million horse-power, one per cent. of which is amply sufficient to "girdle the globe." and again, "the sound of the human voice, with all its intonations and inflections, faithfully and instantly reproduced at any other point of the globe".
And Tesla quotes from THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY, Century Illustrated Magazine, June 1900:
"By realizing such a plan, we should be enabled to get at any point of the globe a continuous supply of energy, day and night.", then "This metal, it would seem, has an origin entirely different from that of the rest of the globe." and later, "It is a well-known fact that the interior portions of the globe are very hot... and we could certainly avail ourselves in this way of the internal heat of the globe." he continues, " I was confident, however, that with properly designed machinery signals could be transmitted to any point of the globe" and even more from the same speech, "That communication without wires to any point of the globe is practicable with such apparatus would need no demonstration, but through a discovery which I made I obtained absolute certitude."
I have more, but I think that would belabor the point. TESLA KNEW THE EARTH WAS A SPHERE!
Please don't besmirch this genius anymore with your foul quote mining.
Thank You :-D

you work with the information you have. had he gone farther in proving is own gravity theory, who knows.
maybe the point is, get off your ass and prove it now and stop trying to prove it with dead people.

says the guy quoting dead people...
sorry, I mean: says the guy posting bullshit quotes that dead guys didn't even say...
The point being is that once again you are wrong and spreading lies. The earth is a sphere, just accept reality.

suez canal. 100% level. go look at their website. do some research.
if you can't understand why this contradicts a globe model...
you obviously don't understand logic, and therefor, science.

Yes, so let's just forget the fact that you are a lying piece of shit. Seems legit...
About the Suez canal:
There is a long straight stretch of 22 or 29 miles and you can watch ships disappear hull first on that stretch.
Both entrances are close to the sea level, perhaps a 4 foot difference, is that what you mean by level? And the tides are tame, so not much of a current.
From quora:
"There are several factors involved in the rate and direction of the flow in the Suez canal. There is a small difference in mean sea level between the northern entrance at Port Said and the south at Suez (1.2 m, or 4 ft higher at Suez) but that seems to have no important impact. Of course there are the tides; not very massive because both sides are in the dead end of almost landlocked seas. The typical movement is less than half a metre. The Bitter Lakes and the seasonal influences have an impact in the direction of the flow in the northern sector of the canal: in summer the Bitter Lakes are drying out and have a slightly lower water level than Port Said so the current is southward. In winter the reverse is the case. The southern section depends mainly on the tide in the Red Sea."
So lets wrap up this post by reiterating that you spread false information, lying about famous people to further your incorrect belief. Shameful. And you won't acknowledge that fact, but just proceed to post more lies. WTF dude?

so you have nothing, but you keep bringing this up as if we didn't have ultra-zoom lenses now.
then you pull out this stuff about being at sea level, well that is the point, if we have 100 miles of flat earth, flat canal, then that equals problem for ball earth model.
you try your best to explain it away, but you can't, you can only lie about it, try and call me a liar for bringing you truth.
but i've come to expect that from you.
