What's a firmament? What's it made of? If it's there and measurable, how high is it?

It's made of cosmic microwaves and it's 14 billion light years high.

Listen, for hundreds of generations, competent scientists have been making a good faith effort to understand nature. If something scientists agree on doesn't make sense to you, the appropriate question isn't "are they wrong," but "what am I misunderstanding."

That's such an absolutely stupid take on the Michelson Morley experiment. The Michelson Morley experiment was a direct precursor to the development of special and then general relativity, without which a huge number of our important technological developments wouldn't exist. Go sit in the corner.

Until flat-earthers can produce a flat world map that depicts Australia accurately, they cannot be taken seriously.
Around 2500 years ago, Greek astronomers estimated the circumference of the globe earth to about 25,000 miles, long before satellites and NASA and the US Government. This is still considered remarkably accurate today given the tools and observations available.
Around 1000 years ago, an Islamic astronomer stood on top of a mountain measuring how far below eye-level the horizon was, to come up with a more accurate estimate, long before satellites and NASA and the US Government.
Who are the comparable flat earth scientists in history, and where are their calculations?
In the timeline of science, Flat-earthers are about 2800 years behind modern science.

Glober, until airline paths can be accurately represented on a ball, you have no case. On a ball, it's nonsensical.
Evidence here, watch video:

You're literally trying to reason out, on your own, the things people were trying to reason out starting around 300 BC. The answers that I GUESS you seek come from learning about the epicycles on Ptolemy, the corrections from Copernicus, the connection between earth and terrestrial physics by Newton. No one's going to walk you through 2300 years of slow, painstaking physics developments, including me. You believe what you do because of an absurd amount of hubris; you think maybe all these people throughout the centuries missed something, and you with your C- in freshman physics 1 understand what they couldn't. And that's just absurdly stupid.

You cannot explain how a pressured system can exist next to vacuum w/o barrier. That IS physics and you are losing this debate.
Bodies of water do not curve- you still can't overcome that and single word answers such as "gravity" is not the answer. You are so indoctrinated with this heliocentric belief system.
Do some research on Flat Earth.

Good try, but I have 40 years of experience teaching college-level math, physics and engineering science. Don't you think I would have figured this out by now? And I know hundreds like me. Do you think we are all brainwashed? You are a fool or a troll.

Gas particles have mass. Gravity pulls them toward the earth. This causes a pressure gradient as you get closer to the earth. I HAVE done research on flat earth: it's called learning what the early physicists of ancient Greece believed. Little by little the early beliefs were replaced by theories that explain observations better. Everything you think you're discovering, people thought about 2300 years ago.

Hey fool, open and equilibrate a shampoo bottle, then hike up a mountain and open it. The pressure difference will be exactly as expected. Then hike further up the mountain until you run out of air and improve the planet.

But why would anyone want to cover up that the world is flat? Also, do you have a photo of the edge of the earth? Video would be even better. Also, if you step off the flat earth do you fall? Also, is there people on the other side of the flat earth? If not, what is there? Is the moon flat too?

Bodies of water do not curve, water at rest does not deviate from level. Radar and radio waves do not bend.
Antarctica is the 360° ice wall that surrounds our flat earth and acts as a container for the oceans.
The Earth is flat & motionless and created by the Almighty God. There is an impenetrable firmament over the entire surface of our realm. We are the center of His creation.
NASA lies & we never landed on the Moon.
The sun is not 93,000,000 miles away. It’s small and local and runs its circuit from tropic to tropic over our motionless earth.
You are absolutely insane to believe that you can have a pressurized system adjacent to a vacuum without a solid barrier, the firmament.
Research Flat Earth.
If flat earthers aren't trolls, they're religious wackos.
The only thing missing here is how this is somehow a Jewish conspiracy.

Thousands of years before the invention of the plane, the curvature of the earth was already confirmed fairly accurately by observations on the ground. See the evidence above.
If the earth were truly flat, flat-earthers could prove it once and for all, by conducting Al Biruni's experiment.
The invention of the plane thousands of years later, and flight paths dictated by safety standards, does not change these astronomer's observations.

My personal opinion (as of now) is that the earth is a kind of squiggly ball shape. So not a perfect sphere but something relatively near to a sphere.
Also, I've decided to buy "Origin of the Species" as I checked a lot of sources and almost all of them said that this is the most important biology book (I talked about liking biology as well as physics in the post about robots/neural networks that didn't go through). It's also referenced a lot... so it seems like you need to know it.

If you are teaching your students that water behaves differently than the diagram below, then you are teaching a falsehood.
Water doesn’t lie, but when it does, it lies flat. Those are the scientific facts, glober. Stop lying to your students and yourself.

So many differnet countries and private companies have satellites into space. They're all in on the hoax, huh? Countless pilots, scientists, explorers, mathematicians, politicians from all over the world... all in on the cover up! For what reason?
THIS VIDEO MUST BE FAKE!!
