This is basically the same thing I wrote in another comment, but hopefully clearer. If you were to use a 3d Earth and universe modeling program with lots of physics simulating that could be manipulated in any way, which is what I was suggesting in another post, and then manipulate a spherical Earth to be flat and presume that scenario to be reality and it actually really was reality, then the physics which would prove a seemingly round earth to be flat would be the calculations which would reverse those manipulations from an Earth that is simulated as flat to one in which the Earth is round, which is what we observe. However, if you were in such an improbable universe or even if that is the condition of our actual universe, then it would be difficult or possibly even impossible to detect that we were in such a universe. If however, although even less probable, such a bizarre scenario were to solve an as of yet unsolved physics problem such as grand unification or whatever it's called, although there wouldn't be any direct evidence for the theory, the theoretical physics solution would give some precedence to the theory.
