I've heard Neil deGrasse Tyson and other important scientists say that mature science does not rely on our senses, but all explanations I read about the roundness of earth are sense-based: How a ship disappears on the horizon, how astronauts have seen it from space, the shape of the shadow of an eclipse, etc.

My question is whether or not science has a physical or mathematical model that proves the roundness of the earth beyond what our senses tell us. 

PD. I'm no flat-earther, but I'm reading about the [holographic principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle), and I am a little blown away by it. Thank you.
